Cellular biomechanics is an area of study that is receiving more attention as time progresses. The response of cells to their mechanical environment, including biomechanical stimuli, has far-reaching ramifications for the area of tissue engineering, especially for tissues designed to withstand mechanical loading (e.g. bone, cartilage, tendons and ligaments, and arteries). The effects of mechanical stimuli on cells are only recently being examined, and the potential role of mechanical stimuli in tissue engineering is still one that is largely ignored in the design of tissue engineering scaffolds. The relationship of mechanical properties of scaffolds or of mechanical stimuli to cell behavior is complex, but vital to the development of the field. Also, understanding the complex interplay of form and environment on cells involves an increase in our knowledge of how cells react to their total environment including mechanical stimuli and material properties. In order to improve tissue engineering outcomes, a nexus must be developed between the mechanical, biochemical, and biological studies of cellular behavior, in the context of extremely complex systems.

I present a personal view `on the role of astrophysicists and astronomers doing research in cultural astronomy. First, I discuss the definition of archaeoastronomy or cultural astronomy and its controversial interdisciplinary nature. I comment about the actual curricular problem of astrophysicists working in this topic and the difficult communication between astrophysicistsas well as other natural scientistsand archaeologists or anthropologists. I highlight the importance of accuracy in determining the orientation when mapping archaeological sites. Finally, I insist on the necessity of considering the celestial sphere as a part of the context of the archaeological sites, and that archaeoastronomy should be considered as a part of landscape archaeology.

This paper is intended to highlight some of the acute problems facing educators who are responsible for devising orthodontic curricula. A rational approach to future planning of educational objectives requires a realistic evaluation of the future professional role of today's students.

The transformed variants of the usual expressions, being expressive linguistic signs, have a dual nature, which is determined by the simultaneous ambiguity and elementary nature of their occurrence, as well as by the functioning in the process of the individual's speech-thinking activity. These constructions are manifested as a kind of interchangeable language complex, which promotes the transposition of complex, multidimensional phenomena of reality (informational, cognitive, cognitive, etc.) implementation plans) in the category of simplified, accessible, sometimes primitive, allowing the transformation of characters. In this situation, the question arises about such a concept as" archetype", which represents a specific focus of symbols, while being able to be interpreted ambiguously, since it is due to the dependence on a number of cultural, humanistic and other positions of the author, his intentions, etc. Archetype that generates the formation of a significant number of symbols, of course, regulates the principles of their Association, primarily on the basis of a common theme. The emergence of different degrees of expression is the result of the creative activity of the producer as an individual, correlating personal view of the world with the generally accepted. Actualization of such processes is carried out in the modern journalistic discourse, which is determined by the specifics of the media themselves: their efficiency in the reflection of events, large-scale distribution, multidirectional periodicals, language democracy, accessible presentation of the material, the constant search for expression, expression, evaluation, novelty of information and ways of its transmission. Priority use of certain phraseological transformations, their focus, paradigm of associative links are mostly determined by the author's goals and objectives in interaction with the General orientation of the periodical (ideological, information, age, etc.), but to a lesser extent - from the content of the described material. The author's formation of phraseological transformations, as well as the regulation of their semantic framework is characterized by the breadth and depth of associative links arising in his consciousness in the process of perception of expressive units and included in the discourse. For the modern reader, the role of the content of newspaper material is more important than for the publicist, who refers to newspaper material and the use of passionary signs in it as a means of attracting the attention of the most expanded readership not only to his newspaper in General, but also to this issue in particular, which ultimately actualizes the newspaper's iconic and borderline texts, performative in nature.

A typical feature of sinoatrial (SA) node pacemaker cells is the presence of an ionic current that activates upon hyperpolarization. The role of this hyperpolarization-activated current, , which is also known as the “funny current” or “pacemaker current,” in the spontaneous pacemaker activity of SA nodal cells remains a matter of intense debate. Whereas some conclude that plays a fundamental role in the generation of pacemaker activity and its rate control, others conclude that the role of is limited to a modest contribution to rate control. The ongoing debate is often accompanied with arguments from computer simulations, either to support one's personal view or to invalidate that of the antagonist. In the present paper, we review the various mathematical descriptions of that have been used in computer simulations and compare their strikingly different characteristics with our experimental data. We identify caveats and propose a novel model for based on our experimental data.

As his friend Niall Hobhouse claimed, Cedric Price ‘wasn’t really an architect, but a social critic to the left of the Left who stumbled on the post-war ruins of modernism’.1 The role of Price’s unbuilt legacy for Western architectural culture has been praised extensively, with a special emphasis on the unorthodox nature of both his practice and academic contributions.2 Succeeding generations have found inspiration in Price’s personal view of the architectural profession, his work being positioned often within radical and utopian approaches yet involving a committed social agenda. The social role of architecture was for Price tightly linked to the capacity of the built environment to be adapted by its users. Buildings should be understood as temporary commodities, malleable objects with a short lifespan dictated by their usefulness for the community. Conceived as infrastructures, unbuilt projects such as the famous Fun Palace, Potteries Thinkbelt, or Magnet were formulated as productive objects with a profound commitment for socially regenerating the contexts into which they were to be inserted.

In the article, the oeuvre of Sherkhan Murtaza are discussed in the context of the conceptual-figurative character of natural phenomena for the first time. The literary texts which have been previously studied in the context of various aspects have been analyzed in view of a new approach to the study of the artistic role of landscape. The landscape is considered to be a personal view of the world, reproduced by the writer, and in this regard, research along this cognitive line. As exemplified in the novels of “Aisha”, “Black Pearl”, and “Red Arrow” by Sherkhan Murtaza, the parallels of landscape sketches with the author’s intention are analyzed, resulting in uncovering of artistic concepts of earth, sky, fire, and water. A general idea of the concept-forming role of the artistic landscape in the poetry of Sh. Murtaza was systematized and formed.
