- One of the main goals of the ESTABLISH 7fp project (available on line at http://www.establish-fp7.eu/) was the development and implementation of the professional development teacher education programmes (TEP) to support teachers in adopting inquiry-based strategies in their teaching. Within the project there was a model for in-service and pre-service teacher training in IBSE designed and implemented across 12 participating countries. The programme is based on 4 core elements and 4 additional elements that are built around the IBSE teaching units developed within the project. As accepted by ESTABLISH partners, all teacher training programmes include the minimum of the four elements, i.e. introduction to IBSE, industrial content knowledge, teacher as implementer and teacher as developer of IBSE teaching materials. There are also four additional elements designed in detail, i.e. ICT for IBSE, argumentation in the classroom, research and design projects for students, assessment of IBSE. These can be added to the programme optionally with regard to the level of teachers' IBSE skills and current situation in education and teachers' professional development within the country. This ESTABLISH model of TEP was followed in participating countries in order to change teachers' attitudes from traditional ways of teaching towards adopting inquiry strategies and their successful implementation in the classroom. Within the face-to-face workshops teachers experienced and developed their inquiry based teaching strategies using specifically developed materials. In addition, the e-platform has been developed to provide on-line support. This platform provides educators and teachers with all the necessary materials for the training and IBSE teaching units and other teaching materials for teachers' ongoing help. The teacher training programme was successfully implemented in Slovakia. There were two runs of teacher training workshops on IBSE already carried out. Moreover, the additional element ICT in IBSE was developed more deeply designing a separate teacher training course for it. The contribution discusses in more details the success and problems of implementation in the context of Slovak educational environment.

- A review is made of the basic tools used in mathematics to define acalculus for pseudodifferential operators on Riemannian manifolds endowed with aconnection: existence theorem for the function that generalizes the phase; analogueof Taylor’s theorem; torsion and curvature terms in the symbolic calculus; the twokinds of derivative acting on smooth sections of the cotangent bundle of the Riemannianmanifold; the concept of symbol as an equivalence class. Physical motivationsand applications are then outlined, with emphasis on Green functions of quantumfield theory and Parker’s evaluation of Hawking radiation.

Cosinus: A NaI-based cryogenic calorimeter for direct dark matter search

- For two decades, extraordinary effort has been devoted to clarifying the controversial results in direct dark matter detection. The claim of DAMA/LIBRA for a dark matter annual modulation signal is in apparent contradiction with most of the results of the other direct detection experiments, but a material-independent check of this signal can still be decisive. For this reason, COSINUS aims to develop a sodium iodide-based cryogenic scintillating calorimeter, whose two-channel readout of light and phonon allows an event-by-event discrimination of the dominant β/γ-background from the sought-for nuclear recoils.
