How medical/clinical laboratory staff should behave. Their relationship with their regulatory body, their clients, their colleagues and other professionals.
In the era of modern technology, health care delivery system involves so many different personnel and specialties that the caregiver must have an understanding and working knowledge of other professional endeavors, including the role of diagnostic evaluation.
Basically, laboratory and diagnostic tests are tools by and of themselves, they are not therapeutic.
In conjunction with a pertinent history and physical examination, these tests can confirm a diagnosis or provide valuable information about a patient status and response to therapy.
In addition to these, laboratory findings are essential for epidemiological surveillance and research purposes.
If the entire network of a laboratory service is to be effectively utilized and contribute to health care and disease prevention, every member of its work force need to:
Understand the role of the laboratory and its contribution to the nation’s health service;
Appreciate the need to involve all members in the provision of health service;
Follow professional ethics and code of conduct;
Experience job satisfaction and have professional loyalty.
Medical laboratory science is a complex field embracing a number of different disciplines such as
Microbiology,
Hematology,
Clinical Chemistry,
Urinalysis,
Immunology,
Serology,
Histopathology,
Immunohematology and
Molecular biology and others
Biochemistry is a basic science which deals with chemical nature and chemical behaviour of living matter and with the reactions and processes they undergo.
Biochemistry involves the study of:
Chemical constituents of living matter.
Chemical changes which occur in the organism during digestion, absorption and excretion.
Chemical changes which occur during growth and multiplication of the organism.
Transformation of one form of chemical constituent to the other.
Energy changes involved in such transformation.
Note:- The term “Biochemistry” was first introduced by German chemist Carl Neuberg in 1903 from Greek word “bios” means “life”.
It is mainly deals with the biochemical aspects that are involved in several conditions.
The results of qualitative and quantitative analysis of body fluids assist the clinicians in the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of the disease and drug monitoring, tissue and organ transplantation, forensic investigations and so on.
Various biological fluids subjected to chemical tests and assays include blood, plasma, serum, urine, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), ascetic fluid, pleural fluid, faeces, calculi and tissues.
Note:- Modern day medical practice is highly dependent on the laboratory analysis of body fluids, especially the blood. The disease manifestations are reflected in the composition of blood and other tissues.
Hence, the demarcation of abnormal from normal constituents of the body is another aim of the study of clinical biochemistry.

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 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.
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. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
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.

2. Classification of medical laboratories
• The world Health Organization (WHO) lists four
kinds of levels of laboratories based on their
biosafety.
1. Basic laboratory level I
2. Basic laboratory level II
3. Containment laboratory (Level III)
4. Maximum containment laboratory
3. 1. Basic laboratory level I
• Work with organisms which have low risk to the
individual laboratory personnel as well as to the
members of the community.
• Such organisms are categorized under Risk Group I
by WHO.
• These organisms are unlikely to cause human
diseases. Example, food spoilage bacteria,
common molds and yeasts.
4. 2. Basic laboratory level II
• Basic laboratory level II is suitable for work with
organisms that influence to moderate risk to the
laboratory worker and a limited risk to the members
of the community.
• Such organisms are categorized under Risk Group II by
WHO.
• They can cause serious human diseases but not
serious hazards due to the availability of effective
preventive measures and treatment. Example,
staphylococci, streptococci, entero bacteria.
• Such laboratory should be clean, provide enough
space, have adequate sanitary facilities and equipped
with autoclave.
5. 3. Containment laboratory (Level III)
• Containment laboratory is more advanced and it is
used for work with infectious organisms that present a
high risk to the laboratory personnel but a lower risk to
the community.
• Such organisms are categorized under Risk Group III by
WHO. Example, Tubercle bacilli, Salmonella typhi and
others.
• The principle is to remove from the basic laboratory
those organisms and activities which are particularly
hazardous.
• They are easily transmitted through airborne, ingestion
of contaminated food or water.
• Such laboratory should be a separate room with
controlled access by authorized staff. It should also be
fitted with microbial safety cabinet.
6. 4. Maximum containment laboratory
• Maximum containment laboratory is intended for work
with viruses, which predispose to a high risk for both
laboratory personnel and the community.
• Such organisms are categorized under Risk Group IV by
WHO. Example, Small pox, Ebola, Lassa fever and
others.
• Most of these organisms cause serious disease and
readily transmitted from on person to another.
• These laboratories are usually a separate building with
strictly controlled access.
