Authors: Newkirk Kim M. , Xiaocun Sun , Bailey Misty R.
Published: January 2020

Mock board exams are common in residency programs across many disciplines. However, the value of mock board results in predicting success on the actual certifying examination is largely anecdotal and undocumented. The University of Tennessee anatomic pathology residency program has a long history of giving mock board exams twice a year during the course of the 3-year diagnostic training program. The mock exams give residents a sense of the types of questions that may appear on the actual certifying examination. The resulting scores serve to help identify improvement areas to focus additional study. In addition, by providing residents the mental and physical experiences designed to mimic the test day, we hope to better prepare these trainees for optimal performance on the certifying examination. This study correlated mock board results of 16 anatomic pathology residents, from July 2006 through January 2016, with their subsequent performance on the certifying exam. The results of these biannual exams were significantly correlated ( p < .001) with results for the American College of Veterinary Pathologists Certifying Examination.

The article reveals one of the methods of activity of the subject of education, demonstrates a heuristic prescription, which it is advisable to use by drawing up a plan and solving many problems of stereometry, in particular, by a graphic or graphical-analytical method. This is an unconventional transformation within the stereometric body – “internal projection” – an imaginary spatial transformation that makes it easier for a binary image of the body to perpendicular to a straight line (or to a plane), the common perpendicular of two crossed straight lines, to postpone an angle with given degree measure, etc. There are conical and cylindrical internal projection. As a rule, the first of them is advisable to apply in the case of a pyramid and a cone, and the second – a prism and a cylinder. The plane of the projections and the direction of internal projection is chosen by the student. The success in obtaining the result depends on how successfully these two components of the projection apparatus are selected. If, for example, you need to build a common perpendicular of two intersecting straight lines (see task 1), then the essence is that the projection direction is parallel to one of them, and the projection plane is perpendicular to this straight line. Sometimes it happens that the plane of projections contains another straight line or is located in space parallel to the latter. Further, according to the statement of the theorem on the projection of a right angle, the segment of the common perpendicular and the right angle between it and the second straight line are projected onto the entered plane in full size. "Reverse projection" build the image of the desired common perpendicular. We have considered only examples where the plane of projections is the base of the stereometric body (tasks 1-3), and the direction of projection is perpendicular to the base Exception is the task 3, especially when the straight lines a, b and c intersect at their common point S projection. Keywords: stereometric body; picture; internal orthogonal projection; positional, metric tasks; constructive method.

In the information filled world, students need to pass a large amount of information and differentiate it in accordance to the requirements, necessities and preferences of the subjects of the educational process. That is why the dominant feature of educational and cognitive activity of the future mathematics teacher should be a deep knowledge and understanding of all mechanisms of the learning process, in particular adaptability – the achievement of the goal based on the use of a rational system of actions of teachers and students. One of the first technologies in education – programmed learning – appeared in the middle of the last century. The distinctive features of this technology are the clear formulation of the educational goal and the algorithm for its achievement. Another technology has its origins in the middle of the last century – it is a technology of advanced learning. The basic idea of this technology is to create a comfortable learning environment and conditions for successful learning. Both of these technologies are pedagogical technologies based on the electiveness of management and organization of the learning process. Independent work of students is of particular relevance in the process of preparation of future teachers, since they have to promote this kind of educational and cognitive activity in the work with future students in general secondary education institutions. Therefore, in the context of the study, the issue of organizing students; independent work on the basis of advanced technology using ICT was considered. In order to intensify the preparation of the future Mathematics teachers on the basis of effective independent work of students, it is proposed to modernize and adapt two known technologies for the student audience: advanced and programmed learning. The main idea is to open up online courses and other services (podcasts, interactive timeline, quest guides, etc.) for students to independently work on separate educational topics, ahead of their study in the classroom.

It is stated on the basis of the current research analysis that the foundation of the bases of analytical methods of research of physical systems and variation methods have remained outside the attention of methodological science and, therefore, coverage of methodological aspects of foundation the topic “Variation integral principle of stationary action” in teaching theoretical physics in pedagogical universities is relevant.Based on the fact that the mechanical state at each moment is clearly defined as a configuration system as well as velocities system, we introduce some arbitrary dynamic function of the system state that is connected to the coordinates and velocities of all material points and perhaps time. The value of this function at each point in time, we multiply by dt and integrate for a period of time : If we distract from the action of specified forces, and consider only the effect of superimposed ties, it is clear that without breaking the connection with the bodies which limit the movement of material points, the system from position 1 to position 2 during the same period of time could move a large number of close routes, which are not described by equations of motion, and answer only to the linkage equation. To set the criterion that distinguishes the real (direct) path of the system from all other kinematically possible (virtual) for given links, we determine the variation of the resulting integral and come to the conclusion that the actual motion of the mechanical system between two given positions q(t1) and q(t2) configuration space occurs along the trajectory for which the action functional S(q, t1, t2) acquires a stationary value, and, in addition, we obtain the Lagrange equation which, like Newton’s second law, is equations of motion. To consolidate the material, students are invited to consider the problem of the movement of the harmonic oscillator and determine the magnitude of the action between two points along the trajectory and along another close line between the same points. This technique allows students to form a sufficiently deep and stable understanding of this principle and gives an idea of the use of this principle to solve problems of mechanics, which are difficult to solve using only Newton’s laws. Key words: methods of teaching physics, variation principles, Lagrange equations, integral of action, future teachers of physics.

Published: January 2020

The process of designing new design objects, especially in the fashion industry, is extremely complex and multi-elemental, as it involves not only the mind, knowledge and skills of the artist, but also his inner feelings and observations. This process consists of a number of defined stages – from the idea-concept, through the formulation of tasks, the formation of the concept and the choice combined in a different sequence of techniques, means and methods of design to the implementation of the idea in life. The question of choice and application of one particular design method, or their complex, in each case under consideration, stands in front of the developer and requires him as an awareness of the design objectives and understanding of the possibilities of the used methods. To solve the creative problem of using traditional design methods does not give new interesting solutions. Therefore, it is important to activate the creative search, which is aimed at developing the students' creative thinking and intensifying the design process. It may be fruitful to study and put into practice, together with traditional empirical techniques, non-traditional methods, so-called technological techniques of creativity. These techniques can be successfully designed for the educational process in general and higher education. There are many different heuristic methods that can awaken students' initiative, reveal their individual creative abilities, develop the logic of thinking in a professional direction, regulate and intensify the process of creative search. Along with this, there is a need to develop methods of teaching the artistic design of students' clothing and adapt to the modern curricula of higher education institutions, to expand the experience of learning new pedagogical technologies. The task of scientists is to bring these methods closer to the needs of pedagogical practice. Key words: heuristic methods, heuristic training, methods of designing clothes, artistic designing of clothes, creative abilities.

The fundamentalization of mathematical preparation of future specialists at higher educational establishments (HEE), as the basis of their professional technical preparation, is a process of generalization of mathematical knowledge. This process should ensure the emphasis of the core of classical and applied mathematical disciplines, which guarantees further high-quality innovative professional preparation. A prerequisite for introduction of fundamentalization of mathematical preparation into the educational process of technical HEE is the presence of strong initial knowledge and creative abilities in elementary mathematics of future specialists. The article draws attention to the decrease in the level of mastering the school course of mathematics by modern entrants HEE for objective circumstances. The most characteristic shortcomings of modern school mathematical preparation are allocated. A number of necessary key abilities in elementary mathematics of technical HEE students are presented at the same time. The contradiction between the frequent lack of indicated key abilities of the first – year undergraduate students and requirements for having these abilities for successful mathematical preparation at the HEE under the conditions of fundamentalization is identifed. As a consequence, the introduction of a repetitive course of elementary mathematics at technical HEE is proposed. References of scientists to similar experience of higher schools of Europe and the USA are provided. The necessity of introduction of the principle of generalization of knowledge to the indicated repetitive course is proved. The authors present their own examples of generalized, creaive statement of certain aspects of the repetitive course of elementary mathematics as a result of the introduction of the principle of generalization of knowledge. In particular, the use of three schemes of solving of equations is proposed in the generalized presentation of the topic "Irrational equations” and recommendations for the use of these schemes are provided. Classification and summary of the main ideas on the solution of exponential equations are demonstrated. The urgency of the continuation of the research in terms of the development of the didactic basis of the generalized statement of the repetitive course of elementary mathematics and the creation of appropriate methodological support is noted. Key words: fundamentalization of mathematical preperation, generalization of knowledge, repetitive course of elementary mathematics, generalized statement.

The article analyzes the directions of application of cross-curricular links in the modern conditions of secondary school. The experience of integration of cross-curricular links in teaching of natural subjects is characterized. The importance of the use of computer technologies in teaching natural sciences is emphasized, given their specificity. It is suggested as alternative information and communication technologies to use mobile devices during the educational process to realize cross-curricular links as a way of forming cognitive autonomy of students. In this work the directions of realization of cross-curricular relations for teaching of natural sciences are analyzed. The author proposes tasks that can be used to establish cross-curricular links in natural-science lessons, and provides electronic resources that can be used to create cross-curricular tasks, and outlines ways to accomplish these tasks through mobile technology. The text justifies the difficulties faced by teachers in the implementation of cross-curricular links in the teaching of natural subjects, in particular due to the inconsistency of some topics of school curricula, lack of a base of theoretical and methodological materials for the creation of cross-curricular problems for natural subjects, etc. The article shows the positive impact of cross-curricular integration on natural science lessons to increase cognitive interest and formation of cognitive autonomy of students. It is noted that the development of cross-curricular content tasks that are appropriate to use in the educational process of natural sciences remains an urgent task. A promising area of research is the integration of cross-curricular linkages in the course of completing project tasks and participating in project activities, which has a positive impact on students' cognitive abilities. Further exploration will be achieved through cross-curricular links in the research, taking into account the capabilities of mobile devices, both built-in (camera, digital sensors) and external (mobile applications) for the formation of students' cognitive autonomy.

Relevance.The absence of a registered vaccine against G145R escape mutant determines the need to develop a drug for the prophylaxis of infectious hepatitis caused by the hepatitis B virus.

Theaimof the study was to evaluate the safety and reactogenicity of a new hepatitis B recombinant Bubo®-Unigep yeast vaccine in healthy volunteers.

Materials & Methods.To confirm the safety of the new trivalent Bubo®-Unigep vaccine, an open, single- center, nonrandomized clinical trial was conducted in healthy male volunteers at the clinical base of «Uromed» (Smolensk) according to the protocol developed by the contract research organization R&D Pharma.

Results and discussions.Safety and reactogenicity assessment was carried out throughout the study period. In the safety assessment, one adverse event was reported that was not related to the use of Bubo®-Unigep vaccine. No serious adverse events have been reported. There were no local reactions at the injection site throughout the observation period. The results indicate a high safety and areactogenicity of Bubo®-Unigep vaccine.

Conclusions:The confirmed safety and areactogenicity of a new Bubo®-Unigep vaccine in a phase I clinical trial allows to proceed to the next stage and to conduct a registration study in which immunogenicity, safety and reactogenicity will be studied during the full course of vaccination. The introduction of such a vaccine on the market will contribute to a more effective vaccination against those serotypes of the hepatitis B virus that are endemic and prevail in the Russian Federation. Due to the created complete immunity, the infection threshold rises and the number of cases of hepatitis B among the already vaccinated population decreases.
