is to understand the origin of UV-C persistent luminescence, so that it can be enhanced via introduction of defects and employed for practical applications. The results, which will be published as at least 6 scientific articles, will provide guidelines for optimal chemical composition and synthesis conditions of an efficient UV-C phosphor material. Involvement of students who will elaborate their thesis during the project implementation is planned. Professional development of the team implementing the project will be provided, opening new opportunities in future project calls and increasing the competitiveness of Latvian scientists in the world. Project progress 01.2022.–12.2023. The UV persistent luminescence of Ce 3+ doped Sr 3 MgSi 2 O 8 material is reported for the first time. In-depth analysis of optical, thermal and electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy experiments is used to reveal origin of the luminescence and nature of the traps. Structural and optical properties of the Ca 2

Pharmacognosy is sub-branch of pharmacy that studies plant and animal kingdom medicinal products, clarifies their pharmacological action, biochemical pathways as well as manufacturing of natural products and other fitopreparations. The goal of the course is to give knowledge about plants and animal products nowadays used in the pharmacy. The task of the course is to introduce with specific quality control assays, preparation of plant and animal raw material, storage terms, as well as to give knowledge about evidence-based pharmacological action of plant and animal derived drugs. During the course, the student gets knowledge of the use of scientific literature, the latest studies on the activity of active substances of plant and animal origin, the use of medicinal products. The language of instruction is Latvian.

The overall goal of the course is to introduce students to the contemporary critical evidence-based discussions that surround psychedelic substance engagement. Course task is to address harm reduction policy perspectives in the context of social problems, such as depression and addiction. Another task of the course is to explore the major categories of psychedelic substances through sociological analysis. Critical thinking about psychedelic cultures and the current and potential roles that psychedelics play in society are included, placing an emphasis on cross-culture perspectives. Key sociological theories are used to explain and analyse various forms of psychedelic substance engagement. The understanding of psychedelic substance role through interdisciplinary social analysis is related to sociology, anthropology, history, social policy and philosophy.
