Astronomy, as the result of activity and development of the technology of human cognition of his existence environment, should be considered as the basis for an effective educational approach. The STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) approach has failed because of limitations caused by the focus on the needs of engineering education only. The STEM projection on the field of astronomical knowledge, technology of means, engineering of instrumentation and mathematical modeling as science and technology language, removes limitations and solves the task to form an educated person. This idea finds solid ground if from philosophy, as a tool for unification, we turn to psychology which studies systems organized around the phenomenon of memory with the goal to reflect and comprehend reality in order to create a new reality and environment for preservation of the viability of human being. This approach is present and developed in different aspects of The General Psychological Theory of Set of Dimitri Uznadze. Based on Uznadze, education is an organized process of accumulation in memory of information that we unconsciously, but adequately use in situations of reality recognizing them as already known. Consciousness serves the memory to create new sets of behavior in new previously unknown situations. Education seems to be ideal, if one step by step organizes situations-tasks of consciousness “switching on” to search for solutions in own memory, in external source or experimentally. If one uses the Psychology of Set as a model of the educational process, astronomy is the best information environment for it.


The method of diagnosing interpersonal interactions of curators and students is designed to study the perception of curators and students in the academic group about themselves and the curator, as well as to study the relationship between curators and students of the group. The method determines the type of attitude to the curator in self-assessment and mutual assessment. The technique is constructed according to the type of Likert scale. The statements in the form of small crafts in Ukrainian folklore are selected for evaluation - proverbs and sayings, which in content are the quintessence of folk ideas about human relations, and in form - concise and easy to understand. In addition, a statement in "metaphorical" form is subjectively easier to evaluate than a direct answer. There are variables that determine the type of attitude to the curator: "Understanding and democracy"; "One step ahead: attentiveness and foresight", "Efficiency, teamwork efficiency". These characteristics reflect various aspects of interpersonal interaction in the academic group, where the curator may pay attention to each of the participants in the educational process, and may be careless and biased; can organize team activities, express their ideas and wishes; predict the likelihood of problematic, conflict situations and manage the process of their resolution, and may, conversely, be passive, inactive, critical of social phenomena and others, provoke conflicts and misunderstandings. The interpersonal interaction of the curator and students is analyzed in a three-dimensional space, which is created by axes: understanding and democracy - misunderstanding and despotism; attentiveness and foresight - inattention and short-sightedness; efficiency, effective teamwork - passivity, unproductive teamwork. The method can be used to assess the behavior of the curator in the assessment of students (from the outside), for self-assessment of the curator and the description of the ideal curator. Depending on the level of diagnosis, the instructions change.

Computer programs are now available in various laboratories for the indexing and simulation of transmission electron diffraction patterns. Although these programs address themselves to the solution of various aspects of the indexing and simulation process, the ultimate goal is to perform real time diffraction pattern analysis directly off of the imaging screen of the transmission electron microscope. The program to be described in this paper represents one step prior to real time analysis. It involves the combination of two programs, described in an earlier paper(l), into a single program for use on an interactive basis with a minicomputer. In our case, the minicomputer is an INTERDATA 70 equipped with a Tektronix 4010-1 graphical display terminal and hard copy unit.A simplified flow diagram of the combined program, written in Fortran IV, is shown in Figure 1. It consists of two programs INDEX and TEDP which index and simulate electron diffraction patterns respectively. The user has the option of choosing either the indexing or simulating aspects of the combined program.

The recognition of changes in environmental conditions, and the ability to adapt to these changes, is essential for the viability of cells. There are numerous well characterized systems by which the presence or absence of an individual metabolite may be recognized by a cell. However, the recognition of a metabolite is just one step in a process that often results in changes in the expression of whole sets of genes required to respond to that metabolite. In higher eukaryotes, the signalling pathway between metabolite recognition and transcriptional control can be complex. Recent evidence from the relatively simple eukaryote yeast suggests that complex signalling pathways may be circumvented through the direct interaction between individual metabolites and regulators of RNA polymerase II-mediated transcription. Biochemical and structural analyses are beginning to unravel these elegant genetic control elements.
