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.
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.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

3. NAME OF THE DISEASE :
Downy mildew of cucurbits.
CASUAL ORGANISM :
Pseudoperonospora cubensis
(Berkeley & Curtis) Rostovtsev.
4. HISTORY:
Pseudoperonospora cubensis (Berkeley & Curtis)
Rostovtsev is the causal agent of downy mildew of
plants in the Cucurbitaceous (gourd family),
including cucumbers, melons, squashes, gourds and
watermelons.
Berkeley and Curtis first reported the disease in
Cuba in 1868.
5. DISTRIBUTION:
Downy mildew of cucurbits can be found in temperate
areas, such as the Americas, Europe, Japan, Australia
and South Africa, tropical regions and some semi-arid
regions, such as the Middle East.
The disease affects cucurbit crops in the field and those
grown in passive or traditional greenhouses.
6. HOSTS:
Members of Cucurbitaceae, the gourd family,
including,
1.Cucumber (Cucumis sativus),
2.Squash (Cucurbita spp.),
3.Melon (Cucumis melo) and
4.Watermelon (Citrullus lanatus).
7. SIGNIFICANCE:
In 1991, 21% of expenses for chemical disease control
were allocated to the downy mildew and late blight
pathogens, 30% of this was devoted to vegetable crops.
The largest percentage of downy mildew control was for
grape downy mildew caused by Plasmopara viticola
(54%) followed by the cucurbit downy mildew caused
by Pseudoperonospora cubensis (10%).
8. • These values fluctuate based on weather conditions,
acreage and market conditions.
• Downy mildew is an annual late-season problem for
squash and pumpkin growers in the eastern United
States.
• Successful breeding of resistant cucumber cultivars in
the mid-20th century provided adequate control of
downy mildew without the use of fungicides.
9. • The presence of a more virulent strain of the
pathogen on cucumber appeared in the eastern
United States in 2004 and has resulted in major
economic losses.
• The disease is a major concern for cucumber
growers throughout the eastern half of the United
States resulting in substantial economic losses.
10. SIGNS:
The key to identifying downy mildew is observing
the signs (sporangia and sporangiophores) of the
pathogen.
Sporangia and sporangiophores are most
noticeable during humid conditions (e.g., early
morning hours before natural humidity dissipates
or immediately following rainfall) on the
underside of the leaf.
11. SYMPTOMS:
Symptoms on cucumber and squash are angular
lesions that are limited by the leaf veins.
During periods of leaf wetness from dew,
irrigation or rainfall, incipient lesions can become
conspicuously water-soaked.
This is the earliest symptom produced by the
disease, but will disappear as moisture dissipates.
12. • Severe infection results in leaves that are completely
dead and curled up.
• This symptom has been described as “wildfire” as the
leaves appear to be burned.
• Symptoms on watermelon and cantaloupe are typically
irregular shaped lesions on the foliage that turn brown
rapidly.
13. Symptoms on watermelon and cantaloupe are not as
distinctive as on cucumber and squash and are more
easily mistaken for other diseases such as
• Anthracnose (causal agent: Colletotrichum orbiculare),
• Target spot (causal agent: Corynespora cassiicola),
• Alternaria leaf spot (causal agent: Alternaria alternata f.
sp. cucurbitae),
• Gummy stem blight (causal agent: Didymella bryoniae).
14. Early lesions are light green in appearance and
become chlorotic and finally necrotic as host plant
cells die.
Infected leaves may experience an upward leaf curl.
15. SYSTEMIC POSITION:
Kingdom : Fungi
Phylum : Heterokonta
Class : Oomycetes
Order : Peronosporales
Family : Peronosporaceae
Genus : Pseudoperonospora
Species : Pseudoperonospora cubensis
16. PATHOGEN BIOLOGY:
1. Like other downy mildew organisms, P. cubensis,
is a biotroph or obligate parasite, meaning that the
organism requires living host tissue to grow.
2. The organism cannot be propagated on artificial
media. P. cubensis overwinters on infected
cucurbits, either wild or propagated, in areas that
do not experience a hard frost.
17. SPORANGIA AND SPORANGIOPHORES:
Pseudoperonospora cubensis forms large (20-40 x 14-
25 mm in diameter), lemon-shaped sporangia with a
conspicuous papilla.
Sporangia appear smooth under the compound
microscope but with the scanning electron microscope
the finely decorated surface of the sporangium is
evident .
19. • The sporulating capacity of purely necrotic lesions
is low and that of yellow-necrotic lesions.
• Warming and drying of the atmosphere, typical of
early morning hours, causes twisting of the
sporangiophores, which may be of importance for
the detachment of sporangia.
20. MANAGEMENT:
CULTURAL PRACTICES.
Downy mildew severity can be decreased by taking
actions that encourage airflow and reduce leaf
wetness.
However, such actions are often insufficient during
prolonged, favorable environmental conditions and in
the presence of high inoculum levels.
Growing cucurbits in environments where humidity
levels can be manipulated can help to manage downy
mildew.
21. CHEMICAL PRACTICES
Efficacious fungicides include fluopicolide,
famoxadone + cymoxanil, cyazofamid, zoxamide and
propamocarb hydrochloride.
Pseudoperonospora cubensis is known to develop
resistance to fungicides very rapidly.
22. Reduced efficacy of mefenoxam, metalaxyl and the
strobilurin fungicides has been reported.
As a result, the fungicides listed previously should be
applied under strict resistance management strategies
that include tank-mixing with protectant fungicides,
such as chlorothalonil or mancozeb, and rotating with
fungicides of different modes of action.
