This document discusses the main sources of demographic data, including population censuses, administrative records, vital registration systems, sample surveys, and universal population registers. Population censuses conducted every 10 years are the primary source of demographic data worldwide. They provide information on population size, composition, and fertility and mortality rates. Administrative records like health statistics are also widely used but depend on complete recording. Vital registration systems specifically track births, deaths, marriages and provide key fertility and mortality data, though many developing countries' systems remain limited. Sample surveys offer flexibility to investigate various demographic variables and update census data. Universal population registers maintained in some developed countries continuously collect lifetime statistics.

An Insight into the demographic trends of India using various demographic indicators ( Sex Ratio,Dependency Ratio, Urbanization, Family Size, Literacy Rate and Life Expectancy).
There is also brief introduction of basics of demography along with the demographic cycle.
Demography as the statistical study of human population with regard to their size & structure, their composition by sex, age, marital status and ethnic origin, and the changes to these population, like changes in their birth rates, death rates and immigration.
Demography is the branch of social size, structure, which deals with the study of size, structure and distribution of populations, along with the spatial and temporal changes in them in response to birth, migration, ageing and death.
In demography the following three elements of population are given special attention:
Change in the size of population (increase or decrease)
Structure of population (on the basis of sex or age groups)
Geographical distribution of population (on the basis of state or territory).
Population policy in general refers to policies intended to decrease the birth rate or growth rate.
Statement of goals, objectives and targets are inherent in the population policy.

Errors and Disfigurations in Nigeria’s Census Data: Evidences and ImplicationsAJHSSR Journal
The result of any census exercise in Nigeria especially since independence had been mired in
controversy as a result of census data disfigurations. The evidences of these disfigurations and manipulations are
infallibly set out in this paper. Some of these evidences include high margin of error and improbable growth
rates, structural deformity in census data, abnormal pattern of population distribution and re-distribution etc. the
overriding implications of such disfigured data is that socio-economic planning is now based on spurious data
which does not augur well for development planning in the country. The paper concludes by refreshing us with a
summary of the litany of recommendations so far and making a case for leadership with integrity and vision as
the implementation of those recommendations could actually yield fruitful results.
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

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.
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. POPULATION CENSUS
The main source of demographic data worldwide
A
census
is
the
process
of
collecting, compiling, evaluating and disseminating
demographic data at a specified time covering all
persons in a country or in a well delimited part(s) of
a country
Most countries, nations and states carry out their
population censuses after every ten years as per
United Nations recommendation
provide info on size, composition, spatial distribution
and information on fertility and mortality in
countries that may not have fully developed their
vital registration system (Banda, 2003.4)
3. POPULATION CENSUS CONT***
Censuses are carried out on either defacto or dejure basis
On defacto basis a person(s) is enumerated where he/she is found whilst on dejure
basis a person(s) is enumerated at their usual place of residence
Although censuses are the ideal method of collecting demographic data, they are time
consuming in terms of planning and very expensive such that developing countries may
fail to raise appropriate funds
*Indonesia had to cancel the scheduled 1940 census due to lack of funds
(Saluhudi, 2002.146)
Censuses are also liable to errors of coverage and content
4. ADMINISTRATIVE RECORDS
Used in almost every country and a common example
of such are health statistics from hospitals.
their reliability in providing accurate demographic
data depends upon the completeness of
the
administrative recording process and the competence
of reporting (Suharto, 2011).
Administrative recorded are a very cost effective
data source in developing countries but unfortunately
in most of the very same developing countries, have
not yet fully developed their administrative
recording systems.
-limited in content i.e. they do not provide
information that is related to morbidity and are
limited in content on mortality as well since they are
mainly for administrative purposes.
5. VITAL REGISTRATION SYSTEMS
V.R.S’s are part of administrative records and are another major source of
demographic data
V.R.S’s provide vital demographic information on a number of issues amongst which
there is migrations, deaths, births, marriages, divorces, adoptions
V.R.S’s in developing countries are still lagging behind, thus why censuses have included
questions on fertility
The majority of African countries do not have adequate civil registration and vital
statistics systems, hence unable to produce current and continuous fertility and
mortality statistics, including causes of death statistics at national and sub-national
levels (http://ecastats.uneca.org/acsweb/FocusAreas/CRVS.aspx).
Countries with developed V.R.S’s however are able to produce periodic reports on vital
demographic events like the number of live births by sex, date, place and time of
birth, number of deaths by sex
6. SAMPLE SURVEYS
The most flexible of all data collection methods
which can investigate almost every demographic
variable
Household surveys in particular are key source of
data on special phenomenon and what makes them an
excellent choice for demographers is that they
provide a mechanism for supplying data that may not
be met by censuses and V.R.S
Due to the fact that censuses can bot be frequently
carried out, surveys provide a basis for updating
some census information at national or other large
domains (Banda, 2003.6).
May examine such topics as fertility, mortality and
morbidity
7. SAMPLE SURVEYS CONT.***
House hold surveys in particular are key source of data on social phenomenon .They are
among the most flexible method of data collection.
The overall cost of a survey is generally lower compared to a census as the latter
requires large amounts of manpower, financial, logistical and material resources.
In general sample surveys produce statistical information of better quality because, as
stated earlier, it is more feasible to engage better and well- trained enumerators. It is
also easier to provide better supervision because supervisors are usually well trained
and the supervisor/ enumerator ratio can be as high as 1 to 4.
8. UNIVERSAL POPULATION REGISTERS
Rare source of demographic data
Commonly used in developed countries such as Sweden
These registers collect statistics of persons on a
permanent base from birth and are constantly updated
on such events in a persons life as
marriage, divorce, death and change of residence.
Demographic data collected is mainly for
administrative purposes
