Introduction: Not very often an integrated approach is applied in knowledge areas as Immune System, instead, the contents are usually a sort of "atomization" that prevents from having a holistic vision of the set as a whole. At the moment, our university students usually incorporate the Internet in their study work, similarly, the teachers can resort to this tool to "widen" the boundaries of the real classes. Perhaps, to achieve a deeper study level in this knowledge field, the use of NTIC may result an appropriate resource for complementing and supporting the current conventional techniques.

Objective: To create a communication space designed to deepen and up-date knowledge as well as to help the student construct a comprehensive, significant structure of knowledge by making interrelations with concepts previously acquired.

Material And Methods: Course supported in a digital platform Moodle like, in LEV, FCEF and N, UNC. http://routerlab.efn.uncor.edu/moodle Category: Natural Sciences. http://lev.efn.uncor.edu/course category.php)id=2 RESOURCES: Power Point files: "Immune System" and "Cytokines"; forum discussion: Contents selected and organized upon a constructivist approach aiming at a reflective student responsible for his own learning (self learning).

Results: The students according to their own concerns and time availability selected to deepen the knowledge field. The possibility to interact permanently in the discussion forum generated closer bonds between the participants, enriched the analysis about the different dealt issues, raised concerns that altogether brought about the rebuilding of the contents in a significant learning.

Conclusions: Bearing in mind that the educational contents are vital, it also has been proved that the use of NTIC provides of tools for the distance education courses and of useful resources for the teaching-learning sciences.

Background: Dosimetric commissioning and quality assurance (QA) for linear accelerators (LINACs) present a significant challenge for clinical physicists due to the high measurement workload and stringent precision standards. This challenge is exacerbated for radiosurgery LINACs because of increased measurement uncertainty and more demanding setup accuracy for small-field beams. Optimizing physicists' effort during beam measurements while ensuring the quality of the measured data is crucial for clinical efficiency and patient safety.

Purpose: Health education programmes play a crucial role in enhancing oral health literacy and improving treatment outcomes. However, myths and misconceptions about oral health are widespread, affecting individuals' behaviours and their willingness to seek appropriate treatment. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of oral health myths and misconceptions among adults in Taif, Saudi Arabia, and to explore potential associations with demographic factors.

Introduction: Environmental pollution and health issues are hot topics of discussion in modern society. However, there is a lack of research from the perspective of subjective factors such as environmental protection to study the impact of environmental literacy on health, especially in rural areas.

Methods: First, through field research in the mountainous rural areas of Sichuan Province, 396 data points were collected.

Objective: Sciatic nerve injuries often lead to severe pain and motor dysfunction, causing serious impact on patients' quality of life. Acupuncture, as one of the main therapies in traditional Chinese medicine, is gradually gaining attention in the field of nerve injury due to its potential role in pain relief and nerve repair. Bibliometric and scientific knowledge mapping methods were employed to analyze the current research status, hotspots, and development trends of acupuncture for sciatic nerve injury (SNI) over the past decade.

In order to promote the digital dissemination and preservation of Chinese intangible cultural heritage, this work constructs a digital platform for its transmission. The platform integrates a range of advanced technologies, including the Densely Connected Convolutional Networks - Bottleneck and Compression model, a notable convolutional neural network, along with natural language processing algorithms, generative adversarial network algorithms, and neural collaborative filtering algorithms. The platform is validated with 224,055 publicly archived valid data records, ensuring its effectiveness and reliability.
