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.
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.
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.

39. INTRODUCTION
The National Health Policy of 1983 and the National Health
Policy of 2002 have served well in guiding the approach for the
health sector in the Five-Year Plans.
Now 14 years after the last health policy, the context has changed
in four major ways.
First, the health priorities are changing.
Although maternal and child mortality have rapidly declined,
there is growing burden on account of noncommunicable
diseases and some infectious diseases.
The second important change is the emergence of a robust
health care industry estimated to be growing at double digit.
The third change is the growing incidences of catastrophic
expenditure due to health care costs, which are presently
estimated to be one of the major contributors to poverty.
Fourth, a rising economic growth enables enhanced fiscal
capacity. Therefore, a new health policy responsive to these
contextual changes is required.
40. The primary aim of the National Health Policy, 2017, is
to inform, clarify, strengthen and prioritize the role of
the Government in shaping health systems in all its
dimensions- investments in health, organization of
healthcare services, prevention of diseases and
promotion of good health through cross sectoral
actions, access to technologies, developing human
resources, encouraging medical pluralism, building
knowledge base, developing better financial
protection strategies, strengthening regulation and
health assurance.
41. NHP 2017 builds on the progress made since the last
NHP 2002. The developments have been captured in
the document “Backdrop to National Health Policy
2017- Situation Analyses”, Ministry of Health & Family
Welfare, Government of India.
42. Goal
The policy envisages as its goal the attainment of the
highest possible level of health and wellbeing for all at
all ages, through a preventive and promotive health
care orientation in all developmental policies, and
universal access to good quality health care services
without anyone having to face financial hardship as a
consequence. This would be achieved through
increasing access, improving quality and lowering the
cost of healthcare delivery.
43. The policy recognizes the pivotal importance of
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). An indicative
list of time bound quantitative goals aligned to
ongoing national efforts as well as the global strategic
directions is detailed at the end of this section.
44. Key Policy Principles
I. Professionalism, Integrity and Ethics: The health
policy commits itself to the highest professional
standards, integrity and ethics to be maintained in the
entire system of health care 2 delivery in the country,
supported by a credible, transparent and responsible
regulatory environment.
II. Equity: Reducing inequity would mean affirmative
action to reach the poorest. It would mean minimizing
disparity on account of gender, poverty, caste,
disability, other forms of social exclusion and
geographical barriers. It would imply greater
investments and financial protection for the poor who
suffer the largest burden of disease.
45. III. Affordability: As costs of care increases,
affordability, as distinct from equity, requires
emphasis. Catastrophic household health care
expenditures defined as health expenditure exceeding
10% of its total monthly consumption expenditure or
40% of its monthly non-food consumption
expenditure, are unacceptable.
IV. Universality: Prevention of exclusions on social,
economic or on grounds of current health status. In
this backdrop, systems and services are envisaged to be
designed to cater to the entire population- including
special groups.
46. V. Patient Centered & Quality of Care: Gender
sensitive, effective, safe, and convenient healthcare
services to be provided with dignity and
confidentiality. There is need to evolve and
disseminate standards and guidelines for all levels of
facilities and a system to ensure that the quality of
healthcare is not compromised.
VI. Accountability: Financial and performance
accountability, transparency in decision making, and
elimination of corruption in health care systems, both
in public and private.
47. VII. Inclusive Partnerships: A multistakeholder
approach with partnership & participation of all
nonhealth ministries and communities. This approach
would include partnerships with academic
institutions, not for profit agencies, and health care
industry as well.
VIII. Pluralism: Patients who so choose and when
appropriate, would have access to AYUSH care
providers based on documented and validated local,
home and community based practices. These systems,
inter alia, would also have Government support in
research and supervision to develop and enrich their
contribution to meeting the national health goals and
objectives through integrative practices.
48. IX. Decentralization: Decentralization of decision
making to a level as is consistent with practical
considerations and institutional capacity. Community
participation in health planning processes, to be
promoted side by side.
X. Dynamism and Adaptiveness: constantly
improving dynamic organization of health care based
on new knowledge and evidence with learning from
the communities and from national and international
knowledge partners is designed.

1. Ensuring Adequate Investment
The policy proposes a potentially achievable target of
raising public health expenditure to 2.5% of the GDP
in a time bound manner. It envisages that the
resource allocation to States will be linked with State
development indicators, absorptive capacity and
financial indicators. The States would be
incentivised for incremental State resources for
public health expenditure. General taxation will
remain the predominant means for financing care.
58. 2. Preventive and Promotive Health
The policy articulates to institutionalize inter-sectoral
coordination at national and sub-national levels to
optimize health outcomes, through constitution of
bodies that have representation from relevant non-
health ministries.
This is in line with the emergent international “Health in
All” approach as complement to Health for All.
The policy prerequisite is for an empowered public
health cadre to address social determinants of health
effectively, by enforcing regulatory provisions.
59. The policy identifies coordinated action on seven
priority areas for improving the environment for
health:
The Swachh Bharat Abhiyan
Balanced, healthy diets and regular exercises.
Addressing tobacco, alcohol and substance abuse
Yatri Suraksha – preventing deaths due to rail and road
traffic accidents
Nirbhaya Nari –action against gender violence
Reduced stress and improved safety in the work place
Reducing indoor and outdoor air pollution
60. Organization of Public Health Care Delivery:
In primary care – from selective care to assured
comprehensive care with linkages to referral hospitals
In secondary and tertiary care – from an input
oriented to an output based strategic purchasing
In public hospitals – from user fees & cost recovery
to assured free drugs, diagnostic and emergency
services to all
In infrastructure and human resource
development – from normative approach to targeted
approach to reach under-serviced areas
61. In urban health – from token interventions to on-
scale assured interventions, to organize Primary
Health Care delivery and referral support for urban
poor. Collaboration with other sectors to address wider
determinants of urban health is advocated.
