Smoking can cause lung disease by damaging your airways and the small air sacs (alveoli) found in your lungs. Lung diseases caused by smoking include COPD, which includes emphysema and chronic bronchitis. Cigarette smoking causes most cases of lung cancer.

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.

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.

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.

Editor's Notes
This presentation reports results from an air monitoring study conducted in public venues in Hungary in 2008. The air monitoring equipment used assess the amount of small particles, below 2.5 microns, found in the environment. The inhalation of small particles is correlated with adverse respiratory and cardiac health outcomes. Tobacco smoke consists mainly of small particles, below 2.5 microns, and is thus the number one source of indoor air pollution. This study compares the level of indoor air pollution in locations in Hungary where smoking was observed with levels found outdoors and in indoor locations where smoking was not present.
We measured pollution levels in 6 pubs, 5 restaurants, 10 cafes, and 20 other locations in Budapest and Zalakarous between January and August this year.
We measured pollution levels in 6 pubs, 5 restaurants, 10 cafes, and 20 other locations in Budapest and Zalakarous between January and August this year.
The protocol we used was simple. We used a small air monitor called the Sidepak to measure the amount of pollution in real time continuously in different locations. We attempted to stay in each sampled location for 30 minutes. We counted up the number of people smoking in the venue and used a sonic measuring device to give us measurements of the dimensions of the indoor environment.
Here is a clear look at the data averaged across the three groups. In places where smoking is allowed, no restrictions we see an average pollution level of 155; in the places where smoking and non-smoking sections exist the pollution levels are lower, but still well above the hazard level of 15 microns. The average pollution level in the smoke-free locations was 5 microns, well within the EPA standard <15 microns.

This study documents high, and unsafe levels of indoor air pollution in numerous public indoor venues in Hungary. We also show that if smoking were banned indoors, the levels of indoor air pollution would decline by 90% or more. Reducing exposure to indoor air pollution from tobacco smoke will prevent heart attacks, respiratory problems such as asthma, and cancer. All citizens in Hungary deserve protection from tobacco smoke pollution.
