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.

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.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
2. 1. PREVENTION AND CONTROL OF SPECIFIC
DISEASES
• An important activity of WHO is epidemiological surveillance of
communicable diseases
• The WHO collects and disseminates epidemiological information on
diseases subject to International Health Regulations and occasionally
other communicable diseases of international importance
• The WHO has also paid attention in its programme of work to non-
communicable disease problems such as cancer, cardiovascular
diseases, genetic disorders, diabetes, blindness, mental disorders,
drug addiction and dental diseases.
3. • The activities of WHO have also branched out into the fields of vector
biology and control, immunology, quality control of drugs and
biological products, drug evaluation and monitoring and health
laboratory technology as these activities are relevant to the control of
both communicable and non-communicable diseases. Immunization
against common diseases of childhood (Expanded Programme on
Immunization) is now a priority programme of the WHO.
4. 2. DEVELOPMENT OF COMPREHENSIVE
HEALTH SERVICES
• WHO's most important single function is to promote and support
national health policy development and the development of
comprehensive national health programmes.
• organizing health systems based on primary health care, the
development of health manpower and utilization, building of long-
term national capability, particularly in the areas of health
infrastructure development, and managerial capabilities
5. 3. FAMILY HEALTH
• broadly subdivided into maternal and child health care, human
reproduction, nutrition and health education. The chief concern is
improvement of the quality of life of the family as a unit
6. 4. ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH
• WHO advises governments on national programmes for the provision
of basic sanitary services. The activities are directed to protection of
the quality of air, water and food; health conditions of work, radiation
protection and early identification of new hazards originating from
new technological developments
7. 5. HEALTH STATISTICS
• WHO has been concerned with the dissemination of a wide variety of
morbidity and mortality statistics relating to health problems. The
data is published in the (a} Weekly Epidemiological Record (b) World
Health Statistics Quarterly and (c) World Health Statistics Annual.
8. 6. BIOMEDICAL RESEARCH
• The WHO does not itself do research, but stimulates and coordinates
research work.
• It has established a world-wide network of WHO collaborating
centres, besides awarding grants to research workers and research
institutions for promoting research.
• Six tropical diseases (malaria, schistosomiasis, trypanosomiasis,
filariasis, leishmaniasis and leprosy} are the target of the WHO Special
Programme for Research and Training in Tropical Diseases to develop
new tools, strengthen research institutions and training workers in
the countries affected
9. 7. HEALTH LITERATURE AND INFORMATION
• Its publications comprise hundreds of titles on a wide variety of
health subjects.
• The WHO library is one of the satellite centres of the Medical
Literature Analysis and Retrieval System (MEDLAR$) of the U.S.
• National Library of Medicine. MEDLARS is fully computerised indexing
system covering the whole of medicine on an international basis.
10. 8. COOPERATION WITH OTHER
ORGANIZATIONS
• WHO collaborates with the UN and with the other specialized
agencies, and maintains various degrees of working relationships.
• Also with various international governmental organizations
12. • In September 2000, the UN General Assembly adopted the
Millennium Declaration, establishing a global partnership of countries
and development partners committed to eight voluntary
development goals, to be achieved by 2015
13. • Representing ambitious moral and practical commitments, the MDGs
called for action to:
• (1) eradicate extreme poverty and hunger;
• (2) achieve universal primary education;
• (3) promote gender equality and empower women;
• (4) reduce child mortality;
• (5) improve maternal health;
• (6) combat HIV/AIDS, malaria and other diseases;
• (7) ensure environmental sustainability; and
• (8) develop a global partnership for development.
14. • Three of the eight MDGs are focused on health, while health is also a
component of several other MDGs (nutrition, water and sanitation)
• Progress towards the MDGs has, on the whole, been remarkable.
With regard to extreme poverty, for example. the number of people
living on less than US$ 1.25 per day has declined by more than half.
from 1. 9 billion in 1990 to 836 million in 2015.
• Similarly, the proportion of undernourished people in the developing
regions has fallen from 23% in 1990-1992 to 13% in 2014-2016. The
child undernutrition indicator target has almost been met burden of
premature mortality, despite the fact that the vast majority of these
deaths are preventable
