Drug addiction is a chronic disease characterized by drug seeking and use that is compulsive, or difficult to control, despite harmful consequences.
Brain changes that occur over time with drug use challenge an addicted person’s self-control and interfere with their ability to resist intense urges to take drugs. This is why drug addiction is also a relapsing disease.
Relapse is the return to drug use after an attempt to stop. Relapse indicates the need for more or different treatment.
Most drugs affect the brain's reward circuit by flooding it with the chemical messenger dopamine. This overstimulation of the reward circuit causes the intensely pleasurable "high" that leads people to take a drug again and again.
Addiction is the disease of the brain. it is believed that it can't be cured and it only depart taking life of the addicted. But addicts can recover no one is hopeless.

Drug abuse represents a complex and multifaceted issue prevalent across societies globally. It involves the misuse of legal or illegal substances that alter the functioning of the brain, leading to detrimental effects on an individual's physical health, mental well-being, and social relationships. From the casual misuse of substances to the severe grip of addiction, drug abuse encompasses a wide spectrum of behaviors and consequences that profoundly impact individuals and communities.
Types and Categories of Drugs:
Drug abuse spans a broad array of substances, including but not limited to alcohol, cannabis, opioids, stimulants, hallucinogens, and prescription medications. Each category of drugs affects the brain and body in distinct ways, contributing to varying levels of dependence and health risks. Alcohol, for instance, is legal in many societies but is also one of the most commonly abused substances, leading to addiction and a myriad of health problems when consumed excessively. On the other hand, opioids like heroin or prescription painkillers can quickly lead to physical dependence and overdose fatalities.
Causes and Risk Factors:
The reasons behind drug abuse are multifaceted and can involve a combination of genetic, environmental, and psychological factors. Genetic predispositions, family history of substance abuse, trauma, stress, peer pressure, mental health disorders, and socioeconomic factors can all contribute to an individual's susceptibility to drug abuse. Additionally, availability and societal attitudes toward drugs play a significant role in influencing patterns of abuse.
Effects of Drug Abuse:
The effects of drug abuse extend far beyond the individual consuming the substance. Physically, drug abuse can lead to a range of health issues, including cardiovascular problems, liver damage, respiratory complications, infectious diseases from needle sharing, and neurological impairments. Mentally, drug abuse can exacerbate or trigger mental health disorders such as depression, anxiety, psychosis, and cognitive impairments. Socially and behaviorally, it can strain relationships, cause legal issues, financial strain, and impair an individual's ability to function at work or in academic settings.
Impact on Society:
Drug abuse poses significant challenges at a societal level. It contributes to crime rates, strains healthcare systems, leads to lost productivity, and imposes substantial economic burdens. Moreover, the societal stigma associated with drug abuse often hinders individuals from seeking help, exacerbating the problem further.
Prevention and Treatment:
Preventing drug abuse involves a multifaceted approach, including education, early intervention, addressing risk factors, and promoting healthy coping mechanisms. Treatment strategies vary and often include behavioral therapies, counseling, support groups, and, in some cases, medication-assisted therapies. The goal of treatment is not only to help individuals overcome their dep
A drug is any chemical that produces a therapeutic or non-therapeutic effect in the body. Many prescription drugs that produce therapeutic effects may also cause non-therapeutic effects if taken in excess and/or without a specific prescription.

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.

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.

7. DRUG ABUSE
Is the recurrent use of illegal drugs, or the misuse of prescription or over-
the-counter drugs with negative consequences.
Excessive, maladaptive, or addictive use of drugs for nonmedical purposes
despite social, psychological, and physical problems that may arise from such
use.
Compulsive, excessive, and self-damaging use of habit forming drugs or
substances, leading to addiction or dependence, serious physiological injury
(such as damage to kidneys, liver, heart) and/or psychological harm (such as
dysfunctional behavior patterns, hallucinations, memory loss), or death. Also
called substance abuse.
9. ADDICTION
Defined as the physiological dependence that an
individual develops after heavy use of a particular drug
Intense craving for a drug that develops after a period of
physical dependence stemming from heavy use
10. 2 Essential Characteristics of an
Addictive Drug
1. Tolerance – another name for immunity to
the effects of a drug that builds up after heavy
use.
2. Withdrawal discomfort – is the sickness that
a habitual user experiences when the drug is
not taken regularly.
12. ALCOHOL
Most serious drug problem
Harmless when used in moderation but is one of the
most dangerous drugs when used to excess
Depresses the central nervous system and thereby
interferes with coordination, reaction time, and
reasoning ability
13. ALCOHOLIC
Is a person whose drinking problem disrupts his
or her life, interfering with the ability to hold a
job, accomplish household tasks, or participate
in family and social affairs.
14. Most studies indicate that
More MEN drink (75 to 90 %) than WOMEN (55 to 65 %)
Increasing more rapidly among WOMEN
Catholics are more likely than Protestants to be drinkers
Greatest among the college educated and those with high
prestige occupations
ALCOHOLISM – those with LESS education and LOWER
incomes
16. Most studies indicate that
More MEN smoke than WOMEN
The rate has been increasing more rapidly for WOMEN
and TEENAGED GIRLS
About ¾ of all MALE smokers and 2/3 of all FEMALE
smokers use more than 15 cigarettes a day
17. TOBACCO
NICOTINE – principal drug
Withdrawal Symptoms – drowsiness, nervousness,
anxiety, headaches, and loss of energy
MORE than TWO packs a day reduces normal life
expectancy by EIGHT years and that LIGHT smoking (half
pack or less) reduces by FOUR years
19. MARIJUANA
Most widely used illegal drug, and its users no longer accept their legal
status passively
Based on 6 full-scale investigators under government sponsorship,
marijuana is relatively harmless and does not pose a serious threat to society
Effects:
1. slight increase in heart rate
2. dryness in the mouth
3. reddening of the eyes
20. MARIJUANA
Health problems: from liver damage to birth defects and
decreased production of male sex hormones
Use declines rapidly in older age group
More common among MEN than WOMEN
More common among STUDENTS than NONSTUDENTS
22. OPIATES
Physiological effects:
Reduced rates of metabolism and Respiration
Psychological effects:
Induce a state of tranquility, peace, or euphoria
Withdrawal distress:
Resembles a bad case of the flu accompanied by a feeling of
severe depression
24. PSYCHEDELICS
Produce hallucinations and perceptual distortions
Dangers:
• So-called “bad trip” – a terrifying experience that throws
the user into a paranoic state
• Suffered prolonged psychotic episodes
• “flashback” or recurrence of the psychedelic state
26. SEDATIVE HYPNOTICS
Such as Barbiturates and Tranquilizers. Depress the central
nervous system
Moderate doses: slow down breathing and normal reflexes,
interfere with coordination, relieve anxiety and tension
Larger doses: produce drowsiness and sleep
Methaqualone – “Love Drug” - a sexual stimulant
PSP or “Angel Dust” produces a sleepy, dreamlike state. It also
produces hallucinations. It has been used as a Surgical Anesthetic.
28. STIMULANT
Stimulate the central nervous system
Examples are caffeine, amphetamines and cocaine
Increase alertness, improve mental performance,
and reduce drowsiness
31. 1. Biological Theories
◦ Physiological changes produced by
the drugs eventually generate a
craving that is so strong that the
individual is powerless to resist.
32. 2. Behavioral Theory
o Behaviorists conclude that drug use is learned
through a process of conditioning. That is, use
of a drug often provides a reward (positive
reinforcement). When experimental animals
and humans use a drug and find it rewarding,
they are stimulated to use it again.
33. 3. Personality Theories
o These people have inadequate or immature
personalities. Drug addicts have thus been classified as
narcissists, psychopaths, sociopaths, dependent
personalities, immature, schizophrenic, neurotic, and
character disorders.
o Ausubel gave this description of the “inadequate
personality”, is likely to turn to drugs in order to escape
responsibilities.
34. 4. Interactionist Theory
o Drug use is determined by individual’s
attitudes toward drugs, the meaning drug has
for them, their overall world view, and their
system of values – all of which are learned from
interaction with people in a certain culture or
subculture.
37. 1. The over-the-counter market
The most popular means of distributing
psychoactive drugs. Alcohol, nicotine, and
caffeine are distributed in this way. A number of
nonprescription medicines are sold over the
counter as well.
38. 2. The Prescription Market
A wide variety of drugs are legally available only with
a doctor’s prescription. The minor tranquilizers are
prescribed most often.
About 75% prescribed by doctors are used to
produce sedation, tranquility, and sleep and about
25% are prescribed to increase energy or treat
depression.
39. 3. The Black Market
Many of the drugs prescribed by doctors are
also available on the black market. Holders of
legitimate prescription for such drugs
sometimes give or sell them to other users.
41. 1. Legal Repression
The most common response to drug use has
been to make it a crime, usually prohibiting the
manufacture and sale of specific drugs and
punishing users.
Fear of the law clearly has discouraged many
people from using drugs.
42. 2. Treatment
The treatment approach, like the punitive
approach, tries to discourage drug use. The
difference is that punitive approach attempts to
discourage users by cutting of their supplies or
sending them to jail while the treatment
approach encourages voluntary abstinence.
43. 3. Increased Social Tolerance
This approach includes a variety of different
solutions, ranging from relatively minor
reductions in penalties for some types of drug
offenses to full legalization of all drugs.
44. 4. Legalization
Proponents of legalization believe that attempts at legal
repression of drug use have been so disastrous that the
problem can be solved only by taking the government out of
the drug law enforcement business.
Thomas Szasz, feels that the decision to use a drug is
entirely an individual matter in which the government has
no legitimate concern.
45. 5. Decriminalization
It is a step halfway between prohibition and full
legalization. Its advocate argue that the penalties for
possession and use of a given drug, should be
dropped but that sales of the drug should continue to
the illegal.
The aim is to stop punishing those who use illicit
drugs but to discourage such use by forbidding sales.
