What Kind of a Teacher Does Educational Policy Want: An Analysis of one European Document

In order to develop culture of kindergarten, as well as to design initial teacher education and to develop education policy, we need landmarks. Taking into account globalization trends and process of european integration, we are aware that educational policy of European Union has a significant impact on development of education field in countries that want to be a part of this community, such as Serbia. That is why we tried to discover what landmarks can be found in document of European Commission about teachers and their competences. The aim of our research was to discover how educational policy sees teachers in document Supporting teachers competence development (for better learning outcomes). We analyzed the content of document by categorizing analysis units according to the matrix by crossing two dimensions: autonomy of teachers (from tehnician to reflective practicioner) and value orientation in education (from economic and pragmatic to humanistic and critical). Categorisation was done two times. Analysis units were relevant terms and entire paragraphs. The results show that we have two dominant ideas about teachers, described as: 1. teacher as technician serving given economic values and the market and 2. teacher as critical, reflective practicioner who contributes to institutional and social change. The existence of two images of a teacher, which are not only different but contradictory, means that the document sends contradictory messages, and that, by itself, it can not be a clear orientation to understanding the practice and deciding on it. On the other hand, dialogue between teachers about different ways of understanding this and similar documents, its values and consequences, can lead them to understanding their own ideologies, profession and ways of developing culture of kindergarten. It is important to note that in this paper, teacher is understood in the broadest sense: preschool teacher, school teacher, educator

Antimicrobial activity and cytotoxicity of commercial rosemary essential oil (Rosmarinus officinalis L.)

Rosemary is well known as a spice and widely used plant in ethnomedicine worldwide. In this paper, commercial essential oil of rosemary was tested for antimicrobial and cytotoxic activity together with its effect on germination. Antimicrobial activity testing showed moderate effect to both G-positive and Gnegative bacteria. In order to determine its effect to the cell membrane, spectrophotometric analysis was performed. It was determined that rosemary affects the cell membrane of bacteria. Cytotoxic activity of Rosmarinus officinalis essential oil had been evaluated. As a plant object, germinative bulbs of Allium cepa were used. Cytotoxic activity that corresponded to the concentration of essential oil was determined. It had been noticed that rosemary essential oil affected mitotic phase i.e. it significantly slowed down the mitosis. Also, investigation of rosemary essential oil's activity to germination was performed. It was determined that it had high effect to the germination. Concentration of 5 mg/ml completely inhibited the germination of Triticum vulgare

Antibacterial, antioxidant and anti-proliferative properties and zinc content of five south Portugal herbs

Context: Crataegus monogyna L. (Rosaceae) (CM), Equisetum telmateia L. (Equisataceae) (ET), Geranium purpureum Vil. (Geraniaceae) (GP), Mentha suaveolens Ehrh. (Lamiaceae) (MS), and Lavandula stoechas L. spp. luisieri (Lamiaceae) (LS) are all medicinal. Objective: To evaluate the antioxidant, antiproliferative and antimicrobial activities of plant extracts and quantify individual phenolics and zinc. Material and methods: Aerial part extracts were prepared with water (W), ethanol (E) and an 80% mixture (80EW). Antioxidant activity was measured with TAA, FRAP and RP methods. Phenolics were quantified with a HPLC. Zinc was quantified using voltammetry. Antibacterial activity (after 48 h) was tested using Enterococcus faecalis, Bacillus cereus, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Listeria monocytogenes. Antiproliferative activity (after 24 h) was tested using HEP G2 cells and fibroblasts. Results: Solvents influenced results; the best were E and 80EW. GP had the highest antioxidant activity (TAA and FRAP of 536.90mg AAE/g dw and 783.48mg TE/g dw, respectively). CM had the highest zinc concentration (37.21 mg/kg) and phenolic variety, with neochlorogenic acid as the most abundant (92.91 mg/100 g dw). LS was rich in rosmarinic acid (301.71 mg/100 g dw). GP and LS inhibited the most microorganisms: B. cereus, E. coli and S. aureus. GP also inhibited E. faecalis. CM had the lowest MIC: 5830 mu g/mL. The antibacterial activity is explained by the phenolics present. LS and CM showed the most significant anti-proliferative activity, which is explained by their zinc content. Conclusion: The most promising plants for further studies are CM, LS and GP.FCT, Fundacao para a Ciencia e a Tecnologia of Portugal [SFRH/BSA/139/2014

CP violation in the Higgs sector at ILC

CP violation is one of Sakharov's condition for the matter-antimatter asymmetry of the Universe. The experimentally observed size of CP violation is insufficient to account for this. Is CP violated in the Higgs sector? Could the SM-like Higgs boson be a mixture of CP even and CP odd states of an extended Higgs sector? With what precision could such effects be measured at future electron-positron colliders? These questions will be discussed in the light of the latest studies at ILC

Electrodeposition of Nb and Al from chloroaluminate melt on vitreous carbon

Niobium and aluminium were electrodeposited at 200 °C under argon atmosphere onto vitreous carbon from inorganic chloroaluminate melts (AlCl3+NaCl) with added niobium. Niobium was introduced into the electrolyte by anodic dissolution of metallic niobium or by chemical dissolution of Nb2O5 in a melt of equimolar AlCl3+NaCl mixture. The processes of deposition/dissolution onto/from vitreous carbon were investigated by cyclic voltammetry and chronoamperometry. Characterization of the obtained deposits was done by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS). The only observed reduction processes on the working electrode in the potential window from 1.000 V to – 1.000 V vs. Al, were individual niobium deposition and codeposition of niobium and aluminium with Al-Nb alloys formation. Electrodeposition of niobium from the chloroaluminate melt with added niobium (V) oxide seems to start at around – 0.100 V vs. Al and at about – 0.200 V vs. Al aluminium starts codepositing. During the codeposition Nb-Al alloys were formed. Niobium deposition starting potential from the electrolyte with niobium added by anodic dissolution starts at 0.100 V vs. Al, and aluminium codeposition starting potential was at around – 0.025 V vs. Al, followed by Nb/Al alloy formation
