Abstract Buna-S is an unsaturated polymer capable of undergoing vulcanization. This may be effected by the application of heat in the presence of sulfur. The process is accelerated by certain organic substances which are used widely for a similar purpose in natural rubber. Preliminary teats have indicated that most of them are applicable to Buna-S, and appear superior to any other chemicals yet investigated. This is fortunate in view of the present emergency, as plants for their manufacture already exist and the industry is familiar with their use. In spite of superficially similar effects, more careful study has indicated that it is an oversimplification to assume various accelerators will produce ideptical effects in both polymers. A wide range of materials is now available to the industry, and the task of accurately evaluating all of them is complex. In addition, an indefinite number of combinations are theoretically possible. The present investigation was undertaken to determine what effect different chemical types of organic accelerators were likely to have on properties of fundamental importance.

Transformation of medical education in Latvia is connected to new requirements which are focused on developing complex competences that have become especially important in specific and health threatening conditions of Covid-19 global pandemic. Qualitative use of specific and transversal competences is necessary for more complicated and autonomous dimensions of the nurses’ responsibilities. Uniting of the existing 2nd level of the professional education with the 1st level of higher education into common higher medical education frame is planned in order to make nurses’ certification easier, to improve employment, mobility and adaptability to the unexpected conditions as, for the example, the present emergency pandemic situation. The study in the doctoral thesis frame reveals that improvement of acquisition of the competences can be promoted by transforming educational documents and focusing on practice-based environment.
