The article reveals the basic conceptual ideas of pedagogical technology «Rostock», developed and researched for many years and confirmed by its correlation with the principles of the New Ukrainian School. The basic ideas of Rostock technology can be defined in the acronym for the word IDEA, as an important tool for educational reform and considered in relation to its structural components: I - integration, D - activity, E - ecology, I - quality. It is shown that the performance of each of these components depends on their systematic interaction. The expediency of a competent approach to teaching, which positively influences innovative pedagogical design in the conditions of the New Ukrainian School, is substantiated.

Abstract:This study examines the history of Pleasant Avenue School in Willowdale, Ontario, during a time when its staff engaged in a significant experiment in curriculum and pedagogical design. As one of the pioneering schools of the Open Concept Plan (and accompanying team-teacher strategies) as early as 1962, it became an archetype for countless reproductions throughout the province, and of great inspiration to recommendations made in the influential Hall-Dennis Report of 1968. Through records, interviews, and other primary print/audio visual sources, this study details the school’s connections to American counterparts, the factors that led to its immediate success, the influence that it had on the province, and the eventual collapse of the experiment by the end of the decade.Résumé: Cet article analyse l’histoire de la Pleasant Avenue School à Willowdale en Ontario, à l’époque où ses enseignants entreprenaient une expérience d’importance touchant la conception des programmes d’étude et des méthodes pédagogiques. En tant que l’une des écoles pionnières de l’Open Concept Plan (et des stratégies d’enseignement en équipe qui l’accompagnaient), cette expérience est devenue, dès 1962, le modèle pour d’innombrables écoles dans la province et une inspiration pour les recommandations de l’influent rapport Hall-Dennis de 1968. À travers des documents, entretiens et autres sources primaires, cette étude explique en détail les liens entre l’école et ses contreparties américaines, les facteurs qui ont contribué au succès de l’expérience, l’influence de ce succès dans la province et son éventuelle fin abrupte vers la fin des années 1960.

The problem of digital transformation of educationare considered in the article. The relevance of this study in the normative documents which adopted in the Republic of Kazakhstanand the experience of digital transformation of education in the whole world and in our countryare analyzedThe basic ideas of the concept of digital university, their purpose and principle of work are given, the explanation of digital transformation of education is considered. There are given basic terms of digital transformation of education, such as "skills of the XXI century", competence, digital literacy, foot print, pedagogical design. The terms information and communication technologies and digital technologies are considered and the difference between these terms is described with example. It is noted that one of the main requirements for the training of specialists in the conditions of digital economy is the quality of the specialist, as the ability to work in a team of project work and the basis of the project work is given. Lack of analysis of digital footprint analysis and determination of the competence of students are analyzed

Neo-Existentialism as a Theory of Classroom Teaching? Reviewing Gert Biesta’s Re(dis) -covery of Teaching Gert Biesta is well known as a critic of a dominantly psychological interpretation of education and learning. He is also sceptic towards the evidence-based approach to educational reform and administration. Instead of this current dominating paradigm he defends and praises »the beautiful risk of education« based on a non-technological, dialogical interpretation of education. But what about teaching? In his new book Biesta rediscovers and recovers teaching and the teacher. His central idea is to disconnect teaching and learning, to free teaching from learning. Teaching cannot produce or cause learning; measured learning progress of students cannot be regarded as an indicator for successful teaching. This approach resembles former existentialist ideas on education and teaching. In this critical review central elements of Biesta’s approach to teaching and teachers are presented and discussed in the light of other theories of classroom teaching.

The elemental composition of amino acids is similar to that of the major structural components of the epithelial cells of the small intestine and other tissues. Therefore, their subcellular localization and concentration measurements are not possible by x-ray microanalysis. Radioactive isotope labeling: I131-tyrosine, Se75-methionine and S35-methionine have been successfully employed in numerous absorption and transport studies. The latter two have been utilized both in vitro and vivo, with similar results in the hamster and human small intestine. Non-radioactive Selenomethionine, since its absorption/transport behavior is assumed to be the same as that of Se75- methionine and S75-methionine could serve as a compound tracer for this amino acid.

In his pioneering demonstration of the potential of freeze-etching in biological systems, Russell Steere assessed the future promise and limitations of the technique with remarkable foresight. Item 2 in his list of inherent difficulties as they then stood stated “The chemical nature of the objects seen in the replica cannot be determined”. This defined a major goal for practitioners of freeze-fracture which, for more than a decade, seemed unattainable. It was not until the introduction of the label-fracture-etch technique in the early 1970s that the mould was broken, and not until the following decade that the full scope of modern freeze-fracture cytochemistry took shape. The culmination of these developments in the 1990s now equips the researcher with a set of effective techniques for routine application in cell and membrane biology.Freeze-fracture cytochemical techniques are all designed to provide information on the chemical nature of structural components revealed by freeze-fracture, but differ in how this is achieved, in precisely what type of information is obtained, and in which types of specimen can be studied.

The Information SuperHighway, Email, The Internet, FTP, BBS, Modems, : all buzz words which are becoming more and more routine in our daily life. Confusing terminology? Hopefully it won't be in a few minutes, all you need is to have a handle on a few basic concepts and terms and you will be on-line with the rest of the "telecommunication experts". These terms all refer to some type or aspect of tools associated with a range of computer-based communication software and hardware. They are in fact far less complex than the instruments we use on a day to day basis as microscopist's and microanalyst's. The key is for each of us to know what each is and how to make use of the wealth of information which they can make available to us for the asking. Basically all of these items relate to mechanisms and protocols by which we as scientists can easily exchange information rapidly and efficiently to colleagues in the office down the hall, or half-way around the world using computers and various communications media. The purpose of this tutorial/paper is to outline and demonstrate the basic ideas of some of the major information systems available to all of us today. For the sake of simplicity we will break this presentation down into two distinct (but as we shall see later connected) areas: telecommunications over conventional phone lines, and telecommunications by computer networks. Live tutorial/demonstrations of both procedures will be presented in the Computer Workshop/Software Exchange during the course of the meeting.

Microtubules are involved in a number of forms of intracellular motility, including mitosis and bidirectional organelle transport. Purified microtubules from brain and other sources contain tubulin and a diversity of microtubule associated proteins (MAPs). Some of the high molecular weight MAPs - MAP 1A, 1B, 2A, and 2B - are long, fibrous molecules that serve as structural components of the cytamatrix. Three MAPs have recently been identified that show microtubule activated ATPase activity and produce force in association with microtubules. These proteins - kinesin, cytoplasmic dynein, and dynamin - are referred to as cytoplasmic motors. The latter two will be the subject of this talk.Cytoplasmic dynein was first identified as one of the high molecular weight brain MAPs, MAP 1C. It was determined to be structurally equivalent to ciliary and flagellar dynein, and to produce force toward the minus ends of microtubules, opposite to kinesin.

Chaperonins are a class of proteins characterized by their role as morphogenetic factors. They trantsiently interact with the structural components of certain biological aggregates (viruses, enzymes etc), promoting their correct folding, assembly and, eventually transport. The groEL factor from E. coli is a conspicuous member of the chaperonins, as it promotes the assembly and morphogenesis of bacterial oligomers and/viral structures.We have studied groEL-like factors from two different bacteria:E. coli and B.subtilis. These factors share common morphological features , showing two different views: one is 6-fold, while the other shows 7 morphological units. There is also a correlation between the presence of a dominant 6-fold view and the fact of both bacteria been grown at low temperature (32°C), while the 7-fold is the main view at higher temperatures (42°C). As the two-dimensional projections of groEL were difficult to interprete, we studied their three-dimensional reconstruction by the random conical tilt series method from negatively stained particles.
