Character Study of Vladimir and EstragonMital Raval
The document provides background on Samuel Beckett and his play Waiting for Godot. It summarizes that the play features two main characters, Vladimir and Estragon, who wait under a tree for a man named Godot to arrive but he never does. Vladimir is more intellectual and stable while Estragon is forgetful and dependent on Vladimir. Their relationship represents the interdependence of body and soul. Symbols like Vladimir's hat represent the mind while Estragon's boots symbolize the physical. The characters can be seen as modern tramps, wandering with no fixed home or purpose other than to wait endlessly.
Fra Filippo Lippi was an Italian painter active in the 1430s-1460s. In the 1430s, he painted frescoes for the Carmelite Order and an altarpiece in Empoli. In 1432, he left the Carmelite convent permanently. By 1437, he had signed and dated the Tarquinia Madonna in Florence and received an important commission for the Barbadori chapel. In the 1440s, he received papal support and commissions from the Medici and the Signoria. His Annunciation in San Lorenzo utilized the church's architecture. In the 1450s, he created the celebrated Pitti Tondo and frescoed the Prato Cathedral choir

The Potrayal of Death in Philip Larkin's PoetryS M Firoz Alam
Philip Larkin viewed death as an inevitable and frightening prospect. In his poetry, death is depicted as "unpreventable," "permanent and blank and true," and "the sure extinction that we travel to." Religion provides only an illusory way of avoiding death, as "in fact, nothing can ensure a life hereafter." Rationality and courage also cannot defeat the dread of death. Larkin sought to capture death through bleak attributes like "unresting," "the anesthetic from which none come round," and "the total emptiness." While death makes life seem absurd, Larkin also felt some human acts like love could provide immortality.

Robert Frost was one of America's most famous 20th century poets. He published his work in several collections including A Boy's Will (1913), North of Boston (1914), and New Hampshire (1923). Frost wrote extensively about nature and rural life in New England. His poems often used intricate rhyme schemes and explored philosophical themes. Some of his most well known poems are "The Road Not Taken," "Stopping by Woods on a Winter Evening," and "Fire and Ice." Frost received numerous honors including four Pulitzer Prizes for his influential poetry.
This document defines poetry and explores its key elements and genres. It begins by explaining that poetry uses language for its aesthetic and evocative qualities to potentially expand the literal meaning of words. It then discusses the origins of poetry in ancient oral traditions and epic poems. The genres of narrative, epic, dramatic, satirical and lyric poetry are outlined. The document dives into the basic elements of poetry, including rhythm, meter, rhyme, theme, symbolism, alliteration and figures of speech. It defines poetic terms like stanza, couplet, tercet and quatrain.
This poem parodies Andrew Marvell's "To His Coy Mistress" by having the mistress respond to the speaker's advances. She questions his logic and wordplay, finding flaws in his arguments for intimacy. While he continues with metaphorical seduction techniques, she asserts her independence and skepticism towards his desires, ultimately rejecting his proposal in favor of calling a taxi.
W.H. Auden's poem "O What Is That Sound" discusses the themes of war, human nature, and the difference between appearance and reality. Written in 1932, the ballad form poem describes a married couple hearing marching in the distance on a morning, which they realize are approaching soldiers. While the couple speaks endearingly, when danger arrives from the soldiers, the husband abandons his wife, highlighting how individuals prioritize their own survival over relationships in life-threatening situations. Through repetition, rhetorical questions, and other literary devices, Auden conveys a universal message about the devastating effects of war regardless of time period.

The thought structure is made up of three quatrains describing an idea or situation, followed by a concluding couplet. Examples are provided of sonnets 18 and 30 by Shakespeare to illustrate the rhyme scheme, meter, and thought structure.
The document discusses the characteristics of an epic poem and defines what a mock heroic poem is. It provides context that Alexander Pope's poem "The Rape of the Lock" is considered a mock heroic poem, as it imitates the style of an epic to satirize a trivial subject - a social slight involving the cutting of a woman's hair lock. A mock heroic poem uses the formal conventions of an epic, such as invocations to gods and long descriptive passages, but applies them to everyday or mundane subjects in an exaggerated and humorous way.
Theme of appearance and reality in Oedipus RexUmmara Zulfiqar
Oedipus Rex by Sophocles explores the theme of appearance versus reality. Oedipus believes himself to be the son of Polybus and Merope and ruler of Thebes, unaware that in reality he has killed his father Laius and married his mother Jocasta. Throughout the play, Oedipus clings to appearances over realities that threaten his sense of self. When the truth is revealed, it shatters Oedipus' world and leads to his downfall, demonstrating how one can be blinded by appearances.

Our perception is influenced by expectations, language, and interpretation. We adjust how we perceive things and use context to resolve ambiguity. However, perception is limited by our biology and neurobiology. For example, we cannot perceive things that happen very fast or slow, or we may have conditions like visual agnosia that limit recognition.
The document provides an overview of how to examine the 12 cranial nerves. It describes the anatomy and function of each nerve, as well as how to test each nerve clinically. For example, it explains that cranial nerve 2 controls vision and its examination involves testing visual acuity, visual fields, and fundoscopy. It then provides examples of abnormal findings on cranial nerve examinations, such as a right hemianopia found on testing a patient's visual fields.
This document discusses anencephaly, a neural tube defect characterized by the absence of the cranial vault, cerebral hemispheres, and diencephalic structures. These structures are replaced by a flattened, amorphous vascular-neural mass called the area cerebrovasculosa. Early detection of anencephaly can be attempted via ultrasound as early as 14 weeks gestation by assessing the frontal bones, but diagnosis should not be made before 10 weeks. The outcome of anencephaly is always fatal and termination is offered.

This document provides an introduction to the psychology of seeing and perception. It discusses how the eye and brain work together to transform retinal images into perceptions of three-dimensional objects in the world. While the eye functions somewhat like a camera, the brain's role in perception goes far beyond merely processing images. The brain actively organizes sensory data to perceive objects, even when stimuli are ambiguous. It draws on past experiences and knowledge to interpret patterns of light. Understanding these perceptual processes can explain visual illusions and how the same retinal image can result in different perceptions of objects and their positions in space.

This document discusses the concepts of judgment and proposition in logic. It defines judgment as a mental act of affirming or denying a relationship between two concepts. A proposition is the verbal expression of a judgment. Judgments can be categorical or hypothetical. Categorical propositions relate two terms and can be affirmative or negative. A valid judgment requires thorough understanding of concepts and an objective perception of their relationship. Reasoning involves making inferences, deducing conclusions from premises through immediate or mediate logic. Deductive reasoning proceeds from universal to particular while inductive reasoning proceeds from particular to universal. A categorical syllogism is a three-part argument using deductive reasoning with three terms and two premises leading to a conclusion.
The oculomotor nerve arises from nuclei in the midbrain and controls most eye movements and the constriction of pupils. It has superior and inferior branches that innervate specific extraocular muscles. Damage to the oculomotor nerve can be detected by observing eye movements and pupils in response to light during a clinical examination.
The document provides an overview of key concepts in sensation and perception. It discusses the basic principles of sensation including thresholds, adaptation and psychophysics. It then examines the senses of vision, hearing, touch, taste, smell and movement. For vision it explores light characteristics, the eye anatomy, visual processing and color vision. For hearing it covers sound characteristics, ear anatomy, theories of audition and localization of sounds. It emphasizes that sensation and perception involve both bottom-up and top-down processing to construct representations of the external world.

2. It provides examples from the Quran that encourage independent and critical thinking, hypothesis testing through experimentation, and using evidence to build knowledge.
3. The key message is that the Quran advocated the core principles of scientific research long ago by instructing humans to observe nature, reflect on observations, and document findings.
The document discusses sensation and perception, explaining that sensation is the detection of physical stimuli from the environment which is converted into neural signals, while perception involves selecting, organizing, and interpreting sensations. It covers topics like perceptual interpretation, information processing in the visual cortex, visual perception principles like figure-ground and Gestalt principles, and how perception involves both bottom-up sensory processing and top-down cognitive processes.
The document provides an overview of the 12 cranial nerves, their functions, and potential disorders. It focuses on describing Cranial Nerves I-III in detail:
Cranial Nerve I (Olfactory) is responsible for smell. Anosmia is the loss of sense of smell.
Cranial Nerve II (Optic) is responsible for vision. Disorders include myopia, amblyopia, presbyopia, and color blindness.
Cranial Nerve III (Occulomotor) controls extraocular eye movements and the pupil.
This document provides information about the 4th cranial nerve (trochlear nerve) palsy, including its anatomy, causes, features, and tests used for diagnosis. It notes that the 4th nerve is the longest and thinnest cranial nerve, and is the only one that crosses sides and innervates the superior oblique muscle. Common causes of isolated 4th nerve palsy include congenital issues, trauma, idiopathic cases, and sometimes vascular or neurological conditions. Features include diplopia worse on downward gaze, hypertropia of the affected eye, and compensatory head posture toward the opposite side from the palsy. Tests like Parks-Bielschowsky and double
The document provides information about the 12 cranial nerves, including:
- There are 12 pairs of cranial nerves that arise from the brain and relay sensory/motor information.
- The first cranial nerve is the olfactory nerve, which is responsible for smell. The second is the optic nerve, which relays visual information.
- Later cranial nerves control eye movement, facial expressions, hearing/balance, swallowing, heart rate and other functions.
- Mnemonics are provided to help remember the cranial nerve numbers, functions and pathways. Videos and websites are also listed as learning resources.
The document summarizes key concepts in sensation and perception including the five senses and how they work. It discusses vision, hearing, smell, taste, and touch. Key topics covered include light and color, the eye, sound waves and hearing, taste buds, and pressure receptors in the skin. Visual illusions and constancies are also summarized.
The document discusses the cranial nerves. It notes that there are 12 pairs of cranial nerves, with 10 pairs attached to the brain stem and 2 attached to the cerebrum. It provides details on the names, functions and lesions associated with some of the main cranial nerves including:
- Olfactory nerve - Special sensory, provides smell
- Optic nerve - Special sensory, provides vision
- Oculomotor nerve - Motor and parasympathetic, controls eye movements and pupil constriction
- Trigeminal nerve - Mixed nerve with sensory, motor and parasympathetic functions including face sensation and muscles of mastication.
Sensation is the detection of a stimulus by the senses, while perception is the interpretation of sensory information. Sensory receptors detect physical stimuli and transmit neural signals to the brain for perception. The brain integrates sensory information to form a conscious experience and interpretation of the environment. Perception involves both bottom-up processing of sensory data and top-down effects of memory and experience. Various perceptual illusions demonstrate how perception does not always accurately reflect objective reality.

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying ThemAggregage
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:

• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs
