We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
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.
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.
2. • This is a guide to finding citation information using Web of
Science.
• For an introductory guide to accessing and using Web of
Science see Web of Science: Finding journal articles and basic
citation information (Web of Science 1).
• For information on creating Journal Citation Reports see Web
of Science: Journal Citation Reports (Web of Science 3).
Web of Science help
3. Web of Science (WoS) provides access to citation information. Use it to:
• Find out how many times a paper has been cited i.e. Gauge its usefulness,
quality or impact.
• Discover which articles have cited an earlier article i.e. Articles which cite an
earlier work will be on a similar or related subject, so may be useful.
• Access citation reports for a subject i.e. Discover which articles have had the
most impact in a subject area (seeguide: Web of Science 3).
• And much more….
This guide explains the range of citation information available and how to
access it including:
Times Cited
Article/Paper Impact
Journal Impact
Citation Reports
Analyze Results
Cited References Search
What it does
4. Enter your search terms in to the search box
Your search results are ordered by
relevance. You can change how the
references are ordered in a number of
ways by clicking on the drop-down menu,
including by times cited. Citations: highest
first will show you which articles have had
the greatest impact for the subject
searched.
The number of times that
a paper has been cited is
indicated here.
5. Click on the number
next to a reference
(in this case 1,824)
to see a list of citing
papers. These are
papers which have
cited (refer to) the
original paper.
You can also create an alert
for the subject searched by
clicking here and registering
with WoS. This alert will tell
you when new items on your
subject are added to WoS.
See a list of citing papers by clicking here
6. This is the number of times this paper
has been cited. Click on the number to
see a list of these citing articles.
Click on the title to display the full record.
Create a citation alert for this paper. You
will then receive an email alert when
someone cites it.
Usage Count is another way of gauging
the usefulness of a paper. It reflects the
number of times the full-text paper has
been accessed via direct link or Open-
URL or by saving the article for use in a
bibliographic management tool. The
Usage Count is a record of all activity
performed by all Web of Science users,
not just users at your institution.
Discover a paper’s impact….
7. When you find a useful paper you
can discover the impact of the
journal that published it (in this
case the journal IEEE Transactions
on Patten Analysis and Machine
Intelligence) by scrolling down to
‘Journal information’. Click on the
journal name for more impact
information.
To learn more about journal impact
see our guide: Web of Science 3:
Journal Citation Reports.
View the impact of a journal
8. Create a Citation Report
for the subject you have
searched (in this case
Human Computer
Interaction). This report will
show which papers have
had the most impact in the
subject you are
researching.
More information on next
slide.
In order to create
a Citation Report
the number of
search results
needs to be less
than 10,000 items
so you may need
to refine your
search.
Create a Citation Report for your subject
9. Citing Articles provides lists of
papers that have cited the
topic searched for.
This report only
includes citations
to items indexed
within WoS, so
does not include
citations to items
not included
within WoS.
Publications
indicates how
many publications
cited the topic in
any given year.
This is the total number of
citations for all of the items
found in the search results.
This graph indicates how
many times the topic has
been cited within the date
range of the search.
More detail is provided here
for each individual paper from
the search results including
citations per year and an
overall average.
A Citation Report provides citation information for
the subject searched
10. For further analysis of search results….
….click on ‘Analyze Results’ to
get a quick overview of your
search results, and discover
trends.
Results analysis enables you to
see your search results in a
visualization. The default display
is by WoS (subject) Categories,
but you can also change the
display to show Publication Years,
Document Types, Authors etc.
More information on
next slide.
11. By choosing Document Types
we can see that most of our
search results are Proceedings
Papers (conference
proceedings), many are [Journal]
Articles, and the rest are other
document types such as Review
Articles, Data Papers etc. This
visualization can also be viewed
as a bar chart.
However you choose to display
your search results in the
visualization (i.e. Document
Types, Publication Years, WoS
Categories etc), it is possible to
refine your search further by
selecting fields from the data
table. Refining will return you to
the new search results.
Example of results analysis by Document Types
12. Select ‘Cited References’
on the home screen and
then add information that
you have such as author,
source or other
bibliographic information
such as volume/issue
number etc. Use the drop-
down menu to ensure that
you are searching in the
correct field….
A Cited References search always starts with a known work and is a way of finding articles
which have cited it. However this search provides different information from a Citation Report
in that it includes items not indexed by WoS and also finds ‘reference variants’ i.e. where an
item or part of an item has been cited incorrectly. Therefore a Cited References search is
important for a comprehensive literature search.
….when you are ready,
click on ‘Search’. More information on next slide.
Another way of searching is by Cited Reference
13. Select the citation(s) that
interest you and click on
‘See Results’….
....you will then see a list of
papers which have cited the
article searched.
These papers will probably be on
similar or related subjects to the
original article searched for in the
Cited References search, so may be
useful.
You can now see a list of references which match your search
