Digital technologies for learning in prison: what one Australian university i...Helen Farley
In most Australian correctional jurisdictions, prisoners are not allowed access to the internet precluding them from participating in higher education online. Making the Connection is an Australian government funded project which is taking digital technologies, that don’t require internet access, into prisons to enable prisoners to enroll in a suite of pre-tertiary and undergraduate programs. A version of the University of Southern Queensland’s learning management system has been installed onto the education server of participating prisons. The second stage of the project will see notebook computers preloaded with the learning management system and course materials, allocated to participating prisoners. At the time of writing, the project has been deployed at thirteen sites in Queensland and Western Australia, with a further three sites coming on board in time for semester I 2016 and negotiations underway for further rollout to Victoria, New South Wales, South Australia, Tasmania, the ACT and the Northern Territory.
The SA Department for Correctional Services has a volunteer program to support offenders both in prison and in the community. Volunteers have been critical in the development of the prison library service, resulting in a well managed and expanding library service that benefits prisoners by increasing their education opportunities and supporting better literacy.
With smart phones and more reliance on volunteers, church workers are doing more outside of the church office than ever before. Church360° Members, online church management software from Concordia Technology Solutions, makes it easier than ever to manage your church membership information on the go.

Institute of Interfaith Dialog - Prison Conversion to Islam - Christianityrigsbyml
In prison many inmates turn to religion for a novel world-view fostering belonging, identity, and management of life. Religious conversion may reinforce anti-social, radical identity or it may encourage pro-social conformity. This study focuses on the role of conversion in prisoner rehabilitation and the potential for the radicalization of prisoners in context of religious conversion. Given the relative dearth of research on either of the above subjects, this study examines conversion in prison and the potential tendencies for, the inclusivist, or the exclusivist, the incorporationist, or the rejectionist trajectories of conversion.
The striking conclusion of this research is that religious conversion is a much nuanced pathway for both Islam and Christianity. In each religion no definitive process of radicalization emerged to prove radicalization. What is found in both religions were many forks in the road during the conversion process and transforming of identities. These forks were evidenced in both the inclusivist and exclusivist religious community identity and in the incorporationist and rejectionist world-view identity. The narratives provided evidence that religion is just one alternative for gaining knowledge of self and belonging. The narratives defined other alternatives for gaining knowledge of self that included education, counseling, and gangs. What emerged from the analysis is that not all who experience religious conversion and exhibit exclusivist identity also become rejectionist. Conversely most became become incorporationist. In the analysis of this data only two participants, one Muslim and one Christian, coded both exclusivist and rejectionist. Of the exclusivists that are rejectionist, some may be nonviolent isolationists while others may be violent. It is these that may have the greatest tendency toward terrorism. In supporting the call of the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights (2008) for sound academic study of radicalization in America’s prisons this research supports a major policy issue. It supports the finding that isolating one religion as a radicalization source may unduly burden the free practice of religion while failing to recognize that other religions may have the same tendencies to lead to radicalization and even terrorism.

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.

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.

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. secret police organization of Yugoslavia
founded in 1946 and it seized to exist in the 1990s
following the breakup of Yugoslavia
the result of OZNA(the Department of National Security)’s
reorganisation
3. it consisted of four major parts dealing with:
› the state enemy (e.g. Croatian patriotism, nationalism, the
Church)
› emigration (especially the Croatian and Albanian one)
› foreign secret services and tapping
4. main mission: to pursue and tap people who were
considered a threat for the contemporary regime
it served as a means of intimidation and terror against
dissidents and critics of the regime
dissidents were sometimes held in mental institutions for
years, the argument was that “everyone who let oneself
express the critique of the system was sick”
5. political camp Goli otok on Goli otok, an island in the
Adriatic sea, was established in 1949
general Stevo Krajačić, the UDBA’s commander for
Croatia, was most responsible for the establishment of the
camp for Yugoslav political prisoners
the prisoners mostly died trying to escape, or in mining
accidents, from starvation or exhaustion, or they were
beaten to death
the prison was shut down in 1988 and abandoned a year
later, it has been left to ruin ever since
6.
7. the island was chosen because it was uninhabited and it
was impossible to escape from
the prisoners were forced to hard manual labour in a
stone quarry and in a bauxite mine
8. In their forty five years of activity UDBA’s associates were
collecting information about the so called “enemies of
the people.” Several tens of thousands files are kept
today in the Croatian State Archive. Every citizen can, if
he wishes to, take a look of his file, after a certain
procedure. However, there are only coded names of the
agents who were following them.
9. in the period from 1946 to 1990 UDBA killed 69 Croatian
dissidents in emigration and 8 are still considered missing
after the 1970s and the Croatian Spring there were two
assassinations and 24 assassination attempts (victims
suffered from severe or minor physical injuries)
