A lyceum catechist of a provincial town in the conditions of the education system reformation in the Russian Empire of the 19^th - early 20^th centuries: Prosopographic reconstruction

© 2015 by the author(s). The importance of the research is caused by the significance of institutional history issues in modern history research, i.e. functioning of educational systems as a special field of interaction of state and society, various public institutions, science, an individual and generations (teachers and students). The purpose of the article is to determine the position of the lyceum catechist in a secular educational environment based on research of a particular era (19th - early 20th centuries) and a specific region (Kazan as a typical provincial center of the Russian Empire). The main methodology of the research has become the prosopography method used to create the collective biographies by identifying a specific group of persons related to a common field and interests, representing a corporate community (in this case - the Orthodox Church), implemented by the responses to the same questions. In the research, the authors obtained results showing a unique position of a lyceum catechist in the Russian Empire of specified period who belonged simultaneously to two corporations - the clergy of the Orthodox Church and members of the educational community of secular secondary education. The requirements of each of these corporations to be met by their members often came into conflict between particular individuals. These circumstances have contributed to the deepening crisis of religious education in secular educational environment of the Russian Empire. The results presented in the article may be useful for the studies within the institutional history of education and the church, as well as for modern Russian discussions about the place of religion in a secular educational environment

The influence of forms of insurance coverage organization on population's life quality

© 2014, Mediterranean Center of Social and Educational Research. All rights reserved. Social insurance is essential for the development of population's quality of life because it fulfils social functions such as low- income citizens support; and economic functions such as the renewal of human resources; the development of the voluntary insurance market due to the increase in effective demand. For historical reasons, there are different types of correlation between compulsory social and voluntary insurance. These types depend on the stage of the development of national economies of countries, as well as from the historically formed principles of social security. Each type has its own purposes, negative and positive sides. Furthermore, we should not forget the specific features of each national economy

Aspectos gerais de estudos regionais e tecnologias de facilitação no estudo de criações de pintores renomados e escritores destacados

The article deals with landscapes of painter I.I. Shishkin (1832–1898) and XIX century writer, poet and journalist D.I. Stakheev (1840–1918) as part of general regional studies. The research is based on the possibility of correlation of the main and regional educational components in school and college literary regional studies; on the analytical technologies based on comparative contextual analysis of literary works and canvases. Among the most productive methods there is an analysis of cross-cutting subject matters, motives and images. Literary works of D.I. Stakheev and paintings of I.I. Shishkin are viewed as part of their life, work and friendly interaction. Taking into account the fact that these cultural figures lived and worked in Yelabuga we may include historical, biographical, literary and analytical records into the so-called regional component of literary and general cultural education content. However, a special interest for us is in the possibility of combining two planes: local literature and painting of a particular region and “serious” literature and “high” art of all-Russian and even global scale. Among other things the article presents facilitation technology effectively ensuring high level of research projects implementation due to three components: speed, creativity and efficiency. Detailed consideration is given to “World Café” and “Trade Show” models which are recommended for use both for study of the creative workers life and work and for handling information about their work.El artículo trata sobre los paisajes del pintor I.I. Shishkin (1832–1898) y escritor, poeta y periodista del siglo XIX D.I. Stakheev (1840–1918) como parte de estudios regionales generales. La investigación se basa en la posibilidad de correlación de los componentes educativos principales y regionales en los estudios regionales literarios escolares y universitarios; En las tecnologías analíticas basadas en análisis comparativos contextuales de obras literarias y lienzos. Entre los métodos más productivos se encuentra un análisis de temas, motivos e imágenes transversales. Obras literarias de D.I. Stakheev y pinturas de I.I. Los shishkin son vistos como parte de su vida, trabajo e interacción amistosa. Teniendo en cuenta el hecho de que estas figuras culturales vivieron y trabajaron en Yelabuga, podemos incluir registros históricos, biográficos, literarios y analíticos en el llamado componente regional del contenido de la educación literaria y cultural en general. Sin embargo, un interés especial para nosotros radica en la posibilidad de combinar dos planos: la literatura local y la pintura de una región en particular y la literatura "seria" y el arte "alto" de toda escala rusa e incluso global. Entre otras cosas, el artículo presenta tecnología de facilitación que garantiza un alto nivel de implementación de proyectos de investigación debido a tres componentes: velocidad, creatividad y eficiencia. Se da una consideración detallada a los modelos "World Café" y "Trade Show", que se recomiendan tanto para el estudio de la vida y el trabajo de los trabajadores creativos como para el manejo de la información sobre su trabajo.O artigo trata das paisagens do pintor I.I.

Acid Sensitive Ion Channels as Target of Hydrogen Sulfide in Rat Trigeminal Neurons

© 2016, Springer Science+Business Media New York.Hydrogen sulfide (H2S), an endogenous gasotransmitter, was proposed to act as a signaling molecule in a wide variety of pathophysiological processes including inflammation and nociception. Acid-sensing ion channels (ASICs) are voltage-insensitive, proton-gated cation channels activated by extracellular acidosis, and are involved in various pathologies of the nervous system including ischemia, stroke, and migraine. In this study, the effect of the H2S donor-sodium hydrogen sulfide (NaHS) on the firing of trigeminal (TG) nerve was explored using suction electrode recordings in peripheral branches of the TG nerve in isolated rat meninges, and patch clamp recordings of ASIC currents in isolated TG neurons. NaHS (100 μM) increased the action potential frequency of TG nerve and bath application of NaHS increased the amplitude of ASIC currents triggered by focal application of low pH solution on isolated TG neurons. We propose that activation of ASICs by H2S during chronic inflammation process contributes to the increased excitability of the TG system and may be implicated in the generation of nociceptive firing underlying migraine pain

Homocysteine augments BK channel activity and decreases exocytosis of secretory granules in rat GH3 cells

© 2016 Federation of European Biochemical SocietiesIn this study, we investigated the effects of L-homocysteine (Hcy) on maxi calcium-activated potassium (BK) channels and on exocytosis of secretory granules in GH3 rat pituitary-derived cells. A major finding of our study indicates that short-term application of Hcy increased the open probability of oxidized BK channels in inside-out recordings. Whole-cell recordings show that extracellular Hcy also augmented BK currents during long-term application. Furthermore, Hcy decreased the exocytosis of secretory granules. This decrease was partially prevented by the BK channel inhibitor paxilline and fully prevented by N-acetylcysteine, a reactive oxygen species scavenger. Taken together, our data show that elevation of cellular Hcy level induces oxidative stress, increases BK channel activity, and decreases exocytosis of secretory granules. These findings may provide insight into some of the developmental impairments and neurotoxicity associated with Hyperhomocysteinemia (HHcy), a disease arising due to abnormally elevated levels of Hcy in the plasma
