In response to current needs, Roche is offering its employees an intensive course in biotechnology under the auspices of biotechnet Switzerland. Lecturers from ZHAW Wädenswil [university of applied science] give participants the benefit of their expertise in theory and laboratory practice. One valuable spin-off from this is that this extra-mural course will allow participants to create a perman...

Science and technology, including nanoscale science and technology, influences and is influenced by various discourses and areas of action. Ableism is one concept and ability expectation is one dynamic that impacts the direction, vision, and application of nanoscale science and technology and vice versa. At the same time, policy documents that involve or relate to disabled people exhibit abilit...

This paper highlights several courseware design and development implications of a Web-based instruction in Basic Microbiology, BMicOnline, which replaces traditional classroom lecture. The course provides an introductory level to Microbiology as a subject for Year One of the Diploma in Applied Science & Nutrition, the Diploma in Consumer Science & Tecnology and the Diploma in Biotechnology, whi...

INTRODUCTION When I was considering the compatibili ty of veterinary physiology and community development as a topic for an inaugural address, a skeptical colleague remarked that to marry a basic with an applied science was impossible. However, I was not convinced, because I believe that it is possible. In this address I will attempt to convince you, the audience, that the two are compatible an...

This paper critiques learning-support policy for mathematics in Irish primary schools. The key policy question addressed is how equitable the development of the learning-support service has been in addressing low achievement in mathematics in designated schools compared to non-designated schools. The core argument developed is that there is a link between the Department of Education and Science...
