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.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
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.

Viral Encephalitis
1. SOMBIR SINGH
Ph.D

2. Encephalitis is the inflammation of the brain
parenchyma, presents as diffuse and/ or focal
neuropsychological dysfunction.
• From an epidemiologic and pathophysiologic
perspective, encephalitis is distinct from
menningitis though on clinical evaluation the two
often coexist with the sign and symptoms of
meningeal inflammation such as photophobia,
headache or a stiff neck.
• Viral infection is the most common and important
cause, with over 100 viruses implicated worldwide
3.
4. Encephalitis is most often caused by a viral
infection.
Many types of viruses may cause it.
Exposure to viruses can occur through:
Breathing in respiratory droplets from an
infected person
Contaminated food or drink
Mosquito, tick, and other insect bites
Skin contact
5. Some patients may have symptoms of a cold or stomach infection
before encephalitis symptoms begin.
When a case of encephalitis is not very severe, the symptoms may
be similar to those of other illnesses, including:
1. Fever that is not very high
2. Mild headache
3. Low energy and a poor appetite
4. Clumsiness, unsteady gait
5. Confusion, disorientation
6. Drowsiness
7. Irritability or poor temper control
8. Light sensitivity
9. Stiff neck and back (occasionally)
10. Vomiting
8. • Arboviruses – examples: Japanese encephalitis; St.
Louis encephalitis virus; West Nile encephalitis
virus; Eastern, Western and Venzuelan equine
encephalitis virus; tick borne encephalitis virus
• Bunyaviruses – examples: La Crosse strain of
California virus
• Reoviruses – example: Colorado tick fever virus
• Arenaviruses – example: lymphocytic
choriomeningitis virus
9. • Arboviruses = arthropod-borne viruses
• Arboviruses are maintained in nature through
biological transmission between susceptible
vertebrate hosts by blood-feeding arthropods
• Vertebrate infection occurs when the
infected arthropod takes a blood meal
10. Flaviviridae – Japanese encephalitis – St.
Louis encephalitis – West Nile
Togaviridae – Eastern equine encephalitis –
Western equine encephalitis
Bunyaviridae – La Crosse encephalitis
11. • Flavivirus related to St. Louis encephalitis
• Most important cause of arboviral
encephalitis worldwide, with over 45,000
cases reported annually
• Transmitted by culex mosquito, which breeds
in rice fields
• Mosquitoes become infected by feeding on
domestic pigs and wild birds infected with
Japanese encephalitis virus. Infected
mosquitoes transmit virus to humans and
animals during the feeding process.
12. Flavivirus
Primary host – wild birds
Principal arthropod vector – mosquitoes
Geographic distribution - Africa, Middle
East, Western Asia, Europe, Australia, North
America, Central America
13. Flavivirus
Most common mosquitotransmitted human
pathogen in the US
Leading cause of epidemic flaviviral
encephalitis
14. • Togavirus
• Caused by a virus transmitted to humans and
horses by the bite of an infected mosquito.
• 200 confirmed cases in the US 1964-present
• Human cases occur relatively infrequently,
largely because the primary transmission
cycle takes place in swamp areas where
populations tend to be limited.
15. • Togavirus
• Mosquito-borne
• 639 confirmed cases in the US since 1964
• Important cause of encephalitis in horses and
humans in North America, mainly in the
Western parts of the US and Canada
16. • Bunyavirus
• On average 75 cases per year reported
• Most cases occur in children under 16 years
old
• Zoonotic pathogen that cycles between the
daytime biting treehole mosquito, and
vertebrate amplifier hosts (tree squirrel) in
deciduous forest habitats
• 1963 – isolated in La Crosse, WI from the
brain of a child who died from encephalitis
17. Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1), which is
responsible for cold sores
HSV-2, which is responsible for genital herpes
Varicella zoster virus, which causes chicken pox
and shingles
Epstein-Barr virus, which causes mononucleosis
Childhood viruses that can cause encephalitis
include:
Measles (rubeola)
German measles (rubella)
Mumps
18. Symptoms in newborns and younger infants
may not be as easy to recognize:
Body stiffness
Irritability and crying more often (these
symptoms may get worse when the baby is
picked up)
Poor feeding
Soft spot on the top of the head may bulge
out more
Vomiting
19. Loss of consciousness, poor responsiveness, stupor,
coma
Muscle weakness or paralysis
Seizures
Severe headache
Sudden change in mental functions:
"Flat" mood, lack of mood, or mood that is
inappropriate for the situation
Impaired judgment
Inflexibility, extreme self-centeredness, inability to
make a decision, or withdrawal from social
interaction
Less interest in daily activities
Memory loss (amnesia), impaired short-term or long-
term memory
20. Viral encephalitis is a serious medical condition.
Although there are no specific medications to treat
it, people with symptoms are often given the
antiviral medication acyclovir (Zovirax).
It works against herpes simplex and varicella-zoster
viruses.
21. Acyclovir (Zovirax) -- treats encephalitis
caused by HSV, VZV,
EBV Ganciclovir (Cytovene) -- treats
encephalitis caused by cytomegalovirus and
HSV1 Anticonvulsant medications -- prevent
and treat seizures that may happen with
encephalitis
22. The goals of treatment are to provide
supportive care (rest, nutrition, fluids) to
help the body fight the infection, and to
relieve symptoms.
Reorientation and emotional support for
confused or delirious people may be helpful.
Who can think of some examples of
treatments? Discuss and share.
23. Eat antioxidant foods, including fruits (such as
blueberries, cherries, and tomatoes), and
vegetables (such as squash and bell peppers).
Avoid refined foods, such as white breads, pastas,
and especially sugar.
Eat fewer red meats and more lean meats, cold-
water fish, tofu (soy, if no allergy), or beans for
protein.
Use healthy oils in foods, such as olive oil or
vegetable oil.
Avoid caffeine, alcohol, and tobacco.
Drink 6 - 8 glasses of filtered water daily.
24. Give plenty of oral fluids.
Maintain fluid balance
Provide additional warmth by blanket if
needed
Provide proper ventilation.
25. Permanent brain damage may occur in
severe cases of encephalitis.
It can affect:
Hearing
Memory
Muscle control
Sensation
Speech
Vision
26. Over the past month, deaths of hundreds of
people in a fresh outbreak of encephalitis, in
the northern town of Gorakhpur U.P., have
increased.
In recent monsoons, more than 500 have
died with 2 or 3 dying everyday just in
Gorakhpur U.P.
Outbreak of encephalitis happen every year
due to monsoon rains.
27.
28. 1. Further inpatient care:
Admission of the patient to the hospital, as
necessary.
• 2. Prevention
Immunization against JE is recommended for
those traveling into endemic areas during
high-risk times of year and this must be
explained to the patient
29. Summarize what you have learned.
Analyze the information provided and think
of ways to prevent encephalitis.
Think of ways to help those who are
suffering
Share this information with others.
One of the best ways to master something is
to teach it to someone else.
Be as safe, clean, and healthy as possible.
