This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

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.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
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.

FUNGI
7. Fungal Characteristics
Eukaryotic
Most are Multicellular and some are unicellular.
Heterotrophic
Absorb nutrients - may be saprobes (absorb from dead
material), parasites, or mutualistic symbionts (with algae
make lichen).
Secrete powerful hydrolytic enzymes.
Cell walls contain chitin, an amino sugar polysaccharide
also found in arthropod exoskeletons
Lack flagella
8. Characteristics of fungi
A. eukaryotic, non- vascular organisms
B. reproduce by means of spores (conidia), usually wind-disseminated
C. both sexual (meiotic) and asexual (mitotic) spores may be
produced, depending on the species and conditions
D. typically not motile, although a few (e.g. Chytrids) have a motile phase.
E. like plants, may have a stable haploid & diploid states
F. vegetative body may be unicellular (yeasts) or multicellular moulds
composed of microscopic threads called hyphae.
G. cell walls composed of mostly of chitin and glucan.
H. Complex cytoplasm with internal organelles, microfilaments and
microtubules
9. H. fungi are heterotrophic ( “other feeding,” must feed on preformed
organic material), not autotrophic ( “self feeding,” make their own
food by photosynthesis).
- Unlike animals (also heterotrophic), which ingest then digest,
fungi digest then ingest.
-Fungi produce exoenzymes to accomplish this
I. Most fungi store their food as glycogen (like animals). Plants store
food as starch.
K. Fungal cell membranes have a unique sterol, ergosterol, which
replaces cholesterol found in mammalian cell membranes
L. Tubule protein—production of a different type in microtubules
formed during nuclear division.
M. Most fungi have very small nuclei, with little repetitive DNA.
N. Mitosis is generally accomplished without dissolution of the
nuclear envelope
10. Introduction of fungi
Eukaryotic, Heterotrophic
(chemoheterotrophic) microorganism
No chlorophyll, non-motile
Thread of cells (hyphae), transverse cell
walls (septate), hyphal anastomosis
Storage compound; glycogen
11. Molds
filamentous fungi
hyphae (s., hypha)
the filaments of a mold
may be coenocytic (no cross walls) or have septa
(cross walls)
mycelium (pl. mycelia)
bundles or tangled masses of hyphae
14. Hyphae
Hyphae are designed to increase the surface area of fungi
and thus facilitate absorption
May grow fast, up to 1 km per day, as they spread throughout
a food source
May be coenocytic, having no septa between cells, or septa
may be present with pores through which cytoplasm can flow
moving nutrients through out the fungus
Parasitic fungi have modified hyphae called
haustoria, which penetrate the host tissue but
remain outside cell membrane
21. The Body of a Fungus
Fungi exist mainly in the form of slender
filaments (hyphae).
long chains of cells joined end-to-end divided by
cross-walls (septa)
rarely form complete barrier
cytoplasm freely streams in hyphae
mycelium - mass of connected hyphae
grows through and penetrates substrate
22. MYCELIUM
Intertwined filamentous mass formed by hyphae,
visible to the unaided eye
Forms when environmental conditions are right
Vegetative mycelium: Mycelial portion remaining
INSIDE the substrate to obtain nutrition
Reproductive mycelium: Mycelial portion extends
into air ,responsible for SPORE reproduction
25. Introduction of fungi
Other characteristics of fungi
the ability to synthesize lysine by the -amino
adipic acid pathway (AAA-pathway)
possession of a chitinous cell wall
plasma membranes containing the sterol
ergosterol
and microtubules composed of tubulin.
27. Fungal wall
Shape of fungi
Protect against osmotic lysis
It the wall contains pigments (melanin)
protect the cell against ultraviolet radiation or
the lytic enzymes of other organisms
It can have antigenic properties
28. Cell wall components
Predominance of polysaccharides, lesser
amounts of proteins and lipids
32. Cell wall components
The major polysaccharides of cell wall matrix
consist of glucans such as manans, chitosan,
and galactans
Glucan refers to a group of D-glucose polymers
having glycosidic bonds
Insoluble -glucans are apparently amorphous in cell
wall
Mannans, galactomannans, rhamnomannans are
responsible for the immunologic response to the
medically important yeasts and molds
35. Cell wall components
Consisting of chitinous microfibrils embedded in
the matrix of small polysaccharides, proteins,
lipids, inorganic salts, and pigments
Chitin is a (1-4)-linked polymer of N-acetyl-D-
glucosamine (GlcNAc)
Produced in cytosol (from UDP GlcNAc into
chains of chitin by chitin synthetase)
The chitin microfibrils are transported to the
plasmalemma and subsequently integrated into
the new cell wall
37. Cell wall components
In addition to chitin, glucan, and mannan, cell
walls may contain lipid, protein, chitosan, acid
phosphatase, amylase, protease, melanin, and
inorganic ions (phosphorus, calcium, and
magnesium)
The outer cell wall of dermatophytes contains
glycopeptides that may evoke both immediate
and delayed cutaneous hypersensitivity
38. Plasma membrane
The main role of the plasma membrane
To regulate the uptake and release of materials
Integral membrane protein (chitin syntase,
glucan syntase)
Signal transduction
39. Plasma membrane
Similar to mammalian plasma membrane,
differing in having the nonpolar sterol
ergosterol, rather than cholesterol
regulates the passage of materials into and
out of the cell by being selective permeable
Several antifungal agents interfere with
ergosterol synthesis (i.e., amphotericin B)
40.
41. Microtubules
Composed of the protein tubulin, which
consists of a dimer composed of two
protein subunits.
Microtubules are long, hollow cylinders ~
25 nm in diameter
Involved in the movement of organelles,
chromosomes, nuclei, and Golgi vesicle
containing cell wall precursor
42. Microtubules
Assist in the movement of chromosomes
during mitosis and meiosis
the destruction of cytoplasmic microtubules
interferes with the transport of secretory
materials to the cell periphery, which may
inhibit cell wall synthesis
43. Nucleus
The nucleus is bounded by a double nuclear
envelope and contains chromatin and a
nucleolus
Fungal nuclei are variable in size, shape, and
number
The number of chromosomes varies with the
particular fungus
S.cerevisiae ; 18 (n)
T.mentagophytes ; 4 (n)
44. The growth of hyphae
Apical extension
Balance between wall
synthesis and wall lysis
The apical vesicles are
produced from Golgi
bodies and then
transported to the tip
Spitzenkörper (apical body)
45. The vesicles fuse with the plasma membrane at the tip,
and release their contents.
enzymes involved in wall synthesis, (chitin syntase,
glucan synthase)
enzymes involved in wall lysis,
enzyme activators,
some preformed wall polymers such as mannoproteins
47. Aeration
The fungi include species that are obligately
aerobic (eg. most Zygomycota), obligately
anaerobic (eg. rumen fungi)
Organisms can obtain energy by oxidative
(respiratory) metabolism or by fermentation
O2 is used for oxidative metabolism to generate
energy. However it is essential for biosynthesis
of sterols, unsaturated fatty acids and some
vitamins
48. Table 2 Energy metabolism in relation to O2
requirements
Obligately oxidative. Obligate aerobes. Exp. Rhodotorula
Facultatively fermentative. Energy can be obtained by
oxidative and fermentative processed such fungi are
likely to be faculative anaerobes. Oxidative
metabolism, provides much more energy than
fermentative, so higher yields can occur under aerobic
conditions. Exp. Mucor, Saccharomyces
Obiligately fermentative. Oxygen is not needed for energy
production , may be either harmless or toxic. Exp.
Blastocladia, Neocallimastix
49. Diagrammatic

Neocallimastix. Part of
the fermentation occurs
in the cytosol and
hydrogenosome
Hydrogenosome:
functionally
equivalent to the
mitochondria of
aerobic organisms
50. Fungal nutrition
A. Absorptive mode
over whole surface or via restricted absorbing regions ,
e.g. a. rhizoids in "lower" fungi
b. substrate hyphae* in "higher" fungi
c. apical tips of hyphae
*The substrate hyphae of molds nourish the
aerial hyphae and reproductive hyphae
B. Extracellular digestion
Fungi secrete enzymes that depolymerize complex
natural products (proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, etc.) so
they can be absorbed as sources of carbon and energy.

54. The nutrient requirement of fungi
Carbon needs for the synthesis of
carbohydrates, lipids, nucleic acids, and
proteins.
Simple sugars, polysaccharides, citric acid, glycerol
Nitrogen for synthesis of amino acids for
proteins, purines and pyrimidines for nucleic
acids, glucosamine for chitin, and various
vitamins
Amino acid, ammonium, nitrate

67. CLASSIFICATION
Fungi are eukaryotic organisms that do
not contain chlorophyll, but have cell walls,
filamentous structures, and produce spores.
These organisms grow as saprophytes and
decompose dead organic matter. There are
between 100,000 to 200,000 species depending on
how they are classified. About 300species are
presently known to be pathogenic for man. There
are five kingdoms of living things. The fungi are
in the Kingdom Fungi.
69. Medically important fungi are in four phyla:
1. Ascomycota - Sexual reproduction in a sack called an ascus
with the production of ascopspores.( Aspergillus, Blastomyces
dermatidis, Histoplasma capsulatus)
2. Basidiomycota -Sexual reproduction in a sack called a
basidium with the production of basidiospores.( Cryptococcus
neoformans)
3. Zygomycota - sexual reproduction by gametes and asexual
reproduction with the formation of zygospores.( Rhizopus,
Mucor)
4. Deuteromycota(Fungi Imperfecti Mitosporic Fungi) - no
recognizable form of sexual reproduction. Includes most
pathogenic fungi ( Sporothrix, Coccidioides immitis, Candida,
Pneumocystis).
