<p><em>This article deals with processes of change in quality of higher education in Lithuania, focusing on the aspect of organisational learning of the academic community. It is maintained that organizational learning empowers teachers of higher educational institutions  to pursue common aims, develop their competencies at individual and collective levels, adapt to the constantly changing environment and accumulate new knowledge, reflecting on their activities. These processes and their implementation are determined by modern management of the higher educational institution, promoting every member of the academic community (teacher) to become a member of the learning organisation individually and in a team. Collective knowledge created in such manner undoubtedly makes impact on quality of higher education.</em></p><p> </p><p> </p>

Intellectual Assets

Knowledge Management (KM) is an interlinked business process that captures and provides access to a collective knowledge of an organization. KM is an audit of "intellectual assets" that highlights unique sources, critical functions and potential bottlenecks, which hinder knowledge flows to the points of use. It protects intellectual assets from decay; seek opportunities to enhance quality of decisions, services and products by adding intelligence, value and providing flexibility. Knowledge management complements and establishes organizational initiatives like Total Quality Management (TQM), Business Process Re-engineering (BPR) and organizational learning by providing a new and urgent focus to sustain competitive position.

Knowledge State

Nowadays, it happens very often that in order to make a decision we rely on knowledge originating from different and autonomous sources, i.e. from experts or the Internet. For many problems we often ask for an opinion of not one but a group of sources (a collective). It may be due to the fact that we collect very large amount of information which might be inconsistent unfortunately. The process of appointing the knowledge state of a collective (final and consistent opinions) is often very complex and time-consuming. Therefore, we want to know if it is possible to determine a common and reliable opinion of a collective only by analyzing given knowledge of a collective. For this task the consensus theory is applied. This work is devoted to analyses of a susceptibility to a consensus for a few types of representations of experts' opinions (knowledge of a collective) such as a number, a binary vector, ordered partitions or ordered coverings.

Collaborative Knowledge Construction

Group discussions are critical for students constructing new understanding and knowledge in both classroom and distance education. Tagclouds can provide an intuitive overview about the group’s collective knowledge and could potentially be used as an anchor for group discussions. The effect of using tagclouds as anchors for group discussions was examined. Thirty-two pre-service teachers were randomly assigned into six groups, and they blogged for five weeks. At the end of the blogging activity, three groups were randomly selected to participate in tagcloud-anchored discussions. Evidence of knowledge construction was collected from participants’ concept maps, individual blog tags and group tagclouds. The result indicates tagcloud-anchored group discussions facilitated and enhanced the quality of knowledge construction as exhibited in their concept maps.

A growth model for Latvia is presented. The main resource for growth is the knowledge and wisdom of Latvia's inhabitants, and the ability of each individual to make use of this resource. Raising the quality of life in every aspect for each individual is the main goal of growth. The collective knowledge of the people must be used to achieve this. In achieving this goal we must make use of coordinated and balanced development of each aspect of life, taking into account the unity of activities and the expansion these activities beyond frameworks of individual sectors, institutions, formal state structures and across borders. The model has been approved by Saeima (Parliament) in 2005. Several activities have been started to implement the model.

Definition Of

During the past investigations of immunoferritin localization of intracellular antigens in ultrathin frozen sections, we found that the degree of negative staining required to delineate u1trastructural details was often too dense for the recognition of ferritin particles. The quality of positive staining of ultrathin frozen sections, on the other hand, has generally been far inferior to that attainable in conventional plastic embedded sections, particularly in the definition of membranes. As we discussed before, a main cause of this difficulty seemed to be the vulnerability of frozen sections to the damaging effects of air-water surface tension at the time of drying of the sections.Indeed, we found that the quality of positive staining is greatly improved when positively stained frozen sections are protected against the effects of surface tension by embedding them in thin layers of mechanically stable materials at the time of drying (unpublished).
