The document discusses iron metabolism in the human body. It notes that 1-2 mg of iron enters the body daily, mostly incorporated into hemoglobin in red blood cells. Iron is stored in ferritin and transported by transferrin. Iron is absorbed in the duodenum through transport proteins like DMT1 and exported by ferroportin. Tight regulation of absorption and storage maintains iron homeostasis, controlled by the hormone hepcidin in response to body iron levels. Diseases like hereditary hemochromatosis result from defects in this regulatory system.

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.

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
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.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter 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.
2. 1 to 2 mg of iron
enters the body each
day.
Most of the iron in the
body is incorporated
into hemoglobin in
erythroid precursors
and mature red cells.
Most of the iron found
in the plasma derives
from the continuous
breakdown of
hemoglobin in
senescent red cells by
RE macrophages.
Each day,
approximately 1 to 2
mg of iron are lost
from the body.
3. Two types of iron-containing proteins:
1) Haemoproteins
2) Non-haem iron proteins
5. Ferritin - iron storage protein
Transferrin: iron transport protein
6. Ferritin:
iron storage protein. In men, contains up to 1 gram of iron
450 kDa protein consisting of 24 subunits
Inside the ferritin shell, iron ions form crystallites together with phosphate and hydroxide
ions. The resulting particle is similar to the mineral ferrihydrite.
Each ferritin complex can store about 4500 iron (Fe3+) ions.
Reflects the amount of BODY IRON STORES
men: 20-275 μg/litre
women: 5-200 μg/litre
15 μg/litre and less: insufficient iron stores
8. Transports iron in the blood
Contains only 2 atoms of iron

complex localize to clathrin-coated pits
which invaginate to form endosomes. A
proton pump decreases pH leading to iron
release. DMT1 moves iron across
endosomal membrane to cytoplasm. Apo-
Tf& TfRl are recycled to the cell surface for
further use. In RBC most iron is
incorporateed into protoporphyrin to make
Heme (mitochondria).
16.
17. specialized transport systems and membrane
carriers have evolved in humans to maintain iron in
a "soluble" state suitable for circulation in the
bloodstream [i.e., bound to serum transferrin (Tf)] or
to transfer it across cell membranes [through metal
transporters such as divalent metal transporter
1 (DMT1) or ferroportin1/Ireg-1/MTP-1] for tissue
utilization.
Since there is no mechanism for delibrate excretion
of iron through the liver or kidneys, iron homeostasis
is maintained primarily by the tight regulation of iron
absorption in the intestine and the high degree of
conservation of body iron stores.
18. It is induced by iron deficiency.
Mediates cellular iron egress in
conjunction with the ferroxidase,
hephaestin.
Localizes to the basolateral membrane
of polarized cells.
IREs are at the 5’UTR of FP1 mRNA.
19. Ferroxidase activity.
It oxidizes iron as part of the transmembrane
transfer process &/or the process of loading
iron onto plasma Tf.
Mice hemizygous or homozygous for sex-
linked anemia (sla) mutation have partial loss
of hephaestin function & resultant iron
deficiency due in part to hephaestin
mislocalization away from basolateral
membrane.

Lack of hepcidin expression--- iron overload.
No IREs identified in hepcidin transcript.
Is a negative regulater of iron absorption in
duodenum &of iron release from macrophage.
24. Is secreted in response to change in the ratio
of diferric Tf in the circulation to TfR1.
Changes detected by TfR2&HFE-TfR1.
It directly influences the expression of DMT1 &
ferroportin in enterocytes, there by regulating
absorption in response to body iron
requirements.
25. HC represent a common single-gene
hereditary disorder.
C282Y mutation disrupts a critical disulfide
bond in HFE ptn & abrogates its binding to
B2microglobulin------reduced expression on
the cell.
HFE Knockout &knockin mice recapitulate
the human disease.
26. Paradoxically, the mRNA coding for the HC gene
product HFE, does not contain IREs nor is it
known to be regulated by iron status.Yet, HFE
has a dramatic impact on cell iron trafficking &,
indirectly, on intestinal iron absorption.
27. The "information" on the erythron
and body iron status is transferred
to the crypt cells of the distal
duodenum by Tf: the extent of Tf
saturation with iron acts as the
"signal" that is transferred through
the transferrin receptor (TfR)/HFE
pathway to the stem cells of the
crypts. This sets the level of "free
iron pool" in the crypt cell that will
also be reflected in the mature
enterocytes on differentiation and
migration to the villus. The free iron
pool through the iron regulatory
proteins (IRP) will dictate the level
of expression of apical and
basolateral iron transporters in the
mature enterocytes of the villus
and, in turn, of iron absorption.
28. B: in iron-deficiency anemia,
the circulating iron-poor Tf will
signal to RE cells the increased
erythron demands prompting
for iron release and diverting
iron from the periphery,
including intestinal cells, to the
erythron. Due to low availability
of circulating iron, the
decreased free iron pool in
crypt cells will signal the
mature enterocyte to activate
the iron uptake transfer
machinery.
29. . C: during secondary iron
overload (e.g., transfusion
siderosis), iron-saturated
Tf will cause the RE cells
and crypt cells to retain
iron; this will then
downregulate iron carriers
in the mature iron-replete
enterocytes and decrease
iron absorption.
30. D: in hereditary hemochromatosis, due
to the defective HFE and the faulty
HFE/TfR pathway, both RE cells and
crypt cells receive an incorrect signal
of "iron deficiency" despite increasing
saturation of circulating Tf with iron.
This, paradoxically, will lead, as in a
"true" iron-deficiency state, both
macrophages and duodenal
enterocytes to "release" more iron.
Duodenal cells will accomplish this by
activating the iron uptake transfer
machinery. DMT1, divalent metal
transporter 1.
