Process of Researching

As we were about to begin our research, we separated ourselves into pairs where we focused on two seperate categories and created two subcategories for each,

the pairs were; Hemansha and I Alevels to University -A/L to abroad -A/L to local university Idusara and Semini Olevels to University -O/L to abroad -O/L to local university

Although all of us had agreed to use the same set of questions for both categories, to ensure there is reliability as well. Hemansha and I mainly focused people who were available readily at hand and also preferred to use participants who were not apart of AOD, so that it would be more generalizable.

the responses we received were different especially in terms of culture and syllabus, this is due to each individual's preference and personality.

the information to which i had received came from two classmates who had undergone the same London A/L process and had gone abroad (Australia, and New Zealand)

Australia

When u switched from als to Uni, what did you notice different in teachers? I noticed they didn't really care about students actually learning. Of course they are extremely strict when coming to meeting deadlines for assignments but hardly caring about how much students learn and if they understand the subject content. You just become a nameless face in a crowd of 50 to around 400 other students.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of the syllabus between uni and als? Advantages is university doesn't solely focus on a final exam, they structure their syllabus on a weekly basis, whereas A levels is dependent on 2 exams per subject which doesn't really help students in getting extra credit. Disadvantages would be that university syllabus is made in a way that you need to have prior knowledge or you'll easily fall behind whereas A levels goes more in depth for the foundation of each subject. How was the schl culture different to Uni culture? How did u grow accustomed to it and adapt (if u did) School has a sense of unity that university doesn't have, once you finish your lecture everyone is out the door while the lecturer is still talking whereas in school, everyone bounced off ideas with the lecturer and cleared their doubts. Best way to adapt is by making friends in your classes who you can talk about the syllabus and just general thoughts on that class.

What are some of the interesting shifts in class dynamics u see in Uni? Certain students will only interact with their own friends, it becomes difficult to approach people a week or 2 into classes because they stick to whoever they initially familiarised with again like I said there is no real sense of unity, its more of an individual task you finish and just head to your home, next lecture or meeting

New Zealand

When u switched from als to Uni, what did you notice different in teachers? All the HS teachers who said the uni teachers would care lied. They don't really mind most things like leaving to go to the bathroom or eating/drinking in class or even talking, as long as you don't disrupt the whole lesson. They're pretty informal and sometimes closer to students because of that (depends on class size) and most of them are a but more enthusiastic about lessons and teaching in general, possibly cause its semester 1 but idk. But actually the London A level teachers are pretty similar to uni lecturers, the real difference is from like middle/upper school to uni.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of the syllabus between uni and als? Honestly right now the content I'm studying is mostly the same as A levels for the subjects I have in common because I'm doing the core courses of my degree. It's a huge advantage that I'm familiar with it because lecturers don't actually teach this stuff much during class. You're expected to learn using the given materials and recordings at home and come prepared for class.

How was the schl culture different to Uni culture? How did u grow accustomed to it and adapt (if u did) Soo different omg. Particularly because I'm at uni in a different country as well, on top of going from a private, Christian, all-girls school. Uni is a lot more loose and relaxed like there's literally a bar on campus… that we're encouraged to go to?? It's a completely different atmosphere and it's weird not having your friends and the culture you grew up in. My suggestion and what's worked for me so far is literally just be nice and go to events a lot!!! And not just like clubbing (I didnt) or parties, tho you can do that, I mean like when clubs put on activities or are hosting launches at the start of the semester, go for them and talk to people. Making friends at uni is honestly not hard. That said, also don't worry if you miss one or two events u wanted to go for, I missed out on a whole bunch or skipped them (and subsequently, felt like i was missing out) but I've definitely still made friends. Figure out a schedule that works for you!! I organised my classes so I have a lot of free time to do the actual studying required and still have time to rest, socialize and cook. Try not to fall behind on little things like the quizes or weekly assessments, modules etc… if u do, be straight up with the lecturer and explain your situ and then get a concession! Cry! Like a lot! You're literally leaving everything you've ever known behind for a new environment, you're allowed to grieve. I cried so many times and probably will a lot more, but u have to get used to getting back up afterwards. U will definitely feel better after a good cry, some water and a nap.

What are some of the interesting shifts in class dynamics u see in Uni? Literally no one cares. Guaranteed. Do what you want just don't bother others. Most people are pretty nice and if not you can talk to people that are. But there's a lot of friends that you'll have ONLY in class, who u may stop being friends with the minute the sem is over or something. It happens, if u don't want it to, make an effort to be closer to those people before the sem ends. If they're interested yay! (Oh god group assignments with the dumbest reasons for grouping are a bit of a nightmare.)

Honestly still a lot of peeps make fun of that kid who literally jumped off a building after sitting for their add maths exam but that's honestly mood 24/7 after examinations.

2,7,27,35!

2. What do you regret having done or not done in your life?

Not pulling myself together and messing up my olevel result

7. What embarrasses you the most in front of other people?

Honestly im a walking embarrassment but usually when people stare at me i get really nervous cause i hate stares and then i end up doing something clumsy like tripping something over or just bump into something

27. What is your favourite childhood movie?

Charlie and the chocolate factory & wild child. Can’t decide between the 2 😂

35. What is the most favourite memory you have and why?

I guess opening up to 2 of my best friends (back in February) and telling them something very sacred which i thought I’d NEVER tell anyone because its weird and i hate feeling that way but I can’t stop it. They completely understood cause one of them kinda feels the same way and they were just really supportive which was expected. Also, I don’t share my feelings with anyone or stuff i go through so telling them something so personal was a huge step I believe

[tobios-milk]

thank u!!

probably gonna try eae for poly! if i dont pass eae then i'll go jc 🥴

Fisetin protects against cardiac cell death through reduction of ROS production and caspases activity.

PMID:  Sci Rep. 2020 Feb 19 ;10(1):2896. Epub 2020 Feb 19. PMID: 32076073 Abstract Title:  Fisetin protects against cardiac cell death through reduction of ROS production and caspases activity. Abstract:  Myocardial infarction (MI) is a leading cause of death worldwide. Reperfusion is considered as an optimal therapy following cardiac ischemia. However, the promotion of a rapid elevation of Olevels in ischemic cells produces high amounts of reactive oxygen species (ROS) leading to myocardial tissue injury. This phenomenon is called ischemia reperfusion injury (IRI). We aimed at identifying new and effective compounds to treat MI and minimize IRI. We previously studied heart regeneration following myocardial injury in zebrafish and described each step of the regeneration process, from the day of injury until complete recovery, in terms of transcriptional responses. Here, we mined the data and performed a deep in silico analysis to identify drugs highly likely to induce cardiac regeneration. Fisetin was identified as the top candidate. We validated its effects in an in vitro model of MI/IRI in mammalian cardiac cells. Fisetin enhances viability of rat cardiomyocytes following hypoxia/starvation - reoxygenation. It inhibits apoptosis, decreases ROS generation and caspase activation and protects from DNA damage. Interestingly, fisetin also activates genes involved in cell proliferation. Fisetin is thus a highly promising candidate drug with clinical potential to protect from ischemic damage following MI and to overcome IRI.
