Kibbe's Typology as Continuation of the Method of Lines and Corners of the Pestalozzi in Training of Adults in Drawing of the Portrait

The academic system of art education is not suitable for teaching adult portrait drawing as a hobby or as the first stage of professional orientation. An alternative is the method of simple shapes of lines and angles of Pestalozzi. The Kibbe typology is similar in structure to the Pestalozzi method, but classifies the face types in more detail, based on the ratio of structural lines and angles. Such a simple template scheme of face types helps novice artists to orient themselves at the beginning of training in drawing a portrait and stimulates a serious study of visual literacy in the future.Для обучения рисунку портрета взрослых в качестве хобби или первой ступени профессиональной ориентации академическая система художественного образования не подходит. Альтернативой является метод простых форм линий и углов Песталоцци. Типология Кибби по структуре напоминает метод Песталоцци, но более детально классифицирует типы лица, исходя из соотношения структурных линий и углов. Такая простая шаблонная схема типов лица помогает начинающим художникам сориентироваться в начале обучения рисованию портрета и стимулирует к серьёзному изучению изобразительной грамоты в дальнейшем

The place and role of leisure in the Moscow students’ everyday life in the context of the information society development

The proposed article discusses issues related to the daily life of Moscow students and their leisure, the relevance of which in the context of the development of the information society is associated with increased attention of the state to the educational component of modern educational systems. Moreover, in the conditions of modern realities of the development of the information society, and, consequently, information culture, the format of leisure becomes a significant factor in the socialisation of the individual.   As a goal, the authors of the article identified the analysis of various forms of leisure activities of Moscow students through their questionnaires, which was designed to outline vectors for further research of the place and role of study, family relations and forms of spending free time in a student’s life.   Special attention is paid to modern forms of leisure for students, such as: spending time on the Internet, visiting experimental theaters and cinemas, watching talk shows and entertainment programs, visiting immersive shows, participating in modern youth organisations, etc. Summarising the results of the study, it was concluded that at the moment no more than 20 % of the surveyed Moscow students choose “modern” forms of leisure activities. The conducted research revealed the students’ clear preferences in spending their free time, as well as their value orientations

Herschel/PACS Imaging of Protostars in the HH 1-2 Outflow Complex

We present 70 and 160 micron Herschel science demonstration images of a field in the Orion A molecular cloud that contains the prototypical Herbig-Haro objects HH 1 and 2, obtained with the Photodetector Array Camera and Spectrometer (PACS). These observations demonstrate Herschel's unprecedented ability to study the rich population of protostars in the Orion molecular clouds at the wavelengths where they emit most of their luminosity. The four protostars previously identified by Spitzer 3.6-40 micron imaging and spectroscopy are detected in the 70 micron band, and three are clearly detected at 160 microns. We measure photometry of the protostars in the PACS bands and assemble their spectral energy distributions (SEDs) from 1 to 870 microns with these data, Spitzer spectra and photometry, 2MASS data, and APEX sub-mm data. The SEDs are fit to models generated with radiative transfer codes. From these fits we can constrain the fundamental properties of the protostars. We find luminosities in the range 12-84 L_sun and envelope densities spanning over two orders of magnitude. This implies that the four protostars have a wide range of envelope infall rates and evolutionary states: two have dense, infalling envelopes, while the other two have only residual envelopes. We also show the highly irregular and filamentary structure of the cold dust and gas surrounding the protostars as traced at 160 microns.Comment: 6 pages, 4 figures, accepted for publication in the A&A Herschel special issu

Возможности магнитно-резонансной томографии в диагностике острого асептического сакроилиита у детей: клинический случай

The onset of progressive deficit in multiple sclerosis (MS) was often determined retrospectively with difficulties in diagnostic. This is a case report with subtle MS progression. Clinical and structural MRI anamnesis was complemented with multivoxel 1HMRS examination. The patient complained of the walking distance reducing, gradually increasing spasticity in the distal parts of lower extremities, unsteadiness when walking, clumsy movements. Choline and myoinositol levels were predominantly increased in the area of the cingulate gyrus versus other gray matter regions and the same picture was observed in adjacent white matter. Multivoxel 1H-MRS represents a diagnostic tool that can be very useful in complex diagnostic of MS progression. Measuring chemical-pathological changes diffusely in brain tissues may detect distinctive for progression metabolic patterns.В связи с трудностями диагностики момент начала накопления прогрессирующего дефицита при рассеянном склерозе (РС) часто определяется ретроспективно. Данная статья представляет собой описание клинического случая с труднораспознаваемым прогрессированием рассеянного склероза. Пациент обратился с жалобами на уменьшение дистанции ходьбы, постепенно нарастающая спастичность в дистальных отделах нижних конечностей, шаткость при ходьбе, неловкость движений. Клинический и структурный МРТ-анализ был дополнен мультивоксельной 1Н-МР-спектроскопией (1H-МРС). Уровни холина и миоинозитола были преимущественно повышены в области поясной извилины по сравнению с другими областями серого вещества, такая же картина наблюдалась в прилежащем к поясной извилине белом веществе. Мультивоксельная 1H-МРС представляет собой диагностический инструмент, который может быть очень полезен в комплексной диагностике прогрессирования рассеянного склероза. Диффузное измерение химико-патологических изменений в тканях головного мозга может выявить характерные для прогрессирования метаболические паттерны

Nicotinic receptor involvement in regulation of functions of mouse neutrophils from inflammatory site

© 2016 Elsevier GmbH.Participation of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) in functioning of polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs) isolated from inflammatory site of mice and expression of different nAChR subunits were studied. Nicotine and acetylcholine (ACh) modified respiratory burst induced by a chemotactic peptide N-formyl-MLF in neutrophils of male (but not female) mice. Antagonists of nAChRs α-cobratoxin (αCTX), α-conotoxins MII and [A10L]PnIA at concentrations of 0.01-5 μM, 0.2 μM and 1 μM, respectively, eliminated nAChR agonist effects. ACh also affected adhesion of PMNs, this effect was also prevented by αCTX (100 nM) and MII (1 nM). Neutrophils of female mice after chronic nicotine consumption acquired sensitivity to nAChR agonists. Changes of free intracellular Ca2+ concentration in neutrophils under the action of nAChR ligands were analyzed. In cells with no Ca2+ oscillations and relatively low resting level of intracellular Ca2+, nicotine triggered Ca2+-spikes, the lag of the response shortened with increasing nicotine concentration. A nicotinic antagonist caramiphen strongly decreased the effect of nicotine. RT-PCR analysis revealed mRNAs of α2, α3, α4, α5, α6, α7, α9, β2, β3, and β4 nAChR subunits. Specific binding of [125I]-α-bungarotoxin was demonstrated. Thus in view of the effects and binding characteristics the results obtained suggest a regulatory role of α7, α3β2 or α6 nAChR types in specific functions of PMNs
