Introduction Nurses face challenges in practice. They have inadequate support, equipment, time, and funds. It becomes hard for them to cater for patients with emotional, behavioral, and cognitive problems. These patients require participatory care delivery This includes the help of nurses and friends, or family members. Also, nurses lack appropriate skills, education, and knowledge to help such patients. Through the appropriate interventions they can approach the patients and initiate participatory care delivery This project offers a way through which the nurses can get help to overcome those limitations.
Nurses in today’s world face numerous challenges in their work. They strive to deliver excellent care with inadequate suppor ...
Behaviour Change Communication is an interactive process of any intervention with individuals, group or community to develop communication strategies to promote positive health behaviours which are appropriate to the current social conditions and thereby help the society to solve their pressing health problems
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
Acetabularia Information For Class 9 .docxvaibhavrinwa19

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Community Perceptions of the Social Accountability of health professionals in Bamenda Cameroon
1. Community perceptions of the Social
Accountability of health professionals in
Bamenda-Cameroon.

National Polytechnic University Institute, Bamenda

2. Introduction
• Socially accountable health professionals (HP) are:
• Appropriately trained and function as required by society;
• Able to predict the needs of the community and respond
appropriately,
• Able to render services and conduct teaching and research
consistent with identified needs;
• Able to impact on the improvement of the health system both
locally and internationally.
Boelen C, Wollard R. “Social Accountability: The leap to excellence for educational institutions:, Medical Teacher
2011:33(8);614-619.
3. Introduction
• Practice of the health professions is not yet regulated in Cameroon
• A professional degree or diploma in the respective discipline
automatically qualifies the graduate for practice
• A framework for ensuring safe practice and continuing professional
development is still at its rudimentary stage
• In this context embedding social accountability in the health
professions education curricula has the potential to create a
practitioner-led platform for safe and community responsive practice.
4. Introduction
• The literature on social accountability in the domain of health is still
dominated and animated by the concept of “social accountability of
medical schools”. (GCSA, 2010)*
• For the health professions community to be socially accountable, the
socially accountable school should logically produce a socially
accountable graduate.
*Global Consensus for Social Accountability of Medical Schools, December 2010. Available from
www.healthsocialaccountability.org (Accessed 18th January 2016).
5. Aim of the study
• This study was conducted with the aim of assessing the perception of
adult community members on the social accountability of health
professionals in the Mbachongwa health area, a rural community in
Bamenda, North West Region of Cameroon.

7. Methodology
• The CPU Model of Boelen and Wollard*(conceptualization, production,
usability) was used to assess the perception of adult members of the
Mbachongwa health area about the social accountability of the HPs
serving them.
• Focus Group Discussions in three villages (Mbatu, Nsongwa, and
Chomba) elicited feedback on the questions
• “who are HPs?”
• “How are HPs trained?”
• “What do HPs do?”
• Data was collected and analyzed between the months of July and
October 2015.

8. Results
CPU DOMAIN RESEARCH QUESTION
CONCEPTUALIZATION Who is a health professional?
Community members perceived health professionals to be people who:
• are trained in a specialized educational environment regulated by the state,
• who possess specialized knowledge, skills and attitudes that make them capable of pro-
actively responding to the health needs of the community (both preventive and
curative), and
• are socially recognizable by their dressing and behavior.
9. Results
• “A health personnel is a person that is trained by the government to
provide health services to members of the community…They provide
both curative care and counselling to members of the community. We
know that health problems come in great variety. The health
professionals have knowledge about health and can apply this
knowledge practically to solve our health problems. In the work
environment you can easily tell who a health professional is. They are
often dressed in white. You can tell a doctor from his long jacket and a
nurse from her short sleeve gown and cap.” (FG1P04)
10. Results
CPU DOMAIN RESEARCH QUESTION
PRODUCTION How do people become health
professionals?
Regarding the training of health professionals, community members said that;
• Health professionals undergo specialized training in health professions education
institutions
• The training of health professionals is regulated by the state
• The community has confidence in the quality of training given to health professionals
• The only problem is whether the health professionals translate their knowledge and skill
into socially accountable practice.
11. Results
• “…Their training is well regulated so we are confident that they are given
the right knowledge and skills they need to cater for the health of the
community. We are not really involved in this aspect.” (FG2P01)
• “I don’t know if health professionals are trained to reflect on the
significance of that “white” that they put on. Health is not just a job but a
vocation.” (FG2P03)
• “We have confidence that our health workers are well trained. The
government takes care of that. The problem is whether or not they practice
what they learn in school.” (FG2P07)
12. Results
CPU DOMAIN RESEARCH QUESTION
UTILIZATION How do health professionals behave in the
community; do they live up to your
expectations?
Community members perceived that health professionals are generally not socially
accountable. Some issues raised were:
• Deplorable state of roads and living conditions deter health professionals from coming to
live and work in the rural community
• Rural health facilities are so under-equipped that even when they are available the
healthcare staff do not have the resources to render optimal care
• Lack of proximity of health facilities to the rural population
• Poor pay leading to unethical money-motivated practices
13. Results
“What I don’t like is the idea of doctors in public hospitals referring a patient
to special pharmacies to obtain drugs. Is it that those drugs are found only in
those particular pharmacies or that they have other interests?
Nurses should also be patient with patients. I have no business visiting a
nurse when I am not sick, so when they see a patient they should remember
that this is a suffering person and extend some kindness.
Bad news flies, and there is a scandal in the recent past that has damaged
the reputation of our health center. A woman went into labor at night and
the husband rushed her to the health center only to be told that the health
center is not open at night. As he was struggling to get a cab to rush her to
town, the baby came out and fell on the ground. That is how bad things are
here.” (FG2P06)
14. Discussion
• Community members do not feel involved in the training of HPs
• There is dissonance in that although HPs are considered well trained,
they do not render quality care to the community (not socially
accountable)
• This is attributed mostly to systems factors but also poorly motivated
staff
• These findings corroborates those of Leinster (2011) who reported
that factors such as the available resources and the structure of the
health services have a very large effect on doctors’ attitudes and
behaviour.
Sam Leinster (2011) Evaluation and assessment of social accountability in medical schools,
Medical Teacher, 33:8, 673-676,
15. Recommendation
• Focusing on the social accountability of health professions education
may be a means of improving quality of care and the relationships
between communities and health professionals.
• Further research should assess the perception of health professions
educators, the perception of HP students, the content of social
accountability in the HP curricula, and the impact of a ‘social
accountability course’ on the practice of HPs.
