English Language Challenges

About my experience learning English at university, it has been quite varied, when I first enter, the English was taught differently, with a focus more in technicalities, in order to be more useful for the  academic use, the idea was good, but the difference from when we learn it to when we use it, it made him feel a bit unnecessary, in addition the focus on more the academic field and technicalities, did not fix I think the biggest problem of the students nowadays, which is not knowing how to speak English fluently. Now with this system, which makes us constantly practice pronunciation, I feel we are progressing more, because it also takes the language learning to a more current, more real context. But we are still far from finishing the pending task regarding English

A system that I find interesting and effective is the use of blogs, firstly because it brings the learning of English to a more current context, with the use of more technologies, which facilitate the self-learning interests and the accessibility of those who are learning.

My english needs lot of improve, mainly the pronunciation and conjugation, are factors that always there, so frankly i think after university i definitely will take a extra english course.

Outside the English classroom, the common uses for what has been learned, go from the academic to the personal leisure. either having to read papers that ask for certain subjects or reading scientific articles, in order to prepare seminars or presentations. Until the use of English in my personal space, whether reading comics or manga only in English, as well as video games, mainly RPGs that are only available in English, as well as TV series or Netflix, the point is to try to expand the vocabulary and go day by day expanding a little more knowledge in English.

Changes to my study programme

My career among the years past, have changed, in what we call curricular innovation, specifically the year 2016, it started, after years of planning and evaluation. the idea of this change was bring a fresh air to the career and to update the current one, to more actual reality. Now looking to the future, even if it is a good education they give us, we are still far from international standards, or be a first world university.If I had to give a personal opinion concerning what things change, I would definitely start with Faculty facilities (buildings and infrastructure), it is not something unknown, that as infrastructure our faculty has always suffered, perhaps now it is not as much as previous years and the comforts today exist unlike what you tell the stories of previous years, but even so it is not possible that for the year that we are, we still do not have a library according to the number of students present, nor a cafeteria that can receive at least half of the students and we must use facilities of other faculties or eat at fresh air. In summer it is not the problem, but when the rains arrive, the little space becomes more visible than ever. About Workload, length of studies and Teaching methods, The first two topics are the most important and in part they are influenced by the 3, many professors of this faculty are very good scientists and have a knowledge that we are far from achieving, but in terms of teaching, it would not be wrong to take them to learn a little teaching methods and put a little in the position of us, we are not experts in their topics nor do we have all the time in the world for their academic branches. About the workload is well known, that expectations exceed the reality of each person, and there are times when one has to prioritize one branch over another or even prioritize loved ones to devote time to studies, it is important to Keep in mind, The extracurricular workload should be more realistic than it is today, because when the person passes a limit, the problems and diseases begin, especially we have a bad mental health awareness, and finally about the use of technology and The curriculum (the subjects you have to study), i think it's the more accurate change, that has been made with the curricular innovation, some classes they have become more interactive , with the use of applications like kahoot and the change made in the subjects of study, the order of they teach us, and the inclusion of new subjects as the removal of some obsolete themes. They have managed to position the curriculum, to a context more in line with these times, according to the demands of current work fields.

In my opinion...

What is your opinion about the Chilean politicians?

In my opinion, we have much to do, to be really proud of ourselves in relation to our way to communicate with politicians, It is often believed that politicians represent us, but in the last time we have seen they only monitor their own personal interests, leaving aside the common citizen who chose them and accepting that they exist only when it is convenient or when there is a next election

What is your opinion about violence on television?

Violence on television has always been a controversial issue, but if one thing is certain, it is that prohibition instead of education does not help at all, because in the end, those who are not able to understand the difference between the fictional and the Real, they will not be affected by punishment or prohibition measures, finally this double current standard is always present, where when it suits the TV channel, violence is punished, but when sales and ratings are excellent the subject is completely omitted .

What is your opinion about buying instead of adopting pets?

People have always been carried away by a new pet, for what reasons? because she is tender, friendly, es not bother, you do not take her out for a walk, etc. But as soon as it grows, all that magic that it had, disappears and that is where responsible pet ownership becomes important and that is where a lot of it fails and then we have abandoned pets in different parts. On the other hand, those who adopt, give a second chance to those poor animals, that what they give you most is gratitude, and fidelity. Like many things it is lack of education what is important and should teach them or at least consult future owners about responsible pet ownership.

What is your opinion about recycling?

in this country at least , recycling is in diapers, it's not something bad, but still people think that recycling is that easy, how to take everything he says recyclable and take it to a container that says recycling, educating is important as in many other topics, and encouraging people to recycle, it does not make sense to leave things to a recycling point in your community and that the managers do not care to go and pick them up either.

From cartoons, animes to TV series

To begin, between The cartoon, anime, or TV series, I would always choose over these anime, I had to choose a specific show, I could be thinking about it all day and maybe I would not get the answer, I'm not a full time fan, but if I take advantage of my free time, like going back to my house, (which took 1 hour and 30 minutes) but going back to the subject, if I had to choose a specific anime, maybe I would be hesitant between "Fullmetal Alchemist (the first one and Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood)" and "Neon Genesis Evangelion"

Why choose between so many possible these two, well I could be explaining why all day and it is not the idea to oversaturate the reader, when anime is well known, but in simple terms, this goes back to the time of my childhood,when I saw for the first time each series, each one of these animes even had new versions of its history, some more faithful to the manga, others more like a reimagination of how the story happens,The point is , the way they are made, the story they tell, the characters, the setting, and the animation, attracted me to the point that years later, I've seen them, at least 4 times each.

Tokyo Ghoul Manga 

About the role of manga and comics, I can say that I'm not a fan of them, but I do not dislike them, either because they are so extensive, the difficulty of finding complete stories, etc. But when I find a manga or comic that I really like, I finish it even if I have to read it in a language that does not understand anything. one that followed, that ended this year. it was tokyo ghoul, the interesting of its history and its characters caught me and I read it weekly, for at least 4 years. And one that until recently attracted my attention with his story after I saw the anime, is nanatsu no taizai known in the West as "The Seven Deadly Sins" the best part of this manga, can be summarized in a character called Escanor, I will not go into details to save spoilers

Escanor from "The Seven Deadly Sins "

Unfortunately due to time and work issues, I did not watch much television with my parents, it was more what I could see with my sister what I enjoyed. If I could mention a specific show it would be impossible not to mention "pokemon" and I do not think it necessary to explain why. cartoons, comics, animes and/or mangas are good conversation topics for me and my friends , either the anime of the moment or a recommendation of a manga or anime likewise, even up to a series of netflix, the platform that I use the most to see all this lately, because of the ability to download and see it later in the idea at home, It is a topic that we usually have with my friends and that is also why we often remember one or the other, and when we come together we remember good moments of our childhood. In general all these things, are a good distraction and relaxation of the daily routine, that for a moment you forget your worries and stress, letting the mind fly and delve into the stories that are presented to you.

Post graduate studies

“”For graduates in chemistry and pharmacy, interested in updating their knowledge or starting in the area of clinical pharmacy and pharmaceutical care, analysis of theoretical clinical cases, pharmacotherapeutic and formulation of projects in health oriented to the prevention, detection and resolution of problems related to medicines in different types of patients, in order to optimize the achievement of therapeutic objectives.  Also, this diploma is aimed at those who wish to obtain the Specialty in Clinical Pharmacy.”” 

brochure summary: diplomado en farmacia clinica 2018

 If I had to choose at this time, which diploma to study, of what is available, I would probably be very interested in the "Diploma in Clinical Pharmacy" Place of realization: "Facultad de Ciencias Químicas y Farmacéuticas de la Universidad de Chile", why this subject of study, because within my interests, this diploma is accommodated within what I would like as a pharmacist to be practicing in the future, It also allows me to expand my knowledge, to be aware of new treatments for patients, and if it is to my liking, and I have the theoretical, practical and monetary capabilities, continue with the Specialty in Pharmacy Clinic, Within the themes, which take place, within the diploma, one especially attracted my attention, "Neurology and Psychiatry" at this moment I lack more information, but I would like to learn more about each subject, within the diploma course, to be sure of making the right decision, since money and time are not left over today, and referring to the method of study, as much as I would like to say, studying from the comfort of my house, in this case it is not allowed, because apart from theoretical classes, in occasions one will have to go to the clinical field and that can not be reproduced by a virtual means.

Finally, in the realization of this work, I realized how little they know, students of more advanced semesters, the possible paths that your university career can take, and the ability to access this type of information is relevant. find easily on the internet and in the specialized events that take place in the faculty where we study

Your New Job

    Talking about an ideal job, i think i don't have one yet, but if i have to choose probably it be something related about human psychology or maybe chef, even writer, if i can combine all of this it will perfect, coming back to reality, if we talk about the career that I'm studying, an ideal job would be to be in clinical pharmacy, It is not a well-known area in this country and it's very difficult,
however i think, if i have the courage and the capacity, maybe i will make it true, this area give you a more real approach to the interactions that have a patient with a drug, with all the diseases that this patient brings with himself.

If I achieve this goal, I would like to travel around the world, learning about new medicines and treatments, about the different types of people that inhabit this world, unfortunately this must be done inside, for obvious reasons, but it is not something that discourages me, the point is to leave this country, learn new things and then formed a broad knowledge to bring them back and teach new generations, about the salary, I have never imported much absurd or high amounts of money, while I have to live a quiet life and help my relatives who need it, I give for paid.I obviously, if I travel the world, I took advantage of knowing beautiful places.

for example Switzerland is one of those countries, which not only stand out for their beautiful landscapes, but also because they are pioneers in the pharmaceutical industry

Pharmaceutical Nanotechnology

"Nanotechnology: Technology that is dedicated to the design and manipulation of matter at the level of atoms or molecules, for industrial or medical purposes, among others."

The importance of pharmaceutical nanotechnology for drug therapy lies in the
possibility of supplying both low molecular weight drugs as well as macromolecules
as the peptides, proteins and genes, in a localized or directed way, towards a certain tissue of interest.Pharmaceutical nanotechnology is focused on the development of formulations of therapeutic agents as biocompatible nano-complexes, including among others, nanoparticles, nano-capsules, micellar systems, dendrimers, fullerenes or carbon nanostructures, quantum dots, nano-components derived from bioimitation or biomimetics and their conjugated derivatives. These systems could be used to give direction to drug delivery on the way to a specific type of cells or tissue. They could be also used to improve the oral bioavilability, to sustain the effect of drugs or genes in a selected tissue. Although there might be some safety concerns with respect to the in vivo use of nanoparticles, studies are in place to determine the nature and extent of adverse events. It is considered necessary the increase of the regulations in order to assure the safety of nanoparticles. The lack of evidence about the risk of nanomaterials fabrication produces great uncertainty. It is considered that the toxicity, epidemiology, persistence and biocumulation of fabricated nano-materials are so far to be studied.

In spite of this, future prospects for the Applications of nanopharmacy would include the discovery of new agents Pharmaceuticals, the development of drug delivery systems with localization or specific addressing; besides the creation of "laboratories on a chip" that perform multiple functions in vitro and in vivo as well as implants and platforms for tissues. I chose this topic, because of the importance that I feel will have a future in my career and not only for the lives that could be improved thanks to this, but also for the interesting thing that is and the advances that can lead to generate not only in this area, also for example in the purification of waters in the future, On the other hand I knew about the subject in a superficial way but today I had the possibility of getting into this wonderful subject and I would like to continue learning from the future.
