O papel do património científico e pedagógico de G. Kamay na formação do interesse dos estudantes em química

The article presents the review of the use of scientific and pedagogical heritage of Gilm Khairevich Kamay (the representative of famous Kazan Chemistry School, Doctor of Chemical Sciences, Professor), for the development of schoolchildren interest in the study of chemistry. The urgency of this problem is determined by the need to use effective pedagogical and technological methods for activation the cognitive interest of students in chemistry, for better digestion of knowledge. The importance of this task is intensified as a result of the emerging contradictions between the increased theorization of school chemistry course, and the lack of close connection of the studied material with real life. The teacher has to use methodical methods for the formation of students' interest in chemistry, by means of realization the indispensible connection between learning and life. Information on the scientific and pedagogical activity of famous scientists, as the most important personal examples, should contribute to the growing interest of students in modern chemical disciplineEl artículo presenta la revisión del uso del patrimonio científico y pedagógico de Gilm Khairevich Kamay (el representante de la famosa Escuela de Química de Kazan, Doctor en Ciencias Químicas, Profesor), para el desarrollo del interés de los escolares en el estudio de la química.

Internet behavior and social stratification in a single-industry town: overcoming or perpetuating inequality?

The paper analyzes the use of the Internet by various property groups of a Russian single-industry town. According to the criterion of correlation of income with the subsistence minimum, five property groups are identified, and for each a description of socio-demographic characteristics and survival strategies is presented. Based on the concept of three levels of the digital divide, the relationship between economic and digital capital is studied. Conclusions and results were obtained on the basis of statistical data collected during a survey of 500 households in the town of Pavlovo, Nizhny Novgorod region, representing the model of a Russian single-industry town. The analysis reveals that the hypothesis of a strong correlation between social inequality and the digital divide is confirmed: the higher the level of material well-being of a family, the higher the level of its digital capital. At the same time, a characteristic feature of single-industry towns is a reduced level of material and property stratification between the allocated groups, due to the low resource content of the territory as a whole. The novelty of the study lies in obtaining results that characterize the relationship between the material security of the family and the level of its digital capital in a single-industry town. In this regard, the problems and prospects for the design and implementation of various programs aimed at reducing the digital divide in single-industry towns are identified. The results of the study can contribute to the improvement of the social management system and the implementation of the state social policy objectives in the accumulation of digital capital of various social groups of residents of single-industry towns as one of the factors for overcoming territorial socio-economic and cultural inequality in Russian society

Can Russia’s high mortality return until 2030 to trajectory of the 1980-ies and reach the SDGs evenly across the country?

  Aim: This study reviews the ability of the Russian Federation to reduce the high mortality until 2030 evenly across the country and in accordance with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). Methods: We adopted the method suggested by Haenszel for estimating Premature Years of Life Lost for the age group <70 years and applied a projected reduction of 33% by 2030 as proposed for SDG 3.4. To calculate the potential time gap we used the model of the United Nations Development Programme and standardized the rates by the OECD 1980 Standard Population employing the direct method.   Results: If Russia keeps the present level of effort the reduction by one third of the level of premature mortality as in 2013 will be in reach already in 2024 i.e. 5.9 years in advance of the SDG 3 target for 2030. This target is achieved quite evenly also throughout the 8 districts of the Russian Federation between 10.6 and 5.0 years in advance and in selected special districts/republics with the highest and lowest mortality rates.   Conclusion: After the steep decrease of life expectancy during the 1990ies the Russian Federation returned to the original trajectory.   Keywords: gap analysis, premature mortality, public health, Russian Federation, SDG.   Conflicts of interest: None declared.   Statement of Funding: None declared.   Note: Valery Chernyavskiy, Helmut Wenzel, Julia Mikhailova, Alla Ivanova, Elena Zemlianova, Vesna Bjegovic-Mikanovic, Alexander Mikhailov, Ulrich Laaser.

Successful reduction of premature mortality in the Russian Federation and the countries around the Baltic Sea working together on Health and Social Well-being

Context: The ‘Northern Dimension on Public Health and Social Well-being’ is a platform for dialogue and cooperation of countries around the Baltic Sea, established in 2003, guided by the Sustainable Development Goal 3 on Health and Social Well-being and the Strategy for the Baltic Sea Region of the European Union adopted in 2009. In this paper we determine the overall progress of the Russian Federation and its North West Federal Okrugin in particular, with regard to the reduction of mortality. Methods: For the purpose of inter-country comparison and progress over time we make use of age-standardised Potential Years of Life Lost (PYLL) applied to quantifiable strategic targets, the Sustainable Development Goal 3 on Health and Social Well-being and the European Union Strategy of the Baltic Sea Region. A gap analysis is performed to determine whether the target achievement is in delay or on track. Results: With reference to the baseline of 2009 – corresponding to the most relevant recent period 2009-2020 respectively 2009-2030 – the Russian Federation as a whole is on track achieving the two strategic targets in advance by 2.7 years. For the North West Federal Okrug around St. Petersburg and Kaliningrad bordering the Baltic Sea the target achievement is estimated to be 4.8 and 10.8 years in advance of the deadlines 2020 and 2030. In comparison to the Baltic Sea states the Russian Federation takes a middle position after Estonia, Latvia and Finland. The early target achievement is confirmed if the period 2003-2020 respectively 2003-2030 is considered. Conclusion: Although the region is progressing there may be a slowdown towards 2030. A careful analysis is required to determine to which degree the activities of the Partnership for Health and Social Well-being have contributed to the success and what should be proposed to increase the impact on premature mortality

Surfaces, depths and hypercubes: Meyerholdian scenography and the fourth dimension

An appreciation of Meyerhold’s engagement with theatrical space is fundamental to understanding his directorial and pedagogic practice. This article begins by establishing Meyerhold’s theoretical and practical engagement with theatre as a fundamentally scenographic process, arguing for a reconceptualisation of the director as ‘director-scenographer’. Focusing on the construction of depth and surface in Meyerholdian theatre, the article goes on to identify trends in the director’s approach to space, with an emphasis on the de-naturalisation of depth on stage. This denaturalisation is seen as taking three forms: the rejection of depth as a prerequisite in theatrical space, the acknowledgement of the two-dimensional surface as surface, and the restructuring of depth space into a series of restricted planes. The combination of these trends indicates a consistent and systematic process of experimentation in Meyerhold’s work. In addition, this emphasis on depth and surface, and the interaction between the two, also highlights the contextualisation of Meyerhold’s practice within the visual, philosophical and scientific culture of the early twentieth century, echoing the innovations in n-dimensional geometry and particularly, the model of the fourth spatial dimension seen in the work of Russian philosopher P. D. Ouspensky

Complete genome sequence of Meiothermus silvanus type strain (VI-R2).

Meiothermus silvanus (Tenreiro et al. 1995) Nobre et al. 1996 belongs to a thermophilic genus whose members share relatively low degrees of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity. Meiothermus constitutes an evolutionary lineage separate from members of the genus Thermus, from which they can generally be distinguished by their slightly lower temperature optima. M. silvanus is of special interest as it causes colored biofilms in the paper making industry and may thus be of economic importance as a biofouler. This is the second completed genome sequence of a member of the genus Meiothermus and only the third genome sequence to be published from a member of the family Thermaceae. The 3,721,669 bp long genome with its 3,667 protein-coding and 55 RNA genes is a part of the Genomic Encyclopedia of Bacteria and Archaea project
