Drug addiction is a chronic disease characterized by drug seeking and use that is compulsive, or difficult to control, despite harmful consequences.
Brain changes that occur over time with drug use challenge an addicted person’s self-control and interfere with their ability to resist intense urges to take drugs. This is why drug addiction is also a relapsing disease.
Relapse is the return to drug use after an attempt to stop. Relapse indicates the need for more or different treatment.
Most drugs affect the brain's reward circuit by flooding it with the chemical messenger dopamine. This overstimulation of the reward circuit causes the intensely pleasurable "high" that leads people to take a drug again and again.

Understanding Human Rights, Sex Worker Rights and Discrimination in the South African
Context.
Transgender female sex workers are a vulnerable key population, specifically in relation to
sexual health, intimacy, gender identity and gender based violence. Discrimination and stigma
impacts this group of women, with limited access for health and human rights benefits, on the
one hand, and providing a sensitive and safe space for transgender female sex workers to
express themselves on the other.
An addiction is a chronic dysfunction of the brain system that involves reward, motivation, and memory. It’s about the way your body craves a substance or behavior, especially if it causes a compulsive or obsessive pursuit of “reward” and lack of concern over consequences.

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.

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.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Process addictions
1. BY
Dr. Soheir H. ElGhonemy
Assistant Professor of Psychiatry- Ain Shams University
MD in Psychiatry and Addiction
Arab Board in Psychiatry
Member of International Society of Addiction Medicine

for chemical addiction.
Describe types of process addictions, including
gambling, work, exercise, sexual, and Internet
addictions, as well as codependence.
Evaluate treatment and recovery options for

3. Habit versus Addiction
Addiction is continued involvement with a
substance or an activity despite ongoing
negative consequences.
Habit is repeated behavior in which the
repetition may be unconscious.
Compulsion is present if considerable
discomfort is experienced if the behavior is
not performed.
The mental health community considers process addiction a treatable
medical condition, Many people view it as moral condition and believe
addiction is no more than habit; they feel behaviors such as smoking,
gambling, and biting your nails are self-selected.
6. Internet
Food
Shopping
Addiction
Work Gambling
Exercise Sex
7. Addictive Behaviors
Process addictions are behaviors known to be
addictive because they are mood altering.
Termed a “Process” addiction because it is a
type of behaviour (a process) that the person is
involved with, not a substance.
Substance-related phenomena; tolerance,
withdrawal, greater quantity or intensity than
intended, time spent (preparing, engaging…etc),
loss of other life domains, continued despite

frequency and duration, relatively resistant
to change, and often accompanied by an
irresistible impulse to exercise even when
injury, fatigue, or other personal demons
persist.
11. Criteria for Exercise Dependence:
1. Tolerance: need for increased amounts of exercise to achieve
desired effect; diminished effect with continued use of same
amount of exercise
2. Withdrawal: characteristic withdrawal symptoms for exercise
(e.g., anxiety, fatigue) or exercise is taken to relieve or avoid
symptoms
3. Intention Effect: exercise is often taken in larger amounts or
over a longer period than was intended
4. Lack of Control: a persistent desire or unsuccessful effort to
cut down or control exercise
12. 5. Time: a great deal of time is spent in activities necessary to
obtain exercise (e.g., physical activity vacations)
6. Reduction in Other Activities: social, occupational, or
recreational activities are given up or reduced because of
exercise
7. Continuance: exercise is continued despite knowledge of
having a persisting/recurriing physical or psychological
problem that is likely to have been caused or exacerbated
by the exercise (e.g., continued running despite injury).
(Hausenblas and Downs, 2002)
13. Signs of Exercise Dependence

Compulsive overeating usually in the form
of bingeing or excessive snacking
16. Binge
Eating, in a discrete period of time an
amount of food that is definitely larger than
most people would eat in a similar period of
time under similar circumstances
A sense of lack of control over eating
during the episode
People describe feeling that they cannot
stop eating or control what or how much
they are eating
17. Bulimia Nervosa
Recurrent episodes of binge eating.
Recurrent inappropriate compensatory
behavior in order to prevent weight gain
Purge subtype: self-induced vomiting; misuse of
laxatives, diuretics, enemas, or other medications
Non-purge subtype: fasting; or excessive exercise
Occur on average, at least twice (once) a
week for 3 months.
Stems from a negative perception body
shape and weight.
18. Binge Eating Disorder
Recurrent episodes of binge eating.
Marked distress regarding binge eating.
The binge eating occurs, on average, at
least 2 days a week for 6 months.

19. Causes of Compulsive Overeating
Socio-cultural issues:
Body image
Fast Food Society
Diet craze
Interpersonal issues:
Emotional eating
Susceptibility to addiction
Self-Regulation Issues
20. Compulsive Overeating
More food/binges for satiety (tolerance)
Depressed mood, guilt, shame and irritation (withdrawal)
Binge is defined as excessive (excessive intake)
Loss of control of bingeing
Social withdrawal, lie about and hide eating activities,
steal and hoard food ( behavioral changes)
Extreme dieting attempts, obesity, psychological distress
(continue despite consequences)
21. Laboratory findings; binge eating, like addictions, might
involve the endogenous opioid systems and the mesocortical
dopamine system.
Low levels of dopamine D2 receptors have been reported in
individuals with compulsive disorders, including both drug
addiction and compulsive overeating
Eating disorders and substance-use disorders co-occur at
higher than expected rates, particularly among individuals
who binge eat (elevated rates of eating disorders are reported
by individuals with substance-use disorders)
Compulsive overeating may occur to compensate for reduced
activation of reward circuits which are modulated by
dopamine. (Volkow & Wise, 2005)
22. Internet Addiction
Time-consuming, incontrollable, or distressing
internet use which results in social occupational, or
financial difficulties.
The internet became commercially available only 20
years ago in the early 1990s.
According to the International Telecommunications
Union, as of 2009, almost a quarter (~22%) of the
world‟s population uses the internet.
Since the internet is so young, relative to other drugs,
internet addiction is a fairly new disorder and has only
recently been considered a major treat to society due to
its addictive nature.
23. Types of Internet Addiction
Addiction to online video games (role
playing games)
Online gambling

FACEBOOK
24. Almost half of Facebook's users visit it
every day. And some of its users spend an
inordinate amount of time on Facebook,
allowing the hours to while away unnoticed,
the chores to go uncompleted, and even
going so far as to ignore family and friends
in the actual world.
25. Signs of a Facebook addiction:
You wake up and the first thing you do is "check Facebook". And it's
the last thing you do at night.
Nothing else thrills you or you feel "empty" without Facebook. All you
want to do is spend time on Facebook, even to the exclusion of
getting work done that needs to be done, or meeting family
obligations.
You're not able to go for more than a day without using Facebook. If
forced to do so, you find yourself suffering from Facebook
"withdrawal" symptoms, such as finding nothing else interesting,
trying to find ways to get back to Facebook even if it means using a
computer that is either out of bounds, or difficult to get to, or you find
yourself intensely worried about missing out on Facebook updates.
26. Even if you're not on Facebook constantly (indicating you
need a reality check), checking it many times during the
day is a sign of compulsive behavior. Spending more
than an hour on Facebook a day will easily cut into all the
other obligations you have in life and may cause social
dysfunction problems.
Your real life isn't going so well and Facebook presents a
fantasy escape life where everything seems neat, happy,
and easy – all things that are the opposite of your
everyday life.
Adequate sleep ceases to be important to you. Instead,
you're prepared to stay up way too late just to be able to
accommodate your Facebook neediness.
You have tons of friends on Facebook but you still feel
very lonely.
