Polish Botanical and Mycological Research in Eastern Carpathians up to 1918. An Outline As shown in the presented material, the contribution of Polish botanists into a scientific research on flora and fungi of Eastern Carpathians up to 1918 was significant. In spite of very limited funds, extremely difficult and undeveloped terrain and difficulties in organising fieldwork, a more or less advanced research had been conducted. They resulted in the publication of some high level scientific papers usually printed in the journals of the Cracow Scientific Society and then the Academy of Learning. The input of the Botanical Section of the Physiographical Commission of the Academy of Learning should be underlined as well. Researchers related to those institutions have greatly enhanced the knowledge of plants and fungi of the discussed region, thus vastly contributing to both Polish and European academic achievement. It should also be noted that except for Polish researchers, the issue of botanic research in Eastern Carpatians within the discussed period has also been dealt with by foreign academics from: Austria, Germany, Hungary.

In the context of the technique and technological process development, the scientific research must resolve the different problem referring to what things are correct or non to do in the documentation, interpretation and communication of the knowledge, what principles have to be respect in every research activity. Our paper is a small empirical research. It presents the problems liked by the ethical principles, attitudes and values that must be respect in all activities of research. Our study starts from the premise that the objectivity in the history research and the critical spirit, historical thinking are developed by the ethics. The paper proposes some methodological aspects for develop the research in the history field by the ethical principles, attitudes and values Some of them can be used by the students and teachers in the training and teaching activities in the history field.

The article is written in tribute to the memory of a colleague who died prematurely, a talented scientist-orientalist Hasankhan Mirzamagomedovich Mirzamagomedov. Special attention is paid to his scientific works and teaching activities. G. M. Mirzamagomedov left behind unique scientific research devoted to the most complex issues of critical study of Arabic historical documents. He developed the concept of studying epistolary documents, introduced a large number of written sources in Arabic, which contributed to the illumination of dark spots in the history of Dagestan in the XVIII-early XIX centuries. G. M. Mirzamagomedov devoted many years of his life to teaching at Dagestan state University, taught classes in the Arabic language and historical disciplines, and trained a large number of Arab specialists. In addition to his unique scientific works, he published educational manuals for students of Oriental studies. The article notes the demand for the works of G. M. Mirzamagomedov and the need for their publication.

Abstract Introduction: As detailed in the 2018 ACGME Common Program Requirements statement for fellowship institutions, “The physician is a humanistic scientist who cares for patients. This requires the ability to think critically, evaluate the literature, appropriately assimilate new knowledge, and practice lifelong learning.” Endocrinology fellowship programs are tasked with the expectation of creating an environment that fosters scholarly pursuit. It is under the discretion of each program to consider its institutional resources and community needs in order to meet this ACGME requirement.1 With the goal of enhancing trainee scholarly activity, our fellowship program created a Scholarly Activity Curriculum in 2017. The core curriculum pillars include delineating a yearly timeline of objectives and expectations, facilitating regular individual mentoring, permitting allotment of protected time, and advocating involvement in faculty scholarship and national conferences. Objective: To assess the impact of the 2017 Endocrinology Fellowship Scholarly Activity Curriculum with respect to its ability to increase trainee scholarship. Methods: The scholarly activities of the fellowship classes of 2017-2020 were extracted from archived Fellow Scholarly Activity Update presentations and exit-interview curricula vitae. The activities were categorized as conference presentations (oral/poster), basic scientific research, clinical scientific research, quality improvement, book chapters, review articles, case reports, and teaching activities. With the 2017 and 2018 classes representing the pre-curriculum study group and the 2019 and 2020 classes representing the post-curriculum study group, the number of activities per study group per scholarly category were tabulated and compared. Results: An increase in scholarly activity was noted in five of the delineated categories: conference presentations (80%), clinical scientific research (86%), review articles (100%), case reports (100%), and teaching activities (38%). The remaining three categories of basic scientific research, quality improvement, and book chapters showed no change. Conclusions: The implementation of the 2017 Endocrinology Fellowship Scholarly Activity Curriculum was associated with a rise in trainee scholarly activity. Four of eight categories showed an 80% or more increase. Interestingly, the fellows involved in basic scientific research both pre and post-curriculum implementation were limited to those in the Specialty Training and Advanced Research (STAR) Program. Finally, identifying the need to increase involvement in quality improvement research, our program has implemented a 2019 Quality Improvement Curriculum. 1Common Program Requirements (Fellowship).

The issue of defining concepts and developing terminology is fundamental in any science. Definitions and terms influence the final results of research. Currently, a large number of diverse approaches to the interpretation of the concept of “economic security” are presented in the scientific literature, while the content of each analyzed term reflects one or another approach of the author. Given the dynamic growth of objective interest in the requirements and practical aspects and issues of ensuring economic security, the systematization and development of the methodological apparatus for ensuring economic security, according to the authors, is a priority of scientific research. The results of a study on the substantiation of a methodological approach to conducting a terminological analysis of key concepts on the example of the maxim "economic security" are presented. This approach offers a five-step gradation of terminological constructions and allows you to highlight the key factors that most fully and accurately characterize the concept of economic security, as well as give an author's definition that meets the criteria of significance. The methodological approach is universal and can be used for terminological analysis of scientific categories both in the field of economic security and in other scientific fields.

If we make a set of measurements, such as narrow-band or multicolour photo-electric measurements, which are designed to improve a scheme of classification, and in particular if they are designed to extend the number of dimensions of classification, i.e. the number of classification parameters, then some important problems of analytical procedure arise. First, it is important not to reproduce the errors of the classification scheme which we are trying to improve. Second, when trying to extend the number of dimensions of classification we have little or nothing with which to test the validity of the new parameters.Problems similar to these have occurred in other areas of scientific research (notably psychology and education) and the branch of Statistics called Multivariate Analysis has been developed to deal with them. The techniques of this subject are largely unknown to astronomers, but, if carefully applied, they should at the very least ensure that the astronomer gets the maximum amount of information out of his data and does not waste his time looking for information which is not there. More optimistically, these techniques are potentially capable of indicating the number of classification parameters necessary and giving specific formulas for computing them, as well as pinpointing those particular measurements which are most crucial for determining the classification parameters.

Abstract. Although the development of research competency is an important goal of higher education in social sciences, instruments to measure this outcome often depend on the students’ self-ratings. To provide empirical evidence for the utility of a newly developed instrument for the objective measurement of social-scientific research competency, two validation studies across two independent samples were conducted. Study 1 ( n = 675) provided evidence for unidimensionality, expected differences in test scores between differently advanced groups of students as well as incremental validities over and above self-perceived research self-efficacy. In Study 2 ( n = 82) it was demonstrated that the competency measured indeed is social-scientific and relations to facets of fluid and crystallized intelligence were analyzed. Overall, the results indicate that the test scores reflected a trainable, social-scientific, knowledge-related construct relevant to research performance. These are promising results for the application of the instrument in the evaluation of research education courses in higher education.
