Abstract:
Background: A Guyana-based, internal medicine (IM) post-graduate medical education program was established in 2013. However, lack of formal teaching sessions are barriers to the program’s success.Objective: To describe the partnership between the University of Calgary and the University of Guyana’s internal medicine residency programs (IMRP). This partnership was created to support the Guyana’s IM academic half-day and is characterized by mutually beneficial, resident-led videoconference teaching sessions.Methods: Calgary medical residents volunteered to create and present weekly teaching presentations to Guyanese residents via videoconference. Questionnaires were completed by Guyanese residents and provided to Calgary residents as feedback on their teaching and presentation skills. A similar survey was completed by Calgary residents.Lessons learned: Twenty-four videoconference teaching sessions were conducted over eight months with a total of 191 and 16 surveys completed by Guyana and Calgary residents, respectively. Over 92% of both Guyana and Calgary residents agreed that the sessions enhanced their learning and over 93% reported increased interest in becoming more involved in international collaborations. 88% of Calgary residents felt the sessions improved their teaching skills.Conclusion: The formation of a resident-led, videoconference teaching series is a mutually beneficial partnership for Canadian and Guyanese medical residents and fosters international collaboration in medical education.

Abstract:
This article provides an assessment of the pathways Librarians at the University of Guyana Library (UGL) explored to achieve continual learning for professional growth and self-development.The writers adopted a survey method to capture data from sixteen senior professionals from the University of Guyana Library. The findings revealed that while the University of Guyana Administration provided some avenues for professional growth and development for all professionals, there were some areas that required a more structured and equitable approach. The findings indicated that much more can be done to facilitate growth and development for senior Library professionals, particularly in the field of Librarianship. From the discussions, the researchers concluded that in spite of the limited access to available resources, Library senior professionals actively pursued alternative avenues to enhance and advance learning. This was intended to acquire current knowledge and practice so that they may provide a higher quality of service to their clientele; further, their experience (in the process) will assist in enhancing their professional development and personal growth.

Abstract:
The purpose of this research is to highlight the digital technology programmes and activities implemented by the Library professionals at the University of Guyana Library, to empower users with special needs. The use of digital technology in libraries is redefining the way information is disseminated and it has influenced the roles of all information professionals. As digital technology evolved, Librarians have been forced to revolutionise their way of operating and employ a variety of ways to adjust; not only to their changing roles but also to find ways to enhance high quality service delivery. These innovations not only brought changes to the delivery services but also served to propel inclusivity for previously marginalised groups, including persons with special learning needs, who are physically challenged, have cognitive challenges, experiencing varying levels of competencies or other socio-economic difficulties. The final benefits being envisioned would be lifelong learning and success in all aspects of student's lives. Iin this era of digital transformation, University Libraries must therefore combine technology and human interaction in all of its services for access by all to accomplish this vision. Recognising that there was a practice to generalise the user population, even though their learning capabilities differed, Librarians at the University of Guyana Libraries (Turkeyen and Tain) sought to devise ways in which all users would benefit from all of the services offered using digital technology. Through this medium, students with special needs /differently-abled who were often marginalised due to different learning capabilities are now able to have an equal opportunity to access research content with ease. Librarians at the University of Guyana Library have illustrated how the use of digital technology at its academic library has helped to promote scholarship and encourage high quality research by providing online services with remote access and links to external resources. This paper expands on the digital programmes that the University of Guyana Libraries provides for students with special needs and the measures taken to empower special needs users through digital technologies.

Abstract:
The globalization of higher business education supported by the growth of transnational educational institutions is now a feature of the developing countries of the Caribbean region. This article examines the situation of Guyana, where the recent discovery of hydrocarbon resources has created expectations of an economic transformation that will generate a demand for trained personnel to manage the transition: Master of Business Administration (MBA) graduates are expected to contribute significantly in this regard. In the higher education system in Guyana, MBA graduates are produced mainly by the regional university and an Australian transnational institution. This study gathered information on the guiding factors in the choice of MBA through a survey of current students and recent graduates of the two institutions. A comparative analysis of the competing programmes was also undertaken to provide greater insights into their capacities for generating the human resource output necessary for the contemplated transformation.

Abstract:
Drug use in our society seems to be a growing concern. Hence the concern of the ES/CICAD and CAMH to sponsor Multicentric Research projects for which this is one. This study therefore sought to determine gender differences for peer influence on drug use among students from one university in Guyana. A survey was applied to 263 university students selected by a purposive sampling. Mean, percentage, cross-tab, t- test and Spearman correlation were used for data analysis. Drug use by male and female participants was minimal. Gender was not significantly different in the level of peer influence. But it was significantly different in the use of illicit drug and in its association with the relationship between peer influence and drug use. The result of this study had curriculum implications. Based on the sampling technique, it was recommended that a similar study be carried out in a wider community outside of the university.

Abstract:
Comme la majorite des organisations, l'universite francaise est interessee par l'adhesion a son projet ou par le developpement de son image. L'universite qui s'est longtemps consacree a la production et a la transmission du savoir, est depuis quelques annees encouragee par l'etat a s'ouvrir sur son environnement regional. Ce passage de la tour d'ivoire a l'universite entrepreneuriale, represente un aspect notable de sa modernisation. Dans un contexte nouveau et global, l'enjeu de la modernisation de l'universite s'etend a l'ensemble de la societe. L'universite a change en meme temps que changeaient ses modalites de fonctionnement. La communication tient un role cle dans cette nouvelle situation ou, negociations internes et externes cherchent a etablir l'equilibre entre les missions traditionnelles et les nouvelles missions de l'universite. Aux antilles-guyane, l'organisation universitaire a toujours ete sollicitee pour le developpement economique et social de ses regions d'implantation. Ses nouvelles relations avec l'etat lui ont permis de developper son projet afin d'apparaitre comme un pole de formation et de recherche fonde sur l'originalite de sa position geographique au coeurde la zone caraibe-ameriques. L'uag est aussi la seule universite francaise dont les structures sont eclatees sur trois territoires distants de plusieurs kilometres. A travers sa communication, l'uag poursuit un meme objectif present chez toutes les equipes qui l'ont successivement dirigee : creer au sein de la communaute universitaire un fort sentiment d'appartenance a l'institution. En effet, toute action de communication devient cruciale en ce sens qu'elle constitue le moyen de presenter l'universite a l'interieur comme a l'exterieur comme une entite specifique et homogene.

"Measuring the biomedical efficacy of traditional remedies among the Makushi Amerindians of southwestern Guyana." Tulane University, 2000.

Abstract:
Presented herein is an ethnographic description of the Makushi Amerindians of Guyana and study of the biomedical efficacy of traditional remedies employed by the Makushi. One of the primary controversies in the field of ethnomedicine is whether a therapeutic intervention using a traditional remedy owes its success in controlling or alleviating symptoms of illness to its biomedical efficaciousness or, alternatively, to the placebo effect. Some researchers in ethnomedicine are inclined to believe that traditional remedies always work because indigenous pharmacopoeias are hoped to be the panacea for the world's incurable diseases. Other researchers, however, take the other extreme and tend to argue that herbal concoctions only serve psychosocial needs of the patient and act as placebos without addressing the biomedical needs of the individual This dissertation takes a pathway between these polarities. I first provide geographical, ethnohistorical, and contemporary ethnographic data on the Makush Amerindians. Then I discuss the sociocultural system of illness causation, classification of illness, sick-role, the decision-making process towards treatment and treatments administered to the patient, including the psychosocial support the patient receives during the duration of the illness bout, as seen from the Makushi vantage point. Following a 'universal methodology' proposed by several medical anthropologists, I present data on the preparation and administration of traditional remedies, voucher specimens of plants utilized in these remedies, the botanical identifications of these plants, and the relevant pharmacological literature and pharmacological databases (i.e., NAPRALERT, Internet Grateful Med) that contain evidence of known bioactive properties in these species which are congruent with their uses (or reported uses) as remedies among my Makushi subjects In the conclusion, I evaluate both the biomedical efficacy of a relatively small section of the Makushi pharmacopoeia which I examined as well as the usefulness of this proposed universal methodology and other suggested methodologies, such as prospective and retrospective case reporting, in conducting this study under the field conditions I encountered in the Rupununi savannas of Guyana

Abstract:
I have attended the launch of an education programme. It was blasted into orbit. I was in French Guyana for the launch of an Ariane rocket carrying a telecommunications satellite which would deliver broadband access to educational services for parts of Africa not reached by fibre or mobile phone masts. Many education programmes and teaching materials are available on-line but schools and colleges in parts of Ethiopia or Kenya or Rwanda do not have the broadband connections to access them. A small and affordable satellite dish at a local school or college opens up higher education to them. For centuries our picture of education has been very different. A wonderful image in a medieval illuminated manuscript shows a professor lecturing a class. It is a scene we recognize today: students at the front who are keen and attentive and others at the back who aren’t. The place is Bologna and the lecturer is Henry of Germany so the university is international. Some of the most profound features of university life are not very different from what those students experienced centuries ago, even whilst at the same time a student may be learning about the latest intellectual advances. This mix of ancient and modern is part of the particular appeal of the university—graduates dressed up in medieval robes and perhaps with some Latin thrown in are awarded doctorates for research out at the frontiers of knowledge. We are now at the moment when the technological revolution which has changed so much else in our lives is going to transform education. It won’t be the first time innovation has had this effect—the Victorian Penny Post made the correspondence course and the University of London external degree possible. There are sceptics who doubt the balance of ancient and modern is about to change radically. They argue that even whilst technology has changed the classic forms of academic study—the lecture, the printed book, the essay—are going to continue to be impervious to innovation because they meet deep human needs. Moreover there have been bold claims for the impact of technology on education which now sound pretty silly.

Abstract:
The potential of mobile technologies to influence teaching and learning has enthused educational technology researchers. This chapter compares lecturers and students at the University of Guyana on the factors of the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology model and attitude in relation to technology in education using principal components and regression analyses. It also focuses on access to devices and use of the device features. The results show that the mobile phone is the most popular mobile device among students and lecturers and that both groups have positive attitudes towards using mobile devices for teaching and learning. However, students are more disposed and better equipped to use mobile technologies in the near future and have stronger intentions towards integrating them into their learning. Whereas attitude is the most important determinant of adoption among students, the facilitating conditions is most critical to mobile learning adoption among lecturers.
