Preparation for passing the GTO norms as an effective form of organizing extracurricular activities of adolescents

Extracurricular activities are of great importance in the implementation of the basic educational program of basic general education. It, like educational activity, is aimed at achieving the planned results, but unlike it, it is carried out outside the classroom system. Among the various directions of the extracurricular organization of the educational process, sports and recreation are of particular importance for modern children. In their article, the authors propose to use preparation for passing the GTO as an innovative form of extracurricular work and, based on the analysis of special literature, as well as their own practical observations, they prove that, under certain conditions and technology, preparation for passing the All-Russian physical culture and sports complex «Ready for Labor and Defense» (GTO) becomes an effective way of organizing extracurricular sports and recreation activities, Revealing the scientific and theoretical foundations of the organization of extracurricular sports and recreation activities in a general education school, the authors confirm that the introduction of children and young people to passing the RLD norms ensures the physical and moral improvement of adolescents.

Liquisolid Technology: Preparation, Characterization and Applications

With the advent of high throughput screening, drugs are emerging to be more lipophilic and less hydrophilic. Liquisolid Technology aims at solubility enhancement of such entities via cosolvency concept in a relatively minimalistic setup where there is no need of sophisticated machinery and is cost effective. It involves constituting a drug into molecular dispersion via a non-volatile solvent and then transforming it into a dry looking, free flowing compressible powder. This article aims at mapping Liquisolid Technology where its preparation techniques and potential applications are reviewed. An overview of the performance of Liquisolid in areas of dissolution enhancement, zero order release, photostability enhancement, liquipellets and its role in natural product formulations is recorded for a number of drugs. Keywords: Liquisolid, Dissolution Enhancement, Flowability, Compressibility, Cosolvency

Organizational support of BIM-technologies

Introduction. Building information modeling (BIM) is a modern approach to design and construction management. It can improve the efficiency of the construction production and quality of design documentation and accelerate business process flow. The paper discusses the problems of organizational supporting information transfer from one automated workplace to another down the technological chain of design and construction. Materials and methods. When creating a full line of software applications by the same developer, high speed and completeness of information transfer are ensured. In contrast, a universal data presentation is developed, that allows using different software at different stages. Many software manufacturers support the IFC-format (Industry Foundation Classes). Results. One of the life cycle support tasks is to obtain a scope worklist. Implementation of drawings using BIM-technology requires the internal discipline of designers and the significant preparatory work of the entire design company. The paper shows that the completeness of data transfer from one software to another using a universal format is not guaranteed. The detected problems confirm the need to create a universal classifier of building elements and construction activities. The suggested universal facet-hierarchical classifier contains five levels. However, it can be supplemented with technologies and a list of applied resources. Conclusions. One of the main prerequisites for the introduction of the BIM-technologies is a correct organization of design and construction activities. It is necessary to develop the classifications of project elements, to prepare drawing file templates, to create instructions for employees, to conduct personnel training, and to determine the data transfer routes. The project must be provided with allocated funds for technology preparation.

CURRENT STATE AND PROSPECTS OF THE IMPLEMENTATION OF PEDAGOGICAL TECHNOLOGY OF INDIVIDUAL WORK AND SELF-TRAINING OF FORENSIC EXPERTS

Experimental verification of the modern possibilities of introducing the technology of organization of individual work of students of the Educational and Scientific Institute (training of criminologists and experts). The verification of the effectiveness of the implementation of the technology of organizing the individual work of students (the formative stage of the pedagogical experiment) is realized by comparing the results of the educational activities of the experimental and control groups of the students. Key words: pedagogical technology, preparation of forensic experts, individual work, independent preparation.

Applicability of Measurements of Local Electrical Parameters in the Modeling of Technological Texture of Ceramic Blanks

The paper deals with the modeling of the technological texture of the pressed ceramic materials in the radial and axial direction, which consists in the graphical representation and subsequent analysis of the distribution of the electrostatic field potential differences on the surface of the dielectric sample with the diameter d and the thickness h located between the electrodes. In occasion of observing radial texture the electrodes have the cylindrical configuration and in occasion of observing the axial texture in the sample the electrodes have the axial configuration. The theoretical relationship in the paper is derived for the calculation of the voltage values measured at any position between the center electrode and the peripheral electrode, at a constant voltage U applied to the outer and inner electrodes of the dielectric sample of thickness h of the raw ceramic sample material (radial texture). Measurements have demonstrated the suitability of identifying the technological texture by measuring the potential differences on the sample surface which is located between the electrodes in the relation to the technology preparation and to the quality of the fired ceramic production.

Inclusive Education in Science Education

The purpose of this exploratory study was to investigate the extent to which science teachers use inclusive technologies in science classrooms. Participants for the study were 96 male and female science teachers from school districts in a midwestern state of the US. The results show that very few science teachers used technology for inclusive classrooms in science courses. In the study, one-third of teachers used and modeled either assistive or inclusive technology in science classrooms. Results indicate that science teachers need professional development due to lack of proper technology preparation, familiarity to inclusive technology. Findings in this study suggest that the extent science teachers use technology for inclusion in science classrooms needs to be addressed at teacher education levels including providing professional development courses on inclusiveness at school district levels. State standards should also discuss how inclusiveness must be addressed in the general education classrooms.

Project Engage

As the nation seeks to diversify the STEM workforce, looking toward the rural areas of the United States affords an opportunity to increase the flow of students into the STEM pipeline. However, rural students face many roadblocks on the way to STEM careers including poor educational attainment, lack of STEM experiences, few STEM role models, inadequate technology preparation, and low motivation to pursue STEM. This chapter explores those barriers and proposes Project Engage as an avenue for breaking down the barriers. The chapter identifies and explains the major components of Project Engage: strategic mentoring, STEM engagement activities, and guided career exploration. These combined components create a comprehensive framework for addressing the barriers imposed by the nature of growing up “rural.” Statistical data is presented that reveals an increase in recruitment of STEM majors as well as positive results of retention.
