The monograph consists of reviews prepared by specialists having scientific publications, theoretical knowledge and practical experience in research of immobilized cells of different microorganisms, plants and animals, which they conducted for the last decade. The basis of the reviews is composed by the scientific results of the authors and relevant data on the discussed topics, presented in the modern world literature. The monograph collected information about the characteristics of immobilized cells, various approaches used to their regulation, the possible long-term functioning and storage of such cells. It performs the prospects for application of immobilized cells in biomedicine, biodetection systems, synthetic processes of biologically active substances and in overcoming environmental problems. The monograph is intended for specialists in the field of biotechnology, heterogeneous catalysis, green chemistry, biochemistry, biophysics, ecology, cytology, biomedicine as well as for teachers and students of natural science and technological faculties of higher educational institutions, for anyone interested in new results of research on the properties of various cells and applied aspects of their possible use.

Abstract. Product spectra of ground pressure variation and seismic oscillations have been calculated in the period subranges of 42-90 min and 2.5-5 h, based on synchronous, colocated microbarograph and seismograph measurements at St. Petersburg (60 • N, 30 • E). The 200 records of 2-3.5 days in length and a combined duration of 525 days have been used. The product spectra have been computed for winter, spring, summer, and autumn, both individually and in combination. The spectra of different seasons are distinct from each other for both microbarograph and seismograph measurements; this can be caused by a seasonal variation in both frequency and amplitude of free oscillations of the atmosphere. There are pressure and seismic oscillations with close frequencies in the spectra for both, for each season and when all seasons are combined. At present, suggestions may only be made regarding the origin of most of these common oscillations. Once again, the penetration of the Earth's free oscillation 0 S 2 with a period of about 54 min into the atmosphere has been confirmed. A common pressure and seismic oscillation with the 206 min period has been detected and has attracted considerable interest. The 159-min periodicity revealed in pressure variations may be associated with the well-known solar oscillation of the 160.01 min period.

The article analyzes preschool physical education curricula since 1935 and presents approaches to physical education concerning child health promotion, prevention of such diseases as scoliosis, flat-foot, etc. Preschool age is an important stage for child health, therefore, by the present time there has been developed a bulk of methods on how to prevent various health disorders in children (scoliosis, flat-foot, vision disorders, etc.) through physical education. On the other side, lack of the science-based concept of child health disorders prevention causes the situation when the majority of these methods fail to involve peculiarities of this educational process, and, consequently, it is hard to apply them, their practical usage is not systematic and has no positive impact on health. Development of pedagogy and national educational policy is known to be enforced in educational curricula. Physical education, as a rule, is a constituent part of these curricula, that is why, their estimate, especially concerning the purpose and content, enables us to identify socially-historical prerequisites of the health enhancement function of preschool physical education.
