Oxford Discover 2 Unit 3

[Ara Kistner]

LibrarySearch is an excellent place to start looking for resources. It helps you to discover the wider range of books, articles and other resources available at the Library in physical and online formats.

As a student or member of staff, you can access the extensive collection of digital books and articles from anywhere in the world through the library search. Most of the articles you need are available in digital form and can be read online.

Books are available in digital or print form, with some available in both - Library Search will show you when print books are also available in digital form. Most of the print books for your subject are located in the Arts and Social Sciences Library. You may also find useful resources in the Education, Wills Memorial or Medical Libraries.

If your course has an online Resource List, you will find a link in the Blackboard area for the unit. Look for the logo below to identify your list and unit resources - please consult this carefully as it contains details of core and recommended readings.

Before coming to Oxford, I graduated from the University of Edinburgh with a BSc in Biological Sciences (Honours in Molecular Genetics). Although I am associated with the Department of Physiology, Anatomy and Genetics (DPAG), my DPhil is based at the MRC Harwell Institute. This allows me to carry out specialised research at the Mammalian Genetics Unit (MGU), whilst utilising the broad spectrum of professional and social opportunities that DPAG has to offer. We are given the chance to present our research and data to a variety of audiences, allowing us to gain valued feedback and suggestions for experimental direction.

Using a combination of cellular and mouse models, my project aims to characterise the function of members of the TLDc protein family, a group of proteins suggested to play a role in the neuronal cell response to oxidative stress, with a focus on Oxidation resistance 1 (Oxr1). Mutations in these proteins cause a complex range of neurological disorders (NDs) characterised by seizures, neurodegeneration and ataxia. By understanding the function of these proteins, we hope to discover novel therapeutic targets that will have implications for a range of serious NDs, such as epilepsy and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).

We are working towards understanding the underlying neuropathological mechanisms of disease onset, applicable to numerous NDs with overlapping pathology. If we are able to highlight key molecular pathways, this will have a huge impact in the field of molecular neurobiology!

I am extremely passionate about welfare and wellbeing within university establishments, particularly focusing on mental health and reducing stigma in the student community. I am really proud to be a departmental/divisional peer supporter, alongside the additional mental health support I provide within my college as a Junior Dean. I believe that strong advocacy and accessible support networks are incredibly important, especially in a high pressure university environment.

In terms of advances in science, I would love to see precision medicine become more readily available and affordable, eventually to become a routine treatment plan in the health care system. From this, we would see more targeted and effective therapies, as well as the start of a ground-breaking shift towards a focus on prevention (of disease), rather than reaction, in medicine.

More generally within the field, we need to continue to close the gender-gap in academia and investigate potential access barriers. It is great to see Athena SWAN initiatives currently in place within our department to increase representation and work towards this change, but there is still a long road ahead.

This diploma is designed to explore Flower Remedies. You will explore what benefits and usefulness flowers are in relation to remedies made from them. You will learn to develop new skills and improve on existing ones. On the course you will study a variety of different areas from the role remedies play in everyday life and how helpful people find them.

This course consists of Ten Units and is a qualification awarded by Oxford Learning College, in its own right; with the quality assurance of a leading awarding body (CIE Global) that hallmarks this professional qualification.

Students must select and demonstrate clearly relevant knowledge and understanding through the use of evidence, examples and correct language and terminology appropriate to the course of study. This assessment, involves two written assignments: one halfway through the course and following the final unit. Both are assessed and graded by the assigned tutor, according to college rocedures.

Students must critically evaluate and justify a point of view through the use of evidence and reasoned argument. Students can include evidence in different formats to support their written work such as documentation or images to support their course remembering Confidentiality and Data Protection.

Advice on enrolment and guidance of prior learning (APL) can be obtained through out contact centre. The course is a rolling programme and can be started at any point in the year. Successful students can go on to Higher Education, including remaining as students at OLC to complete courses in our portfolio of higher awards.

Approximately: 200 hours of personal study time for the entire course is recommended. All of which is supported by the OLC Course Tutor, who we greatly encourage students to access support from throughout their course.

In this unit you will learn the background of flowers in relation to remedies useful to the human body. You will research a variety of different flowers and gain knowledge of how they are used to create lotions and oils which help the body in may different ways. At the end of this unit you will have discovered the benefits of medicines including alternative medicines and how are they used.

Within this unit you will explore who Dr Bach is, his background and his relationship to such remedies. You will discover his experiment, observations and deductions as well as scientific experiments and findings and how the relate to such remedies included within this unit.

Here you will discover nineteen remedies and type remedies. You will learn and review the five flower remedies such as rock rose, clematis, cherry plum to name a few. You will learn how these flowers are used to make such remedies and how they are used in relation to stress, depression and also other personal problems.

In this unit you will learn the ingredients used to make remedies such as Agrimony and Aspen to name a few of the 38. You will learn how they cover pain, fear, how the essence helps to make a person feel and appear to others. You will gain an understanding of why they appear interesting to use and their uses. At the end of the unit you will be able to recall some of the essences and explain a situation for each.

How you review and see remedies will be more specific within this unit as you will discover the moods and remedies and how they are related. You will learn how different flowers and plants are used and contain a different sensation such as Cherry Plum is a fear of metal and Holly is regarding the hatred. A very interesting unit to the course.
