The document discusses the anatomy and function of the human ear. It describes the three main parts of the ear - the outer, middle, and inner ear. The outer ear collects sound waves and directs them through the auditory canal to the eardrum. The middle ear contains three small bones that transmit vibrations from the eardrum to the inner ear. The inner ear contains the cochlea for hearing and semicircular canals for balance. It also discusses common ear ailments like infections and deafness. Proper ear care is outlined, and the story of Helen Keller is summarized as an example of overcoming challenges without senses of sight and hearing.

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.

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.

Ppt gr.3 ears
1.
2.
3. What do you hear?
• Did you hear something? Maybe the sound
you heard was as quiet as your cat licking
her paws. Or maybe it was loud, like a
siren going by.
• Sounds are everywhere, and you have two
cool parts on your body that let you hear
them all: your ears!
• No matter where we go, sound waves are
all around us.
4. Human ear
• It has two
functions
- one is hearing
- maintaining the
balance of the
body or
equilibrium
6. 1. Outer ear
– collects sound waves and sends them to the middle ear. It is
the visible part of the ear.
a. PINNA OR AURICLE
- it is a flap of skin supported by the cartilage. It is a
curved a part of the ear attached to the head, its shape
makes it efficient in collecting and capturing sound waves
- the soft tissue that hangs from the lower part of the
auricle is the earlobe
7. b.
1. Outer ear
EXTERNAL AUDITORY CANAL
- serves as passageway of sound waves
into the ear. It is composed of glands which secrete
earwax. This waxy substance traps dust and other
foreign bodies to prevent them from reaching the
middle ear. The sound waves that pass through the
auditory canal go to the eardrum
8. 1. Outer ear
c. TYMPANIC MEMBRANE
( anterior eardrum)
- separates the outer ear from the
middle ear at the end of the auditory
canal that is very sensitive to sounds.
9. 2. Middle ear
- is a hollow air-filled cavity, consists of
the posterior and the three little bones:
hammer, anvil, and stirrup.it is also
situated in the middle ear the eustachian
tube
10. 2. Middle Ear
a.Tympanic membrane- causes the
eardrum to vibrate when sound come in
through auditory canal. is is the vibration
that sends sound waves deeper into the
ear.
11. 2. Middle Ear
b.The three tiniest bones of the body
a. Hammer- attached to the eardrum
b. anvil – connects the hammer to the
stirrup
c. stirrup – connected to the oval window
12. 3. Inner ear
– consists of the
cochlea and the
semicircular canals ,
located in the skull
13. 3. Inner ear
a. Cochlea – a tube shaped like a shell of a snail which
consists of coiled, liquid-filled tubes that are
separated from one another by membranes. Lining
of the membranes are specialized hair cells that are
sensitive to vibration. It contains actual organ of
hearing called organ of corti. That receives the
sound waves and transmit them to the brain
14. 3. Inner ear
b. semi-circular canal – enable the body to
maintain balance, consists of three
interconnected loop-shaped tubes at right
angles to one another, these canals contain
fluid and hairlike projections that detect
changes in body positions
15. 3. Inner ear
c. Auditory nerve –
responsible in sending
message to the brain
16. How does the ear work?
Sound waves are sent.
The outer ear “catches the sound waves”.
The middle ear takes the sound waves and “vibrates”
the eardrum.
The inner ear sends the messages to the brain.
Middle Ear
Outer Ear
Sound Waves
Inner Ear
The brain puts it together and hooray! You hear your
favorite song on the radio.

18. Common (middle or outer ear )
Ailments
1. EAR INFECTIONS –
Symptoms high fever, abscess, and loss
of hearing. A milky discharge with
unpleasant odor comes out of the ear,
sever pain in the ear.
19. Common Ailments
2. EAR BOIL – an infection on the outer
ear characterized by infection and
swelling , caused by impacted teeth,
ear wax, sinusitis, or prolonged
exposure to loud noise.
20. Common Ailments
3. DEAFNESS – loss of hearing
- it is the result of an injury in the inner ear.
When the eardrum breaks , the person may
become partially or totally deaf.
OTOLARYNGONOLOGISTS – a trained doctors
who treat diseases of ear 9inflammation,
infection, or allergic condition)
21. Proper Care for the ears
1. Clean your outer ear with a clean washcloth.
2. Do not use your fingers, hairpins, or
toothpicks in removing earwax,
3. Never put any pointed object like a pencil or
ballpen into your ear.
22. Proper care for the
ears allow anybody to shout into your ear.
4. Do not
Strong force of the air that may enter your ear can
press too hard on your eardrum and break it.
5. Turn down the volume of appliances.
6. Avoid blows and bumps on your head, especially
near the ear, these can injure eardrum.
23. Proper Care for the ears
7. Do not blow your nose too hard. This can cause
germs from your throat to go up the Eustachian
tube to your ears.
8. When swimming or diving , protect the eardrums
by wearing a cap or using earplugs.
9. Any ear problem should be consulted to a doctor

25. Helen Keller Story
People who have lost one or more of their
senses can succeed in life. Perhaps the most
famous case of a physically challenged
person who succeeded is that of Helen
Keller who was born normal child in 1880.
26. Helen Keller
Before she was two, an illness deprived her
of her sight and hearing. Ann Sullivan , a
special teacher , created a bond between
Helen and the world through the little
girl’s sense of touch . Helen could “hear “
Ann by placing her hand over her
teacher’s lips.
27. Helendegree, became a
Keller
She earned a college
writer, and was honored by famous
people such as Alexander Graham Bell
and Eleanor Roosevelt . She toured the
world , giving hope to deaf and blind
people.
