This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

1. The Assassination of JFK
The assassination of John F.
Kennedy, the thirty-fifth
President of the United States,

4. The Texas School Book Depository
• When the Presidential limousine turned and passed the Texas School Book
Depository and continued down Elm Street, shots were fired at Kennedy.
• The Dallas police sealed off the entrances to the Texas School Book Depository
as eyewitnesses professed hearing shots coming from that general direction.
• Upon investigation of the building a shooting area (now referred to as the
snipers nest) was found and later linked to Lee Harvey Oswald

6. Lee Harvey Oswald
Lee Harvey Oswald was, according to three

Oswald’s Background:
A United States Marine, and CIA asset, who
defected to the Soviet Union and later returned.
Oswald posed as a Pro-Castro Supporter.

10. Inside the Assassination Photos
Some of you might not like the see
these photos, if you choose not to,
that is fine. However, these are
actual photos of JFK’s autopsy.
They might be helpful later on in
class.

hand.”
"My God, they have shot his
head off."
“I want them to see what they

The Assassination
12.
13. The Autopsy
• Conflicting testimony about the autopsy performed on
President Kennedy's body.
– Particularly as to when the examination of the president's
brain took place.
• Who was present and whether or not the photos
submitted as evidence are the same as those taken
during the examination. (exit wound in the front or back
of head?)
• However, while the President's autopsy was underway at Bethesda
Naval Hospital, federal agents removed the X-rays of the body from
custody of the examining doctors. Though the X-rays undoubtedly
would have been valuable in determining trajectories of the bullets
hitting the President, and thus the shooter's location, they are
neither published nor alluded to in the Warren Report.
14. The Warren Commission Report
The conclusion of the Warren
Commission Report on the JFK
Assassination was:
Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone in
the killing of Kennedy and the
wounding of Texas Governor John
Connally.
In the years following the release of its
report and 26 investigatory evidence
volumes in 1964, the Warren
Commission has been frequently
criticized for some of its methods,
important omissions, and conclusions.
15. Single Bullet Theory
According to the single-bullet theory, a three-centimeter-long copper-
jacketed lead-core 6.5-millimeter rifle bullet fired from the sixth floor of the
Texas School Book Depository passed through President Kennedy’s neck
and Governor Connally’s chest and wrist and embedded itself in the
Governor’s thigh.
Horizontal View
From above
16. Single Bullet Theory re-enactment
• Bullet fired from 6th floor of TSBD entered 5.75” BELOW
President Kennedy’s collar and through his neck.
• From his neck it passed through Governor Connelly’s
chest/right armpit.
• From his chest/armpit area, it exited by his nipple and
into his RIGHT wrist.
• And from his RIGHT wrist, the bullet landed in the
Governor’s LEFT thigh.
The “Magic Bullet” or Commission Exhibit 399.
17. Investigation Reopened
United States House of Representatives Select Committee on Assassinations (HSCA)
was established in 1976 to investigate the John F. Kennedy assassination.
In its final report in 1979, it concluded that President John F. Kennedy was
assassinated by Lee Harvey Oswald, probably as a result of a conspiracy. The
members of this probable conspiracy were not identified.
18. HSCA Findings
• Oswald fired THREE shots at JFK. Shots 2 and 3 hit him,
shot 3 killed him.
• Scientific acoustical evidence gives high probability that at
least two gunmen fired.
• Assassinated as a result of a conspiracy. But they would not
say whom.
– They did say who was not involved: Soviets, Castro/Anti-
Castro groups, Mafia, Secret Service, F.B.I, and C.I.A.
were NOT involved in the conspiracy
But what about the Grassy Knoll???
19. The Grassy Knoll
The grassy knoll of Dealey Plaza is a
small, sloping hill inside the plaza that
became famous following the John F.
Kennedy assassination.
Of the 104 earwitness reports
published by the HCSA
Commission and elsewhere, 35
recorded testimony of shots from
the direction of the grassy knoll.
20. Mannlicher-Carcano Rifle
Clockwise from Top Left: Carcano bolt
action rifle. The bullets that were taken
from JFK during autopsy. A shell casing
from the murder weapon.
21. Assassination Conspiracy Theories
There are many conspiracy theories regarding who was behind the assassination
of John F. Kennedy on November 22, 1963 that arose soon after his death and
continue to be promoted today. Some of these include:
CIA
KGB
American Mafia
FBI director J. Edgar Hoover
Former Vice President Richard Nixon
Sitting Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson
Cuban president Fidel Castro
Anti-Castro Cuban exile groups
The Federal Reserve
The military-industrial complex
Representatives of Big Business
or some combination of those entities and individuals
Do we have time for all of these? I wish, but for now, you be the judge. I
have provided the information of the assassination. You can be the
conspiracy theorist! Check them out for yourself!

Editor's Notes
It was a cool, drizzly morning in Ft. Worth, Texas where President Kennedy and Mrs. Kennedy who spent the night planned to leave for Dallas following breakfast. As we learned earlier in the unit, JFK was the youngest elected President when he won the 1960 Election. Sadly, JFK would soon be the youngest President to die. November 22, 1963 was another day that will live in infamy in American History. It was the day that the 35th President of the United States, John Fitzgerald Kennedy would be assassinated.
JFK arrived in at Love Field in Dallas around 11:30am to a crowd of nearly 12,000 people. As you listen, you can hear the 12,000 people cheering for his arrival to reflect how excited the people were for the President to come to Dallas. You can actually here the announcer talk about how each person gets in the limo and who is sitting where.
On the corner of Houston and Elm streets was a building known as the Texas School Book Depository. It was the home to a private firm that stocked and distributed textbooks for public schools in north Texas and parts of Oklahoma. On the 6th floor is the alleged shooting area, now referred to as the snipers nest. In fact to this day you can watch a live camera that pans back and forth from the window where Lee Harvey Oswald allegedly took the shots. The photo in the lower left is an actual photo from the the evidence that was collected by the Warren Court Commission. More on them later.
So who exactly was Lee Harvey Oswald? He was born in New Orleans and he never knew who his own father. After he served in the United States Marines, he attempted to renounce his U.S. citizenship, and he then moved to the Soviet Union. He married Marina Prusakova. Finally in 1962, he and his wife returned back to the United States He was a pro-Castro Supporter and was even arrested for unlawful agitation and distribution of literature that was pro-Castro. In October 1963, he moved back to Dallas, and he was even assigned an FBI agent to have him be monitored of suspicious behavior. According to three government investigations, Lee Harvey Oswald was the assassin of JFK. About a month before the assassination Oswald rented a boarding house room under the name of O.H. Lee
Jack Ruby was a nightclub owner in Dallas, Texas who was so distraught over the assassination of John F. Kennedy that he assassinated Lee Harvey Oswald, less then two days after Oswald killed the President. The murder took place in the basement of the Dallas Police headquarters. There is a newspaper article that is going around with this famous photo of Oswald being shot by nightclub owner Jack Ruby. Also if you look in the back of the “The Torch has been passed” book you can see the two shots just before the killing of Oswald. Also, the Grand Rapids press has an article that says that Ruby was so distraught over the assassination that he cried to his sister, I think it is over the phone, however, it might be in person that he cried to her.
At Oswald’s funeral secret service was there to monitor. The gravediggers were given a false name about who was actually being buried to keep from the news coming. Although he was a presidential assassin the United States government did everything they could to keep the funeral of Oswald from leaking to the media. Any conspiracy that was thought about by many Americans over the assassination of John F. Kennedy were fueled by the actions of Jack Ruby.
JFK is buried at Arlington National Cemetery. Earlier in the chapter we talked about how the televised debates of 1960 played a major role in changing politics, so did the funeral of JFK. Crowds lined the streets of Washington on November 25, 1963 to pay their final respects for President Kennedy. On the lower right, you can see John F. Kennedy Jr. salute his fathers casket as he passes by. To make matter worse, not only did he lose his dad, but he had to bury his father on the date of his third birthday.
Established in 1963 by now President Lyndon B. Johnson to investigate the assassination of former president JFK, the Warren Court had a 888-page report that was finished less than a year after the Commission was created. Despite the many theories and the many flimsy evidence that may be depicted throughout the investigation that could result in a conspiracy, the Warren Court concluded that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone in killing of Kennedy and the wounding of Governor Connally, and that Jack Ruby acted along in the murder of Oswald. Gerald R. Ford said that the CIA destroyed or kept from investigators critical secrets connected to the assassination of JFK.
Let’s get into the biggest theory that is tied with the JFK assassination. The single bullet theory, also known as the magic bullet theory. In this theory, a single bullet caused ALL the wounds to the governor and the non-fatal wounds to the president. It says that a 6.5 millimeter bullet passed through JFK’s neck and Governor Connally’s chest and wrist and embedded itself in the Governor’s thigh. So why is this theory so intriguing? If it is true, it traveled through 15 layers of clothing, 7 layers of skin, 15 inches of tissue, hit a necktie knot, then removed 4 inches of rib and shattered a radius bone. The magic bullet, wait for it, was found on the gurney in the corridor at the Parkland Memorial Hospital in Dallas after the assassination.
The United States House of Representatives Select Committee on Assassinations…WOW that’s a long one, was established in 1976 to investigate the murders of JFK and MLK, as well as the shooting of Alabama Governor George Wallace...more on him next unit. When the HSCA concluded it deemed that JFK was “very likely” assassinated as a result of a conspiracy. However, the committee noted that it believed that the conspiracy did not included the governments of the Soviet Union or Cuba. It also said the Mafia was not involved nor Anti-Castro, but it could not rule out individual members of those groups acting together.
A small sloping hill inside the plaza that was located above and to his right (NORTH WEST) of JFK when he was shot. The HSCA concluded that their was a second gunmen on the grassy knoll. HSCA concluded that a second assassin fired from the knoll but missed. They concluded that it missed due to the lack of physical evidence of an actual bullet. Keep in mind that the HSCA investigation took place almost sixteen years after the crime. So naturally the HSCA agreed with the Warren Commission Report of the single bullet theory.
