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.

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 French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

How to Create Map Views in the Odoo 17 ERPCeline George
The map views are useful for providing a geographical representation of data. They allow users to visualize and analyze the data in a more intuitive manner.
2. DEFINIION :
▶Preformulation may be defined as a stage of the research
and development process where the preformulation
studies characterizes the physical and chemical
properties of a new drug substance in order to develop
stable safe and effective dosage form.
2
3. GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
▶ The goals of pre-formulation are:
1) To establish the physicochemical parameters of a new
drug substance.
2) To establish the physical characteristics of a new drug
substance .
3) To establish the kinetic rate profile of a new drug
substance.
4) To establish the compatibility of the new drug substance
with the common excipients
5) To choose the correct dosage form of a drug substance.
3
4. THE OBJECTIVES OF PRE-
FORMULATION ARE:
1) To develop elegant, stable, effective, and safe dosage
forms.
2) It is required to have an understanding of the physical
description of a drug substance before the development
of any dosage form.
3) Pre-formulation is the first step in rational
development of a dosage form of a drug substance
before the development of dosage form.

5. II) SOLUBILITY ANALYSIS:
a) Ionisation constant – pKa
b) pH solubility profile
c) Partition coefficient.
iii) Stability analysis:
a) Stability in toxicology formulations
b) Solution stability – pH rate profile
c) Solid state stability:
Bulk stability
Compatibility
6
7. II) BULK CHARACTERISATION:
a) Physical form
Crystallinity
Crystal habit & internal structure physicochemical property of
molecule of drug can affect bulk .
Crystal habit is description of outer appearance of crystal.
The internal structure is molecular arrangement within the
solid.Change with internal structure usually alters crystal habit.
Eg. Conversion of sodium salt to its free acid form produce both
change in internal structure & crystal habit.
9
9. DIFFERENT SHAPES OF
CRYSTALS
Depending on internal structure compounds is classified as
1. Crystalline
2. Amorphous
Crystalline compounds are characterized by repetitious spacing of
constituent atom or molecule in three dimensional .
In amorphous form atom or molecule are randomly placed.
Solubility & dissolution rate are greater for amorphous form than
crystalline, as amorphous form has higher thermodynamic energy.
Eg.Amorphous form of Novobiocin is well absorbed where as
crystalline form results in poor absorption.
11
10. POLYMORPHISM
The ability of a substance to exist in more than one crystalline form is
called as polymorphism.
There are two types of Polymorphism.
1) Enantiotropic Polymorphism
By altering the temperature or pressure is and changed into another in a
reversible manner called as enantiotropic Polymorphism.
e.g sulphur, acetazolamide.
2) Monotropic Polymorphism: Under all the conditions of temperature and
pressure the monotropic Polymorphism remain unstable is called monotropic
Polymorphism
e.g glyceryl stearate.

Particle size is characterized using these terms:
Very coarse, Coarse, Moderately coarse, Fine,Very fine.
• Particle size can influence variety of important factors-
i. Dissolution rate
ii. Suspendability
iii. Uniform distribution
iv. Penetrability-
v. Lack of grittiness

The term particle shape is used to express the geometrical shape and surface
regularity of the material particle shape affects the surface area flow packing
properties of the particles.
Acicular
Flake
Plate
Columnar
Lath

15. FLOW PROPERTIES
During the preformulation evaluation of the
drug substance, therefore its flow ability
characteristic should be studied especially when
the anticipated dose of the drug is large.
Flow properties are affected by changes in
particle size, density, shape, electrostatic charges,
and adsorbed moisture.

21. SOLUBILITY
ANALYSIS
Ionization Constant (PKA) Many drugs are either weakly acidic or basic
compounds and, in solution, depending on the pH value, exist as ionized or un-
ionized species. The un- ionized species are more lipid soluble and hence more
readily absorbed.
The factors that are important in
[Un- ionized form]
pH = pKa + log for bases
[ionized form]
[Ionized form]
pH = pKa + log for acids
[un ionized form
23
23. B)PARTITION
COEFFICIENT
The lipophilicity of an organic compound is usually
described in terms of a partition coefficient log P which can
be defined as the ratio of the concentration of the unionized
compound at equilibrium between organic and aqueous
phases This ratio is known as the partition coefficient or
distribution coefficient and is essentially independent of
concentration of dilute solutions of a given solute species.
Log P = 0 means that the absorption of weakly acidic and
basic compounds are the pH at the sit e of absorption
25
24. 26
Methods of finding Partition coefficient:
1) Shake-flask method
2) Chromatographic method.
3) Counter current and filter probe method.
4) Tomlinson‟s filter probe method.
5) Microelectrometrictitratation method
6) Automated instrument is now available
25. 27
Applications of partition coefficient
a) Measure of Lipophilic character of Drugs molecules.
b) Recovery of antibiotics from fermentation.
c) Extraction of drug from biological fluid for therapeutic
monitoring.
d) Absorption of drug from dosage forms. (Ointments,
Suppositories, Transdermal patches).
e) Study of distribution of flavoring oil between oil & water
in emulsion
26. C) SOLUBILIZATION
Solubility is defined as amount of solute that can be dispersed
molecularly in the given amount of solvent under standard
conditions of temperature pressure and pH.
Terms Expression of solubility
Part by volume of solvent required to
dissolve 1 part by weight of solute
Very soluble Less than 1
Freely soluble From 1 to 10
Soluble From 10 to 30
Sparingly soluble From 30 to 100
Slightly soluble From 100 to 1000
Very slightly soluble From 1000 to 10,000

1. pH Adjustments
2. Co-solvency
3. Complexation
4. Surface active agent / Solubilization by Surfactant
5. Solid Solutions.
6. Chemical Modification of drug.
29
28. CHEMICAL
PROPERTIES
Chemical stability study includes the ways that cause instability of drug through
chemical reactions resulting in a reduction of potency.
The following chemical properties should be evaluated during a pre-formulation
research:
1) Hydrolysis
2) Oxidation
3) Reduction
4) Racemisation
5) Polymerisation.
30
29. HYDROLYSIS
Hydrolysis is the most common degradation pathway since water plays an important role in
many processes especially in solution and also in solids (in which water may be present in low
concentrations).
Preventive Measures against Hydrolysis
Hydrolysis reactions occurring due to the presence of moisture and catalytic species H + and
OH– ions can be prevented as follows:
1) Buffer: It is used for product stabilisation.
2)ComplexingAgent: It forms a complex with drug, prevents its hydrolysis and thus prolongs
the shelf-life.
3)Suppression of Solubility: Less solubility reduces the drug concentration in solution phase
and also reduces the hydrolysis rate.
4) Removal of Water: Presence of water should be avoided by storing the drug in dry form
and by using water immiscible vehicle
31
30. 1.OXIDATION
The environmental phenomenon of oxidation requires
oxygen If molecular oxygen is involved the reaction is
rapid and termed auto-oxidation.
Chemically oxidation involves loss of electrons which
requires an electron acceptor or an oxidising agent for
Anti-oxidising agent, light and trace metals that can
used catalyse the reaction.
example iron converting from ferric (Fe3+) to ferrous
(Fe2+)].
32
31. PREVENTIVE MEASURES AGAINST
OXIDATION
Oxidation reaction occurs due to the presence of moisture, oxygen, trace metals,
H + and OH− ions.
Oxidation can be prevented by:
1) Using antioxidants (e.g. tocopherol)
2) chelating agents
3) Buffers
4) Preventing light exposure
5) Maintaining oxygen free environment
6) Storing the product at a low temperature.
33
32. REDUCTION
Reduction is a relatively common pathway of drug metabolic process.
Hepatic microsomes catalyse diverse reductive chemical reactions
with the use of NADPH.
Cytochrome P450 catalyses the azo and nitro reduction reaction.
The enzyme alcohol dehydrogenase catalyses the reduction of chloral
hydrate into trichloroethanol (its active metabolite).
Prednisolone and cortisone reduces to hydrocortisone (their active
metabolites).
The intestinal flora reduces the azo dyes (used as colouring agents in
pharmaceutical or food products) into amines in the liver.
34
33. RACEMISATION
Racemisation involves the conversion of one
enantiomer of a compound such as an L -
amino acid into the other enantiomer.
The compound then alternates between each
form while the ratio between the (+) and ( –)
groups approach es the ratio 1:1, at which it
becomes optically inactive.
35
34. POLYMERIZATION
Polymerisation is a continuous reaction occurring
between molecules.
Apolymer is formed by the reaction between more
than one monomer.
For example glucose solution darkens due to
polymerisation of the breakdown product [5 -
(hydroxyl methyl) furfural
