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.

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.
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.

18. FLORAL BIOLOGY
Dioecious papaya produces male and female flowers separately on different plants
while gynodioecious produces both male and female flowers on the same plant.
Anther dehiscence was completed within 18-36 hours before the flowers opened
and the stigma becomes receptive a day before the flowers opened remaining
receptive for 6 days.
The peak anthesis observed between 5-6 am. The receptivity of stigma was found
on day of anthesis and remains receptive for 6 days.
Three types of flowers ;
o Female
o Male
o Hermophrodite
Staminate- show sex reversal in different Environmental conditions
Hermophrodite- show sex reversal in different Environmental conditions
Pistillate- highly stable.
devrajrpd@gmail.com 18
19. Storey (1958) reported 8 categories of flowers in papaya(morphological/sex
forms).
•Staminate- produed by male plant.
•Tetralogical staminate- produced by sex reversing male plants.
•Reduced elongata-produced by hermophodite plants.
•Elongata- produced by hermoprodite plnts(referred to as normal bisexual
flower)
•Carpelloid elongata- produced by hermophodite plants.
•Pentandria- produced by hermophodite plants.
•Carpelloid pentandria- produced by hermophodite plants.
•Pistillate- produced by female plants.

22. Fig. : Papaya hermaphrodite plant with fruits
devrajrpd@gmail.com 22
23. Propagation
Sexual Method -propagated by seeds.
• Wash the seeds and remove then gelatinous covering as this can inhibit germination.
• Seed treated with Thiourea (100-200 ppm) and Gibberellic acid (GA3 at 200
ppm) germinated better.
• Seed germinates in 2 weeks.
• Seedlings transplanted after 45-60 days .
Choice of the seed
• The seed selected from Hermaphrodite plant.
• Select the best trees in the plantation (color, yield, fruit shape, hermaphrodite).
• Cover the flowers with a bag once they form to ensure self- pollination and mark
these flowers. Seeds are collected them at maturity.
Seed rate :
250-300g/h(Gynodioecious) and 400-500g/h(Dioecious) (20 seeds/g).
Asexual method:
• tissue culture technique using MS media supplemented with NAA.
• Shoot tip culture from seedling and laterals buds from female plants of Coorg Honey Dew
variety was successful.
devrajrpd@gmail.com 23
24. Land preparation
• The land is ploughed and harrowed twice.
• An elevated plot along the row is made by ploughing on barring with two
passes on each side. This will ensure proper irrigation and drainage.
• Organic fertilizer and manure should be spread and incorporated in the soil
during land preparation.
• Land should be free from weeds before planting.
Planting density
1.8 m x 1.8 m = 3086 plants/ha for normally followed in most places.
1.25 m x 1.25 m = 6400 plants/ha for Pusa Nanha is best forHDP.
1.6 m x 1.6 m = 3906 plants/ha suitable for papain production.
A triangular 2 x 2 planting design can be adopted for non mechanized
cultivation, and 2 x 2 x 4 in double rows for mechanized cultivation.
devrajrpd@gmail.com 24
26. Irrigation
After transplanting, make sure the plants get adequate water every 2-3 days until they
are well established.
Water the papaya plants regularly especially when the climate is hot or dry to
prevent growth retardation, flower abortion and dropping of young fruits.
We can use method of drip irrigation for efficient use of water.
Papaya requires 12 gals on water per day.
Manuring and fertiliser application
The nutrition for papaya differs from other fruit crops because of its quick growth,
continuous fruiting habit and higher yield.
NPK:: 250:250:500 g/plant, FYM 10 Kg/plant (UHS,Bagalkot).
Apply 20 g in each of Azospirillum and Phosphobacterium at planting and again after
six months of planting.
Deficiency of lime,zinc and boron has often been observed in papaya orchards.
Spraying of 0.5% Zinc sulphate and one spray of Borax (0.1%) may be done depending
upon the nutrient status of soil.
devrajrpd@gmail.com 26
27. Weed control
weeds can reduce by 25% production.
Deep hoeing is recommended during first year to check weed growth.
We avoid herbicides as much as possible since they kill microorganism in the
soil that helps enhance decomposition of organic wastes into fertilizer and
plant food.
Application of Fluchloralin or Alachlorin or Butachlorine (2kg/ha) as pre-
emergence 2 months after transplanting can control all weeds for 4 months.
Intercropping
• Low-growing vegetables of short duration may be taken as inter-crops.
• An occasional thinning of fruits necessary to prevent overcrowding .
• Papaya also grows as filler or in plantations of other crops where spacing is
wide enough.
Removal of male plants
About 10% of the male plants are kept in the orchards for good pollination where
dioecious varieties are cultivated.
devrajrpd@gmail.com 27
28. Maturity indices
• It is a climacteric fruit, so it should be harvested at mature stage.
• Usually fruits are harvested when they are of full size, light green tinge of
yellow at epical end.
• We should harvest yellow green fruits as dark green fruits are not ripen.
• When the latex ceases to be milky and become watery, the fruits are suitable
for harvesting.
devrajrpd@gmail.com 28
29. Harvesting and yield
While picking fruits from the tree, care must be taken that they are not
scratched, and are free from blemishes, otherwise these are attacked by
fungus and start decaying during marketing.
On an average each plant of improved varieties bears 30-45 fruits,
weighing 40-75 kg in one fruiting season.
Average yield of 60-75 tons/ha may be
expected in a season.
devrajrpd@gmail.com 29
30. • Grading – For Easily Transportation and obtain higher
value grading is done in papaya
according to fruit size and skin appearance quality
• Grading is done by different grading machine and
grade size boxes.
• Packaging – Papaya fruit are Packed in corrugated
fibre board boxes and plastic crates.
• For local consumption, stored in single layer on straw.
• For distant market , packed in basket with straw.
• Sometimes wrapped in news paper
• Storage at : 10 oC-13 o C with Relative humidity 85-
90% for 1-3 weeks with proper handling.
• Ethaphon treatment 1000 ppm increase ripening
