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.
Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter 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.

Bonus: Explain the difference between an endoskeleton and
an exoskeleton.
- An endoskeleton is hard parts inside for support and protection
(i.e. mammalian bones); an exoskeleton is hard parts outside for
protection & support (i.e. crustacean, beetle shell, sea urchin, clam)
1. What two substances in the matrix give bones strength & flexibility?
• Collagen (gives flexibility) and Minerals (calcium & phosphate give strength).
1. What happens in the red bone marrow of bones?
• New blood cells are formed.
1. Name 3 types of muscle tissue.
• Skeletal muscle (movement), Smooth muscle (stomach/intestines/blood vessels), and
Cardiac muscle: (heart pumps blood around body)
1. Name a set of bones or body area for each type of joint: a ball-and-socket
join, a hinge joint, and a gliding (planar) joint.
• Ball/Socket: shoulder, hip, Hinge: finger, knee, elbow, Gliding: vertebrae, wrist, ankle
1. What is an antagonistic muscle pair? Give an example or explain what it does.
• A set of muscles that move a joint in opposite directions, like the biceps & triceps in
the upper arm, quadriceps & hamstring in the thigh, or wrist flexors & extensors
3. Digestive System
• Organs
– mouth
– esophagus
– stomach
– gall bladder & liver
– pancreas
– small intestine
– large intestine
• Role
– to extract nutrients and water from
ingested food and beverages
– to conveniently store and eliminate all
leftover waste products
4. Digestion of Food Molecules
Carbohydrate Fat Protein
Monosaccharide Fatty Acid Amino Acid
Leucine
Glucose
Starch
5. Where Does Digestion Begin?
• Sight/Smell/Taste
– triggers release of saliva & stomach
fluids (digestive enzymes, acid)
• Mouth
– mechanical digestion of food with teeth
and tongue
– chemical digestion: saliva helps dissolve
big pieces and lubricates esophagus
• Esophagus
– peristalsis moves bolus of food along
this tube into stomach
– esophageal sphincter at top of stomach
keeps contents down
Swallowing demo
7. Stomach
• Peristalsis
– wave-like churning smashes food
– 3-4 hours before chyme leaves stomach
• Absorption
– small amounts of digested carbohydrates, alcohol and water and
absorbed directly into the bloodstream
Chemical digestion
acid & enzymes squirted into
stomach
food liquefied into chyme
thick mucus membrane protects
stomach lining from acid
ulcers: infection (& stress,
caffeine, NSAIDS, smoking,
spicy/acidic foods)
8. Small Intestine
• Pyloric sphincter
– allows digested food out bit by bit
• Duodenum
– first curve of the intestines
• Peristalsis
– keeps things moving through 20 feet
or so of coiled tubes
• Absorption (diffusion)
– villi (finger-like folds) increase surface
area for diffusion
– nutrients (fats, carbohydrates &
proteins) cross cell membranes into
bloodstream
– vitamins & minerals absorbed here
• all B's & C (water-soluble)
• A, D, E, & K (fat-soluble)
– Blood taken to liver for processing
• then taken to kidneys for filtering
10. Large Intestine
• a.k.a. the colon & rectum
– shorter (~ 5 ft.) & wider than
small intestine
– no villi - smooth
– waste takes from 12 hrs. up to 2
days to travel through
– remaining water diffuses back
into bloodstream
– undigested "leftovers" are
stored until feces can be
eliminated
Helpful bacteria
more than 700 different types
help digest/break down nutrients
produce some vitamins (K)
11. Organs that Aid in Digestion
• Liver
– Produces bile (a chemical that breaks down fat molecules)
– Filters toxins from the blood (blood's first stop after small intestine)
• Alcohol/drugs, bacteria, worn out blood cells
– Stores macronutrients (carbohydrates/fats/proteins)
• Stores excess glucose as glycogen
• Also stores fatty acids and amino acids (can convert these to glucose if needed)
Glucose
12. Secretions that Aid in Digestion
• Bile
– stored in the Gall Bladder
– bile released into the duodenum
(first part of the small intestine)
– bile salts break down fats
• emulsifier (like dish detergent)
• Pancreatic Juice
– fluid contains water, enzymes
(speed up chemical reactions),
and sodium bicarbonate
– The Pancreas also releases insulin,
necessary for glucose to enter cells
Pancreas & Insulin Video
14. Excretory System
• Tears and sweat
– Remove tiny amounts of salts
• Respiration
– Eliminates CO2 from the body
• Digestive System
– Liver filters out toxins
– Colon removes solid waste,
including dead cell parts &
indigestible fiber
• Urinary System
– Kidneys remove excess salts,
water and filter out nitrogenous
wastes (urea)
15. Urinary System
• Organs of the Urinary Tract
– Blood flows into kidneys
• Nephrons clean blood
• Filtered blood flows back into
circulatory system
– Waste products (as urine) flow down
thin tubes called ureters
– Urine is stored in the bladder
– Wastes exits body via urethra
17. Kidneys Filter your Blood
Animation
Cortex
Medulla
Nephron
• Kidneys filter waste products
out of your blood:
– extra salt and sugar
– extra vitamins &
minerals (water-soluble)
– urea - left over from protein
broken down in the liver
• They also remove extra
water:
– prevents edema & dehydration
– regulates blood pressure
Nephrons are the filtering units of the kidney
There are 1,000,000 in each kidney!
18. Unfiltered blood
with absorbed
nutrients goes in
Filtered blood w/
cells & proteins
comes out
Waste products exit
through renal tubule
Bowman's capsule
collects filtrate

Editor's Notes
Supplies : saltine crackers, spoons for stirring, Iodine, clear plastic cups
Demonstrates physical and chemical digestion.
Procedure :
Take a saltine cracker and break it in half. Crumble half of the cracker and allow the crumbs to fall into one of the two glasses.
Add two tablespoons of water to the cracker crumbs and swirl the glass to mix the cracker crumbs with the water.
Take the other half of the cracker and chew it up really well. DO NOT SWALLOW . Just chew the cracker well.
Now spit the stuff in your mouth out into the other glass.
Add two tablespoons of water to the chewed-up mess and swirl the glass.
Note any differences you see in the two glasses.
Add equal amounts of iodine to both glasses. It doesn't need to be a lot - just a drop or two.
Swirl each glass.
Note any difference you see in the two glasses.
Clean everything up.
The first thing you should notice is the chewed up cracker was reduced to much smaller pieces than the cracker you crumbled. That's the first part of digestion: breaking up food into small pieces. We call that physical digestion, because it does not change the chemical nature of the food. It simply breaks food into smaller pieces. The second thing that you should notice is how differently the two “cracker solutions” acted in response to iodine. The unchewed half of the cracker should have produced a dark blue color. Depending on how well you chewed the other half of the cracker, it should have produced a much lighter blue. If you chewed the cracker really well, you might have seen no blue color at all in that glass. When iodine mixes with starch, it produces a deep blue color. The deep blue color you saw when you put the iodine in the glass with the unchewed cracker, then, tells you that saltine crackers have starch in them. Remember what starch is. It is a polysaccharide. When you put the iodine with the chewed cracker, the much lighter blue or absence of blue tells you that there was less starch in the chewed up cracker. Where did the starch go? Well, the saliva (some people call it “spit”) that your mouth produces contains chemicals which break starch down. Remember, our bodies must break polysaccharides (like starch) down into monosaccharides before they can be used. The saliva in your mouth starts this process by breaking starch down into disaccharides. This is the second component of digestion: chemical digestion. It is not enough to just break the food down into tiny pieces. Your body must also change the chemical nature of the food in order to extract what it can use.
Space Mountain Disneyland ride:
pyloric sphincter is like the end of the que line (only lets one or two people in, single-file)
duodenum: switchbacks of the line
Without the surface area of villi and microvilli, it would take weeks to absorb nutrients from food.
Lacteals collect triglycerides into the lymphatic system.
EXPERIMENT 13.2 - Stomach Acid and Antacids Supplies : white TUMS® antacid tablets and THE WORKS® Toilet bowl cleaner (with HCl, also called hydrogen chloride, colorless or clear, but NOT the “cling” type. Red/purple cabbage water, small glass (like a juice glass), cup & teaspoons (for measuring and stirring)
Procedure : Add one teaspoon of toilet bowl cleaner to the small glass. BE CAREFUL WHILE HANDLING THE TOILET BOWL CLEANER . If you get it on your hands, immediately rinse them with LOTS of water. The toilet bowl cleaner will burn skin. Pour one cup of cabbage water into the small glass. Use the spoon to stir the contents, so that the teaspoon of toilet bowl cleaner mixes with the cabbage water. The color of the contents should be pink or red. If not, the color of your toilet bowl cleaner is too strong and you need to try a different kind of toilet bowl cleaner. Add a white antacid tablet to the small glass. Note what happens when the tablet hits the cabbage water/toilet bowl cleaner mixture. After you have watched the tablet for a few moments, start stirring it. You want the tablet to completely disappear. This will take a little while. You can speed the process up by using the spoon to cut up and crush the tablet. Note the color change that begins to occur. Once the tablet is gone, note the color. If you do not see purple or blue, add another tablet and continue to stir. Your goal is to get the solution to be purple or blue. Once you get to the purple or blue color, add another teaspoon of toilet bowl cleaner. What happens? Clean everything up.
EXPERIMENT 13.3 - The Effect of Sodium Bicarbonate on Stomach Acid Supplies : Baking soda, Toilet bowl cleaner, cabbage water, small glass, cup & spoons for measuring and stirring.
Introduction - This experiment will show you what happens when the sodium bicarbonate from your pancreas is mixed with the stomach acid in the chyme that comes from the stomach. Procedure : Add one teaspoon of toilet bowl cleaner to the small glass. BE CAREFUL WHILE HANDLING THE TOILET BOWL CLEANER . If you get it on your hands, immediately rinse them with LOTS of water. The toilet bowl cleaner will burn skin. Pour one cup of cabbage water in the small glass. Use the spoon to stir the contents, so that the teaspoon of toilet bowl cleaner mixes with the cabbage water. The color of the contents should be pink or red. If not, the color of your toilet bowl cleaner is too strong and you need to try a different kind of toilet bowl cleaner. Take the other spoon and scoop some baking soda out of the box. SLOWLY add the sodium bicarbonate to the mixture in the glass. Note what happens. Continue to slowly add baking soda to the mixture in the glass until the color of the mixture changes from red/pink to blue/purple. Clean everything up.
EXPERIMENT 15.2 - A Model of Kidney Function Supplies : tea bag, three small glasses (like juice glasses), paper towel, coffee filter, funnel, scissors, boiling water, spoon for stirring, a pile of books (at least ¾ as high as one of the glasses.)
Procedure :
Boil 1 – 2 cups of water.
Place the contents one tea bag into a small glass.
Carefully pour some hot water into the glass with tea leaves. BE CAREFUL, THE WATER IS HOT!!!!!
Stir or let sit for a few minutes. Describe the resulting liquid (color, texture/thickness, particulates, etc.)
Pour the tea mixture through a coffee filter (placed in funnel) into another glass. Note the appearance of the filter and the resulting (filtered) liquid.
Set that glass with filtered tea on the top of a pile of books.
Fold a paper towel in half lengthwise. Fold it in half again until you have a long, thin paper towel.
Place one end into the filtered tea, touching the bottom of the glass.
Place the other end into a clean, empty glass that is below the level of the first glass. (You should have two glasses: one with tea in it sitting on the pile of books and one empty glass sitting on the table or counter next to the pile of books. The long, thin paper towel should have an end in both glasses, forming a “bridge” between the two.)
Note what you see happening.
After one hour, observe the empty glass and note what you see.
