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.
Unit 8 - Information and Communication Technology (Paper I).pdfThiyagu K
This slides describes the basic concepts of ICT, basics of Email, Emerging Technology and Digital Initiatives in Education. This presentations aligns with the UGC Paper I syllabus.
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.
10. ON THE BASIS OF STATUS OF
DEVELOPMENT:
POTENTIAL RESOURCES
DEVELOPED RESOURCES
STOCK
RESERVE
11. DEVELOPMENT OF RESOURCES
It is the process of developing the resources in order to
make them useful for satisfying human wants. Some
resources cannot be used directly. They have to be
processed to make them useful for satisfying our wants.
Ex: Land has to be cleared and
ploughed for growing crops. Water has to be taken to
the field to irrigate.
12. PROBLEMS CREATED BY INDISCRIMINATE USE OF RESOURCE
BY MAN
a. Many resources got depleted. Ex: Forest
b. Resources got accumulated in the hands of few
people. The society is divided into rich and poor.
c. Global warming, ozone layer
depletion, environmental degradation are other
problems.
13. SUSTAINABLE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
• The economic development which does not damage
the environment and at the same time takes care of the
needs of the future generations is called sustainable
development
• Sustainable Development is important because:
1) Many of the resources are non-
renewable and exhaustible. Over exploitation of these
resources will affect the needs of our future
generations.
2) Environmental pollution has
become a major threat to the survival of human beings
14. RESOURCE PLANNING
• Resource planning is a technique or skill of proper utilization of
resources.
STAGES OF RESOURCE PLANNING
a) IDENTIFICATION AND LISTING OF RESOURCES
Surveying, mapping and the measurement of
the qualities and the quantities of the resources are the important
activities undertaken at this stage.
b) PLANNING FOR EXPLOITATION
Develop a planning structure with suitable
technology, skill and institutional setup.
c) MATCH RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT PLANS WITH NATIONAL
DEVELOPMENT PLANS.
15. IMPORTANCE OF RESOURCE PLANNING
It is necessary for the balanced development of India.
1) Some regions of India are rich in certain resources and poor in
some other resources.
Ex: Rajasthan is poor in water resources but rich in solar
and wind energy.
2) Some regions are self sufficient while other regions are very
poor in important resources. Ex: Madhya Pradesh is rich in many
resources but Ladakh is poor in resources.
3) Wastage of resources can be avoided by planning.
4) Environmental pollution can be reduced.
5) Over exploitation of resources can be avoided.
16. RESOURCE CONSERVATION
• Planned use of resources in order to meet the present
needs and to store a part for the future generations is
called resource conservation.
It is necessary because
1) Many resources are non-renewable
and exhaustible. If we conserve them we can use them
for a longer period of time.
2) Conservation of resources helps us
to reduce wastage. It will help in economic progress.
3) Resource conservation helps us to
protect the environment.
17. IDEAS OF GANDHIJI ABOUT THE CONSERVATION OF
RESOURCES.
• According to Gandhiji, “There is enough for
everybody’s need and not for anybody’s greed.
• Greedy and selfish individuals and the exploitative
nature of modern technology are the root cause for
resource depletion.
• He was against mass production and wanted to
replace it with production by masses.
18. LAND AS A RESOURCE.
• Land is the habitat of man.
• All the economic activities are performed on land.
• The soil cover on the land is essential for plant
growth. So land is necessary for agriculture. Land is
used to setup industrial units.
• Roads and railways are built on the land.
Commercial activities also require land. Natural
vegetation and wild life are supported by land.
19. LAND UNDER DIFFERENT RELIEF FEATURES
IN INDIA
• PLAINS - 43%
• MOUNTAINS - 30%
• PLATEAUES - 27%
• 43% of India’s land area is plain. This region is good
for agriculture and industry. 30% of the land area is
mountains. This region is rich in water resources.
Plateaus occupy 27% of the land area. This region is
rich in minerals, fossil fuels and forest.
20. LAND USE PATTERN IN INDIA
• Total land area of India is 3.28 million square km.
i). 43.41% of the land area is net sown area.
ii). Forests occupy 22.57% of land area.
iii). 6.29% of the land is waste land.
iv). 7.92% of the land is used for non agricultural
purposes.
v). 3.45% of the land is pastoral land.
vi). 1.10% of the land is tree crops.
vii). 4.41% of the land is cultivable waste.
viii). 3.82% of the land is fallow other than current fallow.
ix) 7.03% of the land is current fallow.
21. CAUSES OF LAND DEGRADATION
i). Large scale soil erosion caused by running water and
wind.
ii). Dumping of waste materials from mining centers and
industrial units.
iii). Over irrigation leads to increase in salinity and
alkalinity in the soil.
iv). Over grazing by animals and deforestation by man.
v). Waste water from the industrial units pollute the
lands.
vii).Mineral processing like grinding of limestone for
cement industry and calcite and soap stone for ceramic
industry creates a lot of dust. This dust is deposited in
the neighbouring land.
22. HOW DO INDUSTRIES CAUSE LAND
DEGRADATION?
i). Some industries dump solid waste which contains
harmful chemicals on the neighboring lands.
ii). Some industries discharge waste water to the
fields.
iii). Mineral processing like grinding of limestone for
cement industries and calcite and soap stone for
ceramic industry creates a lot of dust. This dust is
deposited in the neighbouring land.
iv). Clearing of forest for industrial purpose also cause
degradation.
23. LAND CONSERVATION MEASURES
i). Soil erosion can be prevented by ending
deforestation, controlling grazing, encouraging
afforestation and practicing terrace farming in hilly
areas.
ii). Preparation of shelter belts of plants and stabilizing of
sand dunes by growing thorny bushes will help to
prevent land degradation in deserts.
iii). Mining activities should be controlled. New
technology which reduces wastage can be adopted.
iv). Industrial waste should be chemically treated to
remove the harmful substances.
v). Urban waste should be used for the production of bio-
gas and bio-manure.
vi). Over irrigation should be stopped and new method of
irrigation should be followed
24. DEGRADED LAND IN INDIA.
• 130 million hectares of land is degraded in India.
• 56% of it is water eroded area.
• 28% of it is forest degraded area.
• 6% of it is saline and alkaline deposits.
• 10% of it is wind eroded area.
26. SOIL
• The upper most layer of the earth’s crust which is loose ,
broken and useful for plants is called soil.
• Soil consists of mineral matter such as sand and clay and
Organic matter such as humus, bacteria and earth worms.
• Soil is formed mainly due to the process of weathering. As a
result of weathering a layer of loose rock materials is formed
on the land surface. If this layer remains undisturbed for a
long period of time, chemical, physical and organic changes
take place in it. These changes lead to the formation of soil.
27. FACTORS WHICH INFLUENCE (OR) GOVERN THE SOIL
FORMATION PROCESS
1) Climate:
Climate decides the rate of weathering and the type of
vegetation.
2) Topography:
Topography of the land decides the accumulation of soil.
3) Nature of parent rock:
It decides compositions and texture of the soil.
4)Vegetation:
Vegetation decides the amount of humus available
in the soil.
28. SOILS ARE OUR PRIME RESOURCES
i). Man depends on the soil directly or
indirectly for his food.
ii). Agriculture can be practiced only if soils are
available.
iii). Man gets the materials needed for shelter
and clothing directly (or) indirectly from the
soil.
iv). Soils are essential for the growth of forests.
30. ALLUVIAL SOILS
i). Alluvial soil is the most fertile and wide spread soil
found in India.
ii). It is formed due to the deposition of fine silt
called alluvium by the rivers.
iii). It is found in the northern plains, Gujarat plains
and the coastal plains.
iv). It consists of sand, silt and clay.
v). It is divided into khadar and Bangar [new alluvium
and old alluvium] It contains soil nutrients such as
potash, phosphoric acid and lime. So, it is fertile and
good for the growth of sugarcane, rice, wheat and
pulses.
32. BLACK SOILS
• Regur soils are called black cotton soils because they
are black in colour and are very good for cotton
cultivation.
• It is made up of extremely fine clayey materials.
• It has the capacity to hold moisture for a long time.
These soils develop deep cracks in summer. This helps
in the aeration of the soil.
• This soil is sticky. It is mainly found in the Deccan Trap
region of Maharashtra, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh and
Chattisgarh.
• It is formed due to the weathering of volcanic rocks. It
is very rich in potash, calcium carbonate, magnesium
and lime. It is poor in phosphoric content.
34. RES SOILS
• Red soils are formed due to the weathering of
crystalline igneous rocks under low rainfall
conditions.
• It is red in colour because of the presence of iron in
it.
• It is found in Tamilnadu, Karnataka, Andhra
Pradesh, Orissa, Chattisgarh and Jharkhand.
36. LATERITE SOIL
• The word laterite originated from the Latin word
later which means brick.
• Laterite soil is formed due to intense leaching
caused by tropical rainfall.
• Humus content is less because the micro-organisms
get destroyed due to high temperature.
• This soil can be cultivated by using manure and
fertilizers. It is good for the cultivation of tea, coffee
and cashew nut. It is found in Kerala, Karnataka,
Tamilnadu, Madhya Pradesh, Orissa and Assam.
•
38. ARID SOILS
• Arid soils are red or brown in colour. They are sandy
and saline.
• Humus and moisture contents are very less. They
can be cultivated after irrigation.
• Kankar layer in the soil prevent the water from
seeping under ground.
40. FOREST SOILS
• Forest soils are found in hilly and mountainous
regions.
• They are loamy and silty in valleys and coarse in the
upper slopes.
• In Himalayas they suffer denudation and are acidic
with low humus content.
• The soils found in the lower slopes of the valley are
fertile.
41. SOIL EROSION
• Removal of top soil from one place to another
by natural agencies is called soil erosion.
• It is caused by running water and wind.
• Deforestation, over grazing and unscientific
agricultural practices are responsible for large
scale soil erosion.
42. GULLY EROSION
• The rain water when moves down on an uneven
land scoops away the soil and form deep channels
called gullies. This type of erosion is called gully
erosion.
• A land which is broken into many small parts by the
gullies is called bad land. A bad land is unfit for
cultivation and for other economic activities.
44. SHEET EROSION
• Some times water flows as a sheet over large areas
down a slope. The water takes away the top soil.
This type of erosion is called sheet erosion.
45. SOIL CONSERVATION MEASURES
i). Contour ploughing reduces the flow of water and
prevent soil erosion.
ii). In hilly areas terraced farming should be followed.
iii). Strip farming helps to reduces the force of winds.
iv). Shelter belts of plants around the fields reduce
soil erosion.
v). Afforestation should be practiced on a large scale
and deforestation should be stopped.
vi).Over grazing by animals should be avoided.
