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.

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. INTRODUCTION:
Civic and public safety facilities are community icons--buildings that
promise security and care through any crisis.
Fire hazards and occurrence of fire accidents cause danger to life and property.
So, it is planner’s role to locate fire stations in such a way that if fire hazard
occurs, fire brigade can reach easily& in effective time.
Fire safety of building means fire resistance of building in terms of hours
when subjected to fire of known intensity.
The Fire Service Week (FSW) is observed nation-wide under the
guidance of the Fire Adviser, Ministry of Home Affairs, Govt. of India during
April 14 – 20.
The Campaign provides a unique opportunity to enhance fire safety awareness
and mobilize action amongst employees, their families and the public.
4. OBJECTIVES OF FIRE SERVICES:
Fire prevention and reduction in number of fire outbreaks.
To prevent spread of fire , both internally and externally
Safe exit of all occupants, in the event of an outbreak of fire
FIRE PREVENTION:
Prevention is better than Cure”.
Fire Prevention is most important & its care shall be taken while
designing different Buildings & Cities to safeguard & protect the life
of people & Properties
The purpose of fire prevention is to lessen the important factors
which contribute to occurrence and spread of fire and thus
preventing physical, Occupational and mental hazard.
5. Causes of Fire
The reasons of fire may vary from building to building pertaining to
it’s use & user’s . Some common reasons can be observed as
- Carelessness- Careless discarding of lighted ends of cigarettes, cigars,
matches and tobacco.
- Smoking in unauthorized places.
- Incorrect storage of materials .
- Faulty workmanship and inattention to electrical installations .
- Inattention of persons concerned with inspection and patrol of the
premises under their jurisdiction
-Domestic Gas Leakage in residential areas & public places.
-Inattention of fire safety regulations
-Unapproved hazardous equipment and layout of the building.
In case of an outbreak of fire, the danger is from fire, smoke and panic.
6. Criteria for location of fire station:
Fire station design is a complicated process of blending residential,
commercial, and vehicular spaces into one building
Most prefered location is that it shall be easily accessible to all
industrial, business and ware houses and residential areas.
The international standards for location of fire stations:
- Fire tenders should reach the spot of fire in five minutes in urban and in
twelve minutes in rural areas.
- Should be located along the major road i.e. road having right of way
greater or equal to 30m.
- Should be within the radius of two to three kilometers.
The Statutory Fire Advisory Committee guidelines
- One Fire Station per four square miles area
- High value district shall not more than 1.5 km distance
- Response time less than 5 to 10 minutes in the peak time
- Major road with minimum 30 45m right of way‐
.
7. • 1 fire station or sub fire station within 1 to
3 km to be provided for 2 lakh population
• Area for fire station with essential
residential accommodation
• Area for sub- fire-station with essential
residential accommodation
1 ha
0.60 ha
Norms as per UDPFI Guidelines:
8. - The building site plan should
provide adequate driveway
widths, turning radii, and
parking space on firm, level
surface for fire apparatus.
- Avoid man-made and natural
barriers that could interfere with
movement of fire vehicles.
- Fire apparatus turning radii (R)
typically vary from 28 to 40 ft
and vehicle length (L) from 40
to 65 ft for ladder trucks and
from 20 to 40 ft for pampers
SITE PLAN
10. - It has dormitory living
facilities , work areas such as
meeting rooms, Conferences,
workshop, or laundry.
- Living areas are arranged
above the garage bays .
- It may have special means to
allow entry to the ground floor
quickly when a call for help is
received such as sliding down a
brass pole called a fire pole.
-Occupied station will have a
station alarm system for
receiving and annunciating
alarm, and indications of where
and what cause the alarm.
A fire station is a building for storage of firefighting apparatus (i.e. fire engines and related
vehicles), personal protective equipment, firehouse, fire extinguishers, and other firefighting
equipment..

Room furnished with several beds where firefighters rest at night or between fire-fighting
operations.
Fire Truck
Motor vehicle designed to transport fire-fighting personnel and materials and to supply water
to the fire hose nozzles.
13. WATER DEMAND
The average fire department uses only a fraction of one percent of
water pumped in a city.
Water required for fire fighting usually known as fire demand. It is
treated as a function of population and may be commuted from the B
formula.
1. KUIEHLING’S FORMULA
Q = 3182 * Sq.root of P Where, Q = quantity of water in iters
per minute
P = population in
thousands
2. BUSTON’S FORMULA
Q = 5663 * P
For a city of 1 lack population, the fore flow required by National
Board of Fire comes out to be 40,500 liters/minute.
14. Fire Extinguishing Equipment:
Portable fire
extinguishingManualFireExtinguishingEquipme
-These devices are used for extinguishing fire as soon- as it
starts.
-They are not so useful when once the fire has spread.
The discharge from a portable fire extinguisher lasts only for a
short duration of 20 to 120 seconds.
Fire sand bucket
- A fire sand bucket or fire bucket is a steel bucket
filled withstand which is used to put out fires.
-They are placed in prominent positions in rooms or
corridors. They are a low-technology method of
fighting small fires.
-The main advantages of fire buckets are that they are
cheap, reliable and easy to use.
15. Fire Hydrants
These are provided on a ring main of 150 mm dia. in the ground
around the building periphery. The ring main gets water from under
ground water tank with pressure, so that available pressure at each
hydrant is of the order of about 3.5 to 4 kg/cm. The fire hydrants are
placed at 300ft.c/c with easy access in case of emergency.
Automatic Sprinkler System
- This arrangement is adopted for Commercial & industrial
buildings.
-The system consists of a net work of 20 mm dia. Fixed to the
ceiling of the room spaced at 3 m center to center.
-Heat actuated sprinkler heads are fixed to these pipes. The pipes get
supply from a header. Each sprinkler head is provided with a fusible
plug.
-In the event of fire, the fusible plug in the sprinkler nearest to the
wire melts due to rise of temperature, and water gushes out of the
sprinkler head. The fire is thus brought under control in a short
period.
16. Wet Riser system
These system is adopted in high rise Buildings as wellas Public buildings
such as Cinemas,malls,Multiplexes etc. The system consist of providing 100
to 150 mm dia. vertical G.I.Pipes (Risers) at suitable locations in the
buildings. A fire pump is used to feed water from under ground fire fighting
water tank to these pipes, to ensure a pressure of 3 kg/cm2. at upper most
outlet.
The fire fighting tank of 75,000 litres to 1 lakh litres are provided.
18. Smoke Detectors
Smoke detector is a device that
detects smoke, typically as an
indicator of fire.
Commercial, industrial, and mass
residential devices issue a signal to
a fire alarm system, while household
detectors, known as smoke alarms,
generally issue a local audible and/or
visual alarm from the detector itself.
19. Fire And Emergency Services As Per Govt. Of India
