This essay introduces two new concepts into the international debate about the theory and practice of creative industries. These concepts are ‘creative modernity’ and the ‘new cultural state’. The new cultural state has a double meaning. It refers to the new cultural condition we find ourselves in, what we call here creative modernity, and the form in which the modern state has governed, or intervened in, culture through law and other means of governance or regulation. In this process, the modern state — as it did in the United Kingdom for a while — sometimes becomes a part of the ‘cultural’ sphere through the project of creative modernity. As we see here in a rethinking of the case of the Department of Culture, Media and Sport in the British New Labour government, an experiment which is often cited approvingly in the creative industries debates around the world, creative modernity involves the social engineering of a ‘new individualism’ where citizens are remade as creative entrepreneurs. In this essay, it is argued that to move the arguments forward, the debate about creative industries should be re-situated within the wider framework of cosmopolitan sociology's analyses of modernity, the state and culture.

During the last years we have been facing a growing need of involving architects into processes of modern city medialization. Transposing contemporary media logic into architecture must be accompanied by qualitative answers within architectural theory and practice. The field of media facade is interdisciplinary - not only does it involve research within architecture and urbanism, but also within some border areas of technology, urban design, art, culture, media and marketing. Media facade design process involves analyses of some specific design aspects.

The purpose of the article is to substantiate the need for the development of the information culture of museum specialists as an independent area of personnel training in the context of the digital transformation of society. As a research methodology, a set of complementary approaches was used: systemic, allowing to ensure the integrity of museologists' ideas about the phenomenon of information culture; technological and activity, revealing the possibilities of using information and communication technologies in various types of museum activities; culturological, allowing to give a holistic view of modern culture as a unity of its spiritual, social and technological sides. As a result of the study, the authors of the article proved the need to form a special facet of the culture of modern museum specialists - the information culture of a museologist. The definition of the notion "information culture of a museologist" has been developed, where a special place is occupied by the information worldview of a museologist. It acts as the basis for the development of professional self-awareness for the purpose of personal professional self-development and continuous improvement of the level of professional qualifications. The structure of the training course "Information culture of a museologist" is proposed. The purpose of which is the formation of a systematic understanding of the digitalization of culture and the digital transformation of information resources in museology, protection of objects of cultural and natural heritage and related subject areas; mastering the algorithms for searching for information in the electronic information environment, mastering the methods of analytical-synthetic processing and critical analysis of information in the structure of the professional activity of a museologist, mastering the technology for creating information products in the context of digital transformation of the culture industry in accordance with the tasks of educational and professionally oriented research work. The thesis is argued that in the professional training of museologists, a harmonious unity of intellectual and technological principles should be observed on the priorities and values of culture. It is concluded that the differences between the ideas of the formation of the information culture of a personality, the information culture of a museologist and the idea of integration of media and information literacy promoted by UNESCO, developed in Russia, are not of a fundamental nature. They only reflect the desire of Russian scientists and practitioners to combine the advantages of international theory and practice with the traditions of national culture and education, the accumulated experience of Russian museums and educational institutions. Scientific novelty consists, firstly, in the theoretical understanding of the danger of the digitalization of museums becoming a purely technical and technological process and the loss of the educational and educational function of the museum; secondly, in adapting the concept of the formation of an individual's information culture to the tasks of information training for museologists.

Based on the analysis of the theory and practice of modern digital transformation, approaches and the concept of the content of an advanced training course in information culture (in modern conditions - digital culture) are offered for students of economic specialties. The place and role of the general culture and information culture, as its component, in the modern digital economy are determined and the conceptual structure of the training course on information culture for economic specialties is proposed, taking into account the features of the digital economy and new opportunities to improve the efficiency of the use of information systems and the formation of information resources.Unlike existing courses, when digital culture is understood as “creating an environment in which managers recognize the important role of technology for business, ensure the availability of information and train employees for the most comfortable and efficient use of technological tools”, the article substantiates the need to understand the natural harmony of complex self-organization information systems.In relation to economic specialties, the essence of the proposed concept of the training course is in-depth Understanding by students of the essence of modern information (digital) culture as an institution of creating conditions for economic agents to use the capabilities of modern information (digital) ecosystems for the effective interaction of individuals and enterprises and their accelerated adaptation to technological innovations.Based on the concept, the structure of the course is proposed, which includes four blocks of topics studied: the nature and role of culture in the economy; digital transformation and digital economy; the basics of website content generation and data visualization; approaches to assessing the effectiveness of information and digital culture.

The ultrastructure of cells suspended in physiological fluids or cell culture media can only be studied if the living processes are stopped while the cells remain in suspension. Attachment of living cells to carrier surfaces to facilitate further processing for electron microscopy produces a rapid reorganization of cell structure eradicating most traces of the structures present when the cells were in suspension. The structure of cells in suspension can be immobilized by either chemical fixation or, much faster, by rapid freezing (cryo-immobilization). The fixation speed is particularly important in studies of cell surface reorganization over time. High pressure freezing provides conditions where specimens up to 500μm thick can be frozen in milliseconds without ice crystal damage. This volume is sufficient for cells to remain in suspension until frozen. However, special procedures are needed to assure that the unattached cells are not lost during subsequent processing for LVSEM or HVEM using freeze-substitution or freeze drying. We recently developed such a procedure.

A mouse monoclonal antibody produced from collagenase digests of human amnion was used by LM and TEM to study the distribution and ultrastructural features of an antigen present in epithelial tissues and in cultured human keratinocytes, and by immunoaffinity chromatography to partially purify the antigen from keratinocyte cell culture media.By immunofluorescence microscopy, the antigen displays a tissue distribution similar to type VII collagen; positive staining of the epithelial basement membrane is seen in skin, oral mucosa, trachea, esophagus, cornea, amnion and lung. Images from rotary shadowed preparations isolated by affinity chromatography demonstrate a population of rod-like molecules 107 nm in length, having pronounced globular domains at each end. Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis suggests that the size of this molecule is approximately 440kDa, and that it is composed of three nonidentical chains disulfide bonded together.

Before And After

For research in cell differentiation and in vitro toxicology it is essential to provide a natural state of cell structure as a benchmark for interpreting results. Hypothermosol (Cryomedical Sciences, Rockville, MD) has proven useful in insuring the viability of synthetic human epidermis during cold-storage and in maintaining the epidermis’ ability to continue to differentiate following warming.Human epidermal equivalent, EpiDerm (MatTek Corporation, Ashland, MA) consisting of fully differentiated stratified human epidermal cells were grown on a microporous membrane. EpiDerm samples were fixed before and after cold-storage (4°C) for 5 days in Hypothermosol or skin culture media (MatTek Corporation) and allowed to recover for 7 days at 37°C. EpiDerm samples were fixed 1 hour in 2.5% glutaraldehyde in sodium cacodylate buffer (pH 7.2). A secondary fixation with 0.2% ruthenium tetroxide (Polysciences, Inc., Warrington, PA) in sodium cacodylate was carried out for 3 hours at 4°C. Other samples were similarly fixed, but with 1% Osmium tetroxide in place of ruthenium tetroxide. Samples were dehydrated through a graded acetone series, infiltrated with Spurrs resin (Polysciences Inc.) and polymerized at 70°C.
