Struggling with digitized historical newspapers: Contextual barriers to information interaction in history research activities

In the course of research activities in the field of new technologies of information interaction of on-board equipment of objects of rocket-space and aviation equipment, as well as study of protection of information against leakage through technical channels, there was a hypothesis, about stealth of radio channel formed by means of new and promising developing technologies. The article discusses the use of radio wave interference control technologies (on adaptive formation of the sum of the signal phases) for beam formation. The features of the MU-MIMO and OFDMA technologies, which allows several simultaneous outgoing streams (downlink, uplink), providing simultaneous servicing of several devices at once, which increases the performance of the network as a whole, are considered. The implementation of the secrecy of the operation of the radio channel based on the considered technology for potential unauthorized detection of the operation of the radio channel and access to the transmitted information outside the beam pointing points is considered. Based on the description of the technology and on-site experiments, conclusions are drawn and recommendations are formulated on the methodology for detecting unauthorized data transfer implemented on the basis of the technology considered.

The problem and the aim of the study. New challenges and requirements of society and the state to the e-education system necessitate the formation of students' skills for active information interaction and cognitive activity in the digital space. The authors propose to use cloud services for organizing the educational process, e-learning participants integration and communication, expanding didactic tools and improving the quality of graduate training in the electronic educational environment. Research methods. The main methods are theoretical and methodological analysis and generalization of fundamental scientific works on the research problem, processing of the results of control events and the content of the Google Classroom cloud service (assigned tasks, announcements, instructions, links to additional resources). The pedagogical experiment involved 52 students (35% of girls and 65% of boys) from the Law Institute of Vyatka State University. The G sign criterion is used as a statistical processing method. Results. The features of the organization of e-learning in a digital school have been formulated to enhance information interaction based on the use of cloud technologies through the Google Classroom service: the integration of students and teachers into a single information and educational space, expanding the possibilities of learning and communication; "synchronization" of educational and cognitive activities in different digital resources; the orientation of the service content to the peculiarities of the modern student’s perception, the ability to work in the format of mobile applications activates cognitive interest, research activities and communication practice are supported. The empirical value Gemp=3<Gcr=10 (for p=0.01) obtained during the experiment confirms that the shift towards improving the quality of educational results after using the Google Classroom cloud service is not accidental. Conclusion. The use of cloud services in organizing information interaction in the e-learning system will improve the quality of educational results while providing a set of conditions: enhancing cognition, connecting students to information interaction in new ways, expanding the boundaries of the educational environment, modifying the roles of participants in the didactic process, and using mobile applications.

Dimensional Reconstruction

Structurally-oriented biologists examine cells, tissues, organelles and macromolecules in order to gain insight into cellular and molecular physiology by relating structure to function. The understanding of these structures can be greatly enhanced by the use of techniques for the visualization and quantitative analysis of three-dimensional structure. Three projects from current research activities will be presented in order to illustrate both the present capabilities of computer aided techniques as well as their limitations and future possibilities.The first project concerns the three-dimensional reconstruction of the neuritic plaques found in the brains of patients with Alzheimer's disease. We have developed a software package “Synu” for investigation of 3D data sets which has been used in conjunction with laser confocal light microscopy to study the structure of the neuritic plaque. Tissue sections of autopsy samples from patients with Alzheimer's disease were double-labeled for tau, a cytoskeletal marker for abnormal neurites, and synaptophysin, a marker of presynaptic terminals.

Ethnogeriatrics is an evolving specialty in geriatric care that focuses on the health and aging issues in the context of culture for older adults from diverse ethnic backgrounds. This article is an introduction to ethnogeriatrics for healthcare professionals including speech-language pathologists (SLPs). This article focuses on significant factors that contributed to the development of ethnogeriatrics, definitions of some key concepts in ethnogeriatrics, introduces cohort analysis as a teaching and clinical tool, and presents applications for speech-language pathology with recommendations for use of cohort analysis in practice, teaching, and research activities.

Degree Of Association

Abstract. The introduction of the Implicit Association Test (IAT; Greenwald, McGhee, & Schwartz, 1998 ) has stimulated numerous research activities. The IAT is supposed to measure the degree of association between concepts. Instances have to be assigned to these concepts by pressing appropriate keys as quickly as possible. The reaction time difference between certain conditions, termed the IAT effect, is used as an indicator of the degree of the concepts’ association. We tested the hypothesis that the degree of association between one concept (or category) and the instances of the other presented concept also influences reaction times. In our experiment, the instances in the target categories, male and female names, were kept constant. The adjectives in the evaluative categories were manipulated: Either the pleasant adjectives were female-associated and the unpleasant adjectives were male-associated, or vice versa. These stereotypic associations were indeed found to exert a substantial influence on the size of the IAT effect. This finding casts doubt on the assumption that the IAT effect may be interpreted as a pure measure of the degree of association between concepts.

Abstract. The Flensburg health psychology group takes a salutogenic perspective and aims at developing innovative health promotion approaches. It stands in the interdisciplinary context of health and educational sciences. Our focus in research is on both, stress processes and lay representations of health and illness in the context of salutogenic theories of health. Basic and applied research activities aim at developing subject-oriented approaches of prevention and health promotion that are designed to promote health resources and competencies in selected settings and target groups. Current research is concentrated on socially disadvantaged groups, on occupational groups and on men to develop tailored health promotion approaches that reach groups in need and which show sustainable effects.
