The phenomenon of "global education space" as an object of scientific-pedagogical research
Authors: Avshenyuk Natalia 
Published: May 2014

ABSTRACT
The characteristics of global education space as a social idea of creating a system of measures to ensure the right for education to any individual as well as its converting, that is recognition regardless of the nationality and country of study; and as a specific area of human activity, which forms the internal and external environment for individual development; and as a product of a developing educational thought, the semantic side of which contains the universal interests in education, have been represented. Global education space has been defined as a part of the global social space that brings together business and education facilities within the Earth coordinates to represent the institutional forms of education and informal structures that are directly or indirectly involved in this process and, secondly, educational products (concepts, educational standards, teaching of traditional and innovative type), reflecting the goals, values, principles, content and other information about education, and examines the interaction and influence on education rights. Global education space is developed in parallel with the development of the world economy and has center-peripheral structure. To our mind, Australia, UK, Canada and the United States which we selected to make a detailed analysis in the study of trends in transnational higher education on a number of key features, belong to the “center” of global education space.
Comparative analysis of western and domestic practice of interactive method application in teaching social and political disciplines at the universities
Authors: Hladka Halyna 
Published: May 2014

ABSTRACT
The comparative analysis of western and domestic practice of introducing active and interactive methods of studies in the process of teaching social science disciplines has been carried out. Features, realities, prospects and limitations in application of interactive methods of teaching in the process of implementing social-political science courses at Institutes of higher education have been analyzed in western and domestic pedagogical practice. Comparison of western and domestic pedagogical practice in a greater degree demonstrates the presence of numerous failings in the domestic system of education. These failings demonstrate obvious impossibility to inculcate interactive methods on the basis of western standards. However through these negative aspects it is possible to notice structural lines peculiar to domestic Institutes of higher education. At all negative loading these limitations in domestic educational realities at the nearest consideration have positive influence. Measures on optimization of introducing interactive technologies at domestic Institutes of higher education have been offered. Today interactive methods are «difficult» both for realization by a domestic teacher and for the perception by a modern student. The main point of the research is the refusal from traditional subject-object forms of lessons and transition to common work of a teacher and a student as the main tendency of developing methods of teaching social and political disciplines at the universities
INTERNATIONAL COMPARISONS IN THE IMPROVEMENT OF EDUCATION
Authors: Hebert David G. 
Published: May 2014

ABSTRACT
Imperfections - such as inequality and inefficiency of learning - are perennial problems for education despite a diversity of foundations on which national systems are established, which range from the idealistic vision of fostering a utopian society to the utilitarian objective of producing skilled workers capable of engendering economic growth. Despite sharing many common conditions and fundamental values, educators rarely learn valuable lessons from the successes and failures of highly relevant initiatives in distant nations. This problem may be attributed to several factors, not the least of which includes the entrenchment of local traditions and ethnocentric assumptions, but surely the quality and relevance of international-comparative research - and the way its results are disseminated - are issues that must also be taken into careful consideration. What are the unique lessons to be learned from international comparisons, and what are the prospective risks for how such comparisons may be misinterpreted and misused in educational settings? How can international comparative research be made more relevant, with tangible applications that may be recognized and effectively used by school teachers? How can international comparative education meaningfully examine subjects beyond the reach of standardized testing, in such domains as the fostering of creativity, talent, and ethical sensibilities, for example? These themes will be presented through discussion of both research findings and anecdotes from the personal experience of working for universities on four continents. Specific topics will include the challenges of accounting for conceptual equivalency and representing cultural differences, sampling and generalizability, reconciling the diverging aims of economic, anthropological, sociological, and psychological research, as well as grappling with the ambivalent discourse of globalization, multiculturalism, post-colonialism, and other social movements.
ON ORGANIZING EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITY OF THE FUTURE TEACHING COACHES
Authors: Svatyev Andrey Vyacheslavovich 
Published: May 2014

ABSTRACT
In didactics of higher education institution’s scientists reveal the forms of learning process organisation and the forms of teaching students through the ways of the interaction between the teacher and their students when solving didactic tasks. They are revealed by means of different ways of activity management, communication, interpersonal relations. The content of education, educational technologies, styles, principles, methods and teaching aids etc. are realized in them. The analysis of the Ukrainian studies and publications of the decade (A. M. Aleksyuk, Y. Y. Bolyubash, A. A. Vasilyuk, V. I. Bondar, V. A. Semichenko and others) gives reasons to state that unfortunately we observe the substitution of two notions: the form of organization and the form of teaching, as well as narrowing the notion “teaching of students”.

Published: May 2014

Abstract
The aim of the work is oriented towards the simulation or modeling of the lumbar and thoracic human spine as a load-bearing 3D system in a computer program (ANSYS). The human spine model includes a determination of the geometry based on X-ray pictures of frontal and lateral projections. For this reason, another computer code, BMPCOORDINATES, was developed as an aid to obtain the most precise and realistic model of the spine. Various positions, deformations, scoliosis, rotation and torsion can be modelled. Once the geometry is done, external loading on different spinal segments is entered; consequently, the response could be analysed. This can contribute a lot to medical practice as a tool for diagnoses, and developing implants or other artificial instruments for fixing the spine.
Evaulation of the Quality of an Aquatic Habitat on the Drietomica River

Published: May 2014

Abstract
The ecological status of a river is influenced by many factors, of which the most important are fauna and flora; in this paper they are defined as a habitat. During the years 2004, 2005, 2006 and 2011, research on the hydroecological quality of a habitat was evaluated in the reference section of the Drietomica River. Drietomica is a typical representative river of the Slovak flysch area and is located in the region of the White Carpathians in the northwestern part of Slovakia. In this article the results of modeling a microhabitat by means of the Instream Flow Incremental Methodology (IFIM) are presented. For the one-dimensional modeling, the River Habitat Simulation System (RHABSIM) was used to analyse the interaction between a water flow, the morphology of a riverbed, and the biological components of the environment. The habitat ´s hydroecological quality was evaluated after detailed ichthyological, topographical and hydro-morphological surveys. The main step was assessing the biotic characteristics of the habitat through the suitability curves for the Brown trout (Salmo trutta m. fario). Suitability curves are a graphic representation of the main biotic and abiotic preferences of a microhabitat´s components. The suitability curves were derived for the depth, velocity, fish covers and degree of the shading. For evaluating the quality of the aquatic habitat, 19 fish covers were closely monitored and evaluated. The results of the Weighted Usable Area (WUA = f (Q)) were evaluated from a comprehensive assessment of the referenced reach of the Drietomica River.

:In this paper, the influence of speech act theory and Grice’s the- ory of conversational implicature on the study of argumentation is discussed. First, the role that pragmatic insights play in van Eemeren and Grootendorst’s pragma-dialectical theory of argumentation and Jackson and Jacobs’ conver- sational approach to argumentation is described. Next, a number of examples of recent work by argumentation scholars is presented in which insights from speech act theory play a prominent role.
Without Qualification: An Inquiry Into the Secundum Quid
Authors: Botting David 
Published: May 2014

Abstract
In this paper I will consider several interpretations of the fallacy of secundum quid as it is given by Aristotle in the Sophistical Refutations and argue that they do not work, one reason for which is that they all imply that the fallacy depends on language and thus fail to explain why Aristotle lists this fallacy among the fallacies not depending on language (extra dictione), amounting often to a claim that Aristotle miscategorises this fallacy. I will argue for a reading that preserves Aristotle’s categorization by a quite different account of how qualifications function.
Theoretical Investigation of Traffic Equilibrium on Bridges
Authors: Bede Zsuzsanna , Torok Adam 
Published: May 2014

Abstract
Road traffic flows on a straight road segment such as bridges are modelled in this article. The mathematical model of traffic flows has been constructed by using the method of lumped parameters. Changeable lane direction and road pricing has been theoretically investigated in order to understand the shifting in supply and/or demand curves of traffic participants in equilibrium. The article presents assumptions for constructing the mathematical model. Demand can be influenced by road pricing, in its turn, supply can be influenced by extension of infrastructure with reversible lanes.

The Study of Age-Related Variability of Pigmentation Patterns of the Shells of Dreissena Polymorpha (Bivalvia, Dreissenidae) from Different Parts of It's Range
Authors: Pavlova V. V. 
Published: May 2014

Abstract
The Study of Age-Related Variability of Pigmentation Patterns of the Shells Dreissena polymorpha (Bivavia, Dreissenidae) from Different Parts of it's Range. Pavlova, V. V. - Traditionally, shells of Dreissena polymorpha Pallas, 1771 mussels are studied as a whole by the investigation of population variability of coloration. However, shell surface is divided into zones by the lines of growth delay called annual rings, and mussel shell coloration is an array of patterns in the consequent age zones. In the present paper traditional term “pattern type” is expanded by its relation to definite shell zone; pattern types change along with annual ring formation. Th e pattern is considered not as a holistic feature but rather a sequence of states realized during the mussel’s growth. Frequencies of some pattern types showed to be age dependent. Geographic variability of pattern sequences was found. High diversity of pattern sequences’ arrays observed in populations may reflect wide adaptation potential of zebra mussels.

AbstractDuring the 2011 Eastern Pacific Emitted Aerosol Cloud Experiment (E‐PEACE) and 2013 Nucleation in California Experiment (NiCE) field campaigns, a predominantly organic aerosol (> 85% by mass) was observed in the free troposphere over marine stratocumulus off the coast of California. These particles originated from a densely forested region in the Northwestern United States. The organic mass spectrum resolved by positive matrix factorization is consistent with the mass spectra of previously measured biogenic organic aerosol. Particulate organic mass exhibits a latitudinal gradient that corresponds to the geographical distribution of vegetation density and composition, with the highest concentration over regions impacted by densely populated monoterpene sources. Due to meteorological conditions during summer months, cloud‐clearing events transport aerosol from the Northwestern United States into the free troposphere above marine stratocumulus. Based on the variation of meteorological variables with altitude, dry air containing enhanced biogenic organic aerosol is shown to entrain into the marine boundary layer. Fresh impacts on cloud water composition are observed north of San Francisco, CA which is consistent with fresh continental impacts on the marine atmosphere at higher latitudes. Continental aerosol size distributions are bimodal. Particles in the 100 nm mode are impacted by biogenic sources, while particles in the ∼ 30 nm mode may originate from fresh biogenic emissions. Continental aerosol in the 100 nm mode is cloud condensation nuclei active and may play a role in modulating marine stratocumulus microphysics.

AbstractOil palm plantation expansion into tropical forests may alter physical and biogeochemical inputs to streams, thereby changing hydrological function. In West Kalimantan, Indonesia, we assessed streams draining watersheds characterized by five land uses: intact forest, logged forest, mixed agroforest, and young (<3 years) and mature (>10 years) oil palm plantation. We quantified suspended sediments, stream temperature, and metabolism using high‐frequency submersible sonde measurements during month‐long intervals between 2009 and 2012. Streams draining oil palm plantations had markedly higher sediment concentrations and yields, and stream temperatures, compared to other streams. Mean sediment concentrations were fourfold to 550‐fold greater in young oil palm than in all other streams and remained elevated even under base flow conditions. After controlling for precipitation, the mature oil palm stream exhibited significantly greater sediment yield than other streams. Young and mature oil palm streams were 3.9°C and 3.0°C warmer than the intact forest stream (25°C). Across all streams, base flow periods were significantly warmer than times of stormflow, and these differences were especially large in oil palm catchments. Ecosystem respiration rates were also influenced by low precipitation. During an El Niño–Southern Oscillation‐associated drought, the mature oil palm stream consumed a maximum 21 g O2 m−2 d−1 in ecosystem respiration, in contrast with 2.8 ± 3.1 g O2 m−2 d−1 during nondrought sampling. Given that 23% of Kalimantan's land area is occupied by watersheds similar to those studied here, our findings inform potential hydrologic outcomes of regional periodic drought coupled with continued oil palm plantation expansion.
3‐D inversion of gravity data in spherical coordinates with application to the GRAIL data
Authors: Liang Qing , Chen Chao , Li Yaoguo 
Published: May 2014

AbstractThree‐dimensional (3‐D) inversion of gravity data has been widely used to reconstruct the density distributions of ore bodies, basins, crust, lithosphere, and upper mantle. For global model of 3‐D density structures of planetary interior, such as the Earth, the Moon, or Mars, it is necessary to use an inversion algorithm that operates in the spherical coordinates. We develop a 3‐D inversion algorithm formulated with specially designed model objective function and radial weighting function in the spherical coordinates. We present regional and global synthetic examples to illustrate the capability of the algorithm. The inverted results show density distribution features consistent with the true models. We also apply the algorithm to a set of lunar Bouguer gravity anomaly derived from the Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory (GRAIL) gravity field and obtain a lunar 3‐D density distribution. High‐density anomalies are clearly identified underlying lunar basins, a wide region of the lateral density heterogeneities that exist beneath the South Pole‐Aitken basin are found, and low‐density anomalies are distributed beneath the Feldspathic Highlands Terrane on the lunar far‐side. The consistency of these results with those obtained independently from other existing methods verifies the newly developed algorithm.
Is there an influence of modern life style on skeletal build?
Authors: Scheffler Christiane , Hermanussen Michael 
Published: May 2014

ObjectivesModern human life style has led to significant decrease in everyday physical activity and bipedal locomotion. It has previously been shown that skeletal robustness (relative elbow breadth) is associated with daily step counts. The aim of the study was to investigate whether also other skeletal measures, particularly pelvic breadth may have changed in recent decades.MethodsWe re‐analyzed elbow breadth, pelvic breadth (bicristal), and thoracic depth and breadth, of up to 28,975 healthy females and 28,288 healthy males aged 3–18 years from cross‐sectional anthropological surveys performed between 1980 and 2012 by the Universities of Potsdam and Berlin, Germany.ResultsRelative elbow breadth (Frame index) significantly decreased in both sexes since 1980 (<0.001). The trend toward slighter built was even more pronounced in absolute and relative pelvic breadth. In contrast, equivalent changes of parts of the skeletal system that are not involved in bipedal locomotion such as thoracic breadth, thoracic depth, and the thoracic index were absent.ConclusionsThe present investigation confirms the decline in relative elbow breadth in recent decades. Analogue, but even more pronounced changes were detected in pelvic breadth that coincides with the modern decline in upright locomotion. The findings underscore the phenotypic plasticity of humans while adapting to new environmental conditions. Am. J. Hum. Biol. 26:590–597, 2014. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

BackgroundThe purpose of this work was to study the demographics and survival of patients diagnosed with sinonasal adenocarcinoma (SNAC) within the time period of 1973 to 2009 using the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Result (SEER) database.MethodsA retrospective cohort study using the U.S. National Cancer Institute's SEER registry was performed to study the demographics and survival for SNAC from 1973 to 2009. Analysis was conducted based on race, gender, and stage.ResultsIn total, 1270 cases of SNAC were analyzed for demographics and survival. Males accounted for 51.6% of cases, while females accounted for 48.4% of cases, amounting to a male to female ratio of 1.06:1.00. Disease specific survival at 5, 10, 15, and 20 years was 65.2%, 50.9%, 40.9%, and 36.5%, respectively. When analyzed by gender, females had higher survival than males, although this difference was not statistically significant. When analyzed by race, the category of other, which encompasses American Indian, Asian, Hispanic, and unknown or unspecified race, was shown to have the best survival, followed by whites and blacks, respectively.ConclusionSNAC is a rare tumor classically associated with occupational exposure and carries a variable prognosis. This is the first dedicated large‐scale, retrospective analysis of a North American SNAC population. SNAC appears to affect both males and females equally and predominantly affects whites. Patients categorized as other had significantly better survival outcomes, while gender appeared to have no significant effect on survival.
