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.

Supporting Learning in Traumatic Conflicts: innovative responses to education in refugee camp environments

Supporting Learning in Traumatic
Conflicts:
Innovative responses to education in refugee
camp environments
2. Overview
• Issue of mass migration has dominated European discourse for at
least 40 years.
• Since Iraq invasion an entirely new phenomenon has emerged –
millions fleeing failed States, violence, terrorism and despair.
• New problems: family fragmentation, emotional trauma, the need
to rebuild lives.
• Education provision for refugees is not being done in a consistent
and qualitative manner in Europe.
• Aim of paper: theoretical, design and implementation issues
addressing conflict resolution theory with practical steps to
support learning in crisis or traumatic environments.
• Case study of Lesvos
3. Scale of crisis
• 5.5 million Syrian refugees (UNHCR, June 2017).
• Human cost of drowning, disruption, injury and trauma.
• Legal obligations of international law: requirement for
States to provide sanctuary and succor.
• EU responses uncoordinated, fragmented and often
counter-productive.
• Rising tide of racism and discrimination in many Member
States matched by a highly prejudicial mass media.
• Total number of refugees on Greek islands (June 2018):
15,988
4. The challenge
• Situation will continue in future.
(a) humanitarian response
(b) concrete supports
(c) strategies for integration
(d) Inclusion.
• If done well and consistently, refugees can acquire the
tools to succeed: Education, Training and Employment
• Concrete measures to engage these populations require
vision, policy and action.
• Key role for universities to raise issue, provide research,
train staff and engage policy makers.
7. Universities and the
refugee crisis
Rethinking the universities’ role
✓Universities are not NGOs.
✓ This crisis is a Human Rights matter.
✓ Avoiding a lost generation.
✓ Building shelter cities and a new welcoming culture.
✓ Beyond the humanitarian emergency: long-term
initiatives:
8. Scholarships Program
for Refugees
● Pilot test
● 2 call for applications: in February and in
September 2017
● Specializations and languages
● 61 scholarships in all
● 2018: 30 new scholarships in June
● 15 different refugees nationalities
● Laptops for training
● Volunteer refugees
● Mentorship program
● 100% UOC funding
● Partners: Red Cross, ACNUR, FC Barcelona
9. UOC Masters in Conflictology
• Development of a significant new level of technological capacity with
advanced ICT supported learning enables a significant expansion of scale
in recent years for students across the world.
• UOC School for Cooperation runs different programs on conflict resolution
on line and in English.
• UOC’s virtual campus was an efficient system for UN staff taking this
program online - students can connect and have a welcoming tutor to help
them navigate through the campus.
• This is a two-way agreement that also benefits UOC students wishing to
take any subjects in the UNITAR course catalogue, as their credits will be
validated.

‘Children come to us stuffed
with wonder, eyes lit bright
with projects. Their hands
are eager to pull apart life’s mysteries,
their voices ready
to shout out accomplishments,
each echo adding shape to
their being.’ (Greenman, 1998 in
Graham, 2014)
