Hi,
PRO-GRADU PROJECT ON Wnt4 signaling in adult kidney.
A Pro-gradu student positions are available in Developmental Biology research group in the Faculty of Biochemistry and Molecular Medicine, University of Oulu.
The pro-gradu projects will focus on understanding how Wnt4 is implicated in the development of chronic kidney disease. We are especially interested in the role of Wnt4 signaling and its interacting partners carrying different experiment based on cell lines and mouse line using Western blot, qPCR and pull-down assay followed by ChIPqCR. For more detailed information, please contact Florence Naillat (florence.naillat(a)oulu.fi<mailto:florence.naillat@oulu.fi>).
Best wishes,
Florence

Heipä hei histonit!
Huhtikuussa OYY järjesti kyselyn, jossa selviteltiin koronan vaikutusta opiskelijoiden opintoihin ja hyvinvointiin. Kyselyn tulokset ovat löydettävissä osoitteesta https://www.oyy.fi/ylioppilaskunnan-koronakyselyn-tulokset-on-nyt-julkaistu/. Näistä tuloksista on mm. nähtävissä, että noin kolmasosalla vastaajista on ollut vaikeuksia edistää opintojaan, ohjauksen ja tuen kaipuu mm. eristyksessä olemiseen, sekä stressi-, motivaatio-, ja elämänhallintaongelmien lisääntyminen. Kyselyyn vastasi 1603 opiskelijaa, eli 12% kaikista Oulun yliopiston opiskelijoista. 7% vastaajista vastasi kyselyyn englanniksi ja 93% suomeksi. 2% kaikista vastaajista olivat BMTK:lta.
Kyselyssä on kysytty poikkeusolojen vaikutusta opiskeluun, etäopiskelun kuormittavuutta, kuinka hyvin tiedekunta ja yliopisto on tiedottanut ohjeistaan ja linjauksistaan poikkeusoloihin ja opintojaksoihin nähden. Kyselyyn kuuluu kaikkiaan 15 kysymystä, ja kysely on nähtävissä aiemmin linkatulta sivulta löydettävän raportin lopusta.
Suurin osa BMTK:n vastaajista ovat kokeneet saaneensa hyvin tietoa yliopiston ja tiedekunnan linjauksista tilanteeseen sekä opintojaksojen suorittamisesta.
Opintojaksojen työmäärän kasvulla ei monen mukaan ollut suurta vaikutusta (47/100) vastatessa ettei se ole vaikeuttanut eikä helpottanut opintoja ja 30 vastatessa etteivät osaa sanoa työmäärän lisääntymisen vaikutuksesta. 7 koki työmäärän kasvun lievästi helpottavaksi, 13 lievästi vaikeuttavaksi, ja 3 merkittävästi vaikeuttavaksi.
Vastaajien mukaan etäopetus on koettu hyvin järjestetyksi.
Opintojaksojen järjestelyiden joustavuutta ei kukaan vastanneista kokenut vaikeuttavaksi.
TÄRKEÄÄ! 20.6 eli huomenna klo 11-13 ylioppilaskunnan asiantuntijat vastaavat kysymyksiin OYY:n IG-tilin stooreissa (@oyystudentunion), kysymyksiä voi tälläkin hetkellä lähettää heidän stoorin kautta.
Terveisin
Manu Markkanen, infojäbä
Hope y'all are doing well!
In April the Oulu student union made a poll regarding the effects of corona on student well-being and studies. The results of the poll can be found at https://www.oyy.fi/the-results-of-the-corona-survey-by-the-student-union-ha…. The results show difficulties in furthering studies, longing for more guidance and support regarding issues such as isolation, and an increase in stress-, motivation-, and life management issues. The poll was answered by 1603 students (12% of all Oulu University students). 7% of the responders answered in English and 93% in Finnish. 2% of the responders were from FBMM.
The poll's questions were directed at the effect of current circumstances on studies, the strain of distanced learning, and how well the university and faculty had informed students about the actions because of the circumstances, including actions regarding course completion. The poll contained 15 questions and can be found at the bottom of the report found in the link discussed prior.
Most of the responders from FBMM have felt that they've been informed well over circumstantial actions and the completion of courses.
An increase in course workload has not been seen to affect many of the responders (47/100). 30 of the responders couldn't say whether it made their studies easier or harder. 7 experienced the increase as slightly helpful, 13 slightly harmful, and 3 as highly harmful towards their studies.
The responders experienced distanced teaching to be arranged well.
The flexibility of course arrangement wasn't found to increase difficulty in completing studies by any of the responders.
IMPORTANT! Tomorrow, the 20.6 11-13 the Oulu student union will be answering questions regarding the results in their IG-story (@oyystudentunion). You can find a box to type questions in right now from their current story.
Best regards,
Manu Markkanen, The Info Guy
Dear All,
Thanks for participating the teaching feedback day. We had a nice discussion based on what was brought forward by students and teachers.
Things to improve or try to manage for the future:
- presentation of research groups to students
- use of social media to let students familiarize better with the Faculty and researchers/research done
- integrate better into teaching how to plan an experiment
- critical assessment of goods and bads of remote teaching
Other discussions included e.g.
- cooperation between lecture and lab course teachers could be better
- workload imbalance between some courses
- necessity to have an exam as assessment on (some) courses
- use of English in teaching early on
- chemistry, Biomolecules and Biochemical Methods I lab courses order in freshmen timetable
- improvement of orientation studies for freshmen
Greetings and have a nice end of the study year,
Tuomo

Valmistumassa oleville biokemian opiskelijoille,
Biochemistry students soon to be graduated,
Koulutusrehtori Helka-Liisa Hentilä on kysynyt tiedekuntien halukkuutta tarjota omia avoimen yliopiston opintojaan vastavalmistuneiden suoritettavaksi vuoden kuluessa valmistumisesta ilmaiseksi. Kaikki tiedekunnat ovat tämän myös hyväksyneet. Käyttäkää tilaisuus hyväksi kehittämällä osaamistanne, jos työpaikkaa ei löydy heti valmistumisen hetkellä.
Students graduating now in the spring/summer are allowed to study University of Oulu open university courses without enrollment fee up to one year from graduation. Take this opportunity to expand your skills if the job is not found right away.
Greetings,
