This document discusses lightning injuries and safety. It begins by explaining how lightning forms due to an imbalance of electrical charges within clouds and between clouds and the ground. It then describes the various ways lightning can injure people, either through a direct strike, contact with a struck object, or traveling through the ground. Common injury symptoms include burns, paralysis, vision/hearing loss, and cardiac issues. First aid involves calling for help and providing CPR if needed. Indoor and outdoor safety tips are provided to minimize lightning risk.
Fracture & dislocation is well described in Ayurveda. Sushruta Samhita have a separate chapter for bhagna etiology, features, types, prognosis, Management by name of Bhagna-Kandabhagna-Sandhimukta. The basics principles and management of fracture are accurate as per modern orthopedics.

Gridhrasi is defined as Stambha (stiffness), Ruk (pain), Toda (pricking pain) in a radiating manner along with Spandana (tingling sensation) starting from Kati Pradesha (low back) to Prushtha (back), Janu (knee joints), Jangha (calf muscles) and Pada (dorso lateral aspect of feet) of either one side of the lower limb or may involve both lower limbs. This condition makes raising of the affected leg difficult.

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.

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. Visible electrical discharge from a cloud. This happens when
there is an imbalance of charges between a region of the cloud
and another surface (usually the ground, a building, another
region of the same cloud, or another cloud) that is significant
enough to break through air resistance.
Begins as static charges in a rain cloud. Winds inside the cloud
are very turbulent. Water droplets in the bottom part of the
cloud are caught in the updrafts and lifted to great heights
where the much colder atmosphere freezes them. Meanwhile,
downdrafts in the cloud push ice and hail down from the top of
the cloud. Where the ice going down meets the water coming up,
electrons are stripped off.
It's a little more complicated than that, but what results is a
cloud with a negatively charged bottom and a positively charged
top. These electrical fields become incredibly strong, with the
atmosphere acting as an insulator between them in the cloud.
When the strength of the charge overpowers the insulating
properties of the atmosphere.
LIGHTNING
3. LIGHTNINGINJURIES Lightning can injure a person in several ways:
1. Lightning can strike a person directly.
2. Electricity from lightning can reach a person who
is touching or near an object that has been struck.
3. Electrical current can reach a person through the
ground.
4. The shock can throw a person, causing blunt
injuries.
4. RISKFACTORSOFLIGHtNINGINJURIES
Failure to acknowledge that lightning poses a
threat.
Lightning safety and injury prevention are not
convenient.
Lack of knowledge of lightning danger and the
mechanisms of injury also contribute to the risk.
Popular belief of nothing attracts lightning.
5. TYPESOFLIGHTNINGINJURIES:
• Direct strike: uninterrupted connection between lightning bolt and object
or person (rare)
• Contact injury: lightning strikes object which the patient is touching (such
as car)
• Side splash/flash: lightning strikes nearby object or person and current
splashes or jumps onto the patient
• Ground current (step voltage): lightning strikes ground near the patient
and passes through ground into the patient
• Upward streamer
o strong negative charge in the atmosphere during storm induces a strong
positive charge in objects (such as towers, trees, or a person) underneath
it on the ground
o the positive charge is pulled upward towards the negatively charged
atmosphere (upward streamer)
o injury occurs if there is contact between the upward streamer and
lightning strike but upward streamers without lighting contact can also
cause injury
Patients may also suffer from blast injury (nonelectrical) due to
lightning's blast effect (shock waves and thunder)
• primary blast injury usually manifests as ruptured tympanic membranes
• tertiary blast injury usually presents as blunt trauma when patient falls or
is thrown
6. SYMPTOMSOFLIGHTNINGINJURIES
Lightning injuries can cause mild to severe signs and symptoms. They might be
temporary, or they might be permanent. Asystole and other arrhythmias, and
symptoms of brain dysfunction like amnesia, confusion, or loss of
consciousness, can all be brought on by an electrical charge.
Keraunoparalysis: It is characterized by sensory deficits, lower and
occasionally upper extremity paralysis, mottling, coldness, and pulselessness.
The sympathetic nervous system is most likely to blame for the injury.
Keraunoparalysis is frequent and typically goes away in a few hours, though it
can occasionally cause some degree of permanent paresis. Additional signs of
lightning damage include:
Loss of vision or hearing.
Chest pain or an erratic or rapid heartbeat
Breathing difficulty.
Muscle aches, stiffness, weakness, or momentary paralysis.
Weak or absent pulse, fainting.
Punctate or feathered, branched, minor skin burns
Perforation of the tympanic membrane
Cataracts (within days)
• Confusion, poor cognitive function, and peripheral neuropathy are possible
neurological issues. In addition, there may be neuropsychological issues, such
as sleep disturbances, attention deficit, and memory issues.
Cardiopulmonary arrest is the most
frequent cause of death during the strike.
The most frequent long-term sequelae are
cognitive deficits, pain syndromes, and
sympathetic nervous system damage
(including erectile dysfunction).
7. DIAGNOSTICPROCEDURES • ECG (electrocardiogram) to check the heart
• Heart monitor to watch for arrhythmias (rhythm disturbances
of the heart)
• CT scan of the brain or abdomen
• X-rays
• Laboratory tests such as blood count and chemistries
including enzymes that may indicate heart damage
8. FIRSTAIDFORALIGHTNINGSTRIKE
1.Call for medical emergency help immediately.
2.The victim will not have any electrical charge on them. It is
safe for you to touch them.
3.Follow the DRSABCD protocol.
4.Check if the person is conscious and responsive. If they are
not responsive, look, listen and feel for breathing.
5.If their breathing is normal, place the person in a recovery
position and continue to monitor their condition for signs of
deterioration.
6.If they are not breathing normally, commence CPR.
7.Continue CPR until help arrives or the person begins
breathing normally.
8.If they have sustained electrical burns, place the burnt area
under cool running water for 20 minutes. Cover the burns
with a sterile gauze bandage or a clean cloth. Do not use a
towel as the loose fibres can stick to the burns.
9. IndoorSafetyTips
Avoid water. Do NOT bathe, shower, wash dishes, or have any other
contact with water during a thunderstorm because lightning can travel
through a building’s plumbing.
Don’t touch electronic equipment. Do NOT use anything
connected to an electrical outlet, such as computers, laptops, game
systems, washers, dryers, or stoves. Lightning can travel through
electrical systems, radio and television reception systems, and any
metal wires or bars in concrete walls or flooring.
Avoid windows, doors, porches, and concrete. Stay away
from windows and doors, and stay off porches.
Don’t use corded phones. Corded phones are NOT safe to use
during a thunderstorm.
LIGHTNING SAFETY TIPS
10. OutdoorSafetyTips
Be aware. Check the weather forecast before participating in
outdoor activities.
Go indoors or seek shelter immediately, even if caught
out in the open. Remember the phrase, “When thunder roars, go
indoors.”
Separate from others. If you are in a group during a
thunderstorm, separate from each other. This will reduce the number
of injuries if lightning strikes the ground.
If you are out in the open water and a storm rolls in,
return to shore immediately.
Don’t stay in open vehicles.
Don’t stay in open structures and avoid open spaces.
Don’t stay near tall structures.
