Biology Fundamentals: Cell Structure to Genetics

Module 1: Cells as the Basis of Life

Key Concepts

  • Cell Theory: All organisms are made of cells; cells are the basic units of life; all cells arise from pre-existing cells.
  • Prokaryotes vs. Eukaryotes:
    • Prokaryotes: No nucleus or membrane-bound organelles.
    • Eukaryotes: Complex, possess membrane-bound organelles.

Key Obstetric and Gynecological Conditions: Diagnosis and Management

Analgesia for Labour

Labour pain in the first stage is visceral, arising from cervical dilatation and uterine contractions, transmitted via T10–L1. In the second stage, it becomes somatic due to stretching of the vagina and perineum, transmitted via S2–S4.

Methods for pain relief include:

  • Non-pharmacological: Reassurance, breathing techniques, massage, warm baths, and TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation).
  • Pharmacological (Systemic): Opioids such as pethidine or fentanyl, which may

Psycholinguistics: Language Processing, Speech Perception & Word Learning

1. Introduction to Psycholinguistics

  • Linguistics: structure of language

  • Psycholinguistics: how people use language

  • Competence vs. Performance: ideal knowledge vs. actual use

  • Descriptive vs. Prescriptive: what people do vs. what is prescribed

  • Metalinguistics: reflection on ones own language

  • Levels of Language:

    • Phonology (sounds), Morphology (word parts), Lexicon (words), Syntax (structure)

AAVE Phonetics, Morphosyntax & Lexicon

AAVE Phonetics

  1. Monophthongization: [ai] > [a].
  2. Pin/pen merger: [e] > [i].
  3. Non-rhotic: r-dropping in postvocalic position.
  4. [ju:] > [u:]: (e.g., biutiful > butiful).
  5. Consonant cluster reduction: final consonant disappears (e.g., lift > lif, sand > san, desk > des) (when plural, this does not apply).
  6. Nasal + voiceless stop preservation: with nasal + p, t, k we do not delete anything (e.g., jump, can’t).
  7. [ŋ] > [n]: velar nasal (e.g., -ing) realized as alveolar nasal (e.g., jumping,

Practical CSV and Jupyter Data Extraction with Pandas

Case 2 — Data Extraction and Transformation

Basics of CSV & Jupyter

CSV – Comma Separated Values. Commas separate columns; missing values appear as blank entries or NaN. Jupyter Notebook rules – If running a cell in the middle, run all previous cells first. Keep the kernel up-to-date with earlier variable definitions and avoid running cells out of order to prevent NameError issues.

Volatility and Simple Calculations

Volatility: Defined as values above the median; the median splits the distribution
