As is well-known, the chemical knowledge is acquired at three levels: the macroscopic and tangible (what can be seen, touched and/or smelt); the sub-microscopic (atoms, molecules, ions and structures) and the representational (symbols, formulae, equations, mathematical manipulation, graphs etc.). In order to acquire real knowledge, all factors involved in the educational process (authors of textbooks, teachers, electronic sources of information and students) should do everything possible to avoid formation of school-made erroneous notions (misconceptions). Reported here are the findings of a study on the presence of students’ misconceptions regarding the three levels of representation in the chemistry teaching in the Republic of Macedonia. As our study showed, many school-made misconceptions are due to the fact that students do not distinguish between the three levels of think-ing/representation.

Nurses are required to undertake professional updating, PREP (UKCC, 1994), and are increasingly under pressure to ensure that they provide evidence-based healthcare (DoH, 1996). Proliferation of the literature, the move from printed to electronic sources of information and shortage of time may all be seen as barriers to nurses who wish to gain access to information to support these activities. Libraries are important gateways to this information and this article is a brief guide to making the most of library resources.

The transition from printed to electronic sources of information has resulted in a profound change to the way procurement officers seek information. Furthermore, in the past decade there have been additional technological revolutions that are expected to further affect the procurement process. In this paper, we conduct a survey among forty nine university procurement officers in Israel to examine to what extent procurement officers have adapted to smartphones and tablets by testing how frequently officers use notebooks, smartphones, and tablets for work-related and leisure purposes. We find that while officers prefer electronic sources of information over printed sources of information, officers have not yet adapted to the later technological advances (i.e., smartphones and tablets). Notebooks are more frequently used than either smartphones or tablets for work-related and leisure purposes. One explanation behind this result is that officers are not skilled in using smartphone and tablets applications. This implies that training officers in the use of these devices may improve their performance.

The current civil procedure legislation refers to information obtained from electronic sources of information as written evidence. At the same time, electronic evidence is not an independent means of proof. The purpose of this article is to study the possibility and necessity of allocating electronic evidence as independent means of proof. The traditional approach to understanding the electronic document is based on the participation of the person in the information interaction as the author of the document and its performer. At the same time, the electronic document is characterized by its (special) properties related to its creation, change, preservation. In addition, the authors draw attention to the existence of electronic documents that do not have a human-readable form but create, modify or terminate rights and obligations. The study also points to the possibility of self-participation of computer tools in information interaction. In the article, the authors propose to distinguish electronic evidence as an independent means of proof, and also justify the theoretical and practical necessity of this approach to the legal regulation of the procedure of proof in civil and arbitration proceedings (research, recording, evaluation of evidence from electronic sources).
