Obstetrical Ultrasound• Introduced in the late 1950’s ultrasonography is a safe, non- invasive, accurate and cost-effective means to investigate the fetus• Computer generated system that uses sound waves integrated through real time scanners placed in contact with a gel medium to the maternal abdomen• The information from different reflections are reconstructed to provide a continuous picture of the moving fetus on the monitor screen
Nuchal translucency
It is a sonographic pre natal screening scan to detect cardiovascular abnormality in a fetus.
NT can also detect altered extra cellular matrix composition and limited lymphatic drainage

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

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 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.

How to Make a Field invisible in Odoo 17Celine George
It is possible to hide or invisible some fields in odoo. Commonly using “invisible” attribute in the field definition to invisible the fields. This slide will show how to make a field invisible in odoo 17.
2. •developed by professor Langevin for the French and
British admiralties during the first world war to combat the
growing menace of submarines.
•It was formerly referred to as SONAR which stands for
“sound, navigation and ranging”
3. •Sir Ian Donald was the first to demonstrate and document
the application of this technology to medical diagnosis.
•His pioneering efforts were published in The Lancet of 7
June 1958 which described his experience with ultrasound
for the diagnosis of a large ovarian cyst
4. •An ultrasound scanner consists of transducers (probes) that transmit
and receive ultrasound waves, a screen to view the image and its
technical data, and a variably sophisticated control panel.
5. • Ultrasound waves result from an inverse piezo-electric
effect.
• The piezo-electric effect refers to the phenomenon that
takes place when pressure is applied to the surface of
certain crystals referred to as piezo-electric materials :
the mechanical pressure produces an electric current.
6. •Inversely, when an electrical pulse is applied to piezo-
electric material, a mechanical wave results and this
mechanical wave is the ultrasound beam.
•When these wave meet the tissue interface, they are
reflected back to the transducer and converted to an electric
signal, which is processed and displayed as the ultrasound
image on the monitor.
•The amount of beam reflected back is proportionate to the
difference in the acoustic densities of the tissues meeting at
the interface
7. • When the acoustic densities are markedly different such as
when striking calcification, bone, stones and air, nearly the
whole beam is reflected back and the image is echo-rich.
8. •If the acoustic density differences are small, low level
echoes result and if the acoustic densities are identical as in
homogeneous fluids like blood, amniotic fluid and urine, the
entire wave is transmitted and none is reflected resulting in
an echo-free image.
•Because air is a poor transmitter of high-frequency sound
waves, soluble gel is applied to the skin to act as coupling
agent.
•The processor computes the location (depth) of the signal
based on time differences between transmitting and
receiving.
9. • Obstetric ultrasound employs frequencies of 2 to 15
Mhz.
• Higher frequency transducers have higher spatial
resolution. This means they can better differentiate two
closely located side-by-side spots in the region of
interest.
• The penetration of high frequency wave is however
limited. Therefore, high frequency probes are used to
look at near structures and lower frequency probes are
used to study tissues at depth.
10. •Abdominal transducers use a frequency of 2 to 6.5 MHz
and transvaginal transducers use frequencies of 5 to 15
MHz.
•Obstetric ultrasound uses a largely abdominal approach.
•Transvaginal scanning is used in the first trimester for more
accurate information on early pregnancy complications and
delineation of fetal morphology, assessing the cervical
length and other features of incompetence, delineation of
cranial anatomy in the deeply engaged head and in some
situations of suspected placenta previa and vasa previa.
11. •Conventionally, the left of the screen indicates the head-
end of the patient in a longitudinal section or the right side of
the patient in a transverse section. The top of the screen is
anterior and the bottom posterior.
•When imaging the fetus in the second and third trimesters,
these orientations are no longer relevant.
12. •Echo-free structures and lesions are also referred to as
anechoic, sonolucent, fluid or echolucent.
•Echo-rich structures are also called heperechoic,
echogenic, echo-bright or solid.
•Structures with few echoes are referred to as echo-poor,
echopenic or hypoechoic.
13. •A-mode studies were the most primitive forms of
ultrasound imaging and consisted of a graph indicating
reflectors at the level of their depth.
•These are no longer used in obstetrics.
14. •B-mode studies are currently in use and are what we mean
by conventional ultrasound now.
• These indicate reflections arranged along two axes in the
region of interest.
•B-mode studies currently use a grey scale which reflects
the intensity of the signal and imparts texture to the image.
The other attribute of B-mode studies is real-time.
15. •In the real-time mode, the image moves in the
same manner as the region of interest moves in
real life.
•The conventional ultrasound scan today is,
therefore, a real-time grey-scale B-mode study.
This is also known as 2D study.
16. •It is now possible to add a third dimension to the image
which is made possible by a special transducer and
computer software arrangement, and is referred to as 3D
ultrasound.
•Real-time 3D ultrasound is known as 4D ultrasound.
17. •The tern M-mode refers to a motion mode in B-
mode studies.
•This is currently employed in obstetrics to
evaluate fetal cardiac motion to assess heart rate
and rhythm as well as for studying the excursions
of the cardiac valves and the myocardium.
18. • Confirm an intrauterine pregnancy
• Evaluate a suspected ectopic pregnancy
• Define the cause of vaginal bleeding
• Estimate gestational age
• Diagnose or evaluate multifetal gestations
• Confirm cardiac activity
• Assist chorionic villus sampling, embryo
transfer, and localization and removal of an
intrauterine device
19. •Assess for certain fetal anomalies, such as
anencephaly, in high-risk patients
•Evaluate maternal pelvic masses and/or uterine
abnormalities
•Measure nuchal translucency when part of a
screening program for fetal aneuploidy
•Evaluate suspected gestational trophoblastic
disease
21. ULTRASOUND FINDINGS
•Implantation- conceptus measures 0.1mm &
cannot be detected by the available ultrasound
equipment
•trophoblastic flow with transvaginal color flow
doppler – increased blood flow velocity in the
endometrium is due to invasion of decidua by
chorionic villi.
