Features of political manipulation of the value-worldview component of public consciousness

Today, the problem of political governance is one of the most important. There is an urgent need to create standards and institutions that would be effective and adequate to peculiarities of the contemporary society. One of the forms of socio-political governance is political manipulation of public consciousness. Modernization of the political system of society causes corresponding changes in the processes of management and manipulation. The influence on political consciousness and behavior is different at the traditional, modern and so-called postmodern stages of social development. The genesis of political manipulation of worldview values is the subject of this study. In the structure of political consciousness, which is a component of political culture, the value-worldview component is one of the most important. Values forms a motivational basis of political behavior. It is argued that values change in the predicted direction, and political manipulation could affect the value orientations of public consciousness. Analysis of the state of scientific development of the problem of political manipulation shows that the value-worldview component as an important component of political consciousness is poorly studied. The study of the peculiarities of political manipulation of the value component of political consciousness in the framework of this article is important, because the corresponding cultural dynamics affects the functioning of the political system

Multivariate analysis of salinity effects on mayfly distributions along a complex river continuum.

The association between the benthic community structure and the river gradient as described in the river continuum concept is evaluated in the saline stressed Washita River. Physical, chemical and biological variables were monitored at six sites in the river over 14 sampling periods during 1980 and 1981. Physical parameters represented stream discharge, sediment particle sizes, organic content of the sediment and related factors. Physical variables were measures of conductivity, pH and the major salts in the river (calcium, sulfate, sodium and chloride). Biological variables were subdivided into two groups of densities of mayfly genera from dredge samples and Dendy multiple-plate samplers, respectively. The Ephemeroptera represent one of the dominant groups of benthic insects in the river. The genera monitored provide a wide range of functional types (with respect to habitat selection, feeding preference and feeding modes).Benthic community structure is influenced by physical gradients in the river continuum. But saline effects, although governed by geomorphological processes, do not conform to the "typical" river gradient. This localized saline impact influences the benthic community structure. Therefore, the river continuum concept must be modified if it is to be useful in the generation of ecological models in regions with high land and river salinity.Two-dimensional ordinations were produced for the physical, chemical, dredge and Dendy groups of variables using the ALSCAL model of three-way nonmetric multidimensional scaling. The ALSCAL model summarizes variation over the 14 sampling periods. Scales were produced which represent river gradient effects and local effects for physical and chemical variables. Rank correlations of the dimensions from all ordinations suggest that both river gradient and local effects influence the structure of the benthic community. River gradient dimensions for physical and chemical variables are highly correlated with a dredge and a Dendy dimension. The remaining dredge dimension is correlated with local saline effects. The other Dendy dimension remains uncorrelated and may represent factors affecting colonization of Dendy samplers

Investigation of the problem of using blended learning models in the training of engineer-teacher

The relevance of the problem of using gadgets, computers and technologies in an information society environment arises for modern education in the context of training a highly qualified professional with a well-formed information culture, an educated creative personality of a future specialist with a formed outlook and critical thinking. The search and use of modern technologies of education in accordance with the needs of students and the requirements for professional training of specialists becomes quite understandable and relevant for the organization and activation of study at the university, the formation of a stable cognitive interest in future professional activity. The introduction of learning technologies, their constant search and improvement in the educational process, encourages future pedagogical engineers to innovate and to constantly improve themselves. The goal of the research is to theoretically substantiate the problem of introduction of mixed learning models and to study the effectiveness of certain models in the process of organizing educational activities of students of engineering and pedagogical specialties. The methodology is based on the analysis of the concept of blended learning; it can be established that it should be understood as a combination of traditional forms of classroom training with the elements of e-learning, which use special information and communication technologies. The learning process for blended learning is seen as alternating between traditional (classroom) and distance learning. In national pedagogical science, blended learning is defined as a complex concept that should not be reduced to exclusively distance learning, where the student receives virtually no assistance from the teacher, and to standard training, using various information and communication technologies. In the process of research, the most congruent needs of the modern needs of the educational process and professional training of engineers-educators of the blended learning model were highlighted: "Inverted class", "Station rotation", "Laboratory rotation", "Flexible model". The results of the introduction of blended learning models in the psychological and pedagogical training of students of engineering and pedagogical specialties, are positive changes in the academic success of students, increase of educational and cognitive activity and development of different competencies have been established, as indicated by the corresponding dynamics of the use of certain blended learning models. Originality deals with the problem of using blended learning models in the professional development of students of engineering and pedagogical specialties, which contributes to the formation of activity and creativity both in cognitive activity and in future employment. The practical value of the introduction of blended learning models in the professional training of engineers-educators is to develop knowledge, skills and competencies of independence, develops teacher and engineer-performer, communicative, organizational skills, creative and critical thinking

Thermal Management Solutions Using Electron Tunneling Through a Nano-Scale Vacuum Gap

Abstract. Requirements for cooling and power consumption in space platforms are subject to significantly greater constraints than the requirements for terrestrial applications. Existing cooling systems incorporate various mechanisms including thermoelectric (Peltier) cooling elements, radiative cooling, and phase-change compressor-based systems. This paper outlines an alternative mechanism currently in development called "thermotunneling". This mechanism exploits electron tunneling across a vacuum gap of ~10nm to effect a temperature differential with high efficiency. When complete, these devices ("Cool Chips") are expected to offer a compact, lightweight, low maintenance and highly efficient (in excess of 50% of Carnot Efficiency) thermal management solution ideally suited for the needs of aerospace applications
