Abstract

The Chemistry Department constantly works to enhance students' safety awareness through courses, seminars, and symposiums. One of the most critical safety topics is fire safety guidelines. A questionnaire was prepared to assess the students' understanding of fires, and 127 undergraduate and postgraduate students in the Chemistry Department participated.  The questions were prepared and focused on essential topics within the topic of the fire, through which the extent of students' knowledge of the research topic can be accurately determined. The Chemistry Department needs to make more efforts to enhance the safety culture, even though the students' answers can be considered valuable information. The students' suggestions came mainly from their need for more practical practices, firefighting activities, and the implementation of evacuation plans.

Abstract

Forensic science plays a crucial role in the criminal justice system by providing essential evidence and aiding the resolution of crimes. One significant aspect of forensic science is functionalizing pharmacology, which involves the analysis of drugs and their metabolites in biological samples to ascertain their origins and potential effects. It is imperative for future healthcare professionals, particularly pharmacy students, to gain a comprehensive understanding of the functionalization of pharmacology in forensic science. However, there is a paucity of research on pharmacy students' current knowledge and comprehension in this specific domain. Hence, the present study aimed to utilize a questionnaire-based approach to explore pharmacy students' understanding of functionalizing pharmacology in forensic science. The primary objective of this investigation was to identify strengths and weaknesses within this cohort's knowledge base, ultimately offering recommendations for enhancing pharmacy education in this field.

Abstract

Forensic chemistry is a rapidly growing sub discipline of forensic science that plays an essential role in criminal investigations through the examination and analysis of physical evidence, including drugs, explosives, and toxic compounds. Despite increasing demand for forensic chemists in the job market, awareness and knowledge of forensic chemistry among university students particularly undergraduate students in chemistry and biotechnology remain insufficiently explored. This study employed a validated questionnaire to investigate the level of awareness, knowledge, attitudes, and perceptions of 20 undergraduate students at Al-Nahrain University, Iraq, regarding forensic chemistry, DNA analysis, and biotechnology. The results indicated that the majority of participants demonstrated a satisfactory level of awareness: 80% were aware of forensic science, 82% recognized the connection between DNA analysis and forensic science, 84% understood the relationship between DNA and biotechnology, and 91% appreciated the importance of DNA evidence in crime scene investigations. Additionally, 79% expressed interest in pursuing future studies in forensic science. The findings underscore significant educational implications for forensic chemistry curricula, career development pathways, and the broader enhancement of scientific literacy regarding forensic science among university students.
