Designing a work program for the discipline based on the elements of competencies by A. M. Polyanskiy, E. A. Smirnova

“…According to the authors, the use of the elements of competences allocated from the texts of standards, scientific and methodological developments and other sources of the subject field of activity of the university graduate, allows to determine the set and content of knowledge, skills and knowledge necessary for training in the field of preparation more fully, rationally distribute them among educational disciplines and practices, to form the main didactic units of the work program of the academic discipline, to ensure the traceability of the requirements to the results of mastering the disciplines to a specific source of requirements.In the process of research, a methodology for the collection, processing and systematization of information necessary for the preparation of documents for the organization of the educational process at the department of the university was developed and approved; the analysis of professional and branch standards of software engineering is carried out; an array of elements of competencies required by the graduate training directions 09.03.04 is formed; software tools for processing and structuring information, managing changes in the elements of competences, taking into account the interrelations between them are proposed.The article describes the structure of the data array of competencies required by the graduate of the bachelor’s degree in the direction of training 09.03.04 “Software Engineering”; the results of the analysis of the main types of competence sources are presented: the educational standard in the specified direction of bachelor’s degree, professional standards and branch standards of software engineering, ontological and architectural models of entities of the subject domain; an algorithm for the collection, processing and systematization of information necessary for the formation of competency elements; examples of forming various types elements of competences are given.The study has showed that the competence approach, expanded in the proposed methodology, to the formation of working programs of educational disciplines and practices of the basic professional educational program of higher education allows to ensure the completeness, relevance and consistency of the requirements for the preparation of students, the rational distribution of the subject matter of the teaching material between disciplines and their mutual coherence in the educational process.…”

The Effect of Citalopram on Genome-Wide DNA Methylation of Human Cells by Riya R. Kanherkar, Bruk Getachew, Joseph Ben-Sheetrit, Sudhir Varma, Thomas Heinbockel, Yousef Tizabi, Antonei B. Csoka

“…To test this hypothesis, we cultured HEK-293 cells in the presence of 50 μM citalopram, a common antidepressant, for 30 days and performed whole-genome DNA methylation analysis using the NimbleGen Human DNA Methylation 3x720K Promoter Plus CpG Island Array. A total of 626 gene promoters, out of a total of 25,437 queried genes on the array (2.46%), showed significant differential methylation (p<0.01); among these, 272 were hypomethylated and 354 were hypermethylated in treated versus control. …”

Near-Field Nulling Control Beamfocusing Optimization for Multi-User Interference Suppression by Yuanzhe Gong, Mohammadhossein Karimi, Tho Le-Ngoc

“…These simulations thoroughly investigate and illustrate the radiation behaviors of antenna arrays at different observation distances. To leverage the advantages offered by distance-dependent radiation patterns in the near-field, we consider two nulling control beamfocusing algorithms to effectively mitigate multi-user interference (MUI) in massive multiple-input multiple-output (mMIMO) systems by achieving considerable focusing gain differences between the desired and interference locations. …”
