Самостоятельная работа студентов в профессиональных учебных заведениях
The reform of education in Russia has led to emergence of new learning pattern. Today, among numerous changes that have occurred in competence-based approach context, we note tendencies towards changes in teacher’s role in a student’s life, reduction in classroom hours and increase in the share of students’ independent work. In order to preserve and increase effectiveness of student learning, educational institutions should aim at finding new ways to use classroom hours to organize students' independent work. Insufficient knowledge of this topic actualizes the process of its further development. The purpose of our research was to verify the structure of independent work developed by the authors at a technical school in order to increase student training level. For this, the authors conducted an experiment in which two groups of second-year students of 25 people each took part. The results of the differentiated classification of two groups in the course "Engineering Graphics" were compared. The first group of students studied according to the structure available in the college, the second - with the help of the pattern developed by the authors. As a result, it was found that the second group has a higher level of training. The results of the experiment allowed us to conclude that the structure of independent work developed by the authors is very effective and its implementation will allow achieving positive results in students' competences development and in future graduates training.La reforma de la educación en Rusia ha llevado a la aparición de un nuevo patrón de aprendizaje.

Сегодня среди многочисленных изменений, произошедших в контексте компетентностного подхода, мы отмечаем тенденции к изменению роли педагога в жизни студента, сокращению аудиторных часов и увеличению доли самостоятельной работы студентов. Чтобы сохранить и повысить эффективность обучения студентов, учебные заведения должны стремиться найти новые способы использования аудиторных часов для организации самостоятельной работы студентов. Недостаточная разработка этой темы актуализирует процесс ее дальнейшего развития. Целью нашего исследования была проверка структуры самостоятельной работы, разработанной авторами в техникуме с целью повышения уровня подготовки студентов. Для этого авторы провели эксперимент, в котором приняли участие две группы студентов второго курса по 25 человек в каждой. Результаты дифференцированной классификации двух групп по курсу «Инженерная графика» сравнивались. Первая группа студентов обучалась по структуре, имеющейся в колледже, вторая - по схеме, разработанной авторами. В результате выяснилось, что вторая группа имеет более высокий уровень подготовки. Результаты эксперимента позволили сделать вывод о том, что разработанная авторами структура самостоятельной работы имеет высокую результативность, а ее реализация позволит достичь положительных результатов в развитии компетенций студентов и в подготовке будущих выпускников

Staphylococcus aureus Panton‐Valentine Leukocidin triggers an alternative NETosis process targeting mitochondria
Panton-Valentine Leukocidin (PVL) is a bicomponent leukotoxin produced by
3%-10% of clinical Staphylococcus aureus (SA) strains involved in the severity of
hospital and community-acquired infections. Although PVL was long known as a
pore-forming toxin, recent studies have challenged the formation of a pore at the
plasma membrane, while its endocytosis and the exact mode of action remain to
be defined. In vitro immunolabeling of human neutrophils shows that Neutrophil
Extracellular Traps (NETosis) is triggered by the action of purified PVL, but not by
Gamma hemolysin CB (HlgCB), a structurally similar SA leukotoxin. PVL causes
the ejection of chromatin fibers (NETs) decorated with antibacterial peptides independently
of the NADPH oxidase oxidative burst. Leukotoxin partially colocalizes
with mitochondria and enhances the production of reactive oxygen species from
these organelles, while showing an increased autophagy, which results unnecessary
for NETs ejection. PVL NETosis is elicited through Ca2+-activated SK channels and
Myeloperoxidase activity but is abolished by Allopurinol pretreatment of neutrophils.
Moreover, massive citrullination of the histone H3 is performed by peptidyl
arginine deiminases. Inhibition of this latter enzymes fails to abolish NET extrusion.
Unexpectedly, PVL NETosis does not seem to involve Src kinases, which is the main
kinase family activated downstream the binding of PVL F subunit to CD45 receptor,
while the specific kinase pathway differs from the NADPH oxidase-dependent
NETosis. PVL alone causes a different and specific form of NETosis that may rather
represent a bacterial strategy conceived to disarm and disrupt the immune response,
eventually allowing SA to spread
Brazilian Portuguese-Russian (BraPoRus) Corpus: Automatic transcription and acoustic quality of elderly speech during Covid-19 pandemic
This article presents the Brazilian Portuguese-Russian (BraPoRus) corpus, whose goal is to collect, analyze, and preserve for posterity the spoken heritage Russian still used today in Brazil by approximately 1,500 elderly bilingual heritage Russian–Brazilian Portuguese speakers. Their unique 100-year-old variety of moribund Russian is disappearing because it has not been passed to their descendants born in Brazil. During the COVID-19 pandemic, we remotely collected 170 h of speech samples in heritage Russian from 26 participants (Mage = 75.7 years) in naturalistic settings using Zoom or a phone call. To estimate the quality of collected data, we focus on two methodological challenges, automatic transcription and acoustic quality of remote recordings. First, we find that among commercially available transcription programs, Sonix far outperforms Google Transcribe and Vocalmatic on the measure of word error rate (WER). Second, we also establish that the acoustic quality of the remote recordings was adequate for intonational and speech rate analysis. Moreover, this remote method of collecting and analyzing speech samples works successfully with elderly bilingual participants who speak a heritage language different from their dominant societal language, and it can become a new norm when face-to-face communication with elderly participants is not possible
Multidrug-resistant tuberculosis in children in northwest Russia: an observational cohort study.
Refinement of Animal Experiments: Replacing Traumatic Methods of Laboratory Animal Marking with Non-Invasive Alternatives
Reliable methods for identifying rodents play an important role in ensuring the success of preclinical studies. However, animal identification remains a trivial laboratory routine that is not often discussed, despite the fact that more than 6 million rodents are used in animal studies each year. Currently, there are extensive regulations in place to ensure adequate anesthesia and to reduce animal suffering during experiments. At the same time, not enough attention is paid to the comfort of rodents during routine identification procedures, which can be painful and cause some complications. In order to achieve the highest ethical standards in laboratory research, we must minimize animal discomfort during the identification phase. In this article, we discuss traumatic methods of identification and describe several painless methods for marking in long-term experimental studies. The use of non-traumatic and non-invasive methods requires the renewal of marks as they fade and additional handling of the rodents. Laboratory personnel must be trained in stress-minimizing handling techniques to make mark renewal less stressful
