Faculty publication trends in a Japanese national university: a diachronic document analysis

BackgroundWe previously demonstrated that in a Japanese national university’s medical faculty, overall paper publication frequency increased between 1979–1980 and 2017–2018, while original paper publication did not increase. Further, publication language changed from predominantly Japanese to English. However, whether these trends are specific to medicine or representative of other faculties remains unclear.MethodsWe diachronically analyzed annual university library-produced publication reports for four pharmaceutical and three medical units between 1979–1980 and 2019–2020, elucidating how publication frequency, type, and language medium changed.ResultsAll publication types increased for the pharmaceutical faculty, from 2.87 per faculty member per year to 10.77. Publication of original papers more than doubled, from 1.06 per faculty member per year to 2.37. This increase was exclusively in English publication, with no publication of Japanese original papers in 2019–2020. This contrasts with medicine, which, while it demonstrated similar increases in all publication types combined, from 4.92 papers per faculty member per year to 12.78, did not demonstrate as striking an increase in total original paper publication (English and Japanese), from 1.21 papers per faculty member per year to 1.30. However, these two faculties observed similar trends in that English largely replaced Japanese original paper publication. That both faculties’ Japanese original paper publication decreased suggests English language original paper publication comes at the expense of publishing in Japanese. Concerning both faculties together, the increase in publishing frequency for all publication types more than tripled from 4.01 to 12.38. This was largely driven by changes in conference paper publication for the pharmaceutical sciences faculty, where English publication increased 2,775% (0.06 to 1.7 papers per faculty member per year) and Japanese language publication 258% (1.33 to 4.77). While conference paper publication did increase for the medical sciences, its change in total publication frequency was largely driven by ‘other’ types of publication, which increased from 0.51 publications per faculty member per year in 1979–1980 to 5.41 in 2019–2020, largely driven by Japanese language publication.ConclusionIn 2019–2020, pharmaceutical sciences faculty members largely published original papers in English, so postgraduate education should consider the future likelihood of graduates needing to publish in English.

ЭЛЕКТРОННОЕ ОБУЧЕНИЕ ПО ХИМИИ В МЕДИЦИНСКОМ ВУЗЕ: ПЛЮСЫ И МИНУСЫ

Among the 1st-year students of the general medicine, pediatric, preventive medicine faculties, faculty of medical biochemistry, as well as the 2nd-year students of the pharmaceutical faculty of the Northern State Medical University, a sociological study was conducted to assess the quality of e-learning in chemical disciplines at the medical university. Northern State Medical University uses the Moodle electronic platform to provide e-learning. The total number of respondents was 241 people. The students gave a fairly good assessment of the electronic course in chemical disciplines (8,1±1,6). Almost all respondents (84,7%) use the Moodle electronic platform when mastering the discipline of Chemistry; 53,5% prefer to pre-watch video materials on laboratory work, perform laboratory experiments in the laboratory of the chemistry department, draw up conclusions under the guidance of a teacher. 76,4% of students constantly use questions in the module of the Moodle electronic platform to prepare for classes. At the same time, 55,2% of students prefer to pass the knowledge control at a practical lesson. 79,3% consider it impossible to use only distance learning in the process of studying chemical disciplines. The most preferred form of education for students is mixed (81,3%). The students made suggestions for changes in the work of e-learning on the Moodle platform.

Features of the modern human resources component of the pharmaceutical industry (based on the materials of a survey of employees of pharmaceutical and biotechnological companies and enterprises in Moscow)

BACKGROUND: The development of the pharmaceutical industry at the present stage determines the high level of need for specialists with specialized education who have additional knowledge, skills and abilities necessary for the implementation of both research and organizational tasks (first of all, registration of medicines) and knowledge in the field of the regulatory field of the industry. At the same time, one of the most pressing problems of pharmaceutical companies is a personnel shortage, the solution of which requires strengthening cooperation between specialized universities and industry enterprises.
 OBJECTIVE: The purpose was to study the trajectories of professional formation and adaptation of specialists of pharmaceutical industry organizations.
 MATERIALS AND METHODS: The article presents the results of a study carried out by a questionnaire survey (authors questionnaire) conducted among employees of eight pharmaceutical and biotechnological companies and enterprises in Moscow (n=211), which allowed us to determine the features of the formation of personnel and professional development of specialists in the modern pharmaceutical industry.
 RESULTS: Currently, the pharmaceutical industry is experiencing a shortage of personnel with basic pharmaceutical education, which forces enterprises to hire employees with basic chemical, biotechnological or medical education, as well as representatives of related professions who acquire special pharmaceutical knowledge already in the course of their work. In turn, graduates of pharmaceutical faculties are reluctant to join pharmaceutical companies and organizations, because after graduation they do not have the practical skills and competencies necessary to work in them. In the current situation, various forms of professional development, obtaining additional professional, second and higher education are of particular importance, which in most cases is encouraged by employers interested in obtaining qualified personnel.
 CONCLUSION: The dynamics of the development of domestic pharmacy in the near future is expected to determine the transformation of ideas (social portrait) about a specialist in the pharmaceutical industry, which, among other things, will contribute to strengthening the prestige of the profession. At the same time, the processes of digital and technological development of the industry necessitate the continuous updating of educational programs of universities for the training of specialists with pharmaceutical education that meets the challenges of modernity.

EXPERIENCE OF PROFESSIONAL US PHARMACIST TRAINING IN ORGANIZATIONAL AND MANAGEMENT ACTIVITIES IN THE INDUSTRY

The study has analyzed a set of sources of foreign experience in pharmacy specialist training. It has been determined that employees of the pharmaceutical industry must have management and organizational skills to manage personnel and production, the sale of medicinal products in a broad sense of this concept and depending on the specifics of the industry. American scientists pay special attention to the formation of compassion and the ability to maximize patient safety in pharmacists (E. Scott); focus attention on the need for moral education in pharmaceutical educational institutions (D. Latif); develop cultural qualities of pharmaceutical workers as the ability to service-oriented partnership while considering the development of communicative qualities, tact, benevolence towards the customers of the pharmacy as crucial (D. Rodiz). Practicing teachers in the USA supported the position regarding the formation of professional culture and its deontological component in the process of teaching the disciplines «Pharmaceutical law and ethics», «Personal care and elementary medicine», «Pharmaceutical management», etc. It has been found that the existing educational programs of pharmaceutical faculties in the USA are deeply oriented towards mastering organizational and administrative skills by future specialists; it enables rapid retraining and response to dynamic changes in market conditions. Emphasis is placed on the need for additional graduate education preceded by formal degree programs for American pharmaceutical managers.
 It has been established that in the curriculum of pharmacy specialists in the USA, there are the following disciplines: pharmaceutical management, ethics of pharmaceutical activity, interpersonal communications of healthcare professionals, pharmaceutical legislation, and economics. While mastering the specialty of professional practical management (Professional Practice Management), pharmacy specialists study financial management, pharmacoeconomics, cost containment strategies, labor resource management, and the choice of specialization in one of the directions of pharmaceutical management (public pharmacy, entrepreneurship, drug production research, pharmaceutical supply management). It gives reason to conclude attention to the formation of the pharmacists' organizational and management culture. From the perspective of research activity on the issue, the specification of the theoretical foundations and detailing methodological aspects of the American experience implementation of training specialists are outlined.

Comparative analysis of the understanding the "ten-star pharmacist" concept by pharmaceutical specialists and pharmacy students of medical universities of Ukraine and Poland

Introduction The aim of our study was to conduct a comparative analysis of the opinions of pharmaceutical professionals and senior students of pharmaceutical faculties of Ukraine and Poland on awareness of the "ten-star pharmacist" concept. Methods An anonymous survey was conducted among Ukrainian and Polish pharmaceutical workers (n = 614 and n = 209) and students (n = 516 and n = 475). The analyzed period in Ukraine was February-April 2020, in Poland - June-September 2020. Results This study revealed differences of opinion between the respondents and a lack of proper knowledge about the above concept. On the one hand, they have a high level of awareness of some professional roles, but on the other part, the rest of them cause hesitation and lack of affirmative opinion. Conclusions Inadequate awareness of professional roles indicates the need to create effective mechanisms for implementing the "ten-star pharmacist" concept in the practical and educational systems of both countries.

Вишкіл офіцерів запасу у Львівському медичному інституті (1944–1991)

Ukraine has been at war with Russia since 2014. Right now, in 2022 an estimated 100,000 Russian troops have been deployed near Ukraine. It is important that even medical units have been sent to the Ukrainian border. In these conditions military training of the students of higher medical educational institutions is clearly actual. After all, the specific of this profession is that future doctors must be able to perform their work in combat conditions, and in unstable times of emergencies and so on. During the Soviet period, despite frequent reforms and changes in the military education system, military training of medical students was taken as seriously as possible. That is why the aim of the study is to investigate the process of how reserve officers were trained at the military department of the Lviv State Medical Institute throughout the Soviet period. The study focuses on the process of theoretical and practical training of medical students. The military department of the Medical Institute worked continuously throughout the Soviet period (1944–1991). From 1944−1945 academic year students of the medical and pharmaceutical faculties, regardless of gender, studied here for 5 and 4 years respectively. Besides some general military courses: general military training, tactic and fire training, students took more specific disciplines: sanitary protection, pathology and therapy, organization and tactics of the sanitary service, military field surgery, organization of the stages of medical evacuation, organization of the medical points. From the mid-1960s, students of the medical, pediatric, dental, and pharmaceutical faculties studied at the military department. The training of male students of medical and pediatric faculties was stricter and stronger as they were preparing for the camp training, while students of the dental and pharmaceutical faculties, as well as female students of the medical and pediatric faculties did not pass camps. Military department had such cycles of training: organization and tactics of the medical service, weapons of mass destruction, medical supplies, and the course of Civil Defense. It is important to note, that according to the results of inspections in 1970–1980, military department of the Lviv Medical Institute was the flagship of the training of medical officers among the universities of Carpathian Military District and one of the best in the Ukrainian SSR.

Silver jubilee of the Faculty of Pharmacy of Kazan State Medical University

At the turn of the century, 25 years have passed since that significant day, when in 1975 the first admission of students to the Faculty of Pharmacy of the Kazan State Medical University (then - the Institute) was carried out. The need to create such a faculty was dictated by the fact that the pharmaceutical faculties and institutes of the Soviet Union that existed by that time could not meet the needs of the Republic of Tatarstan and neighboring regions in highly qualified pharmaceutical specialists. Its opening in Kazan was associated with the presence of a higher medical educational institution with an established pharmacological school, an internationally recognized scientific school of organic chemists headed by academicians A.E. Arbuzov and B.A. Arbuzov, a developed chemical industry, as well as a large chemical and pharmaceutical enterprise. However, no matter how favorable these factors were, by themselves they could not lead to a positive outcome in the creation of the Faculty of Pharmacy. This event was destined to come true thanks to the initiative of several specific people, supported by the entire emerging teaching staff of the faculty.

MANAGERIAL COMPETENCE DEVELOPMENT IN THE CONTEXT OF PHILOSOPHY OF EDUCATION.

The aim: To analyze the problem of university management in the cultural and philosophical aspects. Materials and methods: The research was conducted in the form of a written questionnaire. Students were supposed to give a single answer to each question. The survey was conducted in September 2017-2018 and 2018-2019 academic year at Ternopil National Medical University. It encompassed 274 second-year Ukrainian students of medical, dental and pharmaceutical faculties and Institute of Nursing and 228 first, second and third year foreign students, who have come from the USA and study at the faculty of foreign students and International School of Medicine. Although the number of foreign students who participated in the survey was small, we believe that the number of respondents was sufficient enough to draw conclusions about the general trends in the issue under study. Results: Analysis of responses given by Ukrainian and American students allowed us to single out certain trends and specific differences in their outlook and professionally relevant persuasions and attitudes. A positive peculiarity is that the main motive that prompted Ukrainian students to choose a medical profession was that they believe it to be humane and noble (36%). Despite this, many students consider other important criteria when choosing a profession; particularly that it is prestigious and well-paid (21 % and 13 % respectively). The negative sign is that relatively big amount of students in the comparison with Western countries (the USA in particular), indicate that the occupational choice was influenced by their parents' desire (14 %). Conclusions: The role of pedoetology as one of the priorities of pedagogical science and practice, which should generalize managerial aspects, has been proved. The experience of university education of the USA in the questions of educational management has been analyzed. An overview of the basic concepts relevant to the management of American higher education has been conducted. The features of university management in the USA in modern conditions have been characterized. The differences in the field of professionally significant value orientations between Ukrainian and American students have been investigated. The emphasis is given to the role of teachers' philosophical culture in successful teaching and learning.

К ВОПРОСУ О КОММУНИКАТИВНОЙ ТОЛЕРАНТНОСТИ СТУДЕНТОВ ФАРМАЦЕВТИЧЕСКОГО ФАКУЛЬТЕТА ВГМУ

The aim of the research is to study communicative tolerance of students of the Pharmaceutical Faculty of VSMU and analyze its dynamical characteristics. When comparing the degree of communicative tolerance for the 1<sup>st</sup>, 2<sup>nd</sup> and 5<sup>th</sup> year students respectively, there is a tendency towards a decrease in high and low degree of communicative tolerance and an increase in its average degree. It suggests about positive influence of the educational process on the communicative competence formation of a future pharmacist. Students with a high level of scale indicators (low degree of communicative tolerance) should be within the view of teachers of the Faculty of Pedagogics and Psychology with the course of Retraining and Advanced Training Faculty, employees of the social and pedagogical and psychological services, curators of academic groups and tutors.

Study of adherence of pharmaceutical workers and population to immunoprophylaxis of coronaviral infection

The results of this study indicate a lack of adherence to immunoprophylaxis of coronavirus infection both among the surveyed pharmaceutical workers, who are both senior students of the pharmaceutical faculty, and the population, and the need for educational, informational and educational work among them. The topic of immunization of coronavirus infection and other infectious diseases can be one of the topical topics in advanced training courses for pharmacists and pharmacists. In turn, the information and educational work of the pharmacist among the population, carried out in accordance with the labor functions of professional standards, can help improve people's knowledge about the device and mechanisms of action of vaccines against coronavirus. Comprehensive and understandable informing the population about vaccines, from scientific, medical, pharmaceutical, ethical, religious and other positions, can help to overcome internal anti-vaccination attitudes in people and form a commitment to immunoprophylaxis of coronavirus infection and other infectious diseases. In general, this will help people make an informed, independent and free decision about immunization.

О ДИНАМИКЕ ПОТРЕБНОСТНОЙ СОСТАВЛЯЮЩЕЙ КОММУНИКАТИВНОЙ ДЕЯТЕЛЬНОСТИ СТУДЕНТОВ ФАРМАЦЕВТИЧЕСКОГО ФАКУЛЬТЕТА ВГМУ

The purpose of this research is to study the need for the students' communication activity component at the Pharmaceutical faculty of VSMU. Dual feature of the levels indicators dynamics in the need for communication is revealed. On the one hand, there is a tendency to reduce the average level in the need for communication and to increase its high level at the expense of girls. On the other hand, there is a fairly significant increase in the average level in the need for communication among young men against the background of an obvious predominance of the average level in the need for communication among the students of the entire sampling. The study allows us to state obvious influence of the informational educational environment at VSMU on the personal growth of students at the Pharmaceutical faculty, on the formation of their communicative competence as the most important component of the professional competence of future pharmacists. The results of the study can be used in the educational process of VSMU, in the activities of the social and pedagogical and psychological service, in the work of educators in academic groups and for tutors.

Features of teaching the fundamental and optional subjects to foreign applicants for higher education at the Department of Microbiology, Virology and Immunology of the National University of Pharmacy

Aim. To generalize the experience in teaching the fundamental and optional subjects at the Department of Microbiology, Virology and Immunology, find new methodological and pedagogical techniques in order to optimize the assimilation of basic medical concepts and skills among foreign applicants for higher education. Materials and methods. Within the framework of this study the modern data on methods and aids in teaching were studied, approaches to teaching the disciplines of the biomedical profile, such as “Microbiology with the basics of immunology” as a fundamental subject, and disciplines “Epidemiology of diseases” and “Tropical infections” as optionalsubjects for foreign applicants for higher education at the Department of Microbiology, Virology and Immunology of the National University of Pharmacy were systematized and analyzed. Results and discussion. The discipline “Microbiology with the basics of immunology” refers to the fundamental disciplines of the biomedical profile, which is studied by foreign applicants for higher education of the pharmaceutical faculty. At the Department of Microbiology, Virology and Immunology of the National University of Pharmacy various modern methodological techniques are used when conducting lectures, practical classes and seminars. In the educational process modern methods of teaching, monitoring and assessing knowledge are widely used in the form of a computer survey that involves foreign students in the process of mastering computer technologies aimed at forming their knowledge;it helps to successfully solve educational problems within the classroom setting. The widespread use of the test control of knowledge is an important means of increasing the effectiveness of the educational process. The inclusion of interactive forms in the educational process relieves the nervous load of students, makes it possible to change the forms of activity, switch attention to the key issues of the topic of the lessons. It is also ethodologically interesting to conduct practical classes in the form of a discussion abstract conference, as well as the use of role-playing games. All this allows an objective assessment of the student’s preparation for the lesson, develops communication skills, creative thinking, an active life position, the ability to formulate thoughts using professional terms, forms public speaking skills, forms stereotypes of professional behavior and their correction in communication. Conclusions. In recent years, the Ukrainian education system has been undergoing modernization of the learning process. Constant changes open up the need for each teacher to search for such pedagogical technologies that will motivate students, will make them interested in studying the discipline. This is especially true for such a category of students as foreign students. Thus, for the successful formation of effective educational activities of foreign students it is necessary to have modern educational and methodological literature, creative organization of the students’ independent work aimed at the wide use of active teaching methods (group discussions, business games), the effective work with information, setting and solving scientific practical problems, the participation of teachers and students in joint research work.
