The approach to training and skills acquisition, with its flexible and diverse learning methods, may also fit in well with modern continuing professional development needs of clinicians.
It has been postulated that Leishmania cells are equipped with diverse Fe acquisition mechanisms and are capable of utilizing various Fe sources, suggesting that Fe acquisition is essential for pathogenicity and that Fe deprivation could be an effective strategy for controlling leishmanial infections [ 82].
To achieve this, diverse data acquisition systems are grouped into a classification system on the basis of the degree of accuracy required; depending on the degree of resolution, the data collected is then merged chronologically in a standardized coordinate system according to time.
Genome analysis also revealed a wide array of traits that may allow these strains to be successful rhizosphere colonizers, including surface polysaccharides, uptake transporters and catabolic enzymes for nutrients, diverse iron-acquisition systems, cell wall-degrading enzymes, type I and IV pili, and novel T1SS and T5SS secreted adhesins.
Our experimental protocol, therefore, opens up a new approach to exploring the neurocognitive mechanisms and the role of awareness in the learning of sequential associations, which is of relevance to understanding cognitive faculties and behaviours as diverse as language acquisition, music, object knowledge formation, and motor learning.
Training activities are very diverse, ranging from acquisition of the basic elements of job qualification (one or several months), to understanding and mastering new concepts or specific skills (5 days) and to information delivery (1-day advocacy).
