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.

Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.
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.

Preparing Your Research Data
for the Future
What You Can Do Now to Avoid
Problems Later
2. What does data include?
“A reinterpretable representation of information in a formalized
manner suitable for communication, interpretation, or processing.”
Digital Curation Centre
Slide adapted from
the PrePARe Project
Preparing your research

3. What does data include?
Any information you use in your
research
Slide adapted from

4. What is research data management?
Storage
Organizing
Preservation
Documenting
Sharing
Choosing
technology
Versioning
Structuring
Backing up
Curation
Security
Preparing your research
data for the future
5. Thinking ahead is vital
Easy to think of long term data
management as only relevant to the end
of a project
But many aspects
need planning from the
beginning
Preparing your research
data for the future
6. Carrots and sticks
Work efficiently and
with minimum hassle
over the lifetime of the
project
Save time and avoid
problems in the future
Make it easy to share
your data
University of Oxford
Policy on the
Management of
Research Data and
Records
Funding body
requirements
Preparing your research
data for the future
7. University of Oxford policy
Introduced July 2012
Preparing your research
data for the future
8. University of Oxford policy
The full policy can be viewed on the Research
Data Oxford website
Covers the information needed ‘to support or
validate a research project’s observations, findings
or outputs’
Research data should be:
Accurate, complete, identifiable,
retrievable, and securely stored
Able to be made available to others
Preparing your research
data for the future
9. University of Oxford policy
Research data should be retained for ‘as long as they
are of continuing value to the researcher and the wider
research community’ – but a minimum of three years
Specific requirements from funders take precedence
Researchers are responsible for:
Developing and documenting clear data management
procedures
Planning for the ongoing custodianship of their data
Ensuring legal, ethical, and funding body requirements are met
Policy applies to University staff and doctoral students
Preparing your research
data for the future
10. Funders’ requirements
Funding bodies are taking an increasing
interest in what happens to research data
You may be required to make data publicly
available at the end of a project
Many funders require a data management plan
as part of grant applications
RDO website provides
a summary of requirements
Preparing your research
data for the future
11. Why share data? Reuse
Reduces duplication of
effort
Allows public research
funding to be used more
effectively
Use in contexts not
currently envisaged
Extend research beyond
your discipline
Slide adapted from
the PrePARe Project

13. Why share data? Be a trailblazer!
A paradigm shift in how research outputs are
viewed is occurring
Data outputs are of increasing importance –
and are likely to become even more so
E.g. journals looking to publish
datasets alongside articles
Be at the forefront of an
important shift in the
academic world
Preparing your research
data for the future
15. Documentation and metadata
Documentation is the contextual information
required to make data intelligible and aid
interpretation
A users’ guide to your data
May be given at study level or data level
Metadata is similar, but usually more structured
Conforms to set standards
Machine readable
Preparing your research
data for the future
16. Make material understandable

now might not
be in a few
months, years,
decades…
