Estimation of Fetal Size and Weight using Various Formulasijtsrd
Birth weight is an important factor in delivery management. Antenatal ultrasound has turned out to be one of the clinicians most vital devices for surveying fetal age, growth and prosperity. Contrasted Physical examination of the pregnant uterus is the most precise strategy for evaluating fetal size and growth along with the utilization of ultrasound imaging and estimating of the different fetal parameters. Objective To evaluates the antenatal assessments of fetal weight in pregnancies by using Johnsons formula, Hadlocks formula and Ultrasonography. Comparison of these different methods with the actual birth weight of these babies after delivered. Material and methods Two hundred singleton term pregnancies within 48 hours were randomly selected to participate in this prospective cohort study. Variables included such as abdominal circumference, Biparietal diameter, and Femur length. Parameters to obtain estimated fetal weight Results The mean birth weight of Hadlock formula is closest to the mean of actual birth weight. In the study population, more primigravida delivered babies with very low birth weight and more multigravida delivered babies of birth weight 3500 gms. Johnsons and ultrasound Hadlocks formula had a marked tendency to overestimate the fetal weight. Error was within 350 Gms in 84.7 , 70.8 and 84 of cases by Dares, Johnsons and ultrasound Hadlocks formula.

Sickle cell anemia is an autosome linked recessive trait that can be transmitted from parents to the offspring when
both the partners are carrier for the gene (or heterozygous). The disease is controlled by a single pair of allele, HbA
and HbS. Out of the three possible genotypes only homozygous individuals for HbS (HbS, HbS) show the diseased phenotype. The ability to predict the clinical course of SCD during pregnancy is difficult. It is mandatory to follow up the patient closely from the very beginning i.e. from preconception to antenatal till labor. SCD is associated with both maternal and fetal complications and is associated with an increased incidence of perinatal mortality, premature
labor, fetal growth restriction and acute painful crises during pregnancy.

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. MOTIVATIONAL AND THOUGHT PROVOKING
STORIES
Story 1
In those old days, when monarchy used to be there, a king was gifted by
his teacher; 4 idols who resembled great minds. He appointed a man who
was told that he will be sentenced when any of the idols is broken. That
man worked very carefully but 1 day 1 idol was broken to pieces.
The king came to know about this and he ordered that man to be
sentenced. That man was asked of his last wish; he took other 3 idols and
broke them. The king saw it and said – why you done that? The man
replied – some day, you will appoint another man to take care of other 3
idols. Sooner or later 1 or 2 idols would be broken. That man would die
then – so, I am saving that anonymous life in this manner.
The king instantly made him his chief minister.
Moral: You may rescue life of someone even indirectly which would
please GOD. No one can go against what is predecided. We can only
change our interpretations.
2. Story 2
One day, Mughal emperor Akbar was told that if he sees the face of a
particular sick person, he would not get food for entire day. Akbar called
that man and he found this statement to be true. He was surprised and
frustrated at the same time.
He ordered that man to be sentenced. The genius Birbal pointed that –
Your majesty, I know that you remained hungry on seeing him. But, he
saw you for the 1st time and is now sentenced. He may lose his life; you
only lost food. It seems you are sicker than him.
This moved Akbar and he released that man.
Moral: Beware of your misleading judgments.
3. Story 3
Once, a man approached sage Chanakya and said – I have something to
say about your friend. Your friend is …
Chanakya interrupted – Answer my 3 questions before that.
Q1: Is whatever you are saying completely true?
The man: No, I heard it somewhere from somebody's mouth.
Q2: OK. Is it good for me or him?
The man: No, it is nothing good about anybody. I had heard only bad
things.
Q3: OK. Is it urgent or important?
The man: No, it isn't.
Chanakya replied – neither it is true nor good nor even urgent or
important. Why do you think should I listen? The man went away
disgusted.
Moral: It is in the story itself. Read the story once again.
4. Story 4
Once upon a time, a man was searching for the genius Birbal. He had
never seen Birbal. So, he was worrying – how to meet? Someone told him
the address of Birbal and he went there searching for Birbal.
Accidently, he met Birbal himself on the roadway, but was unaware of
this. He asked Birbal – Can you tell me where Birbal lives? Birbal pointed
to his house and said – he lives there. The man went there but was stunned
to see the lock at the door. He was thinking – where could Birbal be?
Suddenly, he saw Birbal himself there. He asked – Can you tell me where
the genius Birbal is? Birbal replied – I am Birbal. I do not know who the
genius is? The man replied – I met you before, why did not you told me
that you are Birbal? Birbal said – You asked about Birbal's house but did
not ask where he is. I replied where his house is. Later on, Birbal took him
inside and removed his worries.
Moral: Be clear and concise in what you demand. Try to speak
specific things.
5. Story 5
Once upon a time, a man named as Kalidas was cutting a tree. It was found
that he was cutting the same branch on which he was sitting. Several
passersby noticed this and said – hey, you do not do this. You may fall
down. Kalidas laughed at that idea. But he realized that they were true
when he actually fell down.
He met that passerby and said – you are my teacher as you are astrologer.
Please preach me about my future and tell me about my new action. The
passerby understood that he is a complete fool. However, he took him with
him and said – do one thing. Go to the king's palace where Vidyutparhe is
the princess. Answer her question without speaking anything. Then you
would marry her.
The man who actually wanted to teach Vidutparhe a lesson, accompanied
Kalidas to the palace. There he said – I know that you will marry only him
who actually will answer your questions. He is that man but he won't
speak today and tomorrow he will leave this place. So, he wants to marry
you. You can test him.
Vidyutparhe thought whether GOD is one or more, so just showed a
finger. Kalidas thought – she will pluck my an eye and hence he showed 2
fingers. The man replied – GOD is one but can be formless or having
forms hence 2 types.
Vidyutparhe thought whether 5 elements (Air, Water, Earth, Space and
Fire) can be independent, so she showed a hand. Kalidas thought that she
will slap me and hence showed his fist. The man replied – 5 elements can
be independent only if they join to form a living being just like 5 fingers
join to form a fist.
Vidyutparhe accepted her defeat and married to Kalidas on the same day.
Later on, she realized that Kalidas is a fool and hence banished him.
However, GOD graced him to be the most genius poet ever.
Moral: At times, even fools can help in achieving your goals.
6. Story 6
Once GOD of Actions and Fortune were fighting that who can be superior.
They both approached GOD of supreme powers that who among them is
superior. Power GOD replied – you 1st show your powers. There is a man
on earth, show him who is more powerful. Let Actions help him in getting
money and let Fortune take it away.
Action gave him powers to earn more but at the same time, Fortune made
him powerless and turned into a thief to steal all of his money. The man
wept badly. Actions said – don't worry you will earn more. He put money
in front of that man but Fortune made it disappear.
GOD saw this and said – Good, now you do the reverse. Let Action betray
that man and fortune help him. Fortune instantly made thousand gold coins
arrive there. As soon as the man went to take it, Actions made him forget
how to take it. He accepted that and kept crying. Fortune immediately
lifted that money and put it on his head. Actions made it fall away.
GOD saw this and said – you both are equally powerful but are mutually
dependent.
Moral: Believe in neither actions nor fortune but in both as one is
followed by the other.
7. Story 7
One day, a king saw in his dream – out of 32 of his teeth, only 1 remained
and rest had fallen down. He called his astrologer and asked – what does
this dream mean?
Astrologer said – it means that 31 of your relatives will die before you
would. The king was furious and ordered astrologer to be kept in prison.
Then he asked his minister of the same thing.
The minister said – it means that you would live more than 31 of your
relatives. The king was happy and said – demand a reward. The minister
said – please release your astrologer. Whatever he said is same as what I
commented. The king was shocked but he gave the desired reward.
Moral: Things always remain the same, how you perceive makes the
difference.
8. Story 8
One day, Mughal emperor Akbar accidently cut one of his fingers. The
genius Birbal said – whatever happens is for our welfare. Akbar
imprisoned Birbal. Birbal said – even this is for my welfare.
Akbar was astonished. Akbar went on to hunting the next day.
Unfortunately, he was left alone by some hypocrites who wanted him to
perish. Suddenly, 2 men belonging to nomadic tribes arrived there and said
– let's sacrifice him. Suddenly, one of them noticed Akbar's gone finger
which made him say – he is physically challenged. We can't sacrifice him
as the Lord would kill us. Akbar was freed and he somehow joined his
camp.
Akbar freed Birbal and said – You were right. My gone finger saved from
such a terrific disaster. Birbal replied – If I were with you, I would have
been caught along with you. To save me, lord actually made me
imprisoned. This proved that whatever happens is for our welfare.
Moral: Try your best to be an optimist.
9. Story 9
Once upon a time, when Mewad was ruled by Maharana Pratap, mughal
emperor Akbar decided to snatch the kingdom from him. He told
Maharana Pratap to fight and easily defeated him. Maharana was made a
begger in his own territory. He wasn't able to cope up. His family was
worrying.
He had 2 sons and they both were fighting for same bread. Seeing this
condition, Maharana wanted to make Akbar his friend. One of his
companion said – Take your Chetak horse and fight with Akbar. Maharana
refused as he did not had any substantial army soldiers. But that friend told
him to make allies with tribes there. Maharana succeeded in that and
managed to defeat Akbar there after following long strategy. Alas! his
beloved horse Chetak died there.
Moral: Must learn to convert failures to successes.
10. Story 10
When a boy was sad, his grandfather took him to the fish pond on the farm
when he was about seven, and he told him to throw a stone into the water.
He also told to watch the circles created by the stone. Then he asked to
think of himself as that stone person.
"You may create lots of splashes in your life but the waves that come from
those splashes will disturb the peace of all your fellow creatures," he said.
"Remember that you are responsible for what you put in your circle and
that circle will also touch many other circles. You will need to live in a
way that allows the good that comes from your circle to send the peace of
that goodness to others. The splash that comes from anger or jealousy will
send those feelings to other circles. You are responsible for both."
That was the first time the boy realized each person creates the inner peace
or discord that flows out into the world.
Moral: We cannot create world peace if we are riddled with inner
conflict, hatred, doubt, or anger. We radiate the feelings and thoughts
that we hold inside, whether we speak them or not. Whatever is
splashing around inside of us is spilling out into the world, creating
beauty or discord with all other circles of life.
11. Story 11
Once, a boy named as Mohan was fed up of life. He decided to quit.
He went to the woods to have one last talk with GOD. "GOD," he said.
"Can you give me one good reason not to quit?"
GOD's answer surprised him... "Look around," GOD said. "Do you see the
fern and the bamboo?" "Yes," Mohan replied.
"When I planted the fern and the bamboo seeds, I took a very good care of
them. I gave them light. I gave them water.
The fern quickly grew from the earth. Its brilliant green covered the floor.
Yet nothing came from the bamboo seed. But I did not quit on the
bamboo. In the second year, the fern grew more vibrant and plentiful. And
again, nothing came from the bamboo seed. But I did not quit on the
bamboo," GOD said.
"In the third year, there was still nothing from the bamboo seed. But I
would not quit. In the fourth year, again, there was nothing from the
bamboo seed. I would not quit," GOD said
"Then in the fifth year a tiny sprout emerged from the earth. Compared to
the fern it was seemingly small and insignificant... But just 6 months later
the bamboo rose to over 100 feet tall.
It had spent the five years growing roots.
Those roots made it strong and gave it what it needed to survive. I would
not give any of my creations a challenge it could not handle.
Did you know, my child, that all this time you have been struggling, you
have actually been growing roots?"
"I would not quit on the bamboo. Neither will I ever quit on you."
Moral: Never compare yourself with others as that is illegal.
12. Story 12
Many hundreds of years ago in a small Italian town, a merchant had the
misfortune of owing a large sum of money to the moneylender. The
moneylender, who was old and ugly, fancied the merchant's beautiful
daughter so he proposed a bargain. He said he would forgo the merchant's
debt if he could marry the daughter.
The moneylender told them that he would put a black pebble and a white
pebble into an empty bag. The girl would then have to pick one pebble
from the bag. If she picked the black pebble, she would become the
moneylender's wife and her father's debt would be forgiven. If she picked
the white pebble, she need not marry him and her father's debt would still
be forgiven. But if she refused to pick a pebble, her father would be
thrown into jail.
They were standing on a pebble-strewn path in the merchant's garden. As
they talked, the moneylender bent over to pick up two pebbles. As he
picked them up, the sharp-eyed girl noticed that he had picked up two
black pebbles and put them into the bag. He then asked the girl to pick her
pebble from the bag.
The girl put her hand into the moneybag and drew out a pebble. Without
looking at it, she fumbled and let it fall onto the pebble-strewn path where
it immediately became lost among all the other pebbles.
"Oh, how clumsy of me," she said. "But never mind, if you look into the
bag for the one that is left, you will be able to tell which pebble I picked."
Since the remaining pebble is black, it must be assumed that she had
picked the white one.
Moral: There is always a solution to even the impossible.
Unfortunately, we never think of that.
13. Story 13
When king Krishnadev Rai used to rule South India. One day, he gave
each of his courtiers a bag containing fifty gold coins. The courtiers were
thrilled. Just then the king said, "You have to use these gold coins within
one week. At the end of the week, you will show me all that you have
bought with these gold coins. But there is a condition. Every time you
spend some gold coins, you will have to see my face."
All the courtiers were very pleased. They left for the market to do some
shopping. But whenever they decided to buy something, they remembered
the king's condition. How could they see the king's face in the market?
And if they did not see the king's face, they could not spend the gold coins.
The courtiers were puzzled.
When the court assembled after a week, the king asked the courtiers,
"Well, what did you buy with the gold coins that I had given you?" The
royal priest arose from his seat. On behalf of all the courtiers, he said, "
Since none of us could see your face in the market, not a single gold coin
could be spent."
Hearing this, the king began to laugh. He then asked Tenalirama, "Did you
buy anything?" That day, Tenalirama had come to the court wearing new
clothes and ornaments. He said, "I bought all these things with the gold
coins given by you." All the courtiers were pleased to hear this. The king
said, "Tenalirama! You have not fulfilled the condition laid down by me.
You did not see my face in the market. Yet you dared to buy these things!"
Tenalirama said, "Your Majesty, I have spent every single gold coin only
after I saw your face."
The king was surprised. He said, "How is that possible?" Tenalirama said,
"Your Majesty, Have you forgotten that every gold coin bears the imprint
of your face ?"
Moral: Unfortunately, we do simple things in complicated manner.
14. Story 14
One day, The king Krishnadev Rai wanted all his people to grow horses .
He called all his people and gave them one horse each to bring up. He also
gave them lot of straw so that the horses can eat. All people were happy
except Tenalirama. He tied his horse in a room and daily in the
morning gave it very little straw. The rest of the straw he gave to his
cows.
After one more year, the king wanted to see all his horses. All of them
brought their horses. They were indeed very strong. But King noticed that
Tenalirama had not brought his horse. He asked him why he has not
brought his horse. Tenalirama replied that his horse was very strong and he
could not bring it. The king was surprised. He said, "I will send my guard
to your house tomorrow."
Next day the guard went to TenaliRama’s house. He had a beard, which
was very long. TenaliRama took him to the room where the house was
kept locked. He asked him to see through the window. The inspector
peeped in through the narrow window and his beard entered the room first.
The horse thought that it was straw. It caught the beard of the guard and
started pulling. The inspector was crying in pain. The Guard lost his beard
and ran to the king.
He told the king that Tenaliraman's horse was very strong. King gave
Tenali Raman 100 gold coins.
Moral: When you can't get the answer seriously, try not being serious.
15. Story 15
One day a farmer's donkey fell down into a well. The animal cried
piteously for hours as the farmer tried to figure out what to do. Finally he
decided the animal was old, and the well needed to be covered up anyway,
it just wasn't worth it to retrieve the donkey. He invited all his neighbours
to come over and help him. They each grabbed a shovel and began to
shovel dirt into the well. At first, the donkey realized what was happening
and cried horribly. Then, to everyone's amazement, he quieted down. A
few shovel loads later, the farmer looked down the well, and was
astonished at what he saw.
As every shovel of dirt hit his back, the donkey did something amazing.
He would shake it off and take a step up. As the farmer's neighbors
continued to shovel dirt on top of the animal, he would shake it off and
take a step up. Pretty soon, everyone was amazed, as the donkey stepped
up over the edge of the well and trotted off! The donkey was wise
Moral: Life is going to shovel dirt on you, all kinds of dirt. The trick to
getting out of a hole is to shake it off and take a step up. Each of our
troubles is a stepping stone. We can get out of the deepest holes just by
not stopping, never giving up!
16. Story 16
One day, 3 boys went to an astrologer and said, "Tell us our future. But
donot look at our forehead nor palmistry or kundli milap to be needed."
The astrologer said, "Fine. Just take 1 banana and eat it." He gave an
banana to each.
One of them threw the peel on the ground. The astrologer said, "He will be
a fool."
Second threw it in dustbin. The astrologer said, "He will be intelligent."
Third gave it to a cow. The astrologer said, "He would be helping and
benevolent by nature."
Moral: What you are depends on how you tackle things.
17. Story 17
One day, king Amartya Singh called 2 of his sons and gave them 2 horses
i.e., 1 horses each. Then he told them to race. The son with slowest horse
wins. Both the sons were wondering as this would result in infinitely long
race.
They approached the minister during king's absence and told about this.
The minister said, "Oh its simple. You just exchange the horses and then
be the fastest so that your horse becomes the slowest."
Both the sons agreed and commenced the race as told.
Moral: Half of the solution is hidden in problem itself. Our job is to
find the other half.
