Due to the changes in society and the new era of “super-diversity” (Vertovec, 2007) in European countries, intercultural competence is gaining importance both in everyday life situations and teacher training. In the academic year of 2014/2105, a research was conducted on a sample of 136 prospective secondary school teachers undergoing their pedagogical-didactical-methodological training in different universities in the Republic of Croatia. The tool that was employed in the self-assessment of intercultural competence was called Recognising intercultural competence: What shows that I am interculturally competent? The results showed that the examinees perceive their intercultural competence quite high; attitudes (M = 4,09); skills (M = 4,12); knowledge (M = 4,02). There is no significant difference between the perceived dimensions (p = ,282). Further research is recommended to better understand the insights about the examinees’ understanding of intercultural competence.

The “double reduction” policy and ideological and political education are highly compatible. The implementation of the “double reduction” policy needs the support of ideological and political education, and it is also an important background, precious subject matter and vivid example for ideological and political education in the new era. The combination of the two is aimed at primary and secondary school students, their parents, primary and secondary school educators, and other members of society. It focuses on the concepts of learning, education, career, and labor. On the basis of understanding “why the two can be combined”, this paper grasps “for whom to combine” and keeps exploring “how to combine”, so that the two can promote and complement each other.

Original Theme

The article presents an analysis of one of the most interesting orchestral compositions intended to familiarize listeners of symphonic concerts with instruments – compositions by Benjamin Britten “Guide to the orchestra. Variations on Purcell’s theme” The composer created his opus in such a way that it could be played in educational programs. At the same time, the composition has a great artistic value. This allows us to consider it in purely musical and pedagogical aspects. The problems of the variation cycle as a dynamically developing flow of diverse images are determined by intonation segments emanating from the theme borrowed from Henry Purcell, in which the initial idea of the master of the XVII century is deeply rethought. The pedagogical task is connected with the demonstration of the timbres of all instruments in solo, ensemble, orchestral sounds, expressing different semantic facets of the original theme, transformed in the process of development into its own antipode. B. Britten found an organic solution to the problems. The article outlines the options for the use of this work in music lessons in secondary school and in the system of additional musical education in the study of instruments of the Symphony orchestra. For this purpose, the comparative characteristics of the performance of the “Guide” by major conductors of different generations are involved, including the interpretation of the composition by the author of the music, which can be assessed a reference. The characteristic of the film for which the music and contemporary videos of the performance of Britten’s opus are written is given.

Unbiased estimation of particle number and sizes using the new stereological tools: the disector, the fractionator, the selector, and the nucleator — or just point-sampled intercepts

Previously, all stereological estimation of particle number and sizes were based on models and notoriously gave biased results, were very inefficient to use and difficult to justify. For all references to old methods and a direct comparison with unbiased methods see recent reviews.The publication in 1984 of the DISECTOR, the first unbiased stereological probe for sampling and counting 3—D objects irrespective of their size and shape, signalled the new era in stereology — and give rise to a number of remarkably simple and efficient techniques based on its distinct property: It is the only known way to obtain an unbiased sample of 3-D objects (cells, organelles, etc). The principle is simple: within a 2-D unbiased frame count or sample only cells which are not hit by a parallel plane at a known, small distance h.The area of the frame and h must be known, which might sometimes in itself be a problem, albeit usually a small one. A more severe problem may arise because these constants are known at the scale of the fixed, embedded and sectioned tissue which is often shrunken considerably.

The Impact

In the mid-nineteenth century Virchow revolutionized pathology by introduction of the concept of “cellular pathology”. Today, a century later, this term has increasing significance in health and disease. We now are in the beginning of a new era in pathology, one which might well be termed “organelle pathology” or “subcellular pathology”. The impact of lysosomal diseases on clinical medicine exemplifies this role of pathology of organelles in elucidation of disease today.Another aspect of cell organelles of prime importance is their pathologic alteration by drugs, toxins, hormones and malnutrition. The sensitivity of cell organelles to minute alterations in their environment offers an accurate evaluation of the site of action of drugs in the study of both function and toxicity. Examples of mitochondrial lesions include the effect of DDD on the adrenal cortex, riboflavin deficiency on liver cells, elevated blood ammonia on the neuron and some 8-aminoquinolines on myocardium.
