The placenta provides nutrition and oxygen to the fetus and removes waste. It has both fetal and maternal components that form during embryology. A clinical assessment of the placenta after delivery examines characteristics like size, color, thickness, blood clots, completeness and the umbilical cord properties. Abnormal findings could indicate issues like fetal growth problems, infections, or bleeding that provide important health information for the mother and baby. The placenta should be submitted for further analysis if any abnormalities are detected.
Majority of fetal deaths occur in the antepartum period.
There is progressive decline in maternal deaths all over the world. Currently more interest is focused to evaluate the fetal health. The primary objective of antenatal assessment is to avoid fetal death.

The female pelvis is ideal for childbearing. Complete knowledge on it helps a obstetrician or midwife to conduct normal labour as well as detect any abnormalities related to abnormal pelvis.
Fourth stage of labor: The hour or two after delivery when the tone of the uterus is reestablished as the uterus contracts again, expelling any remaining contents. These contractions are hastened by breastfeeding, which stimulates production of the hormone oxytocin.
Cord prolapse is a frightening and life-threatening event that occurs in labor. Rapid identification and immediate appropriate response may well save the life of a neonate. Therefore, clinicians should be knowledgeable in its recognition and management.
A serious pregnancy complication in which the placenta detaches from the womb (uterus).
Placental abruption occurs when the placenta detaches from the inner wall of the womb before delivery. The condition can deprive the baby of oxygen and nutrients.
Symptoms include vaginal bleeding, stomach pain and back pain in the last 12 weeks of pregnancy.
Depending on the degree of placental separation and how close the baby is to full-term, treatment may include bed rest or a Caesarean (C-section).

Childbirth, labour, delivery, birth, partus, or parturition is the culmination of a pregnancy period with the expulsion of one or more newborn infants from a woman's uterus. The process of normal childbirth is categorized in three stages of labour: the shortening and dilation of the cervix, descent and birth of the infant, and birth of the placenta.

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.

Placenta examination
1. PLACENTACLINICAL ASSESSMENT.
By : Sir, MkangiSospeter.
University of Dodoma-Tanzania
College of health sciencies-CoHS
School of Nursing and public health
2. Introduction
•Placenta is derived from the Greek word, plakuos, meaning flat cake and this reflects its typical appearance.
•Placentais a foetalorgan of pregnancy, which is responsible for providing nutrition and oxygen to the foetusas well as excretory functions.
3. Embryology
•Placenta is formed by foetaland maternal components
•Maternal component -deciduaplacentalisis the inner portion of the placenta, which is formed by trophoblasticinvasion of endometrium
•Fetal component -chorionfrondosumis formed by an arterial plexus (branches of umbilical artery), protruding into intervillousspaces as chorionic villi
4. Gross anatomy
•The placenta normally lies along the anterior or posterior wall of uterus and may extend to lateral wall with increasing gestational age .
•The term placenta weighs ~470g to 500g and measures ~22cm in diameter with a thickness of 2.0-2.5cm 3.
•Placental thickness is usually directly proportional to gestation age, to the extent that it can often predict the gestation weeks (e.g. 21 mm thickness at 21 weeks gestation).
5. Examination of the Placenta
•A one-minute examination of the placenta performed in the delivery room provides information that may be important to the care of both mother and infant.
•The findings of this assessment should be documented in the delivery records.
•During the examination, the size, shape, consistency and completeness of the placenta should be determined, and the presence of accessory lobes, hemorrhage, tumors and nodules should be noted
6. •The umbilical cord should be assessed for length, insertion, number of vessels, thromboses, knots and the presence of Wharton's jelly.
•The color, luster and odor of the fetal membranes should be evaluated, and the membranes should be examined for the presence of large (velamentous) vessels
7. •Tissue may be retained because of abnormal lobationof the placenta or because of placenta accreta.
•Numerous common and uncommon findings of the placenta, umbilical cord and membranes are associated with abnormal fetal development and perinatalmorbidity.
•The placenta should be submitted for pathologic evaluation if an abnormality is detected or certain indications are present.
8. Clinical Characteristics of the Normal Placenta
•A fresh, term, healthy placenta is approximately 15 – 20 cm in diameter, 2.0 to 2.5 cm thick and height ranges between 40 -60cm. It generally weighs approximately 5-600gms (1/6 of the baby’s birth weight)
•The maternal surface of the placenta should be dark maroon in colourand should consist of around 20 cotyledons. The structure should appear complete, with no missing cotyledons.
•The fetal surface of the placenta should be shiny, gray and translucent enough that the color of the underlying maroon villous tissue may be seen.
9. •The normal cord contains two arteries and one vein. During the placental examination, the delivering physician should count the vessels in either the middle third of the cord or the fetal third of the cord, because the arteries are sometimes fused near the placenta and are therefore difficult to differentiate.
•Fetal membranes are usually gray, wrinkled, shiny and translucent.It consist of two layers; the amnion and the chorion
10. Procedure: examination of the placenta
•Explain the procedure to the parents and ask if they wish to observe.
•Ensure that there is adequate lighting to check the placenta. If the lighting in the delivery room is dim, it is advised that the placenta is examined in an alternative location where there is adequate lighting
•Prepare a flat surface with protection to avoid blood spillage.
•Prepare syringe and needle if cord samples are required
•Wearing an apron and gloves lay the placenta fetal side uppermost, noting the size, shape, smell and colour.
•Examine the cord, noting the length, insertion point and presence of true knots orthrombi.
11. •Inspect the umbilical cord vessels at the cut end at the furthest point from the placenta as the arteries can be fused around the insertion site making it difficult to differentiate them.
•Observe the fetal side for irregularities such as succenturatelobes, missing cotyledons, fatty deposits or infarctions
•Lift the placenta up by the cord, by doing this the membranes can be observed for completeness. There is usually a single hole where the baby passes through the membranes
•Return the placenta to the surface and spread out the membranes to look for extra vessels, lobes or holes in the surface. Separate the amnion from the chorionby pulling the amnion back over the base of the umbilical cord to ensure both are present.
12. •Turn the placenta over to inspect the maternal surface.
•Examine the cotyledons, ensuring all are present, noting the size and any areas of infarction, blood clots or calcification. Retain the clots to make an accurate assessment of blood loss.
•The lobes of a complete placenta fit neatly together without any gaps with the edges forming a uniform circle. Broken fragments of cotyledon should be carefully replaced before making an accurate assessment. e.g. succenturatelobes, missing cotyledons, fatty deposits or infarctions.
13. •Where there is suspicion that the placenta and/or membranes are incomplete, they should be kept for further inspection and referred to the duty obstetrician.
•Inform the mother of your findings
•Complete documentation in the woman’s health care record.
14. Interpretations
Placental Size:
•Placentas less than 2.5 cm thick are associated with intrauterine growth retardation of the fetus.
•Placentas more than 4 cm thick have an association with maternal diabetes mellitus, fetal hydropsand intrauterine fetal infections
15. Placental Consistency and Surfaces
A: Maternal Surface. In a term infant without anemia, the maternal surface of the placenta should be dark maroon. In a premature infant, the placenta is lighter in color.
•Pallor of the maternal surface indicates the presence of fetal anemia, which may be a sign of hemorrhage. With prompt recognition of fetal hemorrhage (such as occurs in vasaprevia), lifesaving transfusion can be performed.
•Clots on the maternal surface, particularly adherent centrally located clots, may represent placental abruption.
B: Fetal Surface. A thick ring of membranes on the fetal surface of the placenta may represent a circumvallateplacenta which is associated with prematurity, prenatal bleeding, abruption, multiparityand early fluid loss. A similar but thinner ring of membrane tissue represents a circummarginateplacenta
16. Umbilical Cord
•While opinions of authorities differ with regard to the limits of normal for cord length, 40 to 70 cm would appear to be a reasonable range. A short cord is associated with a less active fetus, fetal malformations, myopathicand neuropathic diseases, Down syndrome and oligohydramnios.
•Short cords may result in cord rupture, hemorrhage and stricture. Cords of insufficient length may also result in breech and other fetal malpresentations, a prolonged second stage of labor, abruption and uterine inversion.
•The umbilical cord may become excessively long because of fetal hyperkinesis. Long cords are associated with entanglements, torsion, knots and thromboses.
17. Cord Vessels
•The umbilical cord typically contains two arteries and a single vein. If only one artery and one vein are grossly visible, the fetal anomaly rate is nearly 50 percent. These anomalies may affect the cardiovascular, genitourinary or gastrointestinal system, and other systems as well.
Free Fetal Membranes
•Fetal membranes should be thin, gray and glistening. Thick, dull, discolored or foul-smelling membranes indicate the possibility of infection.
•The nature of the odor may provide a clue to the infecting organism: a fecal odor may indicate Fusobacteriumor Bacteroides, while a sweet odor may indicate Clostridium or Listeria
