Passport to a profession in the degree of pharmacy: how to integrate university students into the real world of work: "Passport to a profession in Pharmacy"

The incorporation of the Spanish university system into the European Higher Education Areahas brought about a series of adaptations. Among the recommendations is the inclusion ofan external training period in a company, which has resulted in significant changes in thedegree syllabus in order to balance the theoretical and practical education required by thestudents. This new framework has been legally confirmed by the Spanish Government and, inthe case of the University of Barcelona, by the publication of internal guidelines. Takingadvantage of this new opportunity to adapt the Pharmacy degree to real-world problems inindustry, the Dean’s team of the Faculty of Pharmacy, with the support of the Facultyadministrative staff and the Students Advisory Service, have assumed the challenge ofincluding a new subject in the syllabus entitled Training in Companies.In parallel, a new activity has been set up to ensure that the students choose the mostsuitable company department/job for them and to help them pass the company interview.Under the name of Passport to a Profession, a series of ten explanatory talks has beenscheduled every academic year. These talks deal with a broad range of topics aimed atproviding the students with the basic tools they will need to make the most of a companytraining period and to make headway in the professional world when they finish theirdegree. In addition, three Faculty of Pharmacy-Pharmaceutical company workshops and tworound-table conferences have been held in the last two years in order to bring the universityand industry together. Notably, the project to provide students with company training isexpanding on an international level, with two to three undergraduate students contractedevery year by a United Kingdom-based multinational pharmaceutical company.The statistical data of the whole process has been analysed for a more in-depthunderstanding of the activity and to improve the programme.

Aproximació a la biografia i el pensament educatiu de Maria Teresa Codina: Educant entre la utopia i la realitat

Maria Teresa Codina i Mir és una mestra i pedagoga que ha tingut especial rellevància en la pedagogia del segle XX a Catalunya. Durant la seva trajectòria personal i professional ha estat compromesa en l’educació dels sectors socials més desfavorits i en la renovació pedagògica de Catalunya. Aquesta tasca tan important que ha dut a terme de manera silenciosa, no pot ser ignorada. Amb aquest treball pretenem analitzar-la i donar-la a conèixer. És per aquest motiu que hem fet una aproximació biogràfica de la vida i idees pedagògiques de Maria Teresa Codina a partir de la veu de persones que l’han coneguda i que han estat significatives en la seva vida. A través de successives entrevistes i l’anàlisi de documents personals i inèdits de Codina, volem aprofundir en la seva trajectòria personal i professional i conèixer les seves idees educatives des d’una visió més propera, viva i humana.

Supramolecular Gold Metallogelators: The Key Role of Metallophilic Interactions

Gold metallogelators is an emerging area of research. The number of results published in the literature is still scarce. The majority of these gels is observed in organic solvents, and the potential applications are still to be explored. In this work, we present an overview about gold metallogelators divided in two different groups depending on the type of solvent used in the gelation process (organogelators and hydrogelators). A careful analysis of the data shows that aurophilic interactions are a common motif directly involved in gelation involving Au(I) complexes. There are also some Au(III) derivatives able to produce gels but in this case the organic ligands determine the aggregation process. A last section is included about the potential applications that have been reported until now with this new and amazing class of supramolecular assemblies.
