This allows discussing the environmental policy as a very broad topic and make students aware of the comprehensiveness of the issue. The project component of the course is shaped in a way allowing the students to discuss the issue in environmental policy that is of special interest to them. During the subsequent meetings the students are required to define the policy issue in relation to their selected topic, define the research question and discuss the findings.

Department of Pharmaceutical Technology and Biochemistry

Responsible Andrzej Składanowski, PhD Curriculum This course gives a comprehensive introduction to the most significant problems related to biotechnology in environmental monitoring and protection. In particular, it includes : Introduction to molecular and cellular biology Biological methods in the analysis and monitoring of environmental pollutants- biosensors Biotechnological methods in health risk assessment Standard methods detecting genotoxic factors Application of cell cultures and genetically modified organisms in the assessment of genotoxic risk New era of toxicology - toxicogenomics Bioremediation of environmental pollutants in water and soil with the use of microorganisms Bioremediation with the use of plants

Students will be also asked to prepare short oral presentations on topics given by the instructor or proposed by students. After the presentation, the instructor will prompt the audience to ask questions and give comments to presenters. The instructor will also evaluate the presentations, based on meritoriuos content graphical form of presentations the way presenters are able to respond to questions and comments. Student presentations Biology of genetically modified crops Types of genes introduced into crop plants Methods for detection of GMO in food Horizontal gene transfer: special case with Bt toxin and herbicide resistance Ecologyof genetically-modified crops: impact on non-target organisms and ecosystems, production of 'super weeds' GM food: possible impact on human health, implications for nutritional value of food, biodiversity Legal aspects of GM food production Biomonitoring Possible applications of fluorescence microscopy in biomonitoring DNA and RNA isolation protocols: application of real-time PCR in biomonitoring Immunomagnetic separation for concentration and detection of bacteria, spores, viruses and toxins Luminescence as a tool for determination and identification of environmental pollutants

Subject Name Diploma seminar Code Epm40.7


Department of Analytical Chemistry Responsible Waldemar Wardencki, PhD, DSc

Curriculum The course is organized in the form of a seminar and aims at providing practical

knowledge how to prepare a diploma thesis and present clearly and concisely the result of the scientific work.

All research topics selected should address main problems of environmental

protection and management in the context of reduction of industrial emissions, waste flows, energy use, and usage of materials within in-company procedure and beyond the level of single organizations by means of organization and management tools.

The details of the program is defined and carried out under supervision of the

graduation professor and research tutors. The work on the thesis may require an internship in company or an institute outside the university.

Objectives of the course: 1. Gain the ability to formulate a scientific problem in the fields of

organization and systems theory, transition and learning processes; business management systems, public policy management and stakeholder theory in the context of Environmental Protection and Management;

2. Learn to present it in the adequate form (two essays) using appropriate sources of scientific information (books, journals, proceedings of conferences, patents, norms, internet web and etc.) and established rules of their citation.

3. Develop presentation and argumenting skills for the scientific thesis and learn to defend it against opposite arguments.
