WHAT'S GOING ON?
There are1000 universities, 4,7 mln students, 256k professors in Russia and everyone does research activity and works in laboratory. There are 35 medical universities and every university has a medical department. But how do you know what’s going on there, if there is no one database of laboratories, experiments and studies in Russia.
If you try to get info about it, it is likely that your inquiry will be denied. And it happens because of the fact that the results of tests and experiments often use in someone else’s research and dissertations.
Russian young scientists often reinvent the bicycle over and over again, walking a long way, exploring what is already known. We are sure many studies have been made before, but have not been published due to various reasons.

Pre proposal
This proposal aims to develop a logistic model incorporating maternal factors and inflammatory biomarkers during the first trimester of pregnancy to better predict preeclampsia and pregnancy outcomes. A prospective cohort study of 1,500 pregnant women in India will collect data on maternal risk factors and biomarker levels during the first trimester and follow the women through pregnancy to observe outcomes. The results will be analyzed using logistic regression to create a predictive model. This study hopes to improve early detection of preeclampsia through a multi-factorial approach combining traditional risk factors and novel biomarkers.

March-2019 - Contrasts between Homoeopathy in the U.K & India.docxAllen College of Homoeopathy Global
The document compares the practice of homeopathy in the UK and West Bengal, India. In the UK, homeopaths typically train part-time for a minimum of 3 years while in India they train full-time for a minimum of 5 years. Consultations in the UK typically last up to 1 hour while in India they are usually around 10 minutes. Homeopaths in India have more respect and backing from the government and title of "Doctor" compared to those in the UK who must earn respect individually. The author concludes that to be successful, homeopaths must commit to the core principles of homeopathy and select a single well-chosen remedy based on an thorough case-taking.Carrier and Oppurtunities in MLT Vamsi.pdf

"Discussion boards don’t work": Evaluation of a course blog for teaching with...
This document describes a course instructor's evaluation of replacing an exam with a shared resource collection assignment for a second year medical biochemistry module. The assignment required students to submit blog posts and comments reviewing resources related to module topics over four windows. While some high-quality resources were shared, most posts lacked critical analysis. Engagement with other posts was limited due to late submissions and a lack of feedback examples. While skills were built, the discussion format did not maximize learning as intended. Future iterations would provide explicit examples and require timely, anonymous contributions and comments to improve interactivity.

As Seen On TV: Promoting the use of broadcast media in HE
This document discusses promoting the use of broadcast media in higher education. It provides justification for using broadcast clips by arguing it can enhance teaching through illustration of theory, demonstrating practical application and contextualizing content. Broadcast media can also improve the learning process by enabling active learning and increasing student engagement and retention. Additionally, the medium itself can support critical thinking, student-driven curriculum development and moral development by exposing students to real-world issues. Examples are given of integrating broadcast clips and full programs into coursework. Challenges to adoption are also outlined along with recommendations for setting up online repositories like the proposed [Subject]OnTheBox project to expand access and sharing of educational broadcast materials.
