School Period

Astronomy is an important science in understanding a human environment. However, it is thought by most politicians, economists, and members of the public that astronomy is a pure science having no contribution to daily human activities except a few matters relating to time. The Japanese government is studying a reorganisation of our school system to have 5 school days per week, instead of 6 days per week, and this July its committee made a recommendation to reduce school hours for science and set up new courses for practical computers and environmental science. I currently made a proposal. It is very difficult for most of the school pupils, who will have non-scientific jobs, to understand science courses currently taught in school, because each science is taught independently from the other sciences. Therefore, their knowledge of sciences obtained during their school period does not greatly help their understanding of global environmental problems.

Set Up

Opening up as many sources of information as possible is particularly conducive to the development of workable policy plans and to efficient decision-making in a democratic political system. It follows that MPs can greatly benefit from using computerized information systems.As far as the parliamentary activities are concerned, we can distinguish between internal and external information flow. The contents of the parliamentary documents, the procedure for processing them and the information on the parliamentary control are part of the internal information flow. The external information on the other hand refers to the relations between the MPs and the executive and the judiciary branches, supranational and international institutions as well as the library.To date, the House of Representatives has been the only assembly that has set up a computerized information system . The data bases of the House comprise : the parliamentary documents and the state of advancement of all proceedings linked to these documents (bath in the House and in the Senate) until the publication of the text in the official state journal. Other databases relate to the parliamentary control : interpellations, motions, oral questions and the entire text of the written parliamentary questions.The record of the House will also be stored in a data base giving references. The library fund has been integrated in the interlibrary network DOBIS-LIBIS.  A data base was also designed for the press information, and linked to an image processing system.What has been realized in the House to date must also be feasible for the other parliamentary assemblies. Viewed from that perspective, it seems advisable that data bases be centralized in one parliamentary information DP centre. Access to this centre should be particulary user-friendly and uniform, so much so that all MPs can make maximum use of it.The system set up by the House meets with an ever increasing demand from other possible users. In this context, attention should be drawn to the interconnection of this system with other parliamentary assemblies, the extension of the system to other users in the House ofthe MPs and the external access to the system via the telephone network: direct access for the universities, and for certain public and private institutions and individual MPs, and the BISTEL and/ or VIDEOTEX access.The majority of the public data bases linked to the telephone network can be interrogated via the BISTEL system, hut many interesting applications are not accessible via the telephone network as they function in closed circuits.Opening up data bases by linking them to the telephone network, implies that the problem of cost and privacy be carefully examined. As to privacy, we should reflect on the public or confidential character of the data and its consequences, on safeguarding the information stored in the system and on the evolution ofcommunications technology from the perspective of a continental European communications network.

AbstractFrom my experience in Morocco, I discuss the difficulties one can face while trying to set up projects in a country where astronomy is a forgotten science: everything has to be built from scratch and, at the same time, one is required to keep up the pace at the international level. But, on the other side, it is quite a relief to see the strong demand from students and the public. In these circumstances even professional astronomy cannot survive without feedback from the public and long-term investment in education at all levels.

Precautionary Measures

For several decades now we have been acutely aware of the increasingly intensifying effect that environmental degradation has on human health. While many of these effects are localized, given the increasingly global nature of environmental problems their impact on human health has also become global in dimension. Health experts are becoming more and more concerned about the potential impact on public health if no precautionary measures are taken to deal with these global environmental problems.Of course, environmental problems have consequences beyond their public health impact. The emphasis in this Article on public health should not be taken as advocating an anthropocentric approach to environmental problems. This Article focuses on public health as a way of drawing attention to the enormity of the problem.

Plato's view that we should be ruled by philosophers has never really caught on in Britain. Indeed, in recent years, political attitudes to the study of philosophy have resulted in the closure of departments of philosophy in our universities, so that the subject is less studied at undergraduate level than it was 20 or 30 years ago. So it is surprising that the way our generation thinks about education, genetic experimentation, broadcasting, and some of the other most contentious issues of our time should have been so influenced by a professional philosopher whose working life has never taken her out of Oxford and Cambridge.Mary Warnock has served as chairman of government committees on special education, on animal experimentation, on human fertilisation, and on teaching quality. Further, the recommendations of the committees she has chaired have usually been rapidly adopted by the government of the time and then translated into legislation with bipartisan support and considerable speed. The fate of her reports firmly refutes the commonly held view that governments set up committees to avoid making difficult decisions and then leave their weighty conclusions to sit on shelves, gathering dust until the topics in question have lost the interest of the public.

This book opens and closes with the puzzle of how Russian rulers can control, distort, and bend the news to their own ends without worrying about how the audience receives it. On its first page, Ellen Mickiewicz asks: “[W]ouldn't these political leaders want anxiously to know what viewers make of the news?” And on its last page (p. 206) we are told that “political leaders and broadcasters persist in imagining an undifferentiated, unsophisticated mass on the other side of the screen.” While there is no direct evidence in the rest of the book to indicate that leaders do not know what to make of their audience, or that they assume it to be an undifferentiated, unsophisticated mass, these assumptions set up an interesting look at what audiences actually make of television news in Russia.

An increasing interest has been being taken in hydrogen as a clean energy for solving the global environmental problems. In order to use the hydrogen in safety, investigation on the hydrogen behavior is required. Although hydrogen microprint technique (HMPT) has been known to be effective to investigate the hydrogen behavior, the low detection efficiency for hydrogen was reported. Ion-plating (IP) was reported to increase the detection efficiency in HMPT emitted from the specimen by plastic deformation. On the other hand, no such increase was found for hydrogen permeating through the specimen ion-plated with substrate heating in the previous study by the authors. In the present study, the sheet samples of pure aluminum with 99.99% purity were dehydrogenated and subjected to (a) holding in the IP chamber, (b) bombardment with Ar ions, (c) substrate heating after the bombardment and (d) holding in air. Hydrogen behavior in these samples has been investigated by means of thermal desorption spectroscopy (TDS). The amount of desorbed hydrogen was evidently larger in the conditions of (a) and (b) than in (d). However, the amount of desorbed hydrogen was decreased by the substrate heating (c) to the same level as in (d).

Type Of School

When Poland regained independence it was crucial to unite school systems of all polish lands under one governance, as well as to prepare projects of school acts, that would apply to all country. Most important was to unify system, its organization, language of lectures etc. in the whole country. In accordance with Ustawa o ustroju szkolnictwa dated 11th March 1932 school system was to be based on seven-year 3rd degree public school. It was assumed, that schools would prepare talented children and adolescents to promotion from one type of school to the other, as well as to promotion from lower degree schools to higher degree schools. „Wiadomości Historyczno-Dydaktyczne” were one of the journals published between 1933 and 1939 by Polish Historical Society for history teaching. Editor-in-chief was Kazimierz Tyszkowski, who after 1937 functioned together with Antoni Knot. Articles concerning teaching of history in secondary school, especially concerning introduction of new programs, were published in „Wiadomości Historyczno-Dydaktyczne”. Taking into account the need to organize school system after more than 100-years dependence from invaders governance, should not be surprising, that it was developed fast, and not always proposed and implemented solutions were supported by the public, teachers and experts, what can be noticed when analyzing content of particular articles.
