THTR451-User Interaction Techniques in Design
Technology, science and capacity building are major pillars of the Means of Implementation of the Post-2015 Agenda and of the Rio+20 follow-up processes. In this unit students will Harness the digital age, as we are, after all, in the midst of the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR), a global era characterized by rapid advancements in new technologies and global connectivity. Artificial Intelligence (AI) now forms part of our everyday lives – optimizing and customizing what we see, choose and learn. Ubiquitous sensors are collecting more data than ever before, with connected devices simplifying our lives.
Autonomous vehicles, drone delivery and, soon, drone transport are set to transform global mobility. Even immersive reality guided surgeries, 3D printing of body parts and affordable biohacking are here or on their way. With ready access to powerful computing and breakthroughs in AI techniques, computers can now mimic how people learn, see, hear and understand, making today’s digital age also an age of unprecedented discovery and innovation.
Technology is not a silver bullet, but it holds the incredible potential to transform sectors rapidly and globally: to increase the productivity of systems.

UN Translation- TRN302 Spring 2021 (TR302o)
The course is concerned with introducing the basic facts related to the UN discourse and terminology. Students are introduced to different types of UN documents so as to be fully aware of the lexical and syntactic problems of translating UN documents, and methods of solving such problems, like for instance UN documents related to quality education. Students are also acquainted with the web sources from which they may solve problems related to UN terminology.
Vaccination and Immunotherapy
The aims of the course are to develop greater understanding about the
recent vaccination methods against infectious diseases, as well as to highlight
their importance in saving life. The course also interprets why effective
vaccines are not yet available for some serious infectious diseases. Besides,
the course aims to gain deep information about the current and in progress
immunotherapeutic strategies for treating cancer and immunological disorders.
