This course is the continuation of NN00206 Research Project 1, where students are required to complete their ongoing research project. In this course, students will focus on laboratory analyses and/or field work. It is the students’ responsibility to consult their supervisor regarding the final year project (FYP). At the end of the project, students will report their findings in the form of a FYP report, which will be submitted for examination by two examiners (not including the supervisor). The examiners shall be appointed by the course coordinator. All FYP reports submitted for examination must adhere to the scientific writing style and standards approved by UMS. Each student will be called to defend his/her FYP report in an oral examination, which will be conducted after submission of the report. After that, students are expected to do corrections as recommended by the supervisor and examiners.
“This course will emphasise nutrient metabolism and biochemical pathways for both conditions; normal and disease states, and also will focus on nutritional disorders related to macro-and micronutrients towards non-communicable diseases. Thus, this course will enable students to understand the objective, scope and principles of biochemistry concerning human nutrition and the biological processes and systems applicable to nutrition.”
The course discusses the biomolecules and their chemistries in reactions that facilitate the processes in living/biological systems. The syllabus includes amino acids, proteins, enzymes, carbohydrates and lipid. The structures, mechanisms, and control of these components are discussed. The energy consumption/generation and electron transfer in metabolisms such as the glycolytic pathway, the citric acid cycle, and the oxidative phosphorylation are also discussed. The metabolisms of Lipid and amino acid are also discussed.
ABOUT THIS COURSE This course offers a unique opportunity for HA20 2nd Year Students and HA52 3rd Year Students to dive into a thought-provoking and essential topic: Children in Troubled Families. Whether you're taking this course as a requirement or as an elective, you’ll embark on a journey to explore the complex realities that children face when living in difficult, often heart-wrenching, circumstances. Throughout this course, you’ll gain a deep understanding of key definitions, concepts, and theories that help explain the struggles these children experience. We will uncover the psychological, mental, and emotional challenges they endure, and explore real-world issues that continue to affect children living with disadvantaged families or in troubled environments. You will be introduced to a variety of critical topics, such as how these conditions impact both children and their families, and you’ll engage in discussions that focus on the why and how behind these situations. What forces drive these family challenges? What ripple effects do they create on the children’s lives? This course doesn’t just focus on the problems—it’s also about solutions. Together, we will brainstorm and discuss practical ways to minimize the negative impacts these circumstances can have on children. Expect a mix of in-depth theory, real-world examples, and solution-based discussions to empower you to understand and, perhaps, influence positive change for children in troubled families.
