MABIOD5000 Computed Tomography Course description

CT er en bildediagnostisk undersøkelsesmetode som benytter ioniserende stråling til å produsere snittbilder, slik at kroppens strukturer kan fremstilles i ulike plan.

Emnet omfatter hovedtemaene:

1) Strålevern 2) CT-teknologi 3) Kontrastmidler 4) Kvalitetskontroll og bildekvalitetsparametere 5) Arbeidsstasjon og bildebehandling 6) Pasientdose, referanseverdier og protokollutvikling.

The course has a portfolio examination consisting of the tests described above. In addition, the portfolio consists of an individual home examination over four days (2,000 words or less). All the components of this examination must be awarded a passing grade for the examination as a whole to be considered passed. All four tests must be approved before the student can take the home examination. If the student fails one test the student will be given another attempt to complete this coursework requirement prior to the examination. Students who fail the examination, will be given a third and final attempt to re-take at all tests prior to the next opportunity to take the examination.

After completing the course, the student is expected to have achieved the following learning outcomes defined in terms of knowledge, skills and general competence:

Knowledge

The student

• is capable of explaining the physical properties of colloids and disperse systems
• has knowledge of solubility and rates of dissolubility
• has knowledge of the composition and production of mixtures, ointments, creams, gels, capsules, granulates and tablets in accordance with basic principles
• is capable of explaining quality control, safety and hygiene in the production of medicine
• is capable of explaining problems caused by microorganisms in connection with the production, use or storage of pharmaceuticals

Skills

The student is capable of

• using pharmaceutical reference works and practising the control system when producing pharmaceuticals
• making an independent assessment of whether medication that he/she has produced can be approved/not approved
• working independently and practising good laboratory procedures in accordance with the rules for Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP)

General competence

The student is capable of:

• assessing the options for individual adaption of pharmaceutical treatment

Work and teaching methods include lectures, seminars, field trips/excursions, question sessions and laboratory work. The laboratory assignments elucidate physical chemical principles and provide practical training in the production of pharmaceuticals. A practical mock exam will be held and at which the students are given individual feedback.

Exam content: The learning outcomes

Exam form: Combined exam

1. Supervised individual written exam, 4 hours, and
2. Individual practical exam, 3 hours

One grade is awarded based on the following weighting of the parts of the exam: Written exam 60%, practical exam 40%. Students must be awarded a pass grade A-E for both parts of the exam in order for a student to pass the course. If the student is awarded an F in one part of the exam, this part of the exam must be retaken.

Students can appeal the grade awarded for the written part of the exam.

The course gives an in-depth understanding of behaviour. The course provides a detailed account of the theoretical basis for using behaviour analysis in solving various challenges.

The student must have passed PSYK1420 and PSYK2200.

After completing the course, the student is expected to have achieved the following learning outcomes defined in terms of knowledge, skills and competence:

Knowledge;

The student can

• describe the relationship between applied, experimental, and conceptual behaviour analysis
• define the term summary label and explain how category mistakes can occur in the description and explanation of behaviour
• describe how complex phenomena such as memory, verbal behaviour, private behaviour, and cognition can be understood in a behaviour analytic framework

Skills;

The student can

• discuss arguments for and against a behaviour analytic approach to understanding human behaviour
• define and provide examples of behaviour analytic principles

General competence;

The student can

• discuss how the concepts of description, prediction, and control are part of the science of behaviour
• describe considerations that need to be taken into account when developing unit of analysis in a science of behaviour

The course includes lectures, inter-teaching, student-initiated group activities, individual study,;as well as compulsory seminars. In the seminars, students will present topics from the syllabus, engage in discussion, and receive feedback and guidance on further studies. Each seminar will be concluded by student presentations on all topics from the seminar with all students in attendance. The students’ learning outcomes will be documented through presentations, tests and the examination.

To prepare for the examination must the following obtain approved:

• Participation at the seminars (80%)
• Presentation of subject matter/texts
