This document provides an overview of medical terminology used in various disciplines. It discusses prefixes, suffixes, and terms used for direction, position, movement, microbiology, pharmacology, and common medical terms. Key areas covered include suffixes for medical disciplines (-ology and -ologist), prefixes indicating direction and position, terms for numeric values, naming conventions for bacteria and viruses, and classifications of drugs. The document aims to familiarize the reader with fundamental terminology across different areas of medicine.
Notwithstanding the unprecedented advances the medical science has achieved, the fundamental value system of it’s practitioners has crumbled to a great extent. The principles and the foundations of the noble profession at present are very shaky and wobbly. The need and greed of lucre is the ‘principal principle’ which seems to be ruling this ‘materialistic’ world. Original guidelines of the Fathers of Medicine seem to be slowly fading away. Therefore it is the necessity in these testing times to introspect deeply and reinvent the vanishing science of ‘Medical Deontology.'
Updated Presentation has been uploaded replete with pertinent examples of the principles to make it more interesting and interactive training session!
Elimination is the expulsion of waste products from the body through the skin ,lungs, kidneys and rectum Urinary elimination is the removal of waste products from the body through the urinary system(urine)

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter 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.
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.

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.
