A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Â
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.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
Â
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 Caesarâs dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empireâs 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 Empireâs 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.

How Race, Age and Gender Shape Attitudes Towards Mental HealthThinkNow
Â
Mental health has been in the news quite a bit lately. Dozens of U.S. states are currently suing Meta for contributing to the youth mental health crisis by inserting addictive features into their products, while the U.S. Surgeon General is touring the nation to bring awareness to the growing epidemic of loneliness and isolation. The country has endured periods of low national morale, such as in the 1970s when high inflation and the energy crisis worsened public sentiment following the Vietnam War. The current mood, however, feels different. Gallup recently reported that national mental health is at an all-time low, with few bright spots to lift spirits.
To better understand how Americans are feeling and their attitudes towards mental health in general, ThinkNow conducted a nationally representative quantitative survey of 1,500 respondents and found some interesting differences among ethnic, age and gender groups.
Technology
For example, 52% agree that technology and social media have a negative impact on mental health, but when broken out by race, 61% of Whites felt technology had a negative effect, and only 48% of Hispanics thought it did.
While technology has helped us keep in touch with friends and family in faraway places, it appears to have degraded our ability to connect in person. Staying connected online is a double-edged sword since the same news feed that brings us pictures of the grandkids and fluffy kittens also feeds us news about the wars in Israel and Ukraine, the dysfunction in Washington, the latest mass shooting and the climate crisis.
Hispanics may have a built-in defense against the isolation technology breeds, owing to their large, multigenerational households, strong social support systems, and tendency to use social media to stay connected with relatives abroad.
Age and Gender
When asked how individuals rate their mental health, men rate it higher than women by 11 percentage points, and Baby Boomers rank it highest at 83%, saying itâs good or excellent vs. 57% of Gen Z saying the same.
Gen Z spends the most amount of time on social media, so the notion that social media negatively affects mental health appears to be correlated. Unfortunately, Gen Z is also the generation thatâs least comfortable discussing mental health concerns with healthcare professionals. Only 40% of them state theyâre comfortable discussing their issues with a professional compared to 60% of Millennials and 65% of Boomers.
Race Affects Attitudes
As seen in previous research conducted by ThinkNow, Asian Americans lag other groups when it comes to awareness of mental health issues. Twenty-four percent of Asian Americans believe that having a mental health issue is a sign of weakness compared to the 16% average for all groups. Asians are also considerably less likely to be aware of mental health services in their communities (42% vs. 55%) and most likely to seek out information on social media (51% vs. 35%).

Literature Review On Superstition
1. Literature Review On Superstition
1.2 LITERATURE REVIEW Superstition Beliefs in superstitions have persisted throughout the history of human being and have been transmitted from
generation to generation until the present time (Vyse, 1997). Therefore, Subbotsky (2009) stated that superstitious belief or magical belief is a
fundamental property of the human mind. What exactly are superstitions? Numerous definitions are formed based on different human society after
many years of research in the field. Womack (1992) defined superstition as the repetitive, unusual and rigid behaviors which could bring desired
positive effect to the believers without any causal relationship between the behavior and the outcome of an event. Another definition of superstition
refers to individuals'...show more content...
In other words, selfâefficacy is the individuals' abilities to have control over their own functioning as well as the occasions that affect their lives
(Bandura, 1994). In contemporary research, selfâefficacy is increasingly recognized as a reliable predictor of an individual's task performance in
comparison to their actual capability of accomplishing the task or their past experiences (Bandura, 1977; Sharma & Nasa, 2014). Moreover,
selfâefficacy is also identified as a more consistent predictor of future behavioral outcomes compared to any other motivation construct (as cited in
Damisch, 2008, p. 25). In fact, many studies have provided empirical evidences for the strong influence of selfâefficacy beliefs on task performance
(Cherian & Jacob, 2013; Ede, Hwang, & Feltz, 2011; Goulao, 2014; Heazlewood & Burke, Selfâefficacy and its relationship to selected sport

2. Curses And Superstition
Curses, Superstition, and Obsession In life you'll eventually hear a story that includes superstition and curses. At a point one won't believe it and
sometimes you fall for it. If you're a sports fan then you'll hear stories about those two even more. Sometimes superstition is passed down by
generations for example; I grew up knowing that breaking a mirror is bad. The more you hear about superstition, the more it brain washes you. Some
use it as an excuse to blame it for something like losing a bet. But do you think superstition is harmful or not? I didn't believe in superstition at first
until something happened to me which changed the way I look at it now. But first let me tell you what superstition is. Superstition is the belief in
supernatural things, for instance, getting bad luck for going under the ladder. Now, to me superstition is harmful because of the events that happened to
the Cubs and Red Sox. The Chicago Cubs have suffered a lot throughout the years, until last year when they won the world series after 100 years.
The cause for the suffering was because the Cubs were under a "curse". It all started in October of 1945 when William Sanis brought his pet goat to
the Cubs game. The game was going well until people started complaining about the goat's bad odor. Eventually, causing Sanis and his goat to get
kicked out. Sanis's last words were, "you'll never win a world series again", and these words became reality. Consequently, the Cubs started failing

SUPERSTITIOUS BELIEFS
INTRODUCTION
Over a period of time, superstitious beliefs have rooted themselves firmly in our society, so much so that it is virtually impossible for the person to
ignore them. They have made a place for themselves in all the walks of life, including politics and sports. Politicians resorting to the astrological
predictions is not at all rare. On the other hand, examples of superstitions in sports include cricketers carrying a coloured handkerchief in their pocket,
or soccer players putting their right foot first when they enter the field. Such superstitious practices are found all over the world. Basically, superstitious
beliefs and practices are illogical assumptions based on one particular incident, which are then...show more content...
Horseshoes have been used as protection from the evil in many European and Middle Eastern households.
Covering a Yawn
Some ancient theorists feared that the soul could sort of slip out of the body during a yawn, cresting an opportunity for evil spirits to get in and trash
the place. Also some ancient man had observed that newâborns, struggling to survive, yawn shortly after birth (a reflexive response to draw additional
oxygen into the lungs). With infant mortality extraordinarily high, early physicians, at a loss to account for frequent deaths, blamed the yawn. The
helpless baby simply could not cover its mouth with a protective hand. Roman physicians actually recommended that a mother be particularly vigilant
during the early months of life and cover any of her newâborn's yawns until they could learn to do it themselves. However, at present it is just
considered rude not covering a yawn since it is contagious.
The Unlucky 13
Surveys show that of all bad luck superstitions, unease surrounding the number 13 is the one that affects most people todayâand in almost countless
ways. Ancient Egyptians associated the number 13 with death, which later led to the fear of this number. The widely known story behind 13 being
unlucky is that of Last Supper. We all know, Judas, the betrayer of Jesus was the 13th guest at the meal. In ancient Rome, witches reportedly gathered
in groups of 12. The

4. Short Speech On Superstitions
Do you believe that if you see a black cat crossing your path you will have bad luck the entire day? Or if you open an umbrella in a room do you
think that it will give you bad luck? The main question is: are you superstitious? From birth to death humans have been trapped in their own
imagination of wrong belief systems that cause fear. These superstitions have gone around for hundreds of years and they are still present. Challenging
human's beliefs and values, separating us from the real world and creating fear and doubt. All these factors are created by superstition which is created
by humans. When humans believe in superstition they trap themselves and finally get torchered inside. Superstition challenges our beliefs and values.
Religious people often see other religions as superstitions. As well as agnostics and atheists may find all religious beliefs superstitious. Outsiders
religious rituals and practices are more likely to be labelled 'superstitions'. As religious people believe in extraordinary events such as an afterlife,
miracles, supernatural intervention, value of prayer, the meaningfulness of omens, charms, incantations and prognostications. The Roman Catholic
Church considers superstitions to be sinful in the way that it means that there is a lack of trust in God. Therefore this is a violation of the Ten
Commandments in their culture. Islam refers such false beliefs as the way of Shaitan (Demon or Satan) and prohibits following such beliefs that are

6. The Importance Of Superstitions
There are two types of people in this world, the people who follow superstitions and people that dont. Superstitions play a big role in today's society
to the point where people will go about their day due to a superstition. If a superstition that told them they were going to have bad luck because of
walking under a ladder, they are probably going to be more likely to believe something that is not true. An event like this took place in the book ĐĐ
Julius CaesarĐĐ when Julius was told to beware of the ides of march he did not listen. Some say that believing this saying would have saved his life.
However it must be taken into account the other reasons why it could have happened. In this essay we will analyze and explain on why superstitions
are not to be trusted and followed.
One way superstitions are influencing our lives is people believing certain triggers of good and bad luck, according to the us news ĐĐ25 percent of
people in the U.S. say they are "very" or "somewhat" superstitious in generalĐĐ (Colino 1). When people see a black cat or a penny on the wrong
side, it is generally associated with bad luck. In reality a perfectly good penny was just passed up due to ĐĐbad luckĐĐ. Most of the time its just as
harmless as passing up a penny, but that's not the case with everyone. Sometimes people let superstitions keep them from doing everyday tasks. This is
important because people are letting rumors and myths that have a pretty big chance of being incorrect completely change

7. The Definition Of Superstition
According to the definition quoted in American Heritage Dictionary, superstition can be defined as "beliefs that are inconsistent with known laws of
nature or what is generally considered rational in a society". (Kramer & Block, 2008) The word superstition is derived from Latin "super" & "sisto"
meaning "the one who is above" or "the one who is not progressive". Dictionary definitions elude to the negative aspect of the concept of superstition

According to this theory, human beings have the belief or illusion that their actions have direct influence on the events when in reality no such
connection exists. Thus human beings continue to believe in the illusion that they have a measure of control over the events. Therefore, people carry
out superstitious behaviors as they believe that their actions are influencing and controlling the event or situation. This sort of belief is more common
in events which are a mixture of human skill and chance such as in sports where part of the outcome is linked with human skill as well. Such events
further reinforce the illusion of control and therefore the superstitious behavior. (Langer, 1975, 1977; Langer & Roth, 1975) Furthermore, superstitious
behavior development is also linked with perception of loss of control over a situation. A research was conducted in 2004, which established the
inverse relation between the practice of superstitious behavior and the decreased control over the situation. More and more superstitious actions were
carried out with increased loss of control over a situation. (Case, et al,

We have all seen or practiced a superstition. Crossing our fingers for good luck or avoiding the path of a black cat. Some are as old as the written
word. They have woven themselves into the fabric of everyday society. Probably the most superstious group in our society is the athlete.
Baseball players will not step on the foul line as they leave the field of play. Football players have exact pregame rituals that can not be interrupted.

Being superstitious is something that most players will not admit to being, but the rest of the team will not talk to a pitcher pitching a no hitter. It is
an unwritten rule that even if you do not believe in the superstition, you still do not challenge it. A pitcher who was in the middle of pitching a
perfect game was receiving a cup of water from the same bat boy in between innings. Before the eighth inning the batboy did not give him his cup of
water. Panic set in, the ritual had been broken. On his way to the pitcher's mound, all he could think of was the cup of water. He went on to pitch the
perfect game, but the effect the superstition had on him is evident. His most memorable moment of the game was not getting that cup of water. Over
thirty years later, this is what he remembers.
The common denominator behind most sport superstitions is confidence. By following these idiosyncrasies, the player maintains his confidence. A
pitcher on a winning streak will keep using the same undershirt and socks without washing them. Not doing this will upset the baseball gods and they
will end his winning streak. In reality it is just an extra boost to his confidence. An extra confident pitcher can make the out pitch when it is needed.
Another result of superstition is rhythm. A basketball player will go through an exact routine prior to attempting a free throw. This superstition/routine

10. Superstitious beliefs have transcended time, being seemingly inherent within traditional and modern societies. There are four prime types of
superstitious beliefs: socially shared superstitions, occult experiences, superstitious beliefs part of a wider global view or cosmology, and personal
superstitions (Jahoda, 1970). Examples of these include black cats, out of body sensations, religious practice, and singular rituals respectively. Though
studies considering this topic are scarce the primary finding among the existing literature demonstrates that when faced with unknown situations
individuals are likely to enlist superstitious strategies or beliefs (Vyse, 1997). In essence, in order to minimise unfavourable outcomes and maximise
positive outcomes humans actively strive to understand, and subsequently control their environments (Case, Fitness, Cairns & Stevenson, 2004). In
order to gain control people will often feed into the so called 'illusion of control'. A previous experiment by Matute and Blanco (2014) required
participants to undertake a computerised program within which for durations of 1s the computer screen would flash blueâandâwhite. The participants'
task was to keep the screen black for as long as possible. Instructions required using the keyboard's spacebar to cause the screen to stay black. They
were told should they succeed the screen would stay black for another 5s, conversely should they fail the flashes would reappear immediately. The

When you look at them most superstitions and taboos have to do with some kind of luck be it good or bad. No one is 100% certain why this is but is
believed to have been started centuries ago. Peoples knowledge of things around them was limited so when people were having bad luck and
something good happened to them, they decided that it must have something to do with superstition a taboo so it became a superstition. And the other
way round they had good luck something bad happened it was a superstition. The origins of just about every superstition has been lost in time never to
be found because people never wrote them down they just passed them down from generation to generation. So the origins of them will probably be
lost for ever.

14. The Importance Of Superstitions In History
Throughout history, many superstitions have grown ranging from not opening an umbrella inside, to seeing a black cat crosses in front of you. Some
of these traditions we pass on today may seem crazy and we could wonder who came up with these insane ideas. Although the superstitions may not be
completely sound they all have an explanation in history. One of the most wellâknown superstitions would be triskaidekaphobia, or a fear of the number
13. This might seem irrational, but it has a basis in religious history and in many cultures throughout the ancient world. I believe that this fear may
have some basis in fact, however strange, and to prove this we will look at this superstitions basis in ancient history, its basis in religious history, and
how it plays out in our culture today.
To start, we can look at how it has a basis in ancient history. One of the first items of proof for these superstitions would be all the way back in
Hammurabi's code. Supposedly in ancient times the number thirteen was unlucky so in his code of laws the number 13 was omitted. However, if you
look at the original text the laws themselves were not numerically ordered, so likely this was just an error in translation or an error by the original
writer. Another area where this superstition may have started would be with the order of TheKnights Templar. On Friday, October 13, 1307 King
Phillip IV ordered the arrest and murder of The Knights Templar. After the arrest the knights were tortured and

15. Examples Of Superstitions
A superstition is a set of thoughts that are incongruent with reality, which lead to a series of doings, behaviours and beliefs that an object or action
that is not related to a group of events influences its outcomes (Akova, 2011; Damisch, Stoberock, & Mussweiler, 2010). There are superstitious people
all around the world, with different religions, beliefs, cultures and traditions (Akova, 2011).
Superstitions can serve to give either good or bad luck, some examples can be: crossing fingers, four leaf clovers, knocking on wood, breaking a mirror,
seeing a black cat, opening an umbrella inside the house, or even a set of steps selfâmade before an event (Akova, 2011).

This paranormal belief may be the result of those with an external locus of control attempting to deal with the uncontrollability of their lives. On the
contrary, individuals who present an internal locus of control do not necessarily hold superstitions, probably because they do not have the need of
coping with the uncontrollability of their lives (Stanke & Taylor, 2004).
Religiosity and superstition
In many studies, it has been found that religiosity correlates with the occurrence of superstitious behaviours and paranormal beliefs. Apparently, a
higher degree of religiosity correlates with a higher frequency of reporting beliefs in paranormal experiences or the supernatural (Stanke & Taylor,
2004).
However, religion considers superstitions as extravagant and irrational, but religion itself could be practiced in a superstitious way, not actually
believing in god but praying once in a while and attending church "just in case" (Delacroix & Guillard, 2008).

But the actual
reason behind it is that turmeric paste and cow dung has a very pungent smell and the
insects and snakes can't stay in such a smell and get away. Therefore, they don't prefer to

But the disadvantages of the superstitions are that many superstitious beliefs exist without

embedded in the minds of people that it's the right thing to do. For example â Chandigarh,
which is the most planned and beautiful city of India. It has fortyâseven sectors but there's no
sectorâ13 in Chandigarh. It has been omitted due to the fact that number 13 is considered as
an unlucky number in India. The other example based on the same reason is ISRO (Indian
Space and Research Organisation) name the space mission PSLVâC14 after the PSLVâ12
and not 13.

18. Renaissance Superstitions Essay
Superstitions have surrounded us since childhood, giving us all a healthy dose of fear every now and then (the monster under the bed for example),
that is quite useful in stressful situations. Question is, where did these superstitions come from? To be honest, everywhere. Superstitions are linked into
every culture and religion on Earth, whether it be christianity or buddhism, they are tied into them all. The
Renaissance was a time of strong belief in superstitions, most closely being witches, ghosts, and luck, all of which helped this time period flourish and
grow spiritually.
Witches were a heavy influence on superstitions during the Renaissance, believed to be the causes of the bubonic plague, crop failure, harvest failure,
animal death, and so on. Mostly women were accused of this 'devil's craft' because of the intellectual belief that women were the weaker sex. Women
were not highly thought of during the Renaissance, proven by this dominican monk's words, "It is commonly the nature of women to be timid and to
be afraid of everything. That is why they busy themselves so much about witchcraft and superstitions and run hither and thither, uttering a magic
formula here and a magic formula there." (Kors and Peters, Malleus maleficarum). It was believed witches kept familiars,...show more content...
For instance, it was believed to be terrible luck to spill and/or waste salt. This was due to salts high import price (most salt came from India). It was

sneezed, it was possible for a demon to possess you, hence the term "God bless you." On the other hand, it was if you were the seventh son of a

Their powers were in part to tell future events, to create evil and destruction. The witches could not however do fatal harm to their victims. In
appearance they were sexless. Banquo says that they should be women but they have a beard. The witches relation to Macbeth is that they represent
Macbeth 's evil ambition, only Macbeth can see the witches and no one else. Later in the play they lead him to his destruction. They do not guide
Macbeth but they only represent his own wishes and thoughts. Shakespeare 's witches are a compound of native folklore and classical mythology. They
serve demons, for they are summoned by the devil and predict apparitions. They are associated with Hecate, the Greek goddesses of sorcery. Although
the witches can foretell the future, the main idea of the play is that Macbeth bears responsibility for his own actions. The witches, and ghosts influence
him but do not control his destiny. Superstitions were often believed by many Elizabethans in Shakespeare 's time but how are these superstitions used
in the play. Superstitions are the unnatural unseen of the universe. Witches were one of these superstitions.
