This document discusses the importance of health behaviors and promotion. It notes that lifestyle factors contribute to a significant portion of leading causes of death and that promoting healthy behaviors can increase longevity. It provides examples of both positive health habits like getting enough sleep and negative habits to avoid like smoking. The document also outlines types of health promotion approaches, including primary prevention of poor habits and interventions with at-risk groups or children to help shape healthy behaviors. Barriers to effective health promotion are discussed, such as a lack of focus on health within medicine and individual barriers like learned behaviors from parents or unrealistic optimism.

The Health Promotion Model was designed by Nola J. Pender to be a “complementary counterpart to models of health protection.” It defines health as a positive dynamic state rather than simply the absence of disease. Health promotion is directed at increasing a patient's level of well-being.

Obesity in America
Introduction
Definition of obesity
Causes of obesity
Statistics of Obesity in America.
Obesity is a condition where an individual have excess body fats leading to health problems. Obesity is an increasing problem in America with the rise in cases causing an alarm for the need to reduce the problem and promote healthy living. Statistics data released by health facilities and health institutions show an increasing trend of obesity in America. Obesity is caused by the uptake of high calorie food, genetic factors, lack of exercise and presence of underlying medical conditions.

Effects of Obesity
Low Quality Life
Increased medical expenses
Health problems
High Blood Pressure
Type ii Diabetes
Coronary heart Disease
Stroke
Hyperlidimia
Obesity has is associated with increased medical costs due to the health problems posed by the condition. Health problems associated with obesity are high blood pressure due to the high fat content deposited in the blood vessel lining. It also causes coronary heart disease, diabetes, stroke among many others. The condition also contributes to low quality life with high chances of causing death.

Inherency
Cause
Results from body storing excess energy in form of stored fats, thus by reducing intake can be a control measure.
Regulation of food intake as researched by professional cannot sustain control of increases in cases of obesity in society today. several factors interactions contribute to the situation. the causes have to first be understood. While most of the obesity cases are caused by excess consumption of food by an individual, it is also clear that some conditions are caused by more than excess consumption. This may include genetic, or other body disorders. The prevalence of the problem is increasing instead of reducing. Obesity rates have increased across all the population groups in the United States. It is therefore important to approach the problem from a different perspective.
Challenges being experienced can be grouped into the following major levels.
Intrapersonal Level
Interpersonal Level
Community/Institution Level
Macro/Public Policy Level
Medics and nutritionists have viewed the problem continuously as it could be solved through reducing the amount of food intake. However, body’s regulation of food consumption is not enough to deal with the epidemic. It is not a matter of the obese people decision to eat less food than they have been doing. It has been seen that obesity can be reduced through a different treatment of the problem. This may involve first deciding the root cause that triggers a person to eat so much food.

The concept of Health is somewhat difficult to understand. When we say a person is healthy, it means to the lay man that the person is normally doing his activities and does not outwardly show any signs of any disease in him. However, for the medical man it denotes the conformity to certain standards like physical measurements, biochemical norms and rates, physiological standards, etc.

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.

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.
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.

14. Advantages to working with people who are at risk for a particular health disorder. By identifying these people as early as possible, one may be able to prevent or eliminate poor health habits that can contribute to the likelihood of the problem. In addition, working with at-risk populations provides a specific focus for health interventions that may achieve good results.
19. Barriers to health promotion within the structure of medicine The absence of a formal diagnostic process for health. The absence of an appropriate method for identifying people who are at risk. Health risk appraisal : is a formal strategy by which health educators attempt to promote changes in individuals´health behaviors. It involves the assesment of health habits and a quantified, personalized, computarized report indicating which health habits should be modified.
20. Individual barriers to health promotion Health behaviors are learned in the child´s most powerful environment, the home. Parents generally play an important role in deciding what their children will an will not do. Unrealistic optimism The perception that their poor health behaviors are widely shared but that their healthy behaviors are more distinctive.
