The introduction of distance learning raised questions of self-organization and self-discipline of the student, the desire and ability of the student to independently acquire knowledge, academic integrity of the student. The effectiveness of distance learning depends on the answers to these questions. Therefore, teachers need to analyze the level of self-preparation of each student and, if necessary, motivate them for intensive independent educational work. To obtain objective data on the readiness and attitude of students to distance learning, as well as in order to establish and analyze the advantages and disadvantages of distance learning as students see them, conducted a voluntary anonymous survey using a questionnaire developed by us. The survey was carried out among the students, who studied the discipline “Microbiology, Virology and Immunology” for one semester in the classroom, and the next semester studied remotely using the services of the Microsoft Office 365 platform. Indicators of representativeness of the sample: sample size — 24 respondents, which amounted to 54.5 % of students; the maximum error is 10 % with a probability of 0.90. When analyzing the answers to the questionnaires, we revealed the advantage of positive feedback from students on the introduced distance learning form. Among the positive aspects, students consider remote lecturing and access to lectures read on the MS Teams service of the Microsoft Office 365 platform. Among the disadvantages of distance learning, students especially note the long stay at the monitor and the lack of practical work, especially when studying the discipline “Microbiology, Virology and Immunology”.

Abstract Distance learning and e-learning have significantly developed in recent years. It is also due to changing educational requirements, especially for adults. The article aims to show the advantages and disadvantages of distance learning. Examples of the 20-year use of the distance learning form of computer science describe the difficulties associated with the implementation and implementation of this form of teaching. The results of students in the full-time and distance form of teaching in the bachelor’s study of computer science are compared. Long-term findings show that distant students have significantly lower scores in the first years of study than full-time bachelor students. In the following years of study, the differences diminish, and students’ results are comparable. The article describes the possibilities of improving the quality of distance learning.

Delivering foreign molecules into human cells is a wide and ongoing area of research. Gene therapy, or delivering nucleic acids into cells via nonviral or viral pathways, is an especially promising area for pharmaceutics. All gene therapy methods have their respective advantages and disadvantages, including limited delivery efficiency and low viability. We present an electromechanical method for delivering foreign molecules into human cells. Nanoinjection, or delivering molecules into cells using a solid lance, has proven to be highly efficient while maintaining high viability levels. This paper describes an array of solid silicon microlances that was tested to determine efficiency and viability when nanoinjecting tens of thousands of HeLa cells simultaneously. Propidium iodide (PI), a dye that fluoresces when bound to nucleic acids and does not fluoresce when unbound, was delivered into cells using the lance array. Results show that the lance array delivers PI into up to 78% of a nanoinjected HeLa cell culture, while maintaining 78–91% viability. With these results, we submit the nanoinjection method using a silicon lance array as another promising particle delivery method for mammalian culture cells.

The article presents the psychological analysis of the implicit mind theory and its research methods. The main problems of empirical research in psychology are briefly described. The main problems of research of the mind theory are highlighted; and the status of this phenomenon’s in scientific psychology is defined. The implicit mind theory is defined as a psychological quality expressed in the ability to explain and attribute mental states – beliefs, desires, emotions, knowledge, etc. – to themselves and others; as well as understanding that others have different beliefs, desires, intentions, and attitudes. Current difficulties in the research on the implicit mind theory are described. Age-related features of formation of the implicit mind theory are depicted. The latest scientific studies on the implicit mind theory are highlighted. Biological correlates of the theory are shown. It is also described that in the case of an alcohol addiction, certain brain areas that are known to be neurological correlates of the implicit mind theory are damaged. The main research methods, which are separated into three groups, are highlighted. The first group includes methods that study the implicit mind theory using behavioural experiment with special tasks. The second group includes methods that use semi-structured interview. The third group includes methods where respondents are asked to identify an emotion or an affective state of another person based on the visual stimuli (photo, picture etc.).The main methods of research of this psychological phenomenon, features, procedure, advantages, and disadvantages are described in detail. The most appropriate methods to examine addicts’ implicit mind theory are proposed. The procedure of investigation and psychological assessment of the implicit mind theory for people dependent on psychoactive substances is offered.

Currently, during the pandemic, the forced transition to distance learning carries a number of problems. These problems affect various aspects of education, including the study of students’ attitudes to distance learning. The purpose of this research is to study the features of the subjective attitude of schoolchildren and students to distance learning. This research involved 140 secondary school students (average age M = 10.7, SD = 7.2 (66.3% men)) and 30 university students (average age M = 22.5, SD = 2.4 (20% men)). The methods used were a questionnaire, Chi-square test and Criterion φ*. Fisher angular transformation. The study showed that schoolchildren do not intend to continue studying in the distance form if they choose, with a generally positive attitude towards distance learning. The self-assessment of motivation to study in a distance format has not changed, both among schoolchildren and students. Students are more likely to have a positive attitude to distance learning than schoolchildren. The variety of choices of advantages and disadvantages of distance learning is greater among students than among schoolchildren. The perspective of this study is thus to study the factors that determine the positive and negative attitudes to distance learning.
