Acetabularia acetabulum is a single-celled green alga that in its vegetative state is morphologically differentiated into a basal rhizoid and an axially elongated stalk, which bears whorls of branching hairs. The single diploid nucleus resides in the rhizoid.
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.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Many events in the history of mankind eventually
fade into oblivion, but others, leave their indelible
marks for the entire world to see. More than 350
years ago, the Croats initiated one such influential
occurrence. Although started in the 17th century
in a small region on the Adriatic coast, the
consequences of this event are still very much
evident the world over. 600 million people now
wear the ubiquitous symbol of Croatia around their
necks, close to their hearts.
Did you know that Croatia is the mother country of
the necktie?
In his book, La Grande Histoire de la Cravate
(Flamarion, Paris, 1994), François Chaille tells us
about the appearance of this article of clothing
and how it became fashionable.
"… Around the year 1635, some six thousand
soldiers and knights came to Paris to give their
support to King Louis XlV and Cardinal Richelieu.
Among them were a great number of Croatian
mercenaries led by a ban, or Croatian viceroy.
The traditional outfit of these Croats aroused
interest on account of the unusual and
picturesque scarves distinctively tied about their
necks. The scarves were made of various cloths,
ranging from coarse material for common soldiers,
to fine cotton and silk for officers. This elegant
"Croatian style" immediately enamoured the
French, who were delighted by the new article of
clothing, which had been previously unknown in
Europe.
For the gallant French officers in the thirty-year
war, the advantage of the Croatian neck scarf was
its enviable practicality. In contrast to the lace
collar that had to be kept white and carefully
starched, the scarf was simply and loosely tied
around the neck without need for any additional
care. Just as elegant as the stiff, high collars, the
new scarves were less awkward, easier to wear
and remained visible beneath the soldiers’
thick, long hair.
Around the year 1650, during the reign of Louis
XIV, the Croatian scarf was accepted in France,
above all in court, where military ornaments were
much admired. The fashionable expression,
’a la croate’, soon evolved into a
new French word, which still exists today: la
cravate. This innovation symbolized the height of
culture and elegance. On his return to England
from exile, Charles II brought with him this new
word in fashion. Over the next ten years, this
fashion novelty spread across Europe, as well as
across the colonies on the American continent..."
Since that time in the 17th century, derivatives of
the word croata have been present in many
languages, (i.e., English, German, French,
Portuguese, Italian), meaning cravat or tie. It
follows then that Croatia is the mother country of
the necktie, as France is the mother country of
high fashion, Brazil of coffee, Switzerland of
cheese and watches, Portugal of port…
How much do you know about the Croatian orign of the tie?
The tie (cravat) is a Croatian contribution to the the general development of clothing and fashion. The
etymology of the word cravat indicates its Croatian origin. In the mid-17th century the French introduced the
word cravate into their language, to describe a piece of cloth worn round the neck. It was, probably, derived
from the word Krawatte from a German dialect (the German literary standard language word was Kroate -
Croat). The Oxford dictionary of Modern English Language has several different entries for the word cravat:
crabbat, crabat, cravett, crevet. The word soon was introduced into other languages; the Italian variant was
croatta or cravatta, the Spanish variant was known as corbata and the Flemish as krawaat.
One of the popular background explanations to why cravat got its name after the Croats, is as follows: In
the 17th century, during the Thirty Years' War (1618 - 1648) in which France and Sweden had united forces
against the German Empire, Croatian soldiers served as mercenaries in the light cavalries of both armies.
They first gained a reputation of being exceptionally courageous and well trained within the German ranks.
After the victories they won over the French troops, Cardinal Richelieu himself insisted on including
Croatian mercenaries in the Franch army. In 1633 the first French troop made up of Croatian cavalry was
formed. One of the 24 cavalry regiments formed in France in 1643, was the Croatian regiment
"Royal-Cravattes". It was an elitist regiment which fought many battles for the kings Louis XIII and Louis
XIV. Its soldiers differed from other French troops in their warring strategies, arms and uniforms. A
particular detail of their uniform was a kerchief knotted round the neck. Not only did the French soldiers
adopt the fashion of wearing the neck kerchief, but it soon grew very popular among the civilians too. Even
the French ladies members of the French court and the French nobility, wore cravats, and in the years to
come, they could be seen knotted round the necks of gentlemen in other European and overseas
countries.
In the course of time the cravat has appeared in a variety of shapes, colours and materials, ranging from
the simple knotted kerchive to more sophisticated, sometimes uncomfortable, stiff, high collars. In the l9th
and 20th centuries the bow tie grew very popular.
The modern tie is a narrow, long piece of silk or woolen fabric worn under a shirt collar and tied in a knot at
the front. There are many varieties of patterns and colours designed to match the gentlemen's suits.
Tiepins can be used to fasten the ties to the shirt. A tie could be a sign of affiliation - membership to an
artistic elitist group (the style a la Byron or Baudelaire), or belonging to the middle class, to the class of
farmers and even revolutionaries (thus, the common feature of the 1789 Franch revolutionaries was a
black kerchief tied around their necks).
