MASY4000 Natural Science related to Nursing Course description

This course gives an introduction to how organs and organ systems function in relation to each other and how pathophysiological processes and medical conditions start, develop and are treated. The course also includes knowledge about microbiology, infectious diseases, risk of infection and infection control related to infection prevention work. Furthermore, knowledge about pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic principles, interactions and side effects of pharmaceuticals are introduced. Pain physiology, assessment and management are also topics covered in this course. This knowledge forms a necessary basis for the student to be able to observe, evaluate and identify symptoms in current patient groups.

The course is taught in English, but Norwegian if no English-speaking students follow the course.

Admission to the programme.

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

Knowledge

The student

• can discuss how organs and organ systems function and how pathophysiological processes and medical conditions start, develop and are observed and treated
• can discuss microbiology, infectious diseases, risk of infection and infection control related to infection prevention work
• can critically assess antibiotic use and the development of resistance
• can discuss pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic principles
• can assess the effects and side effects of pharmaceuticals used in the treatment of acutely and critically ill patients
• can discuss surgical stress response and postoperative complications
• can discuss laws and regulations that regulate the use of medical equipment in order to use the equipment in a safe and safe manner and prevent patient injury
• can discuss fluid and transfusion therapy

Skills

The student

• can analyse and take a critical approach to existing theories on pathophysiological processes and medical conditions

Emneplanen bygger på Forskrift om rammeplan for barnehagelærerutdanning (180 studiepoeng), fastsatt av Kunnskapsdepartementet 4. juni 2012.

Som profesjonsutøver vil barnehagelæreren utøve både administrativ og faglig ledelse av barn og personale. Kunnskap og kompetanse om ledelse er nødvendig for å ivareta barnehagens samfunnsmandat.

Naturen og barnehagens nærmiljø er en arena for lek, opplevelse, mestring og læring som gir barnehagen store muligheter for faglig og pedagogisk arbeid. Fagdidaktisk arbeid med barn bidrar i barnas danningsprosesser og fremmer barnas læring og motoriske, sosiale og språklige utvikling. Dette krever kompetente barnehagelærere som har kunnskap og ferdigheter i å lede et slikt arbeid. Gjennom varierte arbeidsformer skal studentene utvikle sine ferdigheter, bygge kunnskap og få nødvendig kompetanse til å lede barne- og personalgruppen i arbeid med barn innenfor kunnskapsområdet natur, helse og bevegelse.

Ingen forkunnskapskrav.

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:

• understands the basic concepts of fluid mechanics (such as boundary layer, continuum hypothesis, viscosity, conservational laws) and recognizes practical fluid dynamics problems.
• knows the difference between system approach and control volume approach and is able to explain the difference between Eulerian and Lagrangian description of fluid flow.
• knows how to use the fundamental governing equations of fluid dynamics - (continuity, momentum and energy equations) and is aware of its area of application.
• is capable of using dimension analysis to design prototypes of a reduced scale.
• understands the basic theoretical background of CFD and is able to perform simple CFD analysis.
• understanding of the various physical phenomena associated with the internal flow and external flow over common geometries.

Skills

The student is capable of:

• making simple calculations of velocity, pressure, temperature and shear stress for incompressible flows.
• formulating reasonable mathematical models to solve technical problems.
• calculating lift and drag forces acting on rigid bodies moving relative to a fluid.
• analyzing flow in pipes and pipeline networks and calculating energy and pressure loss.
• performing basic CFD analysis and comprehend the results of CFD.

General competence

The student must:

• be capable of using mathematical modelling and solutions to problems in fluid mechanics.
• be able to use CFD tool to solve relevant problems related to fluid flow

Studiet vil veksle mellom forelesninger, gruppe- og samarbeidsbaserte undervisningsformer og legger vekt på både teoretisk og praktisk arbeid. Studiet er aktivitetsbasert og opplevelsesorientert. Undervisningen vil derfor både skje i klasserom, på ekskursjoner og på overnattingsturer. Som en del av studieopplegget inngår tilbud om en kanotur varighet av 3 dager. Studentene må selv dekke utgiftene til kanoleie på ca. 400kroner. Studentene må selv dekke utgifter til mat. Studenter som ikke har anledning til å reise på studietur, vil få alternativt opplegg.

5 of 7 compulsory assignments must be approved.

The coursework must be approved before the student can take the exam.

The tasks are delivered in Canvas.

Exam autumn 2021 due to Covid-19:

Individual digital home exam, 3 hours.

The exam result can be appealed.

[Exam earlier:]

1. Portfolio (counts 50%). The portfolio consists of:

• 2 individual reports (word limit 1000-2000) based on CFD analysis of the engineering components.

2. 3 hour written exam (50%).

The exam results can be appealed.

In the event of a resit or rescheduled exam, an oral examination may be used instead. In case an oral exam is used, the examination result cannot be appealed

Aid autumn 2021:

All aids allowed, except communication with others.

[Aid earlier:]

A handheld calculator that cannot be used for wireless communication or to perform symbolic calculations. If the calculator’s internal memory can store data, the memory must be deleted before the exam. Random checks may be carried out.
