The Birth of the Industrial Revolution in Britain 1707 to 1830   Course Description   Introduction The Industrial Revolution started in Britain in the eighteenth century. A number of factors converged to create the conditions for developments in industry and science. Agricultural improvements created a cadre of wealthy landowners with money to invest. Improved educational opportunities, particularly in Scotland, created a broader set of young people with ideas and ambition. Greater religious freedom allowed individuals of talent to develop businesses. Interest in science and technology blossomed and the birth of the coffee house culture brought people with ideas into the orbit of those with money. But it was not all rosy. The new culture of ideas and experimentation was almost entirely limited to men. A woman’s place was seen to be in the home. At the same time the slave trade flourished providing much of the wealth for investment and, shamefully, Britain was a key facilitator in this odious business – and there were few voices of dissent at the time. And the poor lived short and brutish lives of hard physical work in grim conditions with an inadequate diet and very little healthcare. In this course I am going to take you through the key milestones of the early industrial revolution – in the textile industry, in coal mining and iron production, in civil engineering; in the development of steam power and the birth of the railways.     Course Pre-Requisites There are no course pre-requisites.     What Students will Learn The history of the industrial revolution in Britain from 1707 to 1830 The factors that created the conditions for the industrial revolution Developments in the textile industry in the eighteenth century The development of steam as a source of power The birth of steam locomotion Developments in coal, coke and iron Civil engineering in the eighteenth century Scientific developments in the eighteenth century     Curriculum SS1 The Birth of the Industrial Revolution 6 mins SS2 The Textiles Revolution 13 min SS3 The Birth of the Steam Engine 10 mins SS4 The Age of Steam Locomotion 14 mins SS5 Fuelling the Industrial Revolution 10 mins SS6 The Engineering Revolution 6 mins SS7 The Scientific Revolution 18 mins SS8 Black Lives during the Industrial Revolution 5 mins SS9 The Birth of the Industrial Revolution 2 mins SS10 The Industrial Revolution History Quiz 19 mins   Total time: 1 hour 44 minutes     Additional Resources None     Course Tutor Your tutor is Ross Maynard.

Description Infertility Awareness Diploma  The Infertility Awareness Diploma course is a gem for those who work in private clinics and practices dealing with fertility treatments. It can also act as the first step for people who want to start a career in this industry. Some emotions, thoughts, and behaviours may negatively impact a person conceiving a baby, increasing depression and anxiety. Psychological and emotional factors can block conception. The key lies in the relationship between partners trying to conceive together. Suppose you harbour any feelings of resentment or anger towards your significant other. In that case, if you do not enjoy your sexual relationship and do not feel a real connection to your partner and are simply partaking in the activities without passion, it can become challenging to conceive together. In the United Kingdom, several clinics are licensed and provide services from investigations to treatments for individuals facing fertility problems. Every clinic must employ an independent infertility counsellor who is a part of the staff at the clinic. Some of these counsellors work outside the clinic's premises as well. Some advertise their services online, while others advertise through local media or the National Health Society job website. If becoming an infertility therapist or counsellor interests you, you should consider enrolling in the Infertility Awareness Diploma course. This is one sector where every kind of experience is a valuable addition. Every person is entitled to enjoy the highest level and standard attainable for physical and psychological health. Individual persons and couples have the right to decide their children's number, spacing, and timing. The problem of infertility is detrimental to realising such essential and fundamental human rights. Thus, addressing infertility is critical to reducing gender disparity. Both men and women can face infertility problems; however, women with male partners are more prone to suffering infertility, whether or not there is actual physical truth. Infertility can significantly impact people's social lives negatively- both the social lives of couples and, particularly, the woman's. Women too often experience divorce, violence, emotional stress, social stigma, anxiety, low self-confidence and esteem, and depression. The Infertility Awareness Diploma programme was designed to help students understand this problem. This condition has been plaguing societies down to its roots and causes and learned how to diagnose and treat it. There are some cases where the fear of infertility leads to men and women being sceptical about using contraception. Some often experience social pressure to prove to others at a young age that they are fertile. This is a result of the high value placed by society on childbearing. These cases show the need for awareness-raising and education on the determinants and prevalence of fertility and infertility. Interventions must be accessible, available, and of high quality to address these issues effectively, a challenge in many nations. The diagnosis and treatment of infertility are sometimes not a priority at the national level. It is also rare to find reproductive health and development strategies and policies that cover whole populations sourced financially by public health plans. There is also an inadequate number of trained people, and some lack the supporting infrastructure and equipment. Currently, medicines for treatment cost a fortune and stand as a significant hurdle even in countries actively fighting for the needs of individuals with fertility issues. The Infertility Awareness Diploma course will prepare you for this sector, whether you are new or working in it. The programme suits healthcare professionals looking for additional training regarding infertility and who want to provide better service to their clients. What you will learn  1: A brief introduction to infertility and the human anatomy  2: Pre-conception and adopting positive behaviours  3: Conceiving techniques and diseases that affect fertility  4: Seeing a doctor and taking supplements for infertility  5: Finding the problem  6: Early pregnancy loss  7: Intrauterine insemination and IVF  8: Embryo transfer and the IVF cycle  9: Challenges in using a third-party reproduction  10: New advances in fertility treatment  Course Outcomes After completing the course, you will receive a diploma certificate and an academic transcript from Elearn college.

This exercise will help you recall the major aspects covered in the unit and help you ensure that you have not missed anything important in the unit.
