Abstract A quantitative model of human knowledge of the physical world based on the use of various parts of the electromagnetic spectrum is proposed. The model is epistemologically effective in demonstrating limits to what scientific knowledge can provide us about the physical world, thus enhancing for students the potentially exploratory opportunities available in scientific research, based on how little we really know. Additionally, the model provides a pedagogically useful way to engage students in considerations of the role of measurement, scale and estimation; these features are urgently needed by many students according to international assessments and are particularly important for non-science majors.

Have been described the role of the scientific method of cognition and the role of scientific knowledge in the educational sphere in the period of Modern philosophy. Have been determined the role of the empirical method and the theoretical method in experiments in order to gain new knowledge and test hypotheses. Considered the role of scientific societies and academies as centers of development of scientific knowledge. Have been determined that the expansion of knowledge through the improvement of the scientific method has led to the need for changes in principles of education. Are described the demonstrations of physical experiments for educational purposes in universities and academies. Have been described the physical experiments on the example of a lecture of Jacques Rohault and Pierre Poliniere. The contribution of Francis Bacon and Rene Descartes, Isaac Newton in the study of the effectiveness and objectivity of the scientific method in research is described. Was considered that scientific research was made with the aim of practical efficiency for human life, and not as a self-goal. Knowledge and education should be formed based on the inductive method. The main ideas of the work "Reflections on the method" are considered as the publication of tipping point in the formation of Modern philosophy. Have been described the main ideas of 21 rules of application the scientific method in researches in this publication. Have been determined that in the Modern philosophy period science had a direct impact on education, as well-known representatives of science popularized and involved in their research students and young scientists through educational institutions. At this time, education has become an instrument of human socialization, so well-known educators of this period emphasized to the need of early child development (John Locke and Jean-Jacques Rousseau) and the universality of education (Jan Amos Comenius). It is determined that the application of the scientific method in the research activities of period of Modern philosophy is inextricably linked with their pedagogical practice. In this way it has led to active improvement and structuring of scientific methods, and to involving more young minds in scientific research and investigations. Which was a background to the germination of the next period of Classical Philosophy of Science

SUMMARY The recent extensive literature on exploration and the resulting scientific advances has failed to highlight the contribution of Austrian enterprise to the study of natural history. The leading role of Joseph II among the neutral powers which assumed the carrying trade of the belligerents during the American War of Independence, furthered the development of collections for the Schönbrunn Park and Gardens which had been set up on scientific principles by his parents. On the conclusion of peace, Joseph entrusted to Professor Maerter a world-encompassing mission in the course of which the Chief Gardener Franz Boos and his assistant Georg Scholl travelled to South Africa to collect plants and animals. Boos pursued the mission to Isle de France and Bourbon (Mauritius and Reunion), conveyed by the then unknown Nicolas Baudin. He worked at the Jardin du Roi, Pamplemousses, with Nicolas Cere, or at Palma with Joseph Francois Charpentier de Cossigny. The linkage of Austrian and French horticultural expertise created a situation fraught with opportunities which were to lead Baudin to the forefront of exploration and scientific research as the century closed in the upheaval of the Revolutionary Wars.

Innovation is seen as a competitive advantage that many companies use to ensure the continuity and success of your business.NP 4457:2007 is the Portuguese norm that supports management, based on a model of innovation backed up by interfaces and interaction between technical/scientific knowledge, its specific mechanisms and the overall society.Our paper aims to analyse innovation activities and the involvement of human resources in Portuguese firms certified by NP4457 and associated to the implementation of Research, Development, and Innovation (RD&I) management systems. We have collected the data through IPAC’s database, using a survey administered to all firms.Our results suggest the existence of a Human Resources (HR) involvement policy, customers and suppliers. The involvement of stakeholders with innovation activities results of its acceptance as a mechanism able to generate wealth, with benefits for both firms and the community.

Treatment Aspect

The science of life Ayurveda, not only deals with the prevention of diseases by maintaining health but also with the alleviation of diseases. In this ultra modern era due to change in lifestyles, sedentary works and food habits, people are unable to follow the Dinacharya and Ritucharya as explained in the classics, which may lead to different diseases. Due to improper postural habits, weight bearing and other unwholesome diets and habits there are higher the chances of discomfort and disease pertaining to spinal cord. Manyasthambha is one such condition that disturbs a big population due to today’s alterations in lifestyle. Here an effort is made to study and understand the role of Nasya Karma, Nasaapana and Shamanaushadhi like Vyoshadi Guggulu in the treatment aspect of this disease. Nasya Karma and Nasaapana provided highly significant results in all the symptoms of Manyasthambha. As per the clinical data, ‘Nasaapana is found to be more effective than Nasya Karma’. So it can be concluded that better results can be obtained with Shaddharana Yoga as Amapachana, Nasaapana with Mashabaladi Kwatha followed by Vyoshadi Guggulu as Shamanoushadhi.

This study looks at the educational experiences, from the preschool years to advanced professional training in STEM fields, of a targeted sample of 10 (7 male, 3 female) early college entrants in China who later became professors at prestigious USA research universities. The purpose of the study was to find out (1) what some identifiable endogenous factors were about these individuals that facilitated the success of their accelerated learning and development; (2) what kinds of exogenous factors (e.g., environmental opportunities, resources, support) they experienced from childhood to adulthood that enhanced the successful acceleration experience; and (3) how these endogenous and exogenous factors facilitated their developmental transitions every step of the way, especially from the role of a student to that of an aspiring scientist. These questions are addressed in light of evolving complexity theory. Retrospective interviews were used for data collection. Thematic analysis of the codes from interview data yielded a conceptual map. A distinct set of endogenous and exogenous factors at different developmental junctures were identified, and their dynamic interplay was delineated to account for accelerated trajectories toward a scientific research career. The theoretical significance and practical implications of the study for talent development in science are discussed.

Four Dimensions

Research in international marketing has long shown that foreign firms face disadvantages when operating abroad from a lack of familiarity with the local institutional environment. To cope with this familiarity, some companies have developed a culture in the ability to understand and take into account the institutional dimensions of the destination market. This article thus aims to explore the institutional orientation of firms and tests its impact on export performance. In Study 1, we develop and validate a 12-item measurement scale divided into four dimensions. In Study 2, we investigate the role of institutional orientation in export performance using a sample of 273 French and Tunisian exporting companies. The results show that this relationship is not direct but is mediated by export commitment.
