The relevance of the phenomenon of “trust” in the field of higher education is due to the growing crisis of trust in all spheres of life of Russian society. This is a factor that enhances the attention of researchers to this topic. Trust in higher education is studied at three levels: 1) institutional; 2) interpersonal depersonalized; 3) interpersonal personified. Restoration and strengthening of trust is ensured primarily at the interpersonal personified level: 1) institutional level; 2) interpersonal depersonalized level; 3) interpersonal personified level. The authors note that development of trust can be ensured primarily at the interpersonal personified level, as the process of interaction of a particular teacher with a particular student or student group. The authors present their own values, which are connected with the phenomenon of trust at this level. The tools that allow transforming the educational process at the university into a space of activity, which is characterized by interpersonal personalized trust between the teacher and the students are described. These tools are: 1) a dialogue between a teacher and a student and an agreement that creates during the dialogue; this agreement defines the rights and obligations of the both of them; 2) a questionnaire or essay, showing, on the one hand, the students’ motives, attitudes, expectations associated with the upcoming learning process, and, on the other, the teacher’s interest of these characteristics of the students’ inner world; 3) a self-assessment system which helps student to assess their own educational results using specific criteria; 4) the final reflection of the teacher and students about their interaction, as well as about compliance with the contract. The article presents the experience of using these tools. The analysis of practice shows their significant influence on the building and strengthening of trust between the teacher and students.

This study aims to design a LAN network for data backup systems that are in accordance with certain aspects such as the selection of network design, network hardware, network transmission media, network connection devices, and network operating systems. Data is the most important thing for everyone, data can usually be reused even though it has not been used for some time, and therefore data storage is a serious problem that must be considered. Data on the server computer is very important to be maintained so that a backup process is needed on that data to another computer that is used as a backup in the event of damage to the hardware and software of the server computer. FTP is one of the solutions to the problems faced above,where FTP can be used to process the download and upload between the server and client computers. This design uses the Autobot system. The expected benefit in designing this LAN is that the existing network at SMP Negeri 6 Pekanbaru is not only used by employees and employees but can be used and enjoyed by teachers and students to access the internet anywhere as long as it is still within the scope of the SMP Negeri 6 area Pekanbaru.

Specifically designed to help candidates revise for the MRCS exam, this book features 350 Single Best Answer multiple choice questions, covering the whole syllabus. Containing everything candidates need to pass the MRCS Part A SBA section of the exam, it focuses intensively on the application of basic sciences (applied surgical anatomy, physiology, and pathology) to the management of surgical patients. The high level of detail included within the questions and their explanations allows effective self-assessment of knowledge and quick identification of key areas requiring further attention. Varying approaches to Single Best Answer multiple choice questions are used, giving effective exam practice and guidance through revision and exam technique. This includes clinical case questions, 'positively-worded' questions, requiring selection of the most appropriate of relatively correct answers; 'two-step' or 'double-jump' questions, requiring several cognitive steps to arrive at the correct answer; as well as 'factual recall' questions, prompting basic recall of facts.
