[[Bioinformatics]] — the use of computers in biology — is of major and increasing importance to biological sciences and medicine. We conducted a preliminary investigation of the value of bringing practical, university-level bioinformatics education to the school level. We conducted voluntary activities for pupils at two schools in Scotland (years S5 and S6; pupils aged 15–17). We used material originally developed for an optional final-year undergraduate module and now incorporated into 4273''π'', a resource for teaching and learning bioinformatics on the low-cost Raspberry Pi computer.

Pupils’ feedback forms suggested our activities were beneficial. During the course of the activity, they provide strong evidence of increase in the following: pupils’ perception of the value of computers within biology; their knowledge of the Linux operating system and the Raspberry Pi; their willingness to use computers rather than phones or tablets; their ability to program a computer and their ability to analyse DNA sequences with a computer. We found no strong evidence of negative effects.

"Sigma metrics as a valuable tool for effective analytical performance and quality control planning in the clinical laboratory: A retrospective study"

For the release of precise and accurate reports of routine tests, its necessary to follow a proper quality management system (QMS) in the clinical laboratory. As one of the most popular QMS tools for process improvement, Six Sigma techniques and tools have been accepted widely in the laboratory testing process. Six Sigma gives an objective assessment of analytical methods and instrumentation, measuring the outcome of a process on a scale of 0 to 6. Poor outcomes are measured in terms of defects per million opportunities (DPMO). To do the performance assessment of each clinical laboratory analyte by Six Sigma analysis and to plan and chart out a better, customized quality control (QC) plan for each analyte, according to its own sigma value ...
