Biblioteket tilbyr kurs våren 2021 / The library offers courses spring 2021

Posted onAuthorKristina B Heggø

Biblioteket tilbyr følgende kurs våren 2021. Kursene er planlagt å holdes digitalt eller som hybrid (fysisk og digitalt) i biblioteket.

– Introduksjon til EndNote
– Workshop i EndNote (spørsmål og svar)
– Søkekurs i PubMed og Embase
– Introduksjon til systematiske oversikter

Introduksjon til EndNote: I kursene gjennomgåes hvordan man kan bygge opp en egen EndNote-database med referanser man trenger til forskningen. I tillegg vises hvordan man enkelt kan bruke EndNote i skriveprosessen i Word slik at man får formaterte referanser og en automatisk generert litteraturliste. EndNote har dessuten mer funksjonalitet , f.eks. kan man gruppere referansene i EndNote, og laste inn fulltekst til artiklene og dermed lage sitt eget elektroniske bibliotek.

Workshop i EndNote: Workshopen baserer seg på spørsmål deltakerne melder inn, og kan dreie seg om funksjonalitet i EndNote, som å legge til tidsskriftforkortelser, redigere stiler eller bestille artikler rett fra EndNote, eller andre tips for effektiv bruk av programmet.

Søkekurs i PubMed og Embase: Alle bruker PubMed, men med litt ekstra kunnskap kan du gjøre mer effektive søk. I kurset viser vi for eksempel hvordan du kan bruke emneordene MeSH, eller utnytte filtre i Clinical queries. Embase er den andre store medisinske artikkeldatabasen som dekker en del andre tidsskrifter enn PubMed/Medline. Den er derfor et viktig supplement til Medline, for å få et bedre overblikk over fagets litteratur.

Introduksjon til systematiske oversikter: Kurset gir en introduksjon til temaet systematiske oversikter. Vi gjennomgår ulike databaser for å finne systematiske oversikter, og prosessen hvor man selv utfører en systematisk oversikt som å skrive en protokoll, forberedelser til søking, tips og verktøy for datahåndtering og kvalitetsvurdering, og rapportering. Vi gir også informasjon om hvilken hjelp og støtte biblioteket kan gi i arbeidet med systematiske oversikter.

Kursene er fortrinnsvis for ansatte og stipendiater. De fleste studenter får bibliotekkurs som en del av sin studieplan. Dersom ikke det er tilfelle kan de melde seg på disse kursene.

Kursdatoer, påmelding og mer informasjon finnes på https://www.uib.no/ub/126018/kurs-og-veiledning#kurs-med-p-melding

The medical library offers courses in spring 2021. Courses are planned being held digitally or as a combination of physically and digitally.

– Introduction to EndNote
– Searching in PubMed and Embase
– Introduction to systematic reviews

Introduction to EndNote: EndNote is a tool for managing references. The course covers how to build your own EndNote database, how to use references from EndNote in the writing process with Word, formatting the text and generating literature lists. Other functionalities like grouping, removing duplicates, and importing full text will also be covered.

Searching in PubMed and Embase: Everyone can use PubMed. However, with some extra knowledge you can search more efficiently. In the course we demonstrate the use of subject headings MeSH, and the use of filters for quick limiting to clinical queries like diagnostic studies, or intervention studies. Embase is another important medical database which covers a number of different journals than PubMed/Medline. Therefore, it is a valuable supplement to Medline, if you want to get a better overview over the literature within your subject.

Introduction to systematic reviews: The course gives an introduction to systematic reviews. The library presents several databases for finding systematic reviews, and gives an overview over the process of doing your own systematic review: write a protocol, prepare the search, data management, quality appraisal, and guidelines for reporting. We also inform about the role of the library in the different phases of the work with a systematic review.

The courses are mainly for employees and PhD-candidates at the Faculty of Medicine and for employees at Helse Bergen. Courses for students are normally given as a part of their study program.

Opplæringsøkter i bruk av moduler i MittUiB for undervisere i medisinstudiet

Posted onAuthorSiri S. Trosvik

Invitasjon til alle som underviser på medisinstudiet

Det er forventet at alle undervisere i medisinstudiet har tilgang til og benytter MittUiB, og dette er spesielt viktig i en tid med mye digital undervisning. Vi vet at det varierer hvor mye de enkelte underviserne benytter MittUiB og Programutvalget for medisin vil derfor gjerne invitere alle undervisere i medisinstudiet til korte opplæringsøkter i MittUiB. Opplæringsøktene blir holdt digitalt av Harald G. Wiker, og innholdet vil tilpasses etter behovet de påmeldte har. For de tidspunktene som er satt opp nå i høst er temaet «moduler».

Det er ønskelig med påmelding via: https://skjemaker.app.uib.no/view.php?id=9319601

Lenke til møtet blir sendt til de som er påmeldte i forkant av kurset.

Oppdatering om Ph.D.-kurs på nett ved CCBIO

Posted onAuthorKjetil U. Harkestad

CCBIO kjører nå vårens to Ph.D.-kurs på nettet, og opplever en voldsom pågang til begge disse:

CCBIO904 Biomarkers and Tumor Biology in Clinical Practice 25.–27. mai
CCBIO908 Scientific Writing and Communication Seminar 8.–11. juni

CCBIO904 er nå stengt for påmelding da det er fullbooket, og er nå kun mulig å melde seg på via venteliste.

Interessen kommer selvsagt fra vår egen campus, men også fra andre fakulteter ved UiB, andre norske institusjoner, og mange fra andre nordiske universiteter. En invitasjon gjennom annonsering i NorDoc-nettverket har åpenbart nådd frem. Både CCBIO og studentene er glade for å få dekket kursbehovene på denne måten, nå når vi inntil videre ikke kan møtes i auditoriene, og det er fint å se at våre nordiske kolleger også følger med på våre aktiviteter.

Det ligger an til noen spennende gruppearbeider i kursene, på tvers av forskergrupper og landegrenser! CCBIO908 har fortsatt ledige plasser, selv om der er over 200 deltakere i øyeblikket, men denne typen kurs er tilrettelagt for et stort format.

Methods for analyzing DNA variation and structure and RNA expression patterns will be covered, as well as nuclear and chromatin structure. Also, ethical and legal aspects, and hereditary predisposition, will be taught.

CCBIO906 will give you knowledge regarding:

  • What kinds of mutations may predispose for, contribute to, or appear during cancer development
  • How these variants can be detected by NGS methods and be analyzed bioinformatically
  • How to employ these methods to stratify patients both diagnostically and therapeutically
  • The different implications of the same aberrations depending on tissue type
  • Ethical and legal regulations regarding genetic analyses of patient samples

The course is mainly intended for PhD candidates, but open to all, both students at other levels and researchers. There is no course fee.

When: 19-21 February 2020
Where: Room B307, Haukeland University Hospital, main building 3rd floor (Sentralblokken), Bergen

Registration open for CCBIO903 Cancer research: Ethical, economic and social aspects

Posted onAuthorSiri S. Trosvik

Increasing integration and convergence between biomedical, ethical and social aspects have become an intrinsic part of cancer research. Cancer researchers and clinicians face important questions and dilemmas every day:
• How can we deal with the uncertainties in the lab, while maintaining the quality of our science?
• How can medical science contribute to debates on what is good for society?
• How can economic models help guide health care resource allocation?

This 9-days intensive course (5 ECTS) gives candidates the opportunity to discuss these questions in an open and participatory way, and gain knowledge on how to implement this in their research and their grant proposals. All PhD candidates within cancer research (in Norway and abroad) are welcome to apply. Other students and researchers are also welcome.

When: 9-13 December 2019 and 6-9 January 2020
Where: Haukeland campus, Bergen
