A formal village/neighbourhood planning process is typically focused on three planning levels (national, regional and local) and is usually linked with administrative units of the territory (state, region or municipality). The local planning level (village or neighbourhood) “pocket plan” is a development challenge for spatial planners. The small coastal village Tuja in Latvia was taken as a pilot territory for “pocket planning” due to the unique location; biodiversity and ecosystems; significant natural, cultural, economic and social values; specific interests; and the needs of the involved local society. All these factors create a dynamic flow of data and information. Geographic information systems (GIS) are widely used as planning support systems. GISs for pocket plans must accommodate the special needs of communities in villages and neighbourhoods. Ensuring the availability of information in dynamic real time is an opportunity to build both community integration in specific environments and to understand the future plans of the territory. Access to a WEB-GIS (internet GIS) provides possibilities for every person with a mobile phone to use and update information. Static and statistical information is generally used for spatial planning. For pocket plans, the data and information flow has to be dynamic and has to interact with non-professional users. The special wishes and needs of every member of a community must be accommodated by a pocket plan for the well-being of the people and the sustainability of the surrounding territory. Small territory planning involves a very narrow circle of individuals or communities that identify spatial development needs for the future, which includes the socio-economic, cultural, historical, environmental and climate change scenarios. In order to assess the development opportunities and needs of such areas, the detection, accumulation and monitoring of reliable data is necessary. Methodically derived data (facts) provide objectivity and transparency. Currently, as information between the present and the past is able to circulate very fast, analysis of the current situation to forecast the future and show different constructed realities (scenarios) using a GIS is necessary. Therefore, to explore and determine a local needs-based and smart spatial planning approach, we must identify indicators that can be used for the short-term and long-term analysis of specific territories in coastal areas.

With an ever-increasing need to address the future of engineered sustainability in our global communities, a simple, brief, study of sustainability factors in undergraduate engineering curriculum is no longer adequate.  With exponentially rising problems in the global society such as water contamination and shortages, food processing needs, ineffective irrigation practices, technology shortfalls, and underdeveloped sanitation practices, engineering curriculum today must address these international development issues, along with sustainability concepts, using effective, hands-on methods to prepare Canadian graduates for the competitive and challenging workforce they will enter.  In this contribution, the importance of considering international development problems in the engineering design component of undergraduate curriculum is analyzed.  We then go on to discuss the various methods that can be utilized to implement and teach an international development curriculum.   International development engineering curriculum should not only focus on the hands-on design requirements, but should introduce the student to issues such as education, health care, political stability, and economy in the developing world.  Topics such as cultural sensitivity and community integration, which are concerns that must be an integral part of any international development project, should also be incorporated into this curriculum.  Finally, a case study is presented in which a Canadian university has successfully enhanced their first-year engineering design curriculum by integrating international development problems into their syllabus.

This study was undertaken to investigate whether children’s perceptions of science and scientists changed following their participation in the science education program within the scope of “Science Meets with Children at University”- the project which was initiated at Ankara University by Ankara Development Agency, and it was also intended to find out whether the science education program affected children’s future job choices. Within the scope of the project “Science Meets with Children at University”, 6319 children attended half-day education sessions. “Questionnaire of Views on Science and Scientists” was administered to 4688 of the children who volunteered to take part in the study. The results indicated that there were changes in the views of the children following the education program, their views on science and the scientist changed positively after education program 90,4% of children reported they would like to choose a  science-related career in the future and 90.1% of them said they would like to attend the education program again.

A symposium on the future of the International Latitude Service (I. L. S.) is to be held in Helsinki in July 1960. My report for the symposium consists of two parts. Part I, denoded (Mk I) was published [1] earlier in 1960 under the title “Latitude and Longitude, and the Secular Motion of the Pole”. Part II is the present paper, denoded (Mk II).

Second-epoch photographs have now been obtained for nearly 850 of the 1246 fields of the proper motion program with centers at declination -20° and northwards. For the sky at 0° and northward only 130 fields remain to be taken in the next year or two. The 270 southern fields with centers at -5° to -20° remain for the future.

Metaphase chromosomes from human and mouse cells in vitro are isolated by micrurgy, fixed, and placed on grids for electron microscopy. Interpretations of electron micrographs by current methods indicate the following structural features.Chromosomal spindle fibrils about 200Å thick form fascicles about 600Å thick, wrapped by dense spiraling fibrils (DSF) less than 100Å thick as they near the kinomere. Such a fascicle joins the future daughter kinomere of each metaphase chromatid with those of adjacent non-homologous chromatids to either side. Thus, four fascicles (SF, 1-4) attach to each metaphase kinomere (K). It is thought that fascicles extend from the kinomere poleward, fray out to let chromosomal fibrils act as traction fibrils against polar fibrils, then regroup to join the adjacent kinomere.

In his pioneering demonstration of the potential of freeze-etching in biological systems, Russell Steere assessed the future promise and limitations of the technique with remarkable foresight. Item 2 in his list of inherent difficulties as they then stood stated “The chemical nature of the objects seen in the replica cannot be determined”. This defined a major goal for practitioners of freeze-fracture which, for more than a decade, seemed unattainable. It was not until the introduction of the label-fracture-etch technique in the early 1970s that the mould was broken, and not until the following decade that the full scope of modern freeze-fracture cytochemistry took shape. The culmination of these developments in the 1990s now equips the researcher with a set of effective techniques for routine application in cell and membrane biology.Freeze-fracture cytochemical techniques are all designed to provide information on the chemical nature of structural components revealed by freeze-fracture, but differ in how this is achieved, in precisely what type of information is obtained, and in which types of specimen can be studied.
