QUALITY ASSESSMENT OF STUDENT COURSEWORKS: COMPETENCY-BASED APPROACH by T. M. Shamsutdinova

“…The following conclusions are drawn: 1) the system current control of professional competencies mastering is necessary for timely correcting of individual educational trajectories; 2) the assessment of professional competencies of students means diagnostics of preparation results including a large number of various criteria; 3) the unified approach to level formation measurement of professional competencies is impossible due to complexity and heterogeneity of their structure; 4) there is a need for the variability as well possibility of increase or reduction (association) of criteria for assessment of professional competencies in order to identify the most significant indicators of effectiveness and quality of a particular academic paper.Practical significance. …”

The phytohormone abscisic acid enhances remyelination in mouse models of multiple sclerosis by Femke Van Gaever, Femke Van Gaever, Fleur Mingneau, Fleur Mingneau, Sam Vanherle, Sam Vanherle, Yasmine Driege, Yasmine Driege, Mira Haegman, Mira Haegman, Elien Van Wonterghem, Elien Van Wonterghem, Junhua Xie, Junhua Xie, Roosmarijn E. Vandenbroucke, Roosmarijn E. Vandenbroucke, Jerome J. A. Hendriks, Jerome J. A. Hendriks, Rudi Beyaert, Rudi Beyaert, Jens Staal, Jens Staal, Jens Staal

“…ABA, which is abundant in fruits such as figs, apricots and bilberries, is known to cross the blood-brain barrier and has demonstrated neuroprotective effects in conditions like depression and Alzheimer's disease.MethodsIn this study, we investigated whether ABA supplementation enhances remyelination in both ex vivo and in vivo mouse models.ResultsOur results indicated that ABA enhanced remyelination and that this enhanced remyelination is associated with increased lipid droplet load, reduced levels of degraded myelin, and a higher abundance of F4/80+ cells in the demyelinated brain of mice treated with ABA. …”
