Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.
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.

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.
1. Evaluation Question 2
How does your media
product represent
particular social
groups?
Nathaniel Henri-Williams
2. What is a social group
A social group is where a certain group of people share
the same or similar interests and have a similar lifestyle.
It’s important that I know what type of social groups would
be interested reading and buying my magazine. I need to
be aware of who the magazine is going to attract, so that
the cover contents, DPS and other conventions such as
the feature article and coverlines/stories are appealing.
Since these social groups make up part of my intended
target audience.
3. My target audience/social group
I will be targeting a niche audience that will include both males and
females but mainly males in the age bracket of 18-35. The reason for
targeting mainly males is that the Hip-Hop industry is an industry that is
heavily dominated by male artists.
The reason for targeting this specific niche age group is that after
conducting research into similar magazines such as Fader and Vibe I
have found that they target similar age groups in particular Fader
Magazine who is very modern stylish magazine, with their first official
publication in 2000. Fader is one of the leading magazines for
emerging music in general not just Hip-Hop and is highly popular at the
moment.
My target audience will also target people who are part of the working
population that range from low to upper/middle class as Hip-Hop as a
genre relates to many people of many different ethnicities, religions and
backgrounds.
5. Class
The social class that my magazine represent is people who are part of
the working population that range from low to upper/middle class.
I feel that my magazine shows this & represents these social classes
through the artist featured “Lil Lim”. Who tell us of his journey from
poverty to fame.
In his feature article the artist talks about his childhood and how he grew
up as an illegal immigrant in Korea Town LA after emigrating from
Panama, the place of his birth with his younger sister an mother to join
their father in the US.
I feel that my artist’s story can relate these social classes and to a lot of
people who left their homes in foreign countries to migrate to places like
the US and the UK to better their lives and follow their dreams.
These people often started out poor and worked hard to be able to
provide for themselves and their families, this links to and represents all
social classes but especially the lower/ working class who started off low
in the class system and made their way up through hard work.
This is why my magazine’s target audience class wise is large ranging
from low to upper/middle class.
This is also because Hip-Hop as a genre relates to many people of
many different ethnicities, religions and backgrounds.
6. Race
Though Hip Hop is a predominantly black genre of music
with a high majority of its fans and listeners being black
(mostly African American). The genre tends not to be
specific to one race of people and is largely open for
enjoyment by all regardless, of race, ethnicity and
background.
Although the core race that my magazine represents as a
social group would be the black or Latino(Hispanic)
cultures/races that hip-hop originated from.
However it can not be said that hip-hop culture only
represents these races as hip-hop is much more than a
bunch of stereotypes of certain cultures it represents all
cultures as its such a diverse genre of music.
7. Gender
The social group that my magazine represents gender
wise is males. This conforms to hip-hop magazine
conventions as the majority of hip-hop magazines target
audiences are males ageing from (18 to around 35).
This is why its common to see more male artists on the
cover of hip-hop magazines than females.
Also although my target audience includes both males
and females, I feel that the social group it represents the
most would be males as firstly my cover artist is male,
secondly hip-hop is a male dominated genre from the
roots all the way to the top with the majority of artists and
people in the industry with important roles such as label
owners and music directors, being male.
8. Sexuality
In terms of sexuality my magazine would
best represent heterosexual males and
females as my target audience includes
both males and females ageing from 18 to
35. Furthermore in the industry it is
uncommon to hear about artists being
homosexual and being homosexual is very
controversial in the hip-hop/rap industry and
culture.
