Целью работы является проектирование индивидуальных образовательных маршрутов исследовательской составляющей аспирантской подготовки в России на базе учета позитивного опыта европейской докторантуры. Достижения российской аспирантуры и европейской докторантуры рассматривались с помощью метода сравнительного анализа. В основу указанного проектирования положены системный и компетентностный подходы, использовались методы моделирования и проектирования. При построении образовательных маршрутов аспирантов использовался метод структурных графов. В результате проведенного исследования выявлен позитивный опыт организации зарубежной докторской подготовки и дан вариант проектирования структуры и содержания программы подготовки аспирантов. На примере университетов ряда стран предложены введение зачетных единиц на исследовательскую часть образовательной составляющей отечественной аспирантской программы подготовки, а также оценка стоимости определенных видов исследовательских действий. Разработаны варианты образовательных маршрутов исследовательской части подготовки аспирантов по естественно-математическому, инженерно-техническому и социально-гуманитарному направлениям. Результаты исследования дают возможность на основе введения зачетных единиц в исследовательскую часть аспирантской подготовки выработать критериальную систему оценки готовности аспирантов к итоговой аттестации. Разработанные варианты образовательных маршрутов позволяют более продуктивно осуществлять реализацию в целом аспирантской подготовки. The aim of the work is to design the structure and content of postgraduate programs in Russia at the third level of higher education based on the positive experience of European doctoral studies. Achievements of European and Russian doctoral studies were examined using the comparative analysis method. The design of the structure and content of postgraduate training programs is based on a systematic approach, modeling and design methods were used. The method of structural graphs was used to build educational routes for graduate students. As a result of the study, positive experience in organizing foreign doctoral training was revealed and a design option for the structure and content of the graduate student training program was given. On the example of universities in a number of countries, the following are proposed: the introduction of credit units on the research part of the educational component of the domestic postgraduate training program, as well as the assessment of the cost of certain types of research activities.

On the example of universities in a number of countries, the following are proposed: the introduction of credit units on the research part of the educational component of the domestic postgraduate training program, as well as the assessment of the cost of certain types of research activities. Variants of educational routes have been developed for the research part of postgraduate training in natural-mathematical, engineering-technical and social-humanitarian areas. The results of the study allow, on the basis of the introduction of credits in the research part of postgraduate training, to develop a criteria-based system for assessing the readiness of graduate students for final certification. The developed educational route options allow for more productive implementation of postgraduate training as a whole.

The present study provides a species list of fish from the Marmelos River Area – BX044 in the states of Amazonas and Rondônia in northern Brazil. During a Rapid Ecological Assessment (REA) performed in October and November of 2003, 133 fish species from six orders and 24 families were recorded. The most diverse families were Characidae (47 species), Cichlidae (15 species), Loricariidae (12 species) and Pimelodidae (7 species). 23 fish species were common to the entire river basin and 4 were endemic to the aquatic system studied.

The composition of marine macroinvertebrates in two localities (Isla Palma and Los Negritos) of Malaga Bay was studied. This bay is located in the Pacific coast of Colombia and was recently declared National Natural Park. The rapid ecological assessment revealed a total of 128 species belonging to 64 families and 11 classes (including threatened species). The most common groups were: Gastropoda (27%), Polychaeta (26%), Malacostraca (16%) and Pelecypoda (13%). Even though the two sites are relatively near, being apart only by 6 km, the composition of the respective communities was very different. They shared only 7.8% of the species found; which might have profound and interesting effects for conservation purposes.

Correction: On 05/06/2016 The spelling of the first author's name was changed from "Biren B Soni" to "Hiren B Soni".The preliminary investigation of marine mollusks of Beyt Dwarka was carried out to prepare a checklist at the island of Beyt Dwarka, Gulf of Kachchh (Eco-sensitive Zone), Okhamandal Taluka, Jamnagar District, Gujarat, India. The rapid ecological assessment revealed the occurrence of 82 species of mollusks, belonging to 61 genera, 32 families, 9 orders, and 3 classes (including uncommon / rare species). Of the reported species, Class Bivalvia was represented by 5 orders, 8 families, and 20 species, followed by 4 orders of Gastropoda distributed in 23 families and 60 species, and only 1 order (Scaphopoda) with 1 family and 2 species. Of 82 species, 67 species were common throughout the study period (October 2013 to February 2014), whereas 15 species were designated as uncommon or rare therein. The overall ratio of Order, Family and Species of recorded molluscan taxa was found to be 3.00: 3.56: 2.56. From the present survey, it was observed that the study area (Beyt Dwarka) is endowed with rich diversity of marine mollusks prevailed therein. Therefore, it should be declared as “Sanctum sanctorum” by employing grassroots efforts involving local inhabitants with the help of forest officials suggesting site-specific conservation and management strategies.International Journal of Environment Vol.4(2) 2015: 243-255

  The  social dedication is one of the Teacher Training Facultys Program.   The students face the real social situation and transform their class kowledge to solve the real social program.  The real Social Working was held in Sukakarya Village tha a part of Bogor Regency, West Java.  Those programs had been done for forty days by twenty students.  Previous study had detected the unqualified PAUD teachers, there was no social committe concerning the children and teenagers development.  Many of the social members were not aware of the important of health and good education.  The economic problem was also a big deal to solve. The program had been progressed based on those problem appeared in Sukakarya village.  Some programs that had been done are the accompanied of PAUD school administration, the renovation of PAUD class,  the seminar to improve PAUD teachers capability, Quranic Study included Al Quran  room for kids and teenagers, the increasing of the known of the letter of the alphabet, the healthy training program, the development of the creative economic program, the smart corner in order to facilitate the children for literature and finally, this program ended after the celebration of Independence Day.

Here we present the results from a rapid ecological assessment of mammals within Campo Boscán, located in the middle basin of the Palmar River in Zulia state, Venezuela. Records for species inventories were obtained from mist-nets and traps surveys and direct observation across three-vegetation types; we also include data from surveys to local communities. We identified 47 mammal species–representing 24 families and nine orders–, including the first record of the Hairy Big-eared Bat (Micronycteris hirsuta) for the Maracaibo Lake Depression region. Orders Chiroptera, Rodentia and Carnivora represented the most diverse and abundant taxa. Insectivores and carnivores were the most diverse trophic groups. Approximately 13% of the species are included within some threat category. Our results can be used for developing future monitoring programs in order to increase the knowledge on terrestrial vertebrates and biodiversity in general within the region. Key words: Ecology, species richness, mammals, Maracaibo Lake Depression, Zulia state
