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.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
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.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

GALGOTIAS UNIVERSITY, UP
2. Post-mortem Changes
The changes which occur after death that are helpful in estimation of the approximate time
of death can be classified into :
Immediate changes (Few minutes after death to maximum 30 minutes)
a) Insensibility and loss of voluntary power
b) Cessation of respiration
c) Cessation of circulation
Early changes (1-36 hours.)Early changes (1-36 hours.)
a) Changes in the skin
b) Changes in the eye
c) Cooling of the body (Algor mortis)
d) Postmortem lividity (Livor mortis)
e) Changes in the muscles (Rigor mortis, RM)
Late changes (>36 hours)
a) Decomposition (combination of autolysis and putrefaction)
b) Modifications of putrefaction (adipocere, mummification).
3. Change in skinChange in skinChange in skinChange in skin
Skin becomes ashy-white, pale and loses elasticity,
within a few minutes of death.

Note :- pupil dilation occurs after death but, when rigor mortis formation occur pupil become
contract.
5. Tache noire - If the eyelids remain open after death, desiccation of
sclera occurs giving rise to somewhat triangular shaped discolored
areas [simplyTache noire (black spots)].These are yellowish in color
in the beginning, but as dust settles in, they become dark red or later
even black.

6. Loss of intraocular tension-
Intraocular pressure (IOP) falls rapidly after death. It becomes
zero in 4–8 h from 10–20mmHg (Average–15mm )during
life. Due to this,The eyeballs look sunken in the orbit.

8. Rising potassium level in vitreous humour:
After death, the cells around the vitreous chamber breakdown
and release their fluid in the vitreous, due to this the
concentration of ions slowly increases.
Increasing concentration of ions in vitreous chamber provide a
remarkable data of time since death and medical history.
If a body finding in underground water, in this case theIf a body finding in underground water, in this case the
environmental conditions make difficulties to determine the time
of death, but examination of potassium level give estimate time

cooling of the body
Body heat falls after death
Average rate of fall -
(a) during summers -0.75°F/h (b) during winters -1.5°F/h.
Heat loss is affected by the ambient temperature( environmentalHeat loss is affected by the ambient temperature( environmental
temperature)
Corpse temperature is measured by a thermometer inserted into
the liver or rectum.
Time of death is expressed as a range of time
10. Temperature is measured by using a chemical thermometer graduated
from 1 to 50 degrees centigrade, inserted 10 cm into the rectum.
When there is history of suspected sexual assault, then the temperature
is measured from the under surface of the liver by making a slit opening
on the upper part of right side of the abdomen (sub-hepatic
temperature).
Time since death = Normal body temp – Rectal temp/subhepatic temp
Rate of fall ofTemp/hour
Example:
= 37 ˚C(Normal temp) – 35.5˚C(measured)
1.5˚C(constant)
=1 Hour.
11. Factors affecting the rate of cooling:Factors affecting the rate of cooling:Factors affecting the rate of cooling:Factors affecting the rate of cooling:----
I. Age: The bodies of old people and children cool faster than adult bodies.
II. Condition of Body: Fat and large bodies cool slowly due to fat which is a
bad conductor of heat, ; hence females and obese bodies cool slowly.
III. Manner of Death: The bodies of persons who were suffering from chronic
or wasting diseases cool faster than persons dying of violent reasons.
IV. Atmosphere: If a body is in open air, it cools faster. It also cools faster
when in water.when in water.
V. Clothing: Coverings on or around the body; clothing prevents heat loss
from the body.
Postmortem caloricity:
It is a condition where there is rise of body temperature after death instead
of cooling of the body.
postmortem glycogenolysis, can produce up to about 140 calories that can
raise the body temperature about 2° C

Without oxygen in the blood—
Calcium accumulates in the muscles
Muscles stiffenMuscles stiffen
Starts in the eyelids and expands throughout and lastly the
lower limbs.
After about 15 hours—
Muscle fibers begin to dissolve
Softening begins
13. Live muscle fibers slide

14. Time of appearance: (Rule of twelve)
• Starts in 3 to 6 hours
• Takes 12 hours to complete
• Stays for another 12 hours
• Passes off in the next 12 hours.
Observation Approx. Time Scale
The body is at its most rigid state Just over 2 hours
No visible signs of rigor
Less than 2 hours
or more than 48 hours ago
Rigor mortis completed 12 hours
Stiffness generally disappears After 36 hours
15. Time of DeathTime of DeathTime of DeathTime of Death————Livor MortisLivor MortisLivor MortisLivor Mortis
Lividity begins about 2 hours after death.
Discoloration becomes permanent after 8 hours
Ambient temperature affects the speed of decomposition.
Cooler temp – occurs slower
Warmer temp – occurs fasterWarmer temp – occurs faster
Lividity can determine the position of the body during the first eight
hours.
The normal colour of livor mortis changes from red to purple as
oxygen gradually dissociates from the hemoglobin of red blood cells.
This produces deoxyhemoglobin that is purple in colour and therefore
postmortem lividity normally looks purplish.
