This document discusses water, electrolyte, and acid-base balance in the human body. It covers several key points:
- Water makes up about 60% of the human body and is essential for biochemical reactions and transport. The body carefully regulates water intake, output, and distribution between intracellular and extracellular fluid.
- Electrolytes like sodium, potassium, and chloride are important for maintaining fluid balance and osmotic pressure. The kidneys play a key role in regulating electrolyte concentrations through hormones.
- Acid-base balance is critical and maintained through buffers, respiratory and renal systems that regulate bicarbonate and carbon dioxide levels to keep blood pH between 7.35-7.45. Dis

URINE
Major route of water loss
Normal urine 1-2L/day.
Water loss through kidneys well regulated to meet body demands.
Urine production cannot be completely shut down, despite there being no water intake
due to the fact that some amount of water (about 500ml/day) is essential as the medium to eliminate the waste products from the body.
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.

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.
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.
2. Introduction
• Organisms possesses capacity to survive against odds and maintain
homeostasis.
• Maintaining homeostasis is very important for water, electrolyte and
acid-base status of the body.
• Kidney actively participates in the regulation of water, electrolyte and
acid-base balance.
3. WATER AND LIFE
• Water is the solvent of life and it is involved in several body functions.
―It provides the aqueous medium which is essential for the various
biochemical reactions to occur
―Directly participates as a reactant in several metabolic reactions.
― It serves as a vehicle for transport of solutes.
― It is closely associated with the regulation of body temperature.
4. WATER AND LIFE….
• An adult human contains about 60% water (men 55-70%, women 45-
60%).
• A 70 kg normal man contains about 42 liters of water. This is
distributed as
• Intracellular fluid (ICF) 28L
• extracellular fluid (ECF) 14L
• Interstitial fluid 10.5L
• plasma 3.5L
5. WATER TURNOVER AND BALANCE
• The body possesses capacity to regulate its water content
• This regulation is achieved by balancing the daily water intake and
water output
6. WATER TURNOVER AND BALANCE…
• Water is supplied to the body by exogenous and endogenous sources
• Exogenous water are the ingested water, beverages and water
content of solid foods
• Ingestion of water is mainly controlled by a thirst center located in the
hypothalamus.
• Increase in the osmolality of plasma causes increased water intake by
stimulating thirst centre.
• Endogenous water are the metabolic water produced within the
body
• This water (300-350 ml/day) is derived from the oxidation of foodstuffs
7. WATER TURNOVER AND BALANCE…
• Water is removed from the body in four distinct routes:
1. Urine :
• This is the major route for water loss from the body.
• In a healthy individual, the urine output is about 1-2 L/day
• Water excretion by the kidney is controlled by vasopressin also called
antidiuretic hormone (ADH) secreted from posterior pituitary gland.
• ADH secretion leads to an increased water reabsorption from the renal
tubules (less urine output)
• Diabetes insipidus is a disorder characterized by the deficiency of ADH which
results in an increased loss of water from the body
8. WATER TURNOVER AND BALANCE…
• Water is removed from the body in four distinct routes:
2. Skin :
• Loss of water (450 ml/day) occurs through the body surface by
perspiration
3. Lungs :
• During respiration, some amount of water (about 400 ml/day) is lost through
the expired air
4. Feces
• Most of the water entering the gastrointestinal tract is reabsorbed by the
intestine
• About 150 ml/day is lost through feces in a healthy individual
• Fecal loss of water is tremendously increased in diarrhea
9. ELECTROLYTE BALANCE
• Electrolytes are the compounds which readily dissociate in solution
and exist as ions
• The concentration of electrolytes are expressed as milliequivalents
(mEq/l)
• A gram equivalent weight of a compound is defined as its weight in grams
that can combine or displace 1 g of hydrogen
• One gram equivalent weight is equivalent to 1,000 milliequivalents.
The above formula is employed to convert the concentration mg/l to mEq/l.
10. Electrolyte composition of body fluids
• Electrolytes are well distributed in the body fluids in order to maintain
the osmotic equilibrium and water balance
11. Osmolarity and osmolality of body fluids
• Osmolarity is the number of moles (or millimoles) per liter of solution
• Osmolality is the number of moles (or millimoles) per kg of solvent.
• If the solvent is pure water, there is almost no difference between
osmolarity and osmolality.
• For biological fluids, the osmolality is more commonly used. This is
about 6% greater than osmolarity.
12. Osmolality of plasma, ECF and ICF
• The osmolality of plasma is in the range of
285-295 milliosmoles/kg
• Sodium and its associated anions make the
largest contribution (~90%) to plasma
osmolality.
• Osmolality is generally measured by
osmometer.
• Plasma osmolality can be computed from
the concentrations (mmol/l) of Na+, K+,
urea and glucose as follows
13. Osmolality of plasma, ECF and ICF…
• Movement of water across the biological membranes is dependent on
the osmotic pressure differences between the intracellular fluid (ICF)
and extracellular fluid (ECF).
• In a healthy state, the osmotic pressure of ECF, mainly due to Na+
ions, is equal to the osmotic pressure of ICF which is predominantly
due to K+ ions.
14. Regulation of electrolyte balance
• Electrolyte and water balance are regulated together and the kidneys
play a predominant role in this regard.
• The regulation is mostly achieved through the hormones aldosterone,
ADH and renin-angiotensin
15. Regulation of electrolyte balance…
• Aldosterone :
• produced by adrenal cortex.
• Aldosterone increases Na+ reabsorption by the renal tubules at the expense of K+ and H+
ions.
• Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) :
• An increase in the plasma osmolality stimulates hypothalamus to release ADH.
• ADH increases water reabsorption by renal tubules so it decreases plasma osmolality
• Renin-angiotensin :
• The secretion of aldosterone is controlled by renin-angiotensin system.
• Decrease in the blood pressure is sensed by juxtaglomerular apparatus of the nephron
which secrete renin.
• Renin acts on angiotensinogen to produce angiotensin I.
• Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) converts angiotensin I to angiotensin II which
stimulates the release of aldosterone.
16. Regulation of electrolyte balance…
• Atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) or
atriopeptin is a 28-amino acids
containing peptide.
• It is produced in the atrium of heart in
response to increased blood volume,
elevated blood pressure and high salt
intake.
• ANF acts on kidneys to increase GFR,
sodium excretion and urine output.
18. Na+ concentration and ECF
• Na+ and its anions (mainly Cl–) are confined to the extracellular fluid.
• The retention of water in the ECF is directly related to the osmotic
effect of these ions Na+ and Cl–.
19. Dietary intake and electrolyte balance
• The consumption of a well balanced diet supplies the body
requirement of electrolytes.
• Humans do not possess the ability to distinguish between the salt
hunger and water hunger.
• Thirst may regulate electrolyte intake also.
• In hot climates, the loss of electrolyte is usually higher.
20. Dehydration
• Dehydration is a condition characterized by water depletion in the
body.
• It may be due to insufficient intake or excessive water loss or both.
• Dehydration is generally classified into two types.
1. Due to loss of water alone.
2. Due to deprivation of water and electrolytes.
• Dehydration may occur as a result of
• diarrhea, vomiting, excessive sweating, fluid loss in burns, adrenocortical
dysfunction, kidney diseases (e.g. renal insufficiency), deficiency of ADH
(diabetes insipidus) etc
• There are three degrees of dehydration—mild, moderate and severe
21. Dehydration…
• The salient features of dehydration are:
1. The volume of the extracellular fluid is decreased with a concomitant rise in
electrolyte concentration and osmotic pressure.
2. Water is drawn from the intracellular fluid that results in shrunken cells and
disturbed metabolism e.g. increased protein breakdown.
3. ADH secretion is increased. This causes increased water retention in the body
and consequently urine volume is very low.
4. Plasma protein and blood urea concentrations are increased.
5. Water depletion is often accompanied by a loss of electrolytes from the body
(Na+, K+ etc.).
6. The principal clinical symptoms of severe dehydration include increased pulse
rate, low blood pressure, sunken eyeballs, decreased skin turgor, lethargy,
confusion and coma.
22. Dehydration…
• The treatment choice of dehydration is the intake of plenty of water.
• In the subjects who cannot take water orally, it is administered
intravenously in an isotonic solution (usually 5% glucose).
• If the dehydration is accompanied by loss of electrolytes, the same
should be administered by oral or intravenous routes.
23. Osmotic imbalance and dehydration in cholera
• Cholera is transmitted through water and foods, contaminated by the
bacterium Vibrio cholerae.
• This bacterium produces a toxin which stimulates the intestinal cells
to secrete various ions into the intestinal lumen.
• These ions raise the osmotic pressure and suck the water into lumen which
results in diarrhea with a heavy loss of water (5–10 liters/day)
• Oral rehydration therapy (ORT) is commonly used to treat cholera and
other diarrheal diseases
24. Overhydration
• It is also called water intoxication and it is caused by excessive retention of
water in the body.
• This may occur due to excessive intake of large volumes of salt free fluids, renal
failure, overproduction of ADH etc.
• Overhydration is observed after major trauma or operation, lung infections
etc.
• Water intoxication is associated with dilution of ECF and ICF with a
decrease in osmolality.
• The clinical symptoms include headache, lethargy and convulsions.
• The treatment advocated is to stop water intake and administration of
hypertonic saline
26. Metabolism of electrolytes
• The body distribution, dietary intake, intestinal absorption and biochemical
functions of individual electrolytes are discussed under the chapter of
mineral metabolism
• Electrolyte disorders, particularly hypernatremia and hyponatremia (of
sodium); hyperkalemia and hypokalemia (of potassium) are also under the
chapter of mineral metabolism
• Diuretics are the drugs that stimulate water and sodium excretion, so that
urine volume is increased
• Examples are diuretics are bendrofluazide, frusemide, spironolactone and mannitol.
• Diuretics are important in the treatment of edema, heart failure and
hypertension
27. ACID-BASE BALANCE
• The normal pH of the blood is maintained in the narrow range of
7.35-7.45.
• Maintenance of blood pH is an important homeostatic mechanism of
the body.
• Changes in blood pH will alter the intracellular pH which, in turn,
influence the metabolism
• The blood pH compatible to life is 6.8-7.8.
28. Production of acids by the body
• The metabolism of the body is accompanied by an overall production
of acids. E.g: carbonic acid, lactic acid, sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid
etc
• A diet rich in animal proteins results in more acid production by the
body and leads to the excretion of urine which is acidic.
29. Production of bases by the body
• The formation of basic compounds in the body, in the normal
circumstances, is negligible.
• Some amount of bicarbonate is generated from the organic acids such
as lactate and citrate.
• A vegetarian diet has a tendency for a net production of bases
30. MAINTENANCE OF BLOOD pH
• There are three ways of regulating the body’s acid-base balance and
maintain the blood pH:
1. Blood buffers
2. Respiratory mechanism
3. Renal mechanism.
31. MAINTENANCE OF BLOOD pH
1. Blood buffers
i. Bicarbonate buffer
ii. Phosphate buffer
iii. Protein buffer.
