Teaching Banking and Finance Online: A case study
Get PDFThe objective of this paper is to identify the challenges that online teaching and learning involves, with particular reference to the online teaching of banking and finance. A case study method has been used to investigate the challenges in online teaching of banking and finance. The study shows that while the content of the unit could be delivered online very efficiently; many operational problems could mar this mode from becoming an effective teaching and learning mode. The author taught the banking and finance course online at the University of Southern Queensland during semester 1 of 2001. The author designed this unit, prepared the course material, delivered it online and assessed the unit online. At that point of time and even today no University in Australia delivers this unit. Another important feature of this paper is the quick survey the author did about the use of WebCT by undergraduate finance students at University of Canberra and the comparison of his experience of using the online technology at USQ and the one at UC. The challenges faced and the way these were overcome could be of interest to those interested in teaching banking and finance onlin
A prospective, open-label, non-randomised clinical trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Imupsora in the treatment of Psoriasis
Get PDFObjectives: To evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of Imupsora Tablet and Ointment in Psoriasis. Material and Methods: A prospective, interventional clinical study was conducted on 50 patients of both sexes, aged between 18-55 years, confirmed with Psoriasis from clinical examination and who were willing to give informed consent. All patients received Imupsora Tablet at a dose of 2 tablets twice a day for 12 weeks and Imupsora Ointment to be applied over the affected areas thrice daily as a thin film and rubbed gently. All patients were evaluated at baseline, 4 weeks, 8 weeks and 12 weeks for parameters of Psoriasis Area Severity Index (PASI); Physician\u27s and Patient\u27s global assessment at end of the study. Observation: Imupsora Tablet and Ointment therapy reduced erythema, scaling, indurations and pruritus by 78.01%, 69.74%, 58.45%, and 56.80% respectively at the end of 12 weeks from baseline. The global assessment of response by physicians showed that 28% of patients showed a good improvement while another 60% showed fair improvement in their condition by the end of 12 weeks of treatment. Similarly, 46% and 42% of the patient\u27s global assessment indicated fair and good response at the end of treatment respectively. Result: Imupsora Tablet and Ointment produced a significant reduction in all the inflammatory/metabolic parameters associated with Psoriasis assessed after 12 weeks of treatment. In addition, a significant improvement in Clinical Global Impression in efficacy and tolerability was also observed. No adverse events were reported by any patients. This indicates that Imupsora Tablet and Ointment is clinically effective and safe for Psoriasis
