Abstract:
Thesis advisor: Philip G. Altbach<br>Thesis advisor: Karen D. Arnold<br>Over 200 international branch campuses (IBCs) currently exist globally and the number continues to rise (Lawton &amp; Katsomitros, 2012). This study examines the strategy, structure, and motivation behind a single American IBC--Texas A&amp;M University at Qatar (TAMUQ). Drawing from organizational theory and international higher education literature, this research reveals important considerations for institutions developing or currently operating IBCs. Findings stemmed from 27 in-depth qualitative interviews with faculty and administrators from the branch campus in Qatar, the main campus in Texas, and the host country sponsor. Multiple factors contributed to Texas A&amp;M being poised and ready to accept the opportunity to open an international branch campus: an invitation from a host country sponsor willing to cover all expenses, existing international ambitions, and strong support from the central administration. The inception period leading up to the opening of the branch campus proved crucial for success. University administrators wisely developed buy-in among campus constituencies, negotiated important contract stipulations with the host country, ensured that the institution's existing structure could reasonably support such an endeavor, and assessed whether Qatar was a good fit. The early years of TAMUQ resembled a startup organization. The pioneering team of faculty and staff brought an entrepreneurial spirit necessary to build the institution, but they operated largely independent from the home campus in Texas. A later push for greater ties with the main campus was difficult but important for progress. Since TAMUQ is a derivative of the main campus, administrators had to consider the degree to which they would replicate and adapt various institutional elements. Academically, the curriculum is only modified slightly, but course content and pedagogy are adapted more heavily in response to the unique needs of the student population. Hiring faculty with experience teaching on the main campus is considered an important way to maintain quality, yet administrators consistently struggle to recruit faculty. Unlike other IBCs, TAMUQ has developed a robust research program through the financial support of the host country sponsor<br>Thesis (PhD) — Boston College, 2014<br>Submitted to: Boston College.

Abstract:
This research investigated the association between academic lineage and student performance in medical school. The purposes of the study were to: (1) determine whether the Carnegie classifications of medical school applicants' institutions of origin are associated with academic performance in medical school; (2) consider the relationship between the admission selectivity of the schools of origin and the academic performance of medical school students; (3) compare the performance of medical students from institutions under public governing control with students from privately controlled institutions; and (4) establish a model by which the relative academic strengths of applicants from a variety of undergraduate institutions can be understood more clearly based on the previous performance of medical students from schools with similar institutional characteristics. A review of the literature on medical school admissions was completed and used to develop this research. Medical students from the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas who enrolled between the years 1990 and 1994 and graduated or were dismissed between the years 1994 and 1998 were selected as the sample for the study (n=933). The undergraduate institution of origin for each student was coded based on its Carnegie classification, admissions selectivity group, and whether its governing control was public or private. Because the sample was not randomly selected and the data likely would not meet the assumptions of equal means and variance with the population, nonparametric analyses of variance and multiple comparison tests were completed to compare the groups of the independent variables over each dependent variable. The analyses revealed that for the sample of medical students selected for this study there was an association between academic lineage and student performance in medical school. Differences were found among Carnegie classifications on the dependent variables of cumulative medical school grade point average, class rank, failure rate, and score on Step 1 of the United States Medical Licensure Examination. Further, it was found that admission selectivity was also associated with student performance in medical school for each dependent variable except failure rate. Finally, the study results indicated no association between public or private governing control and student performance in medical school.

Abstract:
Admissions processes for health professions programs result in students entering these programs academically homogeneous. Yet some students have great difficulty with the programs. Research has shown a limited ability of traditional academic indicators to predict successful outcomes for health professions education. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between learning motivation and academic outcomes for students in health professions programs. The Modified Archer Health Professions Motivation Scale (MAHPMS) and a demographic survey were administered at orientation to 131 medical and 29 physician assistant students at the University of North Texas Health Science Center in the fall of 2005. At the end of the semester, the same version of the MAHPMS was administered, and final course grades and semester averages were collected. Descriptive statistics were analyzed for all the study variables. Analysis of variance was utilized to examine within subjects and between subjects differences for the learning motivation scores among programs and demographic categories. Linear regression analyses were used to determine the relationship between learning motivation scores and end-of-semester grades. And finally, logistic regression was performed to explore the ability of the motivation scores to predict academically high-risk students. Approximately three-fourths of the students indicated a preference for mastery learning and an internal locus of control. For the PA students, alienation to learning and performance goal scores statistically related to semester grades, and alienation to learning scores predicted high-risk academic performance almost 90% of the time. For the medical students, mastery goal scores statistically related to semester grades, but no motivation score predicted high-risk performance. External locus of control scores predicted high-risk performance 81% of the time for the total group of students at the end of the semester. Students in this study exhibited learning motivation preferences similar to those of other health professions students reported in the literature. The findings of this study agreed with the literature on achievement motivation theory and raised questions regarding the effect of health professions curricula on student learning goals. Similar studies, measuring larger samples longitudinally need to be conducted in order to further validate or elucidate the results of this study.

Abstract:
The exponential growth in medical pharmaceuticals and related clinical trials have created a need to better understand the decision-making factors in the processes for developing hospital medication formularies. The purpose of the study was to identify, rank, and compare major factors impacting hospital formulary decision-making among three prescriber groups serving on a hospital's pharmacy and therapeutics (P&T) committee. Prescribers were selected from the University of Texas, MD Anderson Cancer Center which is a large, multi-facility, academic oncology hospital. Specifically, the prescriber groups studied were comprised of physicians, midlevel providers, and pharmacists. A self-administered online survey was disseminated to participants. Seven major hospital formulary decision-making factors were identified in the scientific literature. Study participants were asked to respond to questions about each of the hospital formulary decision-making factors and to rank the various formulary decision-making factors from the factor deemed most important to the factor deemed least important. There are five major conclusions drawn from the study including three similarities and two significant differences among the prescriber groups and factors. Similarities include: (1) the factor "pharmacy staff's evaluation of medical evidence including formulary recommendations" was ranked highest for all three prescriber groups; (2) "evaluation of medications by expert physicians" was ranked second for physicians and midlevel providers while pharmacists ranked it third; and (3) the factor, "financial impact of the treatment to the patient" was fifth in terms of hospital formulary decision-making statement and ranking by all three prescriber groups. Two significant differences include: (1) for the hospital-formulary decision making statement, "I consider the number of patients affected by adding, removing, or modifying a drug on the formulary when making hospital medication formulary decisions," midlevel providers considered this factor of significantly greater importance than did physicians; and (2) for the ranked hospital formulary decision-making factor, "financial impact of treatment to the institution," pharmacists ranked this factor significantly higher than did physicians. This study contributes to a greater understanding of the three prescriber groups serving on a P&T committee. Also, the study contributes to the body of literature regarding decision-making processes in medicine and specifically factors impacting hospital formulary decision-making. Furthermore, this study has the potential to impact the operational guidelines for the P&T committee at the University of Texas, MD Anderson Cancer Center as well as other hospitals.

James L. Leighton at Columbia University reported (Nature 2012, 487, 86) that the commercially available allylsilane 2 allylated acetoacetone (1) to furnish the enantioenriched tertiary carbinol 3. Alexander T. Radosevich demonstrated (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2012, 51, 10605) that diazaphospholidine 5 induced the formal reductive insertion of 3,5-dinitrobenzoic acid to α-ketoester 4 to generate adduct 6 enantioselectively. Tehshik P. Yoon at the University of Wisconsin at Madison found (J. Am Chem. Soc. 2012, 134, 12370) that aminoalcohol derivative 9 could be prepared via an asymmetric iron-catalyzed oxyamination of diene 7 using oxaziridine 8. A procedure for the desymmetrization of 1,3-difluoropropanol 10 by nucleophilic displacement of an unactivated aliphatic fluoride to generate 11 was reported (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2012, 51, 12275) by Günter Haufe at the University of Münster and Norio Shibata at the Nagoya Institute of Technology. An innovative procedure for the amination of unactivated olefins involving an ene reaction/[ 2,3]-rearrangement sequence (e.g., 12 to 13) was developed (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2012, 134, 18495) by Uttam K. Tambar at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center. James P. Morken at Boston College demonstrated the stereospecific amination of borane 14 with methoxylamine to produce 15. The conversion of β-ketoester 16 to 18 by amination with 17 under oxidative conditions was reported (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2012, 134, 18948) by Javier Read de Alaniz at the University of California at Santa Barbara. The electrophilic amination of silyl ketene acetal 19 with a functionalized hydroxylamine reagent to produce 20 was disclosed (Angew. Chem. Int.

This chapter examines the FBI’s engagement of the Branch Davidians and the eventual bombing of the group at their Waco compound. The author explains how the cult essentialist perspective, which places all blame on “cultists” for violent outcomes in conflicts, was promoted by FBI agents during and after the siege and prepared the majority of Americans to view the assault as reasonable. In this essay, Catherine Wessinger, a leading scholar of new religious movements and active in engaging with the FBI in the early years after the Branch Davidian siege, questions this understanding in light of evidence including internal FBI memos reporting on agents’ interviews with people who knew the Branch Davidians and FBI summary documents and evaluations in the Lee Hancock Collection at Texas State University, San Marcos.

This chapter discusses using a broad humanities perspective to teach medical students about climate change. It argues that the humanities can recover a more robust approach to bioethics and serve as a bridge between students’ professional training and their own spiritual and moral convictions. The chapter describes a short elective course taught to first- and second-year students at the McGovern Medical School at the University of Texas Health Science Center in Houston. It concludes with a class exercise in which students read the Physician Charter and write a short paper that takes one commitment from the charter and applies it to climate change.

Abstract:
For the traditional physician of the eighteenth century, medicine was above all a humane study, mastered largely through books and the careful examination of medicine’s past and leavened now by a growing concern to know something firsthand of the feel of the human body in sickness and in health. To be a French or German or British physician in these years was to be a member of a cultural elite who, like other university graduates, found the truth in the rich treasures of ancient Greek and Latin writings. A degree in medicine was a testament of higher learning, not merely a professional qualification, and Latin was the visible symbol of that learning. Medicine was valued not so much for its efficacy in curing patients as for the knowledge it implied about the universe and humankind. Such notable figures as Quesnay, who had a medical degree, and Diderot, Voltaire, and Rousseau studied medicine as an integral part of a broad, humanistic culture. The character of a physician, wrote an English practitioner in 1794, “ought to be that of a gentleman, which cannot be maintained . . . but by a man of literature. He is much in the world, and mixes in society with men of every description.” Students were easily converted to the idea of the centrality of classical study in their lives. A young man in Edinburgh, for example, ridiculed his medical professors in 1797 for their ignorance and that of their students, who “could not translate the easiest passage in Latin.” On the Continent, a Munich professor offered at about the same time to instruct a whole class of medical students in liberal studies, since “their knowledge of the Latin language, philosophy, logic, and other general branches of education” brought “shame” to the faculty. Such complaints were frequent by 1800, revealing the growing tension between the ideal and the real in the classical training of students and professors. What kind of education, then, was suitable for a late-eighteenth-century physician? The mastery of ancient literature and medical texts was still essential to one’s status as a gentleman but was no longer regarded as the sole qualification for success as a physician.

Abstract:
Contemporary Multi-User Virtual Environments (MUVEs) allow health educators, researchers, and practitioners (ERPs) to engage students, participants, and patients through innovative and uniquely rewarding methods. The technology’s value lies in its access to non-traditional participant pools, novel forms of social interaction, and cost-effective improvements to existing methods. These benefits are built on key Web 2.0 principles, namely social networking, community synthesis, and collaborative content generation. In light of ongoing dynamic development of virtual platforms, advancements in networking and immersion technology, and sustained consumer interest, the appeal of these environments will likely increase. Linden Lab’s Second Life (SL), a widely recognized and heavily populated MUVE, illustrates the technology’s broad spectrum of possibilities through the documented efforts of early adopters involved in health promotion, research, and therapy. However, ERPs must be mindful of the medium’s complexities, technological and social parameters, and weaknesses before considering development within virtual worlds (in-world). As these environments operate independently of the real world in some aspects, knowledge of gathering and creating relevant in-world and real-world resources, attracting and retaining project interest, and addressing common obstacles is essential. Through an analysis of the Texas Obesity Research Center at the University of Houston’s International Health Challenge in SL and the documented findings of past and existing health-related programs in SL, the authors seek to provide best practices to overcome these challenges and establish realistic parameters for program design and implementation.

J. 2014, 20, 15334) conditions for the coupling of a halide 2 with a tosyl­ate 1 with inversion of absolute configuration, leading to 3. Hegui Gong of Shanghai University coupled (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2014, 136, 17645) the glucosyl bromide 4 with an anhydride 5 to give the ketone 6. Luigi Vaccaro of the Università di Perugia showed (Org. Lett. 2014, 16, 5721) that TBAF promoted the opening of the epoxide 7 with the ketene silyl acetal 8, leading to the lactone 9. Valérie Desvergnes and Yannick Landais of the University of Bordeaux assembled (Chem. Eur. J. 2014, 20, 9336) the diketone 12 by using a Stetter catalyst to promote the conjugate addition of the acyl silane 11 to the enone 10. Thomas Werner of the Leibniz-Institute for Catalysis reported (Eur. J. Org. Chem. 2014, 6873) the enantioselective conversion of the prochiral triketone 13 to the bicyclic enone 15 by an intramolecular Wittig reaction, mediated by 14. Elizabeth H. Krenske of the University of Queensland and Christopher J. O’Brien also reported (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2014, 53, 12907) progress (not illustrated) on catalytic Wittig reactions. Michael J. Krische of the University of Texas showed (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2014, 136, 11902) that Ru-mediated addition of 17 to the aldehyde derived in situ from 16 gave 18 with high Z-selectivity. Vladimir Gevorgyan of the University of Illinois at Chicago constructed (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2014, 136, 17926) the trisubstituted alkene 20 by the intramolecular Heck cyclization of 19. Kálmán J. Szabó of Stockholm University opti­mized (Chem. Commun. 2014, 50, 9207) the Pd-catalyzed borylation of the alkene 21 followed by in situ addition to the aldehyde 22 to give 23. Boris A. Trofimov of the Irkutsk Institute of Chemistry Siberian Branch devel­oped (Eur. J. Org. Chem. 2014, 4663) aqueous conditions for the preparation of a propargylic alcohol 26 by the addition of an alkyne 25 to the ketone 24. Huanfeng Jiang of the South China University of Technology prepared (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2014, 53, 14485) the alkyne 28 by the oxidative elimination of the tosylhydrazone 27.

Abstract:
Xiangge Zhou of Sichuan University showed (Tetrahedron Lett. 2011, 52, 318) that even the monosubstituted alkene 1 was smoothly converted to the methyl ether 2 by catalytic FeCl3. Brian C. Goess of Furman University protected (J. Org. Chem. 2011, 76, 4132) the more reactive alkene of 3 as the 9-BBN adduct, allowing selective reduction of the less reactive alkene to give, after reoxidation, the monoreduced 4. Nobukazu Taniguchi of the Fukushima Medical University added (Synlett 2011, 1308) Na p-toluenesulfinate oxidatively to 1 to give the sulfone 5. Krishnacharya G. Akamanchi of the Indian Institute of Chemical Technology, Mumbai oxidized (Synlett 2011, 81) 1 directly to the bromo ketone 6. Osmium is used catalytically both to effect dihydroxylation, to prepare 8, and to mediate oxidative cleavage, as in the conversion of 7 to the dialdehyde 9. Ken-ichi Fujita of AIST Tsukuba devised (Tetrahedron Lett. 2011, 52, 3137) magnetically retrievable osmium nanoparticles that can be reused repeatedly for the dihydroxylation. B. Moon Kim of Seoul National University established (Tetrahedron Lett. 2011, 52, 1363) an extraction scheme that allowed the catalytic Os to be reused repeatedly for the oxidative cleavage. Maurizio Taddei of the Università di Siena showed (Synlett 2011, 199) that aqueous formaldehyde could be used in place of Co/H2 (syngas) for the formylation of 1 to 10. Hirohisa Ohmiya and Masaya Sawamura of Hokkaido University prepared (Org. Lett. 2011, 13, 1086) carboxylic acids (not illustrated) from alkenes using CO2. Joseph M. Ready of the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center selectively arylated (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2011, 50, 2111) the homoallylic alcohol 11 to give 12. Many reactions of alkenes are initiated by hydroboration, then conversion of the resulting alkyl borane. Hiroyuki Kusama of the Tokyo Institute of Technology photolyzed (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2011, 133, 3716) 14 with 13 to give the ketone 15. William G. Ogilvie of the University of Ottawa added (Synlett 2011, 1113) the 9-BBN adduct from 1 to 16 to give 17. Professors Ohmiya and Sawamura effected (Org. Lett. 2011, 13, 482) a similar conjugate addition, not illustrated, of 9-BBN adducts to α,β-unsaturated acyl imidazoles.

Abstract:
Thermodynamics is a branch of physics that deals with questions concerning energies and work of a system. It is one of the key topics for understanding processes in the universe as well as any separate system like a gas mixture or a single cell in a biological system. Thermodynamics is included in the university curriculum for engineering, chemistry and physics students as well as medical student curriculum. This paper outlines the problems faced by first year medical students learning thermodynamics at Riga Stradinš University. We describe a medically relevant context based approach to teaching that demonstrates the interdisciplinary nature of medical chemistry, molecular biology and biochemistry. Our method provides a model in which disciplinary barriers are diminished and increased effectiveness of teaching is achieved. Key words: interdisciplinary teaching, medical chemistry, thermodynamics, teaching and learning thermodynamics.

Abstract:
The results of basic and translational research of the Department of Biomedical Research and Technology of Irkutsk Scientific Center of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences in 2012–2016 The paper presents the results of interdisciplinary research carried out in 2012–2016. The review includes the study of molecular mechanisms of pathogenesis of reparative regeneration, experimental substantiation of methods of diagnosis and prognosis of systemic disturbances of regeneration process, carrying out clinical trials of medicinal products and the formation of observational studies in the field of personalized medicine, the preparation of practical recommendations on the testing of previously developed surgical methods of prevention or correction of postoperative recovery disorders. New data are obtained on the role of the MAP-kinase cascade in the process of regeneration of muscle tissue. It has been established, that with a significant increase of VEGF concentration at the site of the repair of ischemic myocardium, progenitor cells with the CD34+CD45+ phenotype appear, which opens up prospects for the development of biotechnology to restore the damaged myocardium with its own pool of progenitor cells. The new data on the role of growth factors in the post-infarction remodeling are found. It has been revealed, that in local increase of selenium concentration low intensity of mineralization of forming callus in the area of the damage is observed and the formation of bone regeneration slows down. Prospects for the use of nanocomposites of elemental selenium for modulation of reparative response are marked. The dynamics of the level of free circulating mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) of blood in the early stages of experimental dyslipidemia has been studied. Atherogenic blood factors do not have a significant effect on the release of the mtDNA from dyslipidemia target cells. On the model of acute small-focal myocardial ischemia, we revealed the increase in the mtDNA levels. Prospects of broadcast of diagnostic mtDNA monitoring technology in myocardial ischemia have been marked. The mtDNA monitoring was first tested as a molecular risk pattern in acute coronary syndrome. In survived patients, the concentration of freely circulating mtDNA in blood plasma was 164 times lower. The probability of death of the patient with a high level of mtDNA (over 4000 copies/mL) was 50 % (logit analysis). Methodological level of translational research in the ISC SB RAS has increased due to effective participation in international multi-center clinical trials of drugs, mainly direct anticoagulants: fondaparinux, edoksabana, betriksabana. “Feedback broadcast” of the results of clinical trials of p38-kinase inhibitor, was carried out in the process of changing the model (initially – neuropathic pain) for coronary atherosclerosis. Technologies of pharmacogenetic testing and personalized treatment of diseases in the employees of the Irkutsk Scientific Center were applied. Step T2. Previously developed at the Irkutsk State Medical University and the Irkutsk Scientific Center of Surgery and Traumatologies approaches to surgical prevention and medicinal correction of postoperative hyposplenism were translated into practical health care. Thus, these results obtained in different areas of translational medicine will determine scientific topics of the department in future research cycle.
