Abstract:
The economics of human nutrition has changed greatly in recent years as researchers have moved beyond supply and demand of specific foods and total calories to functional aspects of diet quality, such as nutrient composition, sustainability, and a variety of credence attributes. New kinds of data and methods allow researchers to focus on beneficial or harmful attributes of dietary patterns and the cost-effectiveness of interventions aimed at improving health through diet. This review describes some of the recent literature in nutrition economics and its implications for food policy around the world. The new economics of nutrition is benefiting from a strong foundation in the behavioral and social sciences, building on evidence from the natural and health sciences to address fundamental aspects of human well-being and sustainable development.

Abstract:
Nutritional genomics is a new and promising science area which can broadly be defined as the application of high throughput genomics (transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics/metabonomics) and functional genomic technologies to the study of nutritional sciences and food technology. First utilised in the food industry by plant biotechnologists to manipulate plant biosynthetic pathways, the use of genomic technologies has now spread within the agriculture sector, unleashing a host of new applications (e.g. approaches for producing novel, non-transgenic plant varietals; identification of genetic markers to guide plant and animal breeding programmes; exploration of diet–gene interactions for enhancing product quality and plant/animal health). Beyond agriculture, genomic technologies are also contributing to the improvement of food processing, food safety and quality assurance as well as the development of functional food products and the evolution of new health management concepts such as ‘personalised nutrition’, an emerging paradigm in which the diet of an individual is customised, based on their own genomic information, to optimise health and prevent disease. In this review the relevance of nutritional genomics to the food industry will be considered and examples given on how this science area is starting to be leveraged for economic benefits and to improve human nutrition and health.

Abstract:
BACKGROUND: The challenges in the Faculty of Health Sciences in universities are unique and complex. These dynamic faculties require decisive and strong leadership, smooth systems and business processes, succession plans and development opportunities. These challenges in these faculties are exacerbated by the fact that the roles and responsibilities of the Heads of Departments are multifaceted. Those who are heading them are not acclimatising to the responsibilities because of the lack of support to develop and succeed in their positions. This study therefor seeks to determine challenges faced by the HoDs in the Faculty of Health Sciences, and the succession plans, competences and development programmes that are in place to develop future leadership talent in a university in South Africa. METHODS: A single case study approach was employed whereby qualitative in-depth interviews were conducted with nine HoDs and a faculty dean as well as the observation and document analysis. The grounded theory as an inductive process was used to categorise and code data where themes and trends emerged from the data. RESULTS: Four major themes emerged from the data: The university, faculty and departments within the faculty did not have succession plans while the strategic positions were occupied by post-retirees. The Faculty did not have competent employees who could ascend to academic leadership positions in the faculty. There was limited growth in the Faculty due to the absence of the developmental programmes. There was a plethora of challenges including the shortage of office equipment, absence of the mentoring programmes, structural fragmentation and inefficiencies in the Human Resource Department (HRD). CONCLUSIONS: A pervasive crisis was observed in this particular Faculty of Health Sciences during the turbulent times in universities. It is crucial for the HoDs to receive quality support from the administrative departments such as HRD in order for them to achieve the departmental objectives. The HoDs’ leadership capabilities and effectiveness can be enhanced by mainstreaming the human resources business systems, development, mentoring and coaching, as well as the implementation of well-coordinated succession plans.

Abstract:
The history of education in modern medicine in Nepal is not very long. The article tracks development right from the inception of education in modern medicine to various advanced degrees offered in medicine and allied health sciences in Nepal. With the establishment of different provinces and the setting-up of various hospitals and teaching institutions within the country, one can be certain that the objective of training Nepali citizens within the country and providing healthcare to people within Nepal will soon be a reality. An attempt has been made to sum up what already exists in the present scenario within the country so that appropriate action can be taken in the coming years to ensure sufficient human resources for health will be available to meet the World Health Organization’s 2018 slogan of Universal Health Coverage in near future. It also tries to highlight the much needed issue of integrating the professionals from allied health sciences into the existing healthcare system for its further development. There are specialists from different allied professions in the country; their expertise should expand out of academic sector to other sectors as well. The lack of integration of such expertise in patient care seems to be hindering the new developments in the field of healthcare.

Abstract:
The authors made an attempt to show the differentiation and integration of preventive medical Sciences and ecological disciplines as a complex dialectical process characteristic for the development of the science of the late 20th - early 21st centuries, and to analyze the methodological links of preventive medical Sciences with numerous ecological disciplines developed in recent decades. The article deals with the processes of formation of new ecological disciplines studying the system “environment - human”, a comparative analysis of preventive medical and environmental Sciences on their goals, subjects and objects of study. The study of the environmental impact on human health was shown to be carried out by already formed medical Sciences, and primarily preventive orientation (General hygiene, Social hygiene, Communal hygiene, Food hygiene, Occupational health, Military hygiene, Radiation hygiene, etc.), having accumulated considerable experience in the areas of knowledge studied by them. Disciplines arising from the differentiation of the environment and studying the preservation of life and health, in essence, duplicate preventive medical Sciences, which inevitably leads to the repetition of the path and does not give the desired results in the increment and development of new scientific knowledge. At the same time, the process of interaction and unification of efforts of preventive medical Sciences and environmental disciplines can make a significant contribution to the successful solution of such important state tasks as the preservation of public health and environmental protection from the negative impact of anthropogenic factors. The application of a systematic interdisciplinary approach in the interaction of preventive medical Sciences and environmental disciplines involves the presence of scientific facts, a complex of deep knowledge in the areas under study, the development of a number of theories, as well as the analysis of environmental and medical problems.

Abstract:
Abstract Objectives Nutrition health disparities include the differences in incidence, prevalence, morbidity, and mortality of diet-related diseases and conditions that disproportionally affect disadvantaged groups (e.g., race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, disability, rural, immigration status). These disparities arise from the complex interaction of individual, interpersonal, community, and societal factors within the biological, behavioral, and environmental domains. The purpose of this study is to describe the scope of nutrition health disparities research supported by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) over the past decade to identify research gaps and opportunities relevant to NIH's mission. Methods Data were extracted from an internal reporting system from 2010 to 2019 using the Research, Condition, and Disease Categorization (RCDC) spending categories for “Nutrition” and “Health Disparities.” Results Over the past decade, the number of NIH supported nutrition and health disparities research studies have generally increased, with 860 grants funded in 2010 and 937 grants in 2019, while total nutrition and health disparities funding remained relatively stable. The top 5 Institutes/Centers that funded nutrition and health disparities research included the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, National Heart Lung and Blood Institute, Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, National Cancer Institute, and National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities. Conclusions Consistent with the mission of the top funding ICs, the top research areas were obesity, diabetes, digestive diseases, cancer, heart disease, clinical research, prevention, and behavioral and social sciences. Cross-cutting topics relevant to all NIH ICs included special populations areas such as pediatric and minority health followed by aging and women's health. Consistent with the Strategic Plan for NIH Nutrition Research, it is critical to advance health equity through the application of precision nutrition approaches that acknowledge the influence of biologic, behavioral, psychosocial, environmental, and social factors on nutrition health disparities, and to develop effective targeted interventions to address these disparities.

AbstractObjectiveThe increasing rate of outbreaks in humans of zoonotic diseases requires detailed examination of the education, research, and practice of animal health and its connection to human health. This study investigated the collaboration network of different fields engaged in conducting zoonotic research from a transdisciplinary perspective.MethodsExamination of the dynamics of this network for a 33-year period from 1980 to 2012 is presented through the development of a large scientometric database from Scopus. In our analyses we compared several properties of these networks, including density, clustering coefficient, giant component, and centrality measures over time. We also elicited patterns in different fields of study collaborating with various other fields for zoonotic research.ResultsWe discovered that the strongest collaborations across disciplines are formed among the fields of medicine; biochemistry, genetics, and molecular biology; immunology and microbiology; veterinary; agricultural and biological sciences; and social sciences. Furthermore, the affiliation network is growing overall in terms of collaborative research among different fields of study such that more than two-thirds of all possible collaboration links among disciplines have already been formed.ConclusionsOur findings indicate that zoonotic research scientists in different fields (human or animal health, social science, earth and environmental sciences, engineering) have been actively collaborating with each other over the past 11 years.

Abstract:
SummaryThe Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are increasingly being used to measure developmental progress among and within countries. Achieving the health-related SDGs remains a primary concern of many developing countries. This study measured the progress in selected health-related indicators of SDGs in the states of India by social and economic groups, and predicted their likely progress by 2030. The health indicators analysed included health outcomes, nutrition, health care utilization and determinants of health. Data from the Census of India, Sample Registration System (SRS), National Family and Health Surveys (NFHSs) and National Sample Survey Organization (NSSO) were used in the analysis. Annual rate of progress (ARP) and the required rate of progress (RRP) were computed for selected indicators over the period 2005–06 to 2015–16. A Composite Index of Health (CIH) was used to understand the state of health of populations. The ARP was higher than the RRP in maternal care and reduction of under-five mortality, while ARP was lower than the RRP in undernutrition and sanitation. The ARP for health-related indicators showed a mixed pattern across religion and caste groups. The ARP for medical assistance at birth and immunization was highest among Scheduled Castes and that for reduction of under-five mortality was highest among Scheduled Tribes. The CIH was lowest in Uttar Pradesh (0.26) and highest in Goa (0.81). The association between the CIH and the Human Development Index (HDI) was significant, suggesting interlinkage between health and development. Notable improvements were observed in maternal and child health and maternal health care utilization across social groups in India over the period 2005–06 to 2015–16, and if the trends continue the country can achieve the SDG target in maternal health by 2030. However, progress in nutrition and other health indicators has been slow and uneven.

Abstract:

The child care setting represents a crucial environment for infants and children to establish healthy feeding practices in order to prevent overweight and obesity. The objective of this research was to investigate the association between parental care (PC) and child care (CC) on infant feeding practices, food consumption, nutrient intake and growth in infants receiving Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women Infants and Children (WIC) assistance. Our hypothesis was that unhealthy feeding practices would be more common in CC compared to PC thus leading to greater weight for length (WFL) and weight for age (WFA) z-score at 1 year of age for infants in CC. This study sampled 105 infants aged 2 to 8 months of age from the Champaign Urbana WIC office from October 2009-August 2011. Mothers completed a 3-day food record and survey at the time of recruitment to assess their infant's feeding practices, nutrient intake, health status, and demographic characteristics. Baseline and follow-up weight and length for these children within the first year of age were collected from the WIC office.

The major differences in demographic characteristics of the study sample included child care hours per week, maternal employment, household income, and single parent home by CC use. Infants in CC had an average of 29 hours of care per week compared to the 0.64 hours in the PC group (p<0.01). A larger (p<0.01) percentage of mothers were employed in the CC group (73.9%) compared to the PC group (22%). However, the household income was greater (p<0.01) in the PC group ($15,986 ± $10,284 PC vs $9,967± $7,489.5 CC). In addition, there was a higher (p=0.04) percentage of single parents in the CC group (30.5 % PC vs. 50% CC).

Breastfeeding duration and age of solid food introduction did not differ between care type. Breastfeeding duration was on average 2.3 months while average solid food introduction was 4.4 months. No differences were observed between PC and CC infants in the rates of formula introduction. When comparing food consumption at the time of recruitment, there were no differences in the number of servings per day of food groups, but the CC group showed lower consumption of formula (p=0.03) and breast milk (p=0.18) compared to PC.

Energy intake did not differ between care type after adjusting for feeding practices and child, maternal and household characteristics. However, there was a pattern of greater energy intake in the PC group. Child age (β=34.8, p<0.01) and number of servings of infant formula (β=86.0, p<0.01) were the strongest predictors of energy intake. There was greater (p=0.05) calcium intake in the CC group (788 mg CC vs. 742 mg PC). Otherwise, there were no differences in macro or micronutrient intakes between CC and PC.

For growth measures, infants in PC had a significantly greater change in WFL (β=2.06, p=0.05) and WFA (β=1.69, p=0.01) z-score and a greater follow-up z-score, after adjusting for feeding practices and child, maternal and household characteristics. There were no differences by care type in the length for age (LFA) z-score over the first year of life.

The strongest predictors of the change in WFL z-score were PC use (β=2.06, p=0.05), maternal pre-pregnancy BMI (β=0.14, p<0.01), birth order (β=1.63, p<0.05), maternal age (β=-0.34, p<0.01), birth weight (β=-1.77, p=0.06), non-Black/African American (β=3.09, p=0.02) and male gender (β=-2.12, p=0.06). Change in WFA z-score was significantly affected by CC use (β=1.69, p=0.01), lower birth weight (β=-1.74, p<0.01), greater pre-pregnancy BMI (β=0.09, p<0.01), and less servings of infant formula (β=-0.53, p=0.05). Change in LFA was unaffected by CC use (β=1.69, p=0.11), but significantly affected by lower pre-pregnancy BMI (β=-0.04, p=0.04) and black race (β=-2.54, p=0.05).

Thus, we concluded that CC use did not affect feeding practices, overall nutrient intake or LFA z-scores for infants receiving WIC assistance. There was significantly greater calcium intake in the CC group. CC use also showed a trend of less formula and breast milk. Infants in PC had a statistically greater change in WFL and WFA compared to those in CC. The main finding in this study is that CC use may have influenced differences in the change in WFL and WFA z-scores, but not overall infant feeding practices, nutrient intake and LFA z-score. Future longitudinal studies are warranted to explore the role of CC use on feeding practices, nutrient intake and growth.

Abstract:
The effect of the menstrual cycle on energy intake and the dieting habits of adolescents was examined retrospectively for three years in 64 eighth and ninth grade girls. Dieting episodes were found to be evenly distributed across the five menstrual phases with no greater proportion of dieting occurring during the follicular phase. Media, peers, family members, and social pressures have a larger impact on adolescent dieting behaviors as opposed to the menstrual cycle. Comparisons of energy intake between the pre- and postovulatory phases revealed no significant differences in any year. Fifty to eighty percent of the girls' cycles may have been anovulatory the first two years of the study. Variations in energy intake are not observed in anovulatory cycles due to low ovarian hormone levels. Changes in food consumption that correspond to menstrual phases may be observed in girls who are six years or more beyond menarche, when cycles are predominantly ovulatory.

Full text
Abstract:
We studied the consequences of providing rat dams with elevated levels of dietary fat during lactation on stress responses in the offspring at different stages of development. High-fat feeding increased total milk lipid levels, and led to increased lipid deposition and plasma leptin levels in pups. Ten-day-old neonates from high-fat fed mothers had reduced stress responsiveness compared to controls. In contrast, 35-day-old pups from mothers fed high-fat diets showed greater stress-induced ACTH secretion. These findings indicate that maternal diet has effects on hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) responsiveness, which can persist after weaning to a normal rat chow diet. We also investigated macronutrient selection in the offspring, since differences in nutrient preferences may produce long-lasting consequences of lactational diet. However, our results did not support an involvement of maternal diet in postweaning nutrient selection. Furthermore, HPA stress responses were no longer related to maternal diet once offspring reached maturity.

Abstract:
The use of pesticides has served to enhance the economies and health of nations around the world by amplifying crop production and reducing crop loss. At the same time, studies have linked pre- and post-natal pesticide exposures to certain childhood cancers, neurological deficits, and adverse pregnancy outcomes. We explored the relationship between parental pesticide exposure during the pre-conception (3 months prior to conception) and post-conception (first trimester, entire pregnancy period) periods on specific child health outcomes. Our results suggest that pre-conception exposure to cyanazine and dicamba increase the risk of birth defects in male offspring. There is also evidence suggesting that hearing problems and allergies or hayfever are more common in male offspring who are exposed to pesticides during pregnancy. However, given the limited research in this area and the self-reported nature of the exposure and outcomes in this study, the present findings should be considered primarily as hypothesis generating.

Abstract:
Almost 600,000 infants acquire human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection from their mothers each year, with the majority of these infants living in developing countries. Knowledge regarding the impact of maternal and infant (HIV) infections upon birthweight is controversial. Little is known regarding the presence of HIV infection upon concurrent growth in developing countries. Data from a cohort of HIV-positive and HIV-negative women and their infants in Kisumu, Kenya was analyzed to assess maternal and infant HIV status with birthweight, growth and mortality of the infants. Three hundred and seventy-nine infants were assessed for health at four week intervals for the first year of life. The results of the analyses suggest that although differences in birthweight by (HIV) status alone are not present, HIV-infected infants subsequently gain less weight in the first year of life. Lower weight gain and positive HIV-status were independent predictors of mortality.

Abstract:
Not too long ago, microsporidia were looked upon as a small group of pathogens of interest in agriculture and to a few scientists devoted to basic biology. With the discovery that a number of these obligate intracellular protozoa are pathogenic to humans, a need for the elucidation of transmission routes of these human pathogens has arisen. Unfortunately, no methods are currently available for recovery, detection, or species determination of microsporidia that may be present in the environment This dissertation begins with an introduction into the basic biology of microsporidia, describes the development of complete methods for recovery, detection, and species determination of microsporidia in water, provides validation of these methods, and finally provides the first environmental screening of various water sources. Results show that traditional methods for recovery of microsporidia display very low recovery percentages (less than 5%), and do not allow for confirmative analyses. Methods are described that provide average spore recovery of 38% from finished waters and new PCR approach is also described which specifically amplifies HEM DNA extracted from environmental samples. This molecular method demonstrates the ability to detect less than 10 spores in concentrated water samples and the ability to accurately determine the species of the microsporidia, in these samples. Using these newly developed methods, human enteropathogenic microsporidia (HEM) were shown to be present in a wide variety of water samples including surface water, groundwater, effluents, and drinking water. Thus, this dissertation takes the first step in answering the hypothesis, that HEM are indeed waterborne pathogens.

Abstract:
The present study explores the discursive constructions of health, fitness and disability among eight 14-17 year old youth with variety of mobility impairments living in the Ottawa area. Located within a framework informed by feminist poststructuralist and disability theories, the study is based on a content analysis of guided conversations and individual journals in which participants were involved. Results indicate that participants discursively construct health and fitness in corporeal terms such as being active, eating right, and having a good body. Within their constructions, participants both resist and rearticulate dominant health, fitness and disability discourses. Results also highlight a variety of discursive strategies used by participants to both defy oppressive stereotypes related to gender and disability and to construct themselves as healthy and fit individuals. Insights gained from this study begin to fill an important gap in North American literature on the experiences of youth with disabilities. Such insights may be used to inform the development of programs aimed at improving the health, fitness and well-being of Canadian adolescents.

Abstract:
Objective. To identify predictors of catch-up growth during the first year of life among small for gestational age (SGA) infants in a developing country setting.
Design. Cohort study, with follow-up visits at 1, 3, 6 and 12 months.
Setting. Pelotas, a southern Brazilian city.
Population. SGA infants who were born in 1993 and whose families lived in the urban area of Pelotas.
Main outcomes. Weight and length gain from birth to 6 months and from 6 to 12 months.
Results. Two hundred twenty term SGA infants were targeted for follow-up, which was achieved for 205 (93.2%) infants at 12 months. At 6 months, the proportion of infants with weight-for-age and length-for-age z-scores <-1.28 SDS was 18.9% and 37.8%, respectively. At 12 months, the proportion of children with a weight-for-age z-score <-1.28 SDS increased to 35.2%, whereas for length-for-age this proportion remained about the same as it had been at 6 months. Severity of intrauterine growth retardation, body proportionality at birth, maternal remunerated work after delivery, maternal age, parity, maternal prepregnancy body mass index and maternal smoking during pregnancy had no significant effect on postnatal growth in the first year of life. Those infants who were weaned by 1 month had faster weight and length gain by 6 months. Socioeconomic status (SES) modified the effect of breast feeding duration on weight and length gain in the first 6 months of life. Among high-SES families, those children who were weaned by 1 month gained 578 g more than those still breast feeding at 6 months. Among low-SES families, however, those children who were weaned by 1 month gained 349 g less than those still breast feeding at 6 months. Those children who were weaned by 6 months had faster weight gain from 6 to 12 months, and this association was not modified by SES, while low SES was associated with slower weight and length gain in the same period. Children of short (<150 cm) mothers gained 1.31 cm less (95% confidence interval -2.52 to -0.1) by 6 months than those of mothers >160 cm. Children who were hospitalized showed a nonsignificantly slower length gain throughout the first year of life.
Conclusion. SGA infants experienced catch-up growth for weight and length but remained shorter and lighter than those in the NCHS reference population at both 6 and 12 months of age. Socioeconomic status and infant feeding were the main determinants of catch-up growth.

Abstract:
Abstract The lack of access to effective diagnosis and treatment for drug-resistant tuberculosis (DR-TB) remains a persistent ethical, human rights and public health challenge globally. In addressing this challenge, arguments based on a Human Rights-Based Approach (HRBA) to health have most often been focused on the Right to Health. However, a key challenge in multidrug-resistant (MDR-) and extensively drug-resistant (XDR-) TB is the glaring absence of scientific research; ranging from basic science and drug discovery through to implementation science once new tools have been developed. Although the Right to Enjoy the Benefits of Scientific Progress and its Applications (REBSP) is a little theorised human right, it has the potential to enrich our understanding and use of the Rights-Based Approach to health. In this chapter, we argue that States’ duties to respect, protect and fulfil the REBSP within and outside their borders is an important vehicle that can be drawn on to redress the lack of research into new drug development and appropriate use of existing drugs for DR-TB in high burden settings. We call for urgent attention to minimum core obligations for the REBSP and the need for a General Comment by a UN human rights monitoring body to provide for its interpretation. We also note that conceptualization of the REBSP has the potential to complement Right to Health claims intended to enhance access to treatment for DR-TB on a global scale.

Abstract:
AbstractThe increasing complexity and dynamicity of our society (and world of work) have meant that healthcare systems have and continue to change and consequently the state of healthcare systems continues to assume different characteristics. The causes of mortality are an excellent example of this rapid transformation: non-communicable diseases have become the leading cause of death, according to World Health Organization (WHO) data, but at the same time there are new problems emerging such as infectious diseases, like Ebola or some forms of influenza, which occur unexpectedly or without advanced warning. Many of these new diseases diffuse rapidly through the different parts of the globe due to the increasingly interconnected nature of the world. Another example of the healthcare transformation is the innovation associated with the introduction and development of advanced communication and technology systems (such as minimally invasive surgery and robotics, transplantation, automated antiblastic preparation) at all levels of care. Consequently, the social and technical dimensions of healthcare are becoming more and more complex and provide a significant challenge for all the stakeholders in the system to make sense of and ensure high quality healthcare. These stakeholders include but are not limited to patients and their families, caregivers, clinicians, managers, policymakers, regulators, and politicians. It is an inescapable truth that Humans are always going to be part of the healthcare systems, and it is these human, who by their very nature introduce variability and complexity to the system (we do not necessarily view this as a negative and this chapter will illustrate). A microlevel a central relationship in focus is that between the clinician and the patient, two human beings, making the health system a very peculiar organization compared to similarly high-risk organizations such as aviation or nuclear energy. This double human being system [1] requires significant effort (good design) in managing unpredictability through the development of personal and organization skills, such as the ability to react positively and rapidly to unexpected events and to adopt a resilient strategy for survival and advancement. In contrast to other similar industries, in terms of level of risk and system safety, healthcare settings are still plagued by numerous errors and negative events involving humans (and other elements) at various levels within the system. The emotional involvement is very high due to the exposure to social relationships daily and results in significant challenges to address both technical and non-technical issues simultaneously.

Abstract:
Abstract This book chapter focuses on a programme on improving human health through livestock research in three areas: (i) animal-source foods for nutrition; (ii) zoonoses (diseases transmitted between animals and people); and (iii) FBD. This was the first CGIAR group with an explicit food safety mandate (rather than focusing on specific hazards) and with expertise in using research methods for food safety rather than diseases in general. ILRI was also one of the first groups to focus on food safety in the 'informal markets' of developing countries, and by the 2010s, had become the lead research institute globally in this emerging area. ILRI research on FBD has resulted in many science outputs, including some genuinely innovative tools and approaches, and has already demonstrated outcomes at community, national and regional levels. These include substantial inputs into global, regional and national strategies and national training programmes. The major development-oriented approach - the triple-path for training, motivating and enabling of informal market agents - has been shown to be both scalable and sustainable. While questions remain about its lasting effects on food safety and its application outside those few countries where its success has been demonstrated, the next few years should bring further evidence about this, with benefits lasting for many decades to come.

Abstract:
Abstract Science can help us understand what animals want and economics can provide the understanding of human motivation needed to deliver such wants. In our view, what needs further development in future is for economics and information/communication science and technology to channel awareness into appropriate action. This chapter elaborates on this idea by providing some illustrative examples. Focusing on animal health and welfare, it argues that there is much scope for improvement in profit and welfare on commercial farms simply by adopting the best disease management approach available. We also emphasize the importance of systems modelling and operations research (OR) in the future to ensure that animal welfare taps into the growing opportunities that developments in these methods are likely to bring. The chapter also argues that OR can provide a bridge between animal welfare science, economics and business to deliver improvements in animal welfare through food markets. The importance of big data and precision livestock farming in livestock production/reproduction, animal health and welfare, and the environmental impact of livestock production are also discussed. New genetic approaches to optimize livestock resilience and efficiency are highlighted. We argue that tackling difficult problems, such as sustainability (that encompasses animal welfare alongside environment and climate change), efficiency and resilience in farm animal production systems, is and will remain a vital focus of research in the agri-food sector. Research methods and governance still need to change to properly reflect this. It is envisaged that animal welfare will be affected by these developments and should, wherever appropriate, be explicitly considered.

Abstract:
Modern life sciences represent the sphere of natural and exact sciences, which include scientific research of living organisms such as microorganisms, plants, animals and human beings. For example modern biology spreads quickly in such spheres as robotics, computer systems, psychology, linguistics and different social subjects, giving rise to new promising directions and interdisciplinary spheres. At the same time a number of researchers mark that technical-technological possibilities of changing fundamental basics of existence of humans and nature are being created. The article based on the analysis of tendencies of development of the technology and recent discussions about dual- use research and technology of concern, justifies the increasing role of bioethics. Of particular concern is received wide spread production and use of genetically modified organisms (GMOs), carrying a serious risk for human and animal health, biological diversity on the planet. This requires special mechanisms and prevention, such as humanitarian expertise and bioethics. This is due to the fact that the high rate and intensity of development of science and technology have created conditions of uncertainty, lead to increased risks to life and human welfare, the sustainable development of society and nature. It has been suggested that regulation of these risks at the global level, which in turn emphasizes the growing global nature of bioethics.

Abstract:
Teaching methodologies used in biochemistry classes at the University level are traditionally dependent on theorical classes. The assessment is usually based on written tests performed at the end of the semester. However, most students who learn metabolism by this traditional method consider the study of metabolic biochemistry a terrifying and unforgettable experience. Understanding biochemical metabolic pathways was the proposed goal of the Medical Biochemistry curricular unit. To this end, the multi-method active learning approach was used in order to increase students’ motivation towards the learning process and to allow the development of skills associated with group conflict resolution, critical thinking and communication skills. Overall, students and learning facilitators were highly motivated by the diversity of learning activities, particularly due to the emphasis on correlating theoretical knowledge with human health and disease. As a quality control exercise, the students were asked to answer a questionnaire on their evaluation of the teaching/learning experience. Thus, the initial analysis of the student’s perception questionnaires permits to conclude that the approach undertaken yields results that surpass the traditional teaching methods. Investing in preparing attractive and motivating classes increases students and teacher’s general satisfaction and the learning/teaching process becomes more efficient.
