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”.
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.

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.
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.

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.

The reasons for the formulation of a
pharmaceutical suspension:
when the drug is insoluble in the delivery vehicle
To mask the bitter taste of the drug
To increase drug stability
To achieve controlled/sustained drug release
5. 55
Suspension can improve chemical stability of certain drug.
E.g. Procaine penicillin G.
Ø Drug in suspension exhibits higher rate of
bioavailability than other dosage forms.
Solution > Suspension > Capsule > Compressed Tablet
> Coated tablet
Duration and onset of action can be controlled.
E.g. Protamine Zinc-Insulin suspension.
Suspension can mask the unpleasant/ bitter taste of drug.
E.g. Chloramphenicol
BENIFITS
6. 66
Physical stability , sedimentation and compaction can
causes problems.
Ø It is bulky sufficient care must be taken during
handling and
Ø transport.
Ø It is difficult to formulate.
Ø Uniform and accurate dose can not be
achieved unless suspension are packed in unit
dosage form.
LIMITATIONS
7. 77
Ø The suspended particles should not settle rapidly and
sediment produced, must be easily re-suspended by the use
of moderate amount of shaking.
Ø It should be easy to pour yet not watery and no grittiness.
Ø It should have pleasing odour , colour and palatability.
Ø Good syringeability.
Ø It should be physically,chemically and microbiologically
stable.
Ø Parenteral /Ophthalmic suspension should be sterilizable.

• The term "Disperse System" refers
to a system in which one substance
(The Dispersed Phase) is
distributed, in discrete units,
throughout a second substance (the
continuous Phase ).
• Suspensions are heterogenous
system consisting of 2 phases.

DISPERSE SYSTEM
10. 1010
A solid in liquid dispersion, in which the
particle size is more than colloidal size.
DISPERSE SYSTEM
DISPERSION MEDIUM DISPERSED PHASE
oAqueous / oily liquid oInsoluble solid
11. 1111
Definition
Ø A Pharmaceutical suspension is a coarse dispersion in
which internal phase (therapeutically active
ingredient)is dispersed uniformly throughout the
external phase.
12. 12
Ø The internal phase consisting of
insoluble solid particles having a range
of size(0.5 to 5 microns) which is
maintained uniformly through out the
suspending vehicle with aid of single
or combination of suspending agent.
Ø The external phase (suspending
medium) is generally aqueous in some
instance, may be an organic or oily
liquid for non oral use.
12
13. 13
Classification
•Based On rout of administration
Oral suspension
Externally applied suspension
Parenteral suspension
• Based On Electrokinetic Nature Of
Solid Particles
Flocculated suspension
Deflocculated suspension
14. 14
14
In flocculated suspension, formed flocs (loose
aggregates) will cause increase in sedimentation
rate due to increase in size of sedimenting particles.
Ø Hence, flocculated suspensions sediment more
rapidly.
Ø Here, the sedimentation depends not only on the
size of the flocs but also on the porosity of flocs.
Deflocculation and flocculation
(Flocculated Suspensions)
15. 1515
Deflocculated suspensions
Ø In deflocculated suspension, individual
particles are settling.
Ø Rate of sedimentation is slow , which
prevents entrapping of liquid medium which
makes it difficult to re-disperse by agitation.
Ø This phenomenon called ‘caking’ or
‘claying’.
Ø In deflocculated suspension larger particles
settle fast and smaller remain in supernatant
liquid so supernatant appears cloudy.
16. 16
Theory of Suspensions
• Sedimentation Behaviour
• Sedimentation means settling of particle or
floccules under gravitational force in liquid
dosage form.
• Velocity of sedimentation expressed by
Stokes Equation
16
17. • Where, vsed. = sedimentation velocity in cm / sec
• d = diameter of particle
• ρ s= density of disperse phase
• ρ o= density of disperse media
• g = acceleration due to gravity
• η = viscosity of disperse medium in poise
Stokes Equation
17
18. 18
Limitation of Stoke’s Equation .
Stoke's equation applies only to:
Spherical particles in a very dilute suspension
(0.5 to 2 gm per 100 ml)
Ø Particles which freely settle without collision .
Ø Particles with no physical or chemical
attraction.
19. 1919
Sedimentation Parameters
Sedimentation volume (F) or height
(H) for flocculated suspensions:
Definition:
Sedimentation volume is a ratio of the
ultimate volume of sediment (Vu) to the
original volume of sediment (Vo)
before settling.
F = Vu / Vo
Where,
Vu = final or ultimate volume of sediment
Vo = original volume of suspension before settling
20. 2020
F has values ranging from less than one to greater
than one.
When F < 1 Vu < Vo
When F =1 Vu = Vo
The system is in flocculated equilibrium and show no
clear supernatant on standing.
When F > 1 Vu > Vo
Sediment volume is greater than the original volume
due to the network of flocs formed in the suspension
and so loose and fluffy sediment
21. 2121
The sedimentation volume gives only a qualitative
account of flocculation.
Fig : Suspensions quantified by sedimentation
volume (f)
22. 2222
Degree of flocculation (β)
It is the ratio of the sedimentation volume of
the flocculated suspension ,F , to the
sedimentation volume of the deflocculated
suspension, F∞
ß = F / F∞
(Vu/Vo) flocculated
ß = --------------------
(Vu/Vo) deflocculated
Ø The minimum value of ß is 1,when
flocculated suspension sedimentation
volume is equal to the sedimentation
volume of deflocculated suspension.
23. 2323
.
Brownian Movement
Brownian movement of particle prevents
sedimentation by keeping the dispersed material in
random motion.
Ø Brownian movement depends on the density of
dispersed phase and the density and viscosity of
the disperse medium.
Ø The kinetic bombardment of the particles by the
molecules of the suspending medium will keep the
particles suspending, provided that their size is below
critical radius (r).
24. 2424
Electro kinetic Properties
The zeta potential is defined as the difference in
potential between the surface of the tightly bound layer
(shear plane) and electro-neutral region of the solution.
25. 2525
Ø Zeta potential has practical application in stability
of systems containing dispersed particles .
Ø If the zeta potential is reduced below a certain
value, the attractive forces exceed the repulsive
forces, and the particles come together.
Ø This phenomenon is known as flocculation
Ø The flocculated suspension is one in which zeta
potential of particle is -20 to +20 mV
Ø Thus the phenomenon of flocculation and
deflocculation depends on zeta potential carried
by particles.
26. 2626
Ø The formulation of a suspension depends on
whether the suspension is flocculated or deflocculated.
Ø Three approaches are commonly involved
1. Use of structured vehicle
2. Use of controlled flocculation
3. Combination of both of the methods
:FORMULATION OF SUSPENSIONS
27. 2727
Ø Structured vehicles called also thickening or
suspending agents.
Ø They are aqueous solutions of natural and synthetic
gums.
Ø It is applicable only to deflocculated suspensions.
E.g. methyl cellulose, sodium carboxy methyl
cellulose,
acacia, gelatin and tragacanth.
Ø These structured vehicles entrapped the particle and
reduces the sedimentation of particles.
Ø Thus, the use of deflocculated particles in a structure
vehicle may form solid hard cake upon long storage.
Ø Structured vehicle is not useful for Parenteral
suspension because they may create problem in
syringeability due to high viscosity.
Structured vehicle
30. Viscosity is a measure of a fluid's
resistance to flow.
It describes the internal friction of a
moving fluid.
A fluid with large viscosity resists motion
because its molecular makeup gives it a
lot of internal friction.
A fluid with low viscosity flows easily
because its molecular makeup results in
very little friction when it is in motion.
31. 31
Suspending agent are also known as hydrophilic
colloids which form colloidal dispersion with Water
and increase the viscosity of the continous phase.
Ø Suspending agent form film around particle and
decrease interparticle attraction.
Ø Most suspending agents perform two functions
i.e. besides acting as a suspending agent
they also imparts viscosity to the solution.
1) Suspending agents
Ø Preferred suspending agents are those that give
thixotropy to the media such as Xanthan gum,
Carageenan
Eg. Methylcellulose, Hydroxyethylcellulose,
Carboxymethylcellulose, Microcrystalline cellulose, Acacia,
Tragacanth, Carbomer, Gelatin
32. SURFACE TENSION
"Surface tension is a contractive
tendency of the surface of a fluid
that allows it to resist an external
force."
33. FORMULA USED TO CALCULATE SURFACE
TENSION :-
Where,
Where, γ = surface tension
θ = contact angle
ρ = density
g = acceleration due to gravity
r = radius of tube

Hydrophilic materials are easily wetted by water while
hydrophobic materials are not.
Ø However hydrophobic materials are not easily
wetted by Water (polar liquids)
Ø The extent of wetting by water is dependent on the
hydrophillicity of the materials.
Ø If the material is hydrophobic then it is difficulty to
wet by water.
2) Wetting Agents
36. 3636
.
Surfactants decrease the interfacial tension between
drug particles and liquid thus liquid is penetrated in
the pores of drug particle displacing air from them and
thus ensures wetting.
Ø Generally, we use non-ionic surfactants
Ø Polysorbate 80 is most widely used due to its
following advantages
§ It is non-ionic so no change in pH of
medium
§ No toxicity. Safe for internal use.
3) Surfactants
37. 3737
The commonly used solvents used are glycerin,
polyethylene glycol and polypropylene glycol.
Ø The mechanism by which they provide wetting is that
they are miscible with water and reduce liquid air
interfacial tension.
Ø Liquid penetrates in individual particle and facilitates
wetting.
4) Solvents
38. 3838
They are added to produce osmotic pressure
comparable to biological fluids when suspension is
to be intended for ophthalmic or injectable preparation.
Ø Most commonly used osmotic agents are
Ø dextrose,
Ø mannitol
Ø sorbitol.
Ø sodium chloride,
Ø sodium sulfate
Ø glycerol.
5) Osmotic Agents
39. 3939
Ø Naturally occurring suspending agents such as
tragacanth, acacia,
xanthan gum are susceptible to microbial
contamination.
Ø This leads to:
§ loss in suspending activity of suspending
agents,
§ loss of color, flavor and odor,
§ change in elegance etc.
6) Preservatives
41. 4141
Ø They are added to increase patient acceptance.
Ø Only sweetening agent are not capable of
complete taste masking of unpleasant drugs therefore,
a flavoring agents are incorporated
Ø E.g.
7) Flavoring And Coloring Agents
Mint Ginger Sarsaparilla
syrup
Anise oil Glucose Spearmint oil
Benzaldehyde Glycerin Thyme oil
42. 4242
Colors are obtained from natural or synthetic sources.
Ø Plant colors are most widely used for oral suspension.
Ø The synthetic dyes should be used within range
of( 0.0005 % to 0.001%)
Ø Color aids in identification of the product.
Ø Brilliant blue (blue)
Ø Indigo carmine(blue)
Ø Amaranth (red)
Ø Tartarazine (yellow)
8) Coloring agents
43. 4343
They are used for taste masking of bitter
drug particles.
Bulk sweeteners
Sugars such as Sucrose, xylose, ribose, glucose,
mannose.
Sugar alcohols such as sorbitol, xylitol, mannitol
A bulk sweeteners is used at concentration
of 15-70 %
Artificial sweetening agents
Sodium cyclamate, Sodium saccharin, Aspartame
9) Sweetening Agents
44. 4444
Humectants absorb moisture and prevent
degradation of API by moisture.
Ø Examples of humectants most commonly used in
suspensions are propylene glycol , glycerol
Ø Total quantity of humectants should be
between 0-10 % w/w.
10) Humectants
45. 4545
Ascorbic acid derivatives such as ascorbic acid,
erythorbic acid,
Ø Thiol derivatives such as thio glycerol, cytosine,
acetylcysteine,
Ø
Ø Tocopherols
Ø Butylated hydroxy anisole(BHA)
Ø Butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT)
Ø Sodium bi sulfite,
Ø Sodium sulfateacetone
