The document discusses how the nervous system allows living things to interact with their surroundings. It describes the main organs that make up the nervous system - the brain, spinal cord, and nerves. The brain receives information and sends messages to the body, while the spinal cord connects the brain to the rest of the body. Nerves connect the spinal cord to muscles, joints, and skin to transmit messages between the brain and body.

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
Acetabularia Information For Class 9 .docxvaibhavrinwa19
Acetabularia acetabulum is a single-celled green alga that in its vegetative state is morphologically differentiated into a basal rhizoid and an axially elongated stalk, which bears whorls of branching hairs. The single diploid nucleus resides in the rhizoid.

2. Interaction, a life process
Living things interact with each other
and the world around them in many
ways.
For example, these fish are interacting
with the shark. They help it to keep
clean by eating parasites.
In order to interact with other living things
and with our surroundings, we need to
receive information about them. We use our
senses to get this information.
3. Which organs make up the
nervous system?
The brain
It receives information and
then sends a message to
a part of the body
to tell it how to react.
The spinal cord
It connects the brain to the
rest of the body.
Nerves
They connect the spinal cord
to our muscles, joints and skin.
Motor nerves transmit
messages our brain sends
to the muscles, joints and
skin.
Sensory nerves receive
messages from the
muscles, joints and skin
and send them to the
brain.
It is made up of the
cerebrum, the cerebellum
and the brainstem.
4. How does the nervous system work?
The nervous system is made up of millions of neurons, which receive and
transmit messages from different parts of the body and from the brain.
Neurons are star-shaped. They consist of a
cell body, a long extension called the axon
and shorter, thin fibres called dendrites.
To transmit messages, they create nerve impulses
(electrical signals).
Cell body: It controls the neuron. Creates impulses.
Axon: It transmits the impulses to other neurons.
Dendrites: They receive nerve impulses from other
neurons.
5. How do we see?
The iris is made of
small muscles. It opens
and closes the pupil.
The pupil is a small
hole that lets light into
the eye.
The cornea covers and
protects the iris and
the pupil.
The lens is a transparent, oval-shaped
structure that focuses light onto the retina.
It’s located behind the pupil and the iris.
The retina is made of
nervous tissue
arranged in thin layers
of cells that detect
light and colours. They
send information to
the optic nerve.
The optic nerve is
connected to the
brain. It transmits
information from the
retina.
6. How do we hear?
Sound waves go into our ear and hit
the eardrum. As a result, the
eardrum vibrates.
When the
eardrum
vibrates, it makes
the small bones
inside the ear
vibrate, too.
The cochlea detects the vibrations and
produces nerve impulses. The auditory
nerve transmits these impulses to the brain.
Then the brain interprets the information.
7. How do we taste and smell?
Smells are made up of gases in the air. When air
goes into your nose, the gases go into your nasal
passages. The olfactory cells detect the gases and
send nerve impulses to the olfactory nerve. It
transmits the impulses to the brain and the brain
interprets the information.
The tiny, pink bumps on your tongue are called tastebuds.
They can detect special chemicals in the things that you
eat and drink. The chemicals mix with saliva and then the
tastebuds detect them. The tastebuds produce nerve
impulses and transmit them to the gustatory nerves.
These nerves then transmit the impulses to the brain,
which interprets the information.
8. How can we keep our nervous
system healthy?
You should look after your brain and your muscles, because the nervous
system is responsible for movement, breathing and your heartbeat.
Keeping your brain healthy
• You should exercise it for example by
doing puzzles or playing thinking
games.
• You can also train your memory and
solve mathematical or linguistic
problems. I
• t’s also important to rest your brain.
Have enough hours of sleep.
• A balanced diet is also important for a
healthy brain.
• You should also drink lots of water.
Keeping your muscles healthy
• Do regular exercise. This
guarantees a regular supply of
blood and oxygen to your muscles.
• By doing exercise, you’re also
exercising your heart and lungs.
