The present work is the report of an intern, who through the theme: "Drugs" shows the importance of the use of didactic sequence in the teaching of chemistry for the construction of concepts. The content was applied in classes of the 3rd year of high school, in a public school, in the city of Apucarana - PR. In this sense, the main types…

The purpose of the study was to identify the - interventions that can be adopted for teaching chemistry disciplines to the graduates majoring in Pharmacy (Mpharm) in Ukraine. The study employed a systematic review methodology and a qualitative approach to synthesising the sources. The triangular assessment method was used to rate the short-listed…

We have implemented at the University of Málaga (Spain) a new course-based undergraduate research experience (CURE) to involve undergraduate students of Science in a real-world scientific problem. Within the topic "Let's find acetylcholinesterase inhibitors as new drug candidates for the treatment of Alzheimer's", students have been…

Devoted to the late Paul Virilio (1932-2018) and in the advent of debates surrounding the Anthropocene and in light of corresponding changes to conceptions of scale and image, this paper attempts to extrapolate a Virilian pedagogy of the image. It is Virilio's work which remains timely and singularly fecund in this area and it is for this reason…

Understanding the relationship between protein structure and function can be challenging for students. Molecular visualization software aids students in this problem by allowing manipulation of structures from new and deeper perspectives. In this communication, an activity using iMolview Lite, structure visualization software for portable devices,…

This interventional study implemented flipped classroom pedagogy to enhance pharmacy students' academic performance in a physiology course. Ninety-six Pharm. D students enrolled at a private-sector University of Islamabad, Pakistan were provided with video lectures and reading material for pre-sessional learning followed by a faculty-led…

During drug development, a biomarker is sometimes identified as separating a patient population into those with more and those with less benefit from evaluated treatments. Consequently, later studies might be targeted, while earlier ones are performed in mixed patient populations. This poses a challenge in evidence synthesis, especially if only…

Collaboration between industry and universities is a driving force for scientific and technological advancements. Due to the role of AstraZeneca (AZ), a British-Swedish multinational pharmaceutical and biotechnology company, in combatting the COVID-19 pandemic, an analysis of the collaboration between the company and universities in the UK is of…

Recently there is an increasing need for experiments that can be conducted remotely. In this sense, this paper presents three experiments about materials science and an X-ray diffraction (XRD) technique that can be taught and performed entirely remotely. The first experiment is about the calculation of lattice parameters, atomic radii, and…

The pharmacology course is difficult and complex for many nursing students. Pharmacology instructors yearn to create joy of learning in their classrooms. One of the time tested techniques that engages learners is storytelling. A sound storyline piques audience interest and allows them to relate and build their connections. This study aims to…

During COVID-19 lockdowns, online learning activities had to be developed for the Undergraduate and Masters by Coursework Bioinformatics students at RMIT University. Therefore, we designed an integrative, industry-based research assignment, which guided the students through a drug discovery project from target identification to lead optimization.…

This study aimed to explore experiences and practices of key research team members in obtaining informed consent for pharmacogenetics research and to identify the approaches used for enhancing understanding during the consenting process. Data collection involved 15 qualitative, in-depth interviews with key researchers who were involved in…

Engaging undergraduate students in large classes is a constant challenge for many lecturers, as student participation and engagement can be limited. This is a concern since there is a positive correlation between increased engagement and student success. The lack of student feedback on content delivery prevents lecturers from identifying topics…

Pain is a multidimensional and subjective experience, and an ideal pain management regime needs to be comprehensive, integrative and involve all relevant persons. Multimodal interventions may include pharmacological, physical, social, psychological and spiritual approaches in order to address pain management at a molecular, functional,…

We compared the influence of open-book extended duration versus closed book time-limited format on reliability and validity of written assessments of pharmacology learning outcomes within our medical and dental courses. Our dental cohort undertake a mid-year test (30xfree-response short answer to a question, SAQ) and end-of-year paper (4xSAQ,…
