This document discusses the differences between various types of academic events such as symposiums, workshops, seminars, conferences, and congresses. It notes that conferences typically focus on current trends in a field, involve abstract submissions that may undergo peer review, and include both oral and poster presentations. The document provides guidance on writing abstracts for conferences, including following a structured IMRAD format, keeping the abstract concise, and focusing on the study's purpose, methods, key results, and conclusions. It emphasizes including something novel in the abstract and cautioned against submitting already published, plagiarized, fabricated, or incomplete work.

The 'Sutra' is that power of words endowed to mankind to express his thoughts in a short and apt form. These Sutras are the conclusions of exhaustive survey of several years corroborating the experiences of ages. As the definition of Sutra states.
The one which comprises of minimum letters but maximum matter which is in the form of confirmed pure knowledge, and also possessing the power of self elaboration is defined as Sutra.
The Sutras possessing such a broad speculum are collected to comprehend the Samhita or Tantra. But the essence of the Samhita is extracted in its Sutrasthana only. The main and important classic, which narrates Ayurveda Shastra, is Caraka Samhita, which is the foundation stone of Ayurvedic literature. This Dwadasha Sahasri Samhita is also divided in eight Sthanas, amongst them the Sutrasthana which is most important being the Adyasthana and is representive of rest Sthanas.
Just like a thread, which keeps all the flowers together in garland. similarly Sutrasthana comprises the essence of all Sthanas in seed form.
The nectar from all the flowers of the rest 7 Sthanas is collected to design the Sutrasthana.
The Sutrasthana lies as the Madhusancaya of the Samhita. This nectar of knowledge has been stored by Acharya Charaka in very beautiful way i.e. in the form of Chatuska Methodology.

Critique Template for a Qualitative StudyCritiquing Qualit.docxtaminklsperaw
Critique Template for a Qualitative Study
Critiquing Qualitative
What is a critique? Simply stated, a critique is a critical analysis undertaken for some purpose. Nurses critique research for three main reasons: to improve their practice, to broaden their understanding, and to provide a base for the conduct of a study.
When the purpose is to improve practice, nurses must give special consideration to questions such as these:
Are the research findings appropriate to my practice setting and situation?
What further research or pilot studies need to be done, if any, before incorporating findings into practice to assure both safety and effectiveness?
How might a proposed change in practice trigger changes in other aspects of practice?
To help you synthesize your learning throughout this course and prepare you to utilize research in your practice, you will be critiquing a qualitative, quantitative, or mixed-methods research study of your choice.
If the article is unavailable in a full-text version through the Walden University Library, you must
e-mail the article as a PDF or Word attachment to your Instructor.
QUALITATIVE RESEARCH CRITIQUE
Research Issue and Purpose
What is the research question or issue of the referenced study? What is its purpose? (Sometimes ONLY the purpose is stated clearly and the question must be inferred from the introductory discussion of the purpose.)
Researcher Pre-understandings
Does the article include a discussion of the researcher’s pre-understandings? What does the article disclose about the researcher’s professional and personal perspectives on the research problem?
Literature Review
What is the quality of the literature review? Is the literature review current, relevant? Is there evidence that the author critiqued the literature or merely reported it without critique? Is there an integrated summary of the current knowledge base regarding the research problem, or does the literature review contain opinion or anecdotal articles without any synthesis or summary of the whole? (Sometimes the literature review is incorporated into the introductory section without being explicitly identified.)
Theoretical or Conceptual Framework
Is a theoretical or conceptual framework identified? If so, what is it? Is it a nursing framework or one drawn from another discipline? (Sometimes there is no explicitly identified theoretical or conceptual framework; in addition, many “nursing” research studies draw on a “borrowed” framework, e.g., stress, medical pathology, etc.)
Participants
Who were the participants? Is the setting or study group adequately described? Is the setting appropriate for the research question? What type of sampling strategy was used? Was it appropriate? Was the sample size adequate? Did the researcher stipulate that information redundancy was achieved?
Protection of Human Research Participants
What steps were taken to protect human research subjects?
.
Critiquing research studies and articles is one of the method to improve the quality of research projects and it is also a method to learn research methodology for beginners.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter 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.

Writing abstracts for conferences
1. Writing Abstracts for Conferences
Kishor Patwardhan
Professor, Department of Kriya Sharir, Faculty of Ayurveda, Institute of Medical
Sciences, Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi
2. Symposium, Workshop, Seminar, Conference:
What is the difference?
Symposium
Aimed at knowledge transfer
Small event (Usually one day)
Limited number of participants
Invited lectures by Experts
Scope for interaction: Limited
No abstracts are invited
3. Workshop
Aimed at skill-transfer
Hands-on training is involved
Limited participants
Known experts / expert groups are invited to train the
participants in a pre-planned and structured way
4. Seminar
Serves educational purposes
Presented by budding researchers / students
Exposes them to the process of delivering contents before an
audience
Minimum number of presentations
Limited audience
Specific topics
Scope is well-defined
Example: Pre-PhD thesis submission seminar
5. Conference
– Large event, focuses on current trends in the field
– Pre-planned event
– Diverse topics with sub-themes
– Abstracts normally undergo peer-review
– Plenary lectures (addressing all participants)
– Keynote addresses (addressing individual scientific
sessions)
– Invites abstracts submissions
– Either Oral /Poster presentations
6. Congress / Colloquium
A huge event that includes almost everything:
Conference
Symposia
Workshops
Brainstorming
Roundtable Discussions
7. Purpose of a Conference
Usually focuses on the current trends of education / research /
practices / policies in a field
For a researcher, it is a ‘pre-publication’ event
Opportunity to receive feedback on your work
Opportunity to interact with different groups
You can still improvise upon your work
Poster Presentations: Provides better opportunity to have
feedback / interaction than Oral presentations
9. Kinds of submissions
Original research
Experimental studies (In vitro / in vivo studies, Educational experiments etc)
Surveys / Observational studies
Clinical trials
Discussion / Policy /Theoretical papers
Reviews /Hypothesis / Meta-analyses
Case Reports
10. Pre-requisite
You must have done some serious work before you submit an
abstract ! (Original Research)
You must have given some thoughts on some debatable issues
(Policy / Discussion papers / Theoretical submissions)
You must have developed some new insights after going through
the available literature on a topic (Review)
Originality is the essence
11. Principles of writing an abstract
Transparent, Ethical, Unbiased and Complete reporting of the
work
Complete summary of your work / idea
There must be something ‘New’ (Originality)
12. Parts of an Abstract
(Irrespective of whether it is structured or not)
Title
Authorship
Introduction
Methods
Results
Discussion and Conclusion
13. Title
Title should be complete, specific and should cover the central idea
Should include the key methods like ‘Survey’, or ‘Double blind
Randomized placebo-controlled Trial’, or ‘Observational study’ etc.
Independent and dependent variables should be mentioned (e.g.,
Shvasakuthara Rasa and Tamaka Shvasa)
Name of species (if not human) to be mentioned
Do not use abbreviations, jargon, chemical formulas, series identifiers
14. Title conveys the ‘central idea’
“Immunomodulatory, neuroprotective and longevity enhancing effect
of Emblica officinalis: an in-vivo study in albino rats” Is better than:
“Evaluating the Rasayana effect of Amalaki”
“How did Sushruta treat typhoid?” is better than:
“The concept of Jvara in Sushruta Samhita”
15. Title for a work on clinical research
Setting (location: North Indian states)
Patients (what was studied: diabetic patients with chronic non-healing wounds)
Intervention (treatment: Jatyadi taila)
Comparator (control group: Standard of Care)
Endpoint (outcome of interest: complete re-epithelialization without drainage or
need for dressings)
Design (study design: Prospective, Randomized, Multicenter, Controlled trial)
16. Examples for complete titles
A randomised clinical trial to evaluate the effects of Plantago ovata husk in
Parkinson patients: changes in levodopa pharmacokinetics and biochemical
parameters
Six-month effects of integrative treatment, therapeutic acupuncture and
conventional treatment in alleviating psychological distress in primary care
patients - follow up from an open, pragmatic randomized controlled trial
17. Avoid:
Institution’s name / number of cases in the title
Outcomes of Panchakarma in rheumatoid arthritis: The Mumbai AyuCare
Ayurveda Hospital Experience
Outcomes of Ksharabasti trial in Amavata: A review of 275 Cases with 5-Year
Follow up
Interrogative titles
Diagnosis of gastric ulcer by radiologists and endoscopists: Who is most accurate?
(Usually reserved for editorials/ discussion articles)
18. Avoid:
Declarative Title:
Grape seed extract prevents skeletal muscle wasting
(Results instead of writing what was studied)
Instead, go for complete title:
Effect of grape seed extract on skeletal muscle wasting in interleukin 10
knockout mice
19. Authorship
First Author:
(Usually the corresponding author too)
The one who has carried out the actual work /and the one who wrote the abstract/ and the one who will present it
during the conference
[This is in contrast to a publication]
Last (Senior) Author:
[Corresponding author for publication in a journal]
The one who originally conceived the study, planned it and approved the final manuscript to be published
Second/ third/.. authors:
Who helped in carrying out the work and in manuscript preparation
20. Abstract:
Reader should get the central idea of your work by reading the
abstract
Should be brief
Should state the problem and the hypothesis
Should state the methods (e.g., Random Control Trial/
Observational study etc)
Should summarize the results
Should include inferences of the study
Should not contain known/ generally accepted facts
21. Abstract
Introduction/background: what was the purpose (10%)
Material and methods: what was the study design,
techniques, and statistical methods (30-35%)
Results: what are the most important findings (35-45%)
Conclusions: why are the results important (20-25%)
Cornett, 2001
23. Introduction
What was known? (about the topic)
What was unknown? (about the topic)
Why did you do the study?
What was the research question?
What was the tested hypothesis?
23
24. Methods
When, Where and How did you do the study?
What materials / equipment did you use?

What were the limitations of your study?
27. Goal of an abstract:
“maximum info in minimum space”
Structured
Uses headings to identify
Follows IMRAD format
250 -300 words
Unstructured
Arranged in 1 paragraph
Follows IMRAD format
150 – 200 words
28. What makes a good abstract?
Follows guidelines of the conference
‘Stands alone’ : it is an independent unit of information
Is accurate (check for inconsistencies and omissions)
Is readable and coherent
Includes specific data
Cornett, 2001
29. Steps for writing your abstract
Identify guidelines of the conference
Highlight key features of your work
Insert sentences into abstract format
Write, revise, and condense
Edit sentences and words
Check final
30. Do you find this abstract alright?
Ayurveda is one of the most ancient healthcare systems in the world. The term
Ayurveda consists of two words: ‘Ayu’ and ‘Veda’. ‘Ayu’ means life and Veda
means knowledge. Therefore, Ayurveda means the science of life. In Ayurvedic
literature, immunity has been described as ‘Ojas’. This is of two kinds: ‘Para’ and
‘Apara’. In the recent years, immune system related disorders are being
increasingly recognized and the role of immunomodulatory drugs is being
explored. In Ayurveda, ‘Rasayana’ drugs are described to have immunomodulatory
effect. The present study aims at evaluating the role of Amalaki as an
immunomodulatory agent in animal model. Details are explained in the paper.

32. Peer Review: abstracts
Accepted only if they are exceptionally good
Must provide new insights
Rejected if repetitive and contain known information
There has to be ‘something new’ and ‘interesting’
33. Do NOT submit:
Already published work
(It is already there in the public domain)
Plagiarized work / Cooked data / Falsified / Fabricated / incomplete data (It
will do more harm than help)
The work that you have not done (Your senior’s thesis work !)
34. Advantages of conferences
Abstract is often published
Full paper may be published in proceedings
You can present your work that is still underway and incomplete
Based on the feedback, you can change the direction of your work
Get to know people working in your field
Can establish collaboration with other groups
Most beneficial for young scholars / budding scientists
35. Limitations of conferences
Mushrooming journals are serving the purpose of conferences !
Your work will no more be a secret!
Often Commercial interests dominate
Often promoting self-interest
Often promote only positive studies
