MAFAR4200 Patient-Centered Treatment and Health Literacy Course description

This course will give the students the competence to contribute to patient-centred pharmacological treatment focusing on vulnerable patient groups such as children and young people, pregnant women, older people and the chronically ill. The course covers issues such as pharmacological variatibility (pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics), aspects of patient safety and individualised treatment with therapeutic drug monitoring. The course also addresses the use of pharmacogenetic analyses, complex pharmacotherapy, compatibility and administration of pharmaceuticals given intravenously and the use of radioactive preparations. The course will give the student an understanding of health literacy. The relationship between health economic principles and rational use of pharmaceuticals will be an important topic, in addition to management and various leadership roles in pharmaceutical enterprises.

Emnet vektlegger forståelse av geometri gjennom teori og praktiske øvinger. Det legges også vekt på refleksjoner rundt utarbeiding av tilpassede og differensierte oppgaver, samt fokus på yrkesretting og relevans i arbeidet med temaene i emnet.

This course will allow students to apply fundamental and advanced hydraulic and process engineering principles in real-life style projects. Students will analyse the influence of design and operating conditions on complex smart water infrastructure and process functionalities. The focus will be on students developing an integral systems approach to design selected water systems.

The course content includes: Environmental legislation and influencing factors; Control of water discharges and gas emissions; Environmental risks assessments; Technical and economic appraisals of a process in which safety and environmental impacts form integral parts of screening alternative solutions; Literature review of alternative solutions; Safety and operability of water system; Unit specification and flow sheets; Engineering drawings; Executive summary; Detailed unit design.

The students will work on a project of their own choice related to a design project.

The students will make use of suitable software for the individual projects.

On successful completion of this course the student is expected to have achieved the following learning outcomes defined in terms of knowledge, skills and general competence:

Knowledge:

The student will have

• advanced comprehension of sustainability and environmental risk in relation to water system design;
• advanced comprehension of project management in team and individual based settings;
• advanced knowledge of applying combined hydraulic and process engineering methods.

Skills:

The student

• has creative and critical skills, and is able to select amongst alternatives and make decisions in areas impacted with uncertainty;
• can communicate effectively results of their work in the form of written reports and oral presentations with strict page and time limits, respectively;
• has hands-on experience in creating model implementations of complex bioprocesses;
• can implement and apply computational tools for scenario analysis to evaluate cost-benefits and to infer effective design and operational solutions;
• can apply software for integrated control of environmental pollution;
• can analyse water systems in terms of capital investment and operating costs.

General competence: 

The student

• has deep insight into preliminary and rigorous process and unit design;
• Is able to draw engineering drawings, process flowsheets, control and P&I diagrams of the water system;
• Is able to solve complex water system problems by combining statistics, process and hydrology modelling tools.

The teaching will consist of a combination of:

• Scoping lectures & trainings.
• Coursework assignments.
• Trainings on project reporting and execution held by consulting engineers invited from industry; scoping lecture on current needs held by practitioners invited from municipalities/operators/regulator.
• Training on practical use of tools and software for data management, computer simulation and statistical assessment.

Live in-person and online lectures will be recorded, and the material will be made available to students on CANVAS.

Individuell skriftlig hjemmeeksamen, omfang 5 timer

Ny og utsatt eksamen

Ny og utsatt eksamen gjennomføres på samme måte som ved ordinær eksamen, det gis ny oppgavetekst.

Studentens rettigheter og plikter ved ny/utsatt eksamen framgår av forskrift om studier og eksamen ved OsloMet - storbyuniversitetet. Studenter er selv ansvarlige for å melde seg opp til eventuell ny/utsatt eksamen på Studentweb.
