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.
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.

NEUROLOGICAL ASSESSMENT
3. The human nervous system is a highly
specialized system responsible for the control
and integration of body’s many activities.
Is a physically connected network of cells, tissues
and organs that allow us to communicate with
and react to the environment and perform life
activities.
Divided into central nervous system and
peripheral nervous system.
4. Types
Nervous system
Central nervous
system
The brain
Brain, cerebrum,
cerebellum,
diencephalon.
The spinal cord
Other parts
Meninges
Cerebrospinal
fluid
Neurons
Peripheral
nervous system
Somatic nervous
system
Autonomic
nervous system
5.
6. CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM
Receives, interprets and sends signals to Peripheral
nervous system
2 main parts- BRAIN & SPINAL CORD
Brain- main control centre
Spinal cord- connects and relays nerve impulse to the
brain
During embryonic development, the CNS first appears
as a simple tube, the neural tube, which extends down
the dorsal median plan of the developing embryo’s
body.
7. BRAIN
The brain is the largest and most complex mass of
nervous tissue in the body.
Contains 100 billion multipolar neurons.
one of largest organs in body:
men: 1,600 g (3.5 lbs) women: 1,450 g (3.2 lbs)
one of most metabolically active organs in body
comprises only 2% of total body weight it yet
gets 15% of blood
consumes 20% of our oxygen need at rest (more
when mentally active)
decrease in glucose: dizziness convulsions
unconsciousness.

9. A brain is divided into-
CEREBRUM
largest portion and associated with:
higher mental functions, voluntary activity,
memory,
language,
receives and responds to sensory signal
control motor function.
11. BRAIN STEM
Includes the midbrain, pons, and medulla
Function of brain stem-
Swallowing,
Coughing,
Sneezing, and
Vomiting
12.
13. Length. The spinal cord is approximately 17 inches
(42 cm) long.
Major function. The spinal cord provides a two-way
conduction pathway to and from the brain, and it is a
major reflex center (spinal reflexes are completed at
this level).
Location. Enclosed within the vertebral column, the
spinal cord extends from the foramen magnum of the
skull to the first or second lumbar vertebra, where it
ends just below the ribs.
Spinal nerves. In humans, 31 pairs of spinal nerves
arise from the cord and exit from the vertebral column
to serve the body area close by.
Cauda equina. The collection of spinal nerves at the
inferior end of the vertebral canal is called cauda
equina because it looks so much like a horse’s tail.
14. PERIPHERAL NERVOUS
SYSTEM-
consists of the cranial and spinal nerves
that arise from the central nervous system and
travel to the remainder of the body.
is made up of the somatic nervous system that
oversees voluntary activities
the autonomic nervous system controls
involuntary activities.
28. Spinal Nerves
Thirty-one pairs of mixed nerves make up the
spinal nerves.
Spinal nerves are grouped according to the level
from which they arise and are numbered in
sequence, beginning with those in the cervical
region.
Each spinal nerve arises from two roots:
A dorsal/ sensory root, and
A ventral/ motor root.
29. -8 pairs of
cerviral spinal
nerves
-12 pairs of
thoracic spinal
nerves
-5 pairs of
lumbar spinal
nerves
-5 pairs of
sacral spinal
nerves
-1 pair of
coccyx spinal
nerves
30. Nervous system composed of NEURONS AND
NEUROGLIA.
Neurons transmit nerve impulses along nerve fibres
to other neurons. Neurons typically have a cell
body, axons and dendrites.
31. Cont…
Cell body- contains the nucleus, and cytoplasm
is the metabolic center of the neuron.
Dendrites- are short processing extending from
the cell body. They receive nerve impulses from
synapses of axons of other neuron and conduct
impulse towards the cell body.
Nerve axon- projects varing distances from the
cell body, raging from several micrometers to
more than a meter.its function is to carry nerve
impulses to other neurons.
32. Myelin- Many axons are wrapped by an insulating
substance called myelin, which is actually made from
glial cells. Myelin acts as insulation much like the
plastic or rubber that is used to insulate electrical
wires.
o There are gaps in the myelin covering of an axon.
Each gap is called a node of Ranvier.
Nerves are made up of bundles of nerve fibres, in
peripheral nervous system, electrochemical nerve
impulse are transmitted along each of the axons to
peripheral organs; in case of sensory nerves, from
the periphery back to central nervous system.
Neuroglia - also glial cells,
o carry out a variety of functions to aid and protect
components of the nervous system.
33. FUNCTIONS OF NERVOUS
SYSTEM:
Sensing the world
o Vision
o Hearing
o Smell
o Taste
o Touch
Transmitting information
Processing information
Receiving information about the environment around
us (sensation).
Generating responses to that information (motor
responses)
34. A. The nervous system based on function , can be
divided into 2-
a. Sensation (sensory functions) and
b. Response (motor functions).
B. The nervous system can be divided into 2 parts on
the basis of a functional difference in responses.
The somatic nervous system (SNS) is responsible
for conscious perception and voluntary motor
responses.
The autonomic nervous system (ANS) is
responsible for involuntary control of the body, usually
for the sake of homeostasis (regulation of the internal
35. INTRODUCTION
The purpose of neurological examination is to
determine the presence or absence of disease in the
nervous system.
A neurological examination is the assessment of
sensory neurons, and motor responses, especially
reflexes, to determine whether the nervous system is
impaired
Nurses are involve in examining the neurological and
physical status of the patient as part of the total
physical assessment.
36. GOALS OF NEUROLOGICAL
EXAMINATION-
To determine whether in fact neurological
dysfunction exists or not.
To identify which components of the neurological
system are affected – motor, sensory, cranial.
To locate the site of the problem
To generate the possible list of etiologies.
To document or screen of baseline function for
those who are otherwise healthy.
