According to the WHO, malnutrition is by far the biggest contributor to child mortality
Under-weight births and IUGR (intra-uterine growth restrictions) cause 3 million child deaths a year.
According to the Lancet, consequences of malnutrition in the first two years is irreversible.
Malnourished children grow up with worse health and lower educational achievements.
Malnutrition can exacerbate the problem of diseases such as measles, pneumonia and diarrhoea.
But malnutrition can actually cause diseases itself , and can be fatal in its own right
The term 'faltering growth' is widely used in relation to infants and young children whose weight gain occurs more slowly than expected for their age and sex.
In the past, this was often described as a ‘failure to thrive’ but this is no longer the preferred term :-
partly because ‘failure’ could be perceived as negative,
but also because lesser degrees of faltering growth may not necessarily indicate a significant problem but merely represent variation from the usual pattern when measured against the standardized growth charts (WHO Growth Charts
eenage pregnancy, also known as adolescent pregnancy, is pregnancy in a female under the age of 20. Pregnancy can occur with sexual intercourse after the start of ovulation, which can be before the first menstrual period (menarche) but usually occurs after the onset of periods.

Interviewee 1: My improved health is a direct result of my growing appreciation for and awareness of the intricate workings of my body.
The strong belief that following the female body clock will benefit the body
Interviewee 1: I feel that the person does not exactly know what the biological clock means. I, therefore, pity them.
emotional
helpless
pity
incomprehensible
Interviewee 1: The variability in fertility occurs over a person's lifetime and may be tracked by that person's biological clock. Because of this, I now better understand the optimal timing to have a family.
Uncertainty about fertility
Glad to follow the biological clock
Proving the benefits of following the biological clock in another way
Interviewee 1: I got the idea in high school. My mother often told me that women need to do the right things at the right time, 22 is the best age to have children, and the timing is very ripe. Women can still have a lot of time to pursue their dream careers after giving birth. Even though most women around me chose to start working, I think my mother was right.
Influenced by mother's thoughts
Very trust mother
Interviewee 1: I don't think it would be a good idea to focus on my profession throughout my childbearing years. I think we can move on to the next question.
Uncertainly

Sensitive
Interviewee 1: I have never regretted it because I have already seen the health benefits that come with it. (pause) But sometimes I wonder if I didn't follow the female biological clock and continued to finish college and get into work, would I be more integrated with my friends? (laughs)
very firm, no regrets
another possibility
Desire to connect with friends around
Interviewee 1: I would advise them to follow this and avoid rushing when it is too late. (laughs)
Encourage follow female biological clock
Interviewee 2: As many women reach the peak of their reproductive years, they tend to feel pressured to get pregnant. I was aware that fertility begins to decline for many women once they approach their mid thirty's. It motivated me to plan my pregnancy at the right age.
Feel pressured at mid thirty
Acknowledgment of fertility decline
Encourage females to plan pregnancy at the right age
Interviewee 2: It is crucial for women, especially those in their early twenties, to understand the benefits of getting pregnant at their most fertile age when they are not exposed to risks. I always try to teach people, especially ladies my age, to embrace following the biological clock for their benefit.
Crucial to know the benefits of the biological clock
No risks
Teach other females to follow the biological clock
Interviewee 2: As people become older, their bodies naturally generate fewer eggs and sperm, and those produced are lower quality.

Interviewee 2: I embraced this idea after learning the importance of following the biological clock in a specific family.

My future position in the healthcare industry is to be a Healthcare Administrator. In my
current or past positions, I did not work with finances, so this is new to me, though definitely
will be dealing with it as an Administrator. There are several ways that I would utilize financial
information. It will be utilized when dealing with insurance and reimbursements, will I qualify

ESSAY QUESTIONS
1.Identify and explain the significant steps of Early Childhood Development and include the relevant theories.
The development of a child starts with physical development before getting to psychological development. Physical development involves growth in height and weight. During the early stages, the girls are averagely taller than boys. One of the challenges in physical development is obesity, a health problem that is caused by diet, social characteristics, and genetic make-up. The psychological aspect involves growth in education, which is enhanced for all learners through systems such as special education.
The special education units involve providing the learners with differentiated instructions to facilitate learning at various levels. The early development stages require the support of the parents, especially the protection that the father offers to the children. Similarly, the development of the children includes dieting and the challenge of obesity among children can be addressed by ensuring that children access healthy meals.
2.Describe the challenges faced by learners in the early stages of development and suggest viable solutions to the setbacks.
Bullying at school and instability in the family set up can disrupt the learning progress and ruin the future of the kids. Bullying inflicts physical pain and injuries and scares the victims from attending school. This problem can be addressed by teaching discipline in school. Bullying is responsible for over 90% truancy in elementary and middle schools as students fear being harassed and they choose to stay at home. Children who are exposed to bullying might develop low self-esteem, while the perpetrators are likely to engage in crimes in future.
The issue of family disputes affects the children because they lack the required parental support. The challenge can be solved by listening and responding to their concerns. The adults might be well adapted to facing wi ...

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.

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

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter 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.

Lesson 3
Importance of Reproductive Process to Being a Parent
Whether planning for childbearing or not, everyone should be familiar with reproductive physiology.
Everyone needs to be aware of the structure of reproductive system to become better partners and
parents. When you understand your body and its functions, you become better prepared to protect and
respect your body.
Readiness for childbearing is initiated at puberty. Puberty is the stage in life at which secondary sex
changes begin. Girls begin development and maturation of reproductive organs at approximately 10 to
13 years and for boys 12 to 14 years. Specific hormones are responsible for these changes and this makes
adolescents capable of reproduction.
There are two important systems in the reproductive process namely the male and the female
reproductive systems.
8. The Female Reproductive System
The female reproductive system is composed of the following parts:
a. the uterus is a pear-shaped muscular organ which recieves the egg after its journey down the
fallopian tube.
b. the fallopian tubes lead the ovaries to the uterus. It is where fertilization or the union of the egg cell
and the sperm cell occurs.
c. the ovaries produce and store eggs and also feminizing hormones.
d. vagina is the opening in the female’s body where the baby passes through during birth.

THE FEMALE REPRODUCTIVE
ORGAN
Refer to the Answer Key.
The Menstrual Cycle:
Every month a woman experiences a monthly cycle of changes. The average cycle is 28 days. A girl
can start menstruating between the ages of 10-15 and will continue doing so until the ages 45 to 51. Menarche is the onset of menstruation. Menopause is the period in a woman’s life when menstruation stops and
pregnancy is no longer possible.
When a female reaches puberty, egg cells start to develop in her ovaries. When the egg matures, it is
released from an ovary, ovulation occurs. The released egg travels through the fallopian tube to the uterus.
After reaching the uterus, the egg and the thick lining of the uterus begin to break down. The egg and the
uterus lining are shed out from body through the vagina as menstrual flow. The period of menstrual flow is
called menstruation.

You are now aware of the menstrual cycle. But if you did not get them all, don’t worry!
10. How does Reproduction take place?
It is in the fallopian tube that a mature egg and sperm cell unite. The union of an egg and sperm is what we
call fertilization process. During this process, the fertilized egg divides, continues moving to the uterus and gets
implanted into the thick lining of the uterus. When this happens a woman becomes pregnant and the menstrual
cycle stops. In cases when the egg cell is not fertilized, it disintegrates and flows out as menstruation.

Below is an illustration of the structure of the male reproductive organ. The structure consists of internal
and external parts. Each part has its own function.
The reproductive cells produced by the
male are the sperm cells. These cells are
produced in paired sex glands called testicles
or testes. The testicles are suspended in the
scrotum, a saclike structure hanging directly
behind the penis, the organ through which
sperms are released into the vagina.
The sperm moves into the epididymis,
a coiled tube adjacent to the testicles within the
scrotum where they are stored there until they
are discharged. During ejaculation, the seminal
vesicle provides nourishment. The prostate
gland secretes a fluid to nourish the sperm. The
vas deferens serves as passageway of the sperm

4. A long coiled tube above each testicle through which sperm travels on its way to the urethra.
5. Sacklike structure below the penis which protects the testicles by maintaining the temperature.
6. Secretes fluids that create a healthy environment in which the sperm can live.

person.
• Everyone needs to be aware of the reproductive physiology to become better partners
and parents.
• Puberty is a stage of life at which secondary sex changes begin.
• The female internal reproductive organs include the ovaries, fallopian tube, uterus and the
vagina.
• The male external reproductive organs include the penis, the scrotum and testicles. The
internal organs include the vas deferens, epididymis, prostate gland and the seminal vesicles.
