To chemists, biochemists and physiologists, H. S. Raper is known for his pioneer work on the metabolism of fat and the formation of melanin, and to them, and his intimate friends, his sudden death has left a gap which will endure. In his later years, and with the development of his career, the management of academic affairs robbed him of the time which he would have preferred to have given to the laboratory. As a recompense, however, the circle of his friendships and acquaintances extended, and he became widely known and revered and greatly esteemed for his gentle, kindly nature, the wisdom of his judgment, and the careful, considered soundness of his counsel and advice, which he willingly gave to the individual and to the wider gathering of his colleagues who sat with him on committees, or joined with him in his endeavours for the medical school, and the university, he loved and served so long and so well. Family and early history Henry Stanley Raper was born on 5 March 1882, in Bradford, in Yorkshire. There were, in all, nine children in the family, of whom seven survived —two daughters and five sons. Henry Stanley was the eighth child and the youngest son. He was survived by one brother and one sister. He was the son of James Rhodes Raper and Sarah Ann Tankard. J. R. Raper was a well-known and much-revered figure in the business life of the West Riding of Yorkshire. He was first cashier, and later, he and his elder sons came to manage, and then to own, a large business house in the West Riding. When J. R. Raper retired he went to live in Grassington in the upper reaches of his beloved Wharfedale, and became an authority on the flora of the district. Here in Wharfedale, for many years, the Raper boys spent much time and came to know the adjoining moors and dales. The youngest son, Henry Stanley, although the only one of this large family to make as his calling the pursuit of natural knowledge and research, was very like physically, and had many of the characteristics of, his much esteemed and beloved father.

In a pandemic, the child-parent relationship is facing new challenges. Social isolation affects people differently, but a sustainable internal psychological resource allows the individual to get out of the critical period with as little damage as possible. Healthy emotionality is a basic prerequisite for the formation and development of emotional intelligence. The identification of the emotion, the control over the impulse and its expression in a socially acceptable way by the parent - all this is inextricably linked with the process of upbringing in the family and marks the nature of the relationship between parents and children. The study focuses on the study of the emotional style of the modern parent in the context of his interaction with the children in the family. The emotional style questionnaire used by a team from the University of Wisconsin-Madison was used. The survey was conducted among parents of children and students from 3 to 18 years. Conclusions were made regarding the specifics of the emotional style of the parents in the context of the established state of emergency and in connection with pedagogical activities aimed at creating conditions for increasing the emotional intelligence of the respondents with the support of the school.

Thomas Graham Brown was a neurophysiologist well known in the twenties for the detailed studies of reflex movement and posture which he made by Sherrington’s methods, and perhaps better known in the thirties as the redoubtable climber who had found several new routes to the summit of Mont Blanc. He was born in 1882 in Edinburgh. His father, Dr J. J. Graham Brown, was to be President of the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh in 1912 and was related to several of the eminent doctors who had maintained the reputation of the Edinburgh Medical School throughout the nineteenth century. It was natural therefore that the son should be trained to medicine and should go to his father’s school, the Edinburgh Academy, and afterwards to the University as a medical student. There were four children in the family, Thomas, the eldest, a brother who became a Captain in the Royal Navy, one who became an architect and one sister. The two elder boys used sometimes to sail with their father in the yacht which he shared with a friend, and in Thomas the interest revived when he was too old for climbing but could still make long cruises in a small motor boat. When he was a schoolboy he was fond of swimming and diving, skating and golf, but there was a period when his eyesight was troublesome and he was sent to an oculist friend of his father in Wiesbaden to be treated and to learn German.

Frederick Maurice Rowe, Professor in the Department of Colour Chemistry and Dyeing at the University of Leeds, died on the 8 December 1946, at the age of fifty-five. He was born on 11 February 1891 at Stroud in Gloucestershire where his father, H. J. Rowe, was engaged in business as a coal merchant and dealer in builders’ materials, under the name of Wood and Rowe. From 1901 to 1908 he attended Marling School, Stroud, and always retained for it a strong attachment for which there were solid grounds. The school, founded and endowed in 1887 by Sir Samuel Marling, a prominent figure in the West of England cloth trade in that part of Gloucestershire, had attracted the attention of the Worshipful Company of Cloth workers by whose efforts a Department of Dyeing had been established at the Yorkshire College, Leeds. The Company decided to provide funds for an annual leaving scholarship to help a Marling School boy to proceed to Leeds for two years’ technological training in textile dyeing at the College. Similar provision was made at Cheltenham Grammar School and in consequence there were unusual opportunities for boys from Gloucestershire to go north for scientific and technical training whilst becoming familiar with another district famous for its woollen industry. On his mother’s side Rowe was descended from a family of Huguenots who fled from France after the revocation of the Edict of Nantes in 1685 and settled in Gloucestershire to practise their craft of woollen manufacture with which some members of the family continued to maintain a connexion. This circumstance and the Cotswold environment may have helped to direct Rowe’s choice of a career, but a love for chemistry was awakened in him by one of the masters at the school, Bartlett, whose influence in after years he frequently acknowledged with gratitude.

The article carries out a retrospective logical-system analysis of the scientific heritage of the first rector of the Kiev Froebel Pedagogical Institute I.O. Sikorsky (1842–1919) – a doctor of medicine, a well-known teacher and psychologist, a professor of the University of St. Volodymyr, chairman of the Kiev Froebel Society of the Promotion of Education. It was found out that the scientist considered the comprehensive knowledge of the child by a chain that unites family and school, and the integration of knowledge on psychology, medicine, upbringing and development of the family was a foundation for effective education of the individual. The interpretation of the ultimate goal of education by I.O. Sikorsky defined as the achievement of harmonious development of the spirit and body, mental and physical, as the balance of mental, moral and aesthetic principles. The directions and mechanisms of implementation of the author's medical-psychological-pedagogical concept I.O. Sikorsky are investigated in the content of vocational and pedagogical training of the Kiev Froebel Pedagogical Institute (1907–1920).

Water bottling industry has negative environmental impacts due to exploitation and possible pollution of water resources and due to solid waste problems related to the use of plastic bottles. To mitigate these impacts, it is important to study the link between consuming bottled drinking water and the perception of its quality. The objective of the study is to assess the perception of Birzeit University students’ of the bottled water marketed in the West Bank and its impact on the humans and the environment. Universities play an important role in providing awareness about environmental issues and sustainability, and university students are thought to be more environmentally conscious about these issues. A quantitative survey was used to analyze the behaviors and perceptions of Birzeit University students. The sample size was 375 students, distributed according to the college, gender, and the academic year at the university. The results show that the factors that affect the perception of the students are mainly the educational year at the university, the income, the family size, and the community type.

Abram Samoilovitch Besicovitch was born at Berdjansk, on the Sea of Azov, on 24 January 1891, the fourth child of the family of four sons and two daughters of Samuel and Eva Besicovitch. By descent the family belonged to the Karaim people, whose ancestors were the Khazars. The once powerful kingdom of the Khazars (from the 7th to the 11th centuries) stretched between the Volga and the Dnieper. The conversion of sects of the Khazars by the Karaite Jews led to their taking the name Karaims. Their language was originally Turkish of the Qipchaq group but is now mostly Russian. Samuel Besicovitch was a jeweller by trade but, after losses by theft, he gave up his shop and took employment as a cashier. He married Eva when she was 15, and they had to live frugally to bring up their large family. All the children were talented. Moreover, they were united by strong bonds of affection. They all studied at the University at St Petersburg, the older ones in turn earning money in their spare time by giving private lessons and helping to support the younger. All the children gained high qualifications, one brother of A.S. being the author of a number of mathematical books, and another a doctor of medicine. The two daughters both kept up independent careers after marriage. In later life the sons and daughters bore witness to the intelligence of their mother and agreed that, if she had not been cut off from higher education by marrying so young and having children, she would have shown conspicuous ability, notably in mathematics. A.S. acknowledged that he owed to his father (twenty-five years older than his mother) a stern encouragement to persevere to the highest standards. From an early age the boy had shown extraordinary aptitude for solving mathematical problems. One day he brought a textbook to his father saying ‘I have been able to solve every problem except one in this book’. His father withheld praise for this achievement until A.S. had successfully solved the remaining problem.

The purpose of this study was two-fold. Firstly, to determine the level of scientific literacy of Chemistry undergraduate students at The University of the West Indies, Cave Hill Campus and secondly to investigate the individual and joint contributions of sex, age and level of study to the level of scientific literacy of the students. A total of one hundred and one (101) Chemistry undergraduate students from across the preliminary, 1st, 2nd and final years, participated in the study. The instrument chosen for this investigation, was the Basic Scientific Literacy Questionnaire (BSLQ) developed by Richard Carrier in 2001, which consisted of twenty-four (24) „True‟ and „False‟ questions. The instrument was found to be reliable with Crombach Alpha value of 0.6. The contributions of the variables sex, age range and level of study to the level of scientific literacy, were also analyzed and these were done via Independent Sample t-tests, Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and linear regression. A confidence level of 95 % was the set level for all of the analyses conducted. It was found that overall, the Chemistry undergraduate students are at a „Good‟ level of scientific literacy. There were no statistically significant differences in the level of scientific literacy based on age range and level of study. However, sex was found to have contributed most and significantly to variations in the level of scientific literacy of the undergraduate chemistry students.

В статье в рамках экологического и ресурсного подходов анализируется понятие индивидуальной жизнеспособности как важной характеристики студентов. Рассматриваются индивидуальные навыки жизнеспособности студента, проявляемой им в процессе обучения в университете, анализируются модели жизнеспособности А. Мастен и М. Унгара, созданные в рамках экологической модели развития Ю. Бронфеннбренера. Предложена экологическая модель жизнеспособности студента, которая позволяет учитывать большое число различных факторов риска, прямо или опосредованно оказывающих влияние на студента, и его защитных факторов, к которым он может обращаться для ответа на требования или угрозы, идущие от факторов риска. Факторы риска, действующие на уровне макросистем (актуальная экологическая, эпидемиологическая, экономическая и др. ситуации в стране или мире), в которые включен субъект, взаимодействуют со всеми нижележащими уровнями экологический системы (микро-, мезо- и экзосистемы, например, образовательная система вуза; семейная система и др.), и опосредованно оказывают на них влияние. Все это предъявляет к студенту требования, на которые он вынужден отвечать на основе своих индивидуальных ресурсов, а также ресурсов, заключенных на микро-, мезо- и экзо- уровнях. На любом из уровней, любая из систем может нести в себе как факторы риска, так и факторы защиты, быть ресурсной для отдельного студента. Риски могут возникать как на индивидуальном уровне (на уровне микросистем), так и на уровнях более высокого порядка. Поэтому и проявления жизнеспособности студентом оказываются необходимыми во всех этих системах и на разных уровнях. Развитие и усиление жизнеспособности происходит по мере того, как все уровни (семьи, университета, сообщества) работают вместе, чтобы положительно влиять на индивидуальный уровень жизнеспособности студента. Показано значение экологической модели жизнеспособности студента при использовании ее специалистами в области социальной, педагогической, семейной психологии, психологии развития для анализа факторов риска и жизнеспособности в научных исследованиях, психотерапевтической и консультационной работе. The article analyzes the concept of individual resilience as an important characteristic of students within the framework of environmental and resource approaches. The individual skills of the student's resilience shown by him in the process of studying at the University are considered, the models of resilience by A. Masten and M. Ungar created within the framework of the ecological model of development by Yu. Bronfenbrenner. An ecological model of the student's resilience is proposed, which allows us to take into account a large number of different risk factors that directly or indirectly affect the student, and his protective factors that he can turn to respond to the requirements or threats coming from risk factors. Risk factors operating at the level of macro-systems (current environmental, epidemiological, economic, etc. situations in the country or world), in which the subject is included, interact with all the underlying levels of the ecological system (micro -, meso - and exosystems, for example, the educational system of a university, the family system, etc.), and indirectly influence them. All this makes demands on the student, which he is forced to meet on the basis of his individual resources, as well as resources contained at the micro -, meso - and exo - levels. At any level, any of the systems can carry both risk factors and protection factors, be a resource for a student. Risks can occur both at the individual level (at the level of Microsystems) and at higher-order levels. The manifestations of resilience by the student are necessary in all these systems and at different levels. The development and strengthening of resilience occurs as all levels (family, university, community) work together to positively influence the individual level of the student's resilience. The importance of the ecological model of the student's resilience is shown when it is used by specialists in the field of social, pedagogical, family psychology, developmental psychology for the analysis of risk factors and resilience in scientific research, psychotherapeutic and consulting work.

LANGUAGE NOTE | Document text in Chinese; abstract also in English.在中國幾千年小農經濟和傳統文化背景下，個人利益、個人權利一直被置於家庭之下，個人自主性被包含在家庭自主性之內，表現為一種家庭本位主義。源自西方歷史、文化的知情同意移植到中國後，受傳統文化概念的影響，中國人對知情同意的認知、理解以及實踐方式均不同於西方人。這種不同集中表現在人們對家屬同意權的認可。以個人本位主義為背景的病人自主性與中國文化中的家庭本位主義之間存在張力。對知情同意在不同文化環境中不同踐行方式，應以文化寬容主義的態度對待之。不同文化背景下的倫理觀念，不僅存在差異性，而且也存在可通約性和相容性。由於種種原因，家庭同意並不能等同於病人本人的意願。隨著全球化進程的加速和人們相互交往的密切，類似知情同意這樣一些原本屬於個人的自然權利，將會愈來愈多地為各國人民接受。我們應當在某些條件具備時，盡可能地將家屬同意限制在合理的範圍，讓病人更好地表達自己的意願。Family has a long history. With China's small-scale peasant economy and traditional cultural background for centuries, family has been the most basic unit of polity, economy, and socio-cultural life. Interests and rights of the individual are always placed below those of family; individual autonomy is often included in family autonomy. All this can be called familism. There are deeper and determining economic reasons for familism. The economy of the family is controlled by the head of the family or clan so that the individual usually has no independent economic measures to support his or her autonomous rights.Informed consent originated in the Western culture. The theoretical premise of informed consent is respect for the patient's autonomy. The patient's autonomy is closely related with individualism in the West. After informed consent is spread from the West to China, due to the influence of traditional Chinese culture, the Chinese perception, understanding, and practice of are different from those of the West. The difference mainly lies in Chinese familism. To focus on the autonomy of the family reflects the influence of traditional familism upon informed consent. As a result, there exits a tension between the patient's autonomy based on individualism and familism in Chinese culture.Informed consent is not a culture issue, but it is closely related with cultural tradition. It is impossible to get away with cultural norms in the practice of informed consent. To different practicing methods of informed consent in different cultural contexts, the spirit of cultural tolerance is needed. In China, with the principle of cultural tolerance as a practical guidance, we should establish a set of procedure and ways of practicing informed consent with Chinese characteristics. Fundamentally, informed consent is to balance the unbalanced power between doctors and patients. According to the principle of cultural tolerance, the difference in the practice of informed consent at different cultural contexts should be tolerated so long as the basic purpose of informed consent is not violated. There exists a variety of cultural ideas among contemporary Chinese. The individual patient and his or her family are essential part of informed consent, with both having their rationality. Thus, we shouldn't reject absolutely some methods. From the angle of historical development, it is worthwhile noticing the transformation from family determination to individual autonomy. National and cultural differences are integrating in the age of globalization. Since laws, ethics, and customs in different countries and cultures are mutually exchanging, we should promote to make the practice of informed consent to become similar.DOWNLOAD HISTORY | This article has been downloaded 35 times in Digital Commons before migrating into this platform.
