Turner syndrome (gonadal dysgenesis) is one of the most common chromosomal abnormalities occuring 1 in 2500 to 1 in 3000 live-born girls. It is an important cause of short stature in girls and primary amenorrhea in young women that is usually caused by loss of part or all of an X chromosome. This review briefly summarises the current knowledge about the syndrome and the management strategies.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

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.

2. Important Note!
Some transphobic language and human
anatomy revolving around the genitalia
will be spoken about for the sole
purpose of educating others. This
powerpoint is being made with the sole
purpose to educate others. You’re free
to step out at any time, no hard feelings
3. An intersex person is someone who was deemed
to not have “clearly male” or “clearly female”
genitalia at the moment of birth. What’s defined as
“clearly male” is the penis NOT being shorter than
a specific length. What’s defined as “clearly
female” is the clitoris NOT being longer than a
specific length.
If the child has a “mixture” of genitalia (testicles
and a vagina as an example) then they are deemed
“intersex”
5. The term “hermaphrodite” is a dated term in the
medical community. In reality, no human is capable
of being a hermaphrodite. Animals that are
hermaphrodites have both female and male genitalia
AND can get themselves pregnant. Humans that
exhibit both male and female genitalia can NOT get
themselves pregnant.

7. Specific Conditions
The following slides covers some of the “big”
conditions that fall into the intersex
umbrella. Some conditions vary from
person to person, depending on the
individual’s biology and chemistry.
17. David Reimer was born an identical (non-intersex) twin boy in
1965. When David was 8 months old, David and his brother each
had a minor medical problem involving his penis, and a doctor
decided to treat the problem with circumcision. The doctor
accidentally cut off all of David’s penis. At the advice of a
psychologist, David’s parents agreed to have him “sex
reassigned” and made into a girl via surgical, hormonal, and
psychological .
For many years, the psychologist (John Money) claimed that
David (known in the interim as “Brenda”) turned out to be a “real”
girl with a female gender identity. Money used this case to
bolster his approach to intersex, one that relies on the
assumption that gender identity is all about nurture (upbringing),
not nature (inborn traits), and that gender assignment is the key
to treating all children with atypical sex anatomies.

21. Ethics and Intersex (International Library of
Ethics, Law, and the New Medicine)
by Sharon E. Sytsma (Editor)
This collection of 21 articles is designed to
serve as a state-of-the art reference book for
intersexuals, their parents, health care
professionals, ethics committee members, and
anyone interested in problems associated with
intersexuality. It fills an important need
because of its uniqueness as an
interdisciplinary effort, bringing together not
just urologists and endocrinologists, but
gynecologists, psychiatrists, psychologists,
lawyers, theologians, gender theorists, medical
historians, and philosophers. Most contributors
are well-known experts on intersexuality in
their respective fields. The book is also unique
in that it is also an international effort, including
authors from England, the Netherlands,
Germany, Australia, India, Canada and the
United States.
22. Intersex and Identity by Sharon
Preves
In Intersex and Identity: The Contested
Self, sociologist Sharon Preves
explores how people with intersex
conditions experience and cope with
being labeled sexual deviants in a
society that demands sexual
conformity. By demonstrating how
intersexed people manage and create
their own identities, often in conflict with
their medical diagnosis, Preves shows
that medical intervention into
intersexuality often creates, rather than
mitigates, the stigma these people
suffer.
23. Fools for Love by Lisa Lees
Carys has never willingly worn a dress and
Jami, who has, is intersexed. Teenage love
is never easy, but for Carys and Jami love
is an often terrifying journey in self-discovery
and trust.
Carys, a senior, meets home-schooled
Jami at a week-long Arts
Camp where she is clowning (as a tramp
named Lovelorn) and
Jami is helping teach a photography
course. Carys is immediately attracted to
Jami and boldly sets out to determine if the
interest might be mutual. Jami surprises
herself by telling Carys that she is
intersexed, and so begins a sometimes
very emotional process of figuring out what
it would mean for Carys and Jami to be in
love, and eventually to make love. They
continue to see each other when the Arts
Camp ends, becoming involved in each
other’s activities and interests.
