Communicative search for a way out of the impasse in cross-cultural communication: conditions for narrowing the "gaps" between the languages

The paper addresses the issue of linguistic differences in cross-cultural communication and discusses communicative strategies that could be used to mitigate them. The authors argue that lingua-didactic multicultural education can help remove the main obstacle in the traditional teaching of Russian as a foreign language (RFL) - a "clash of cultures"; and not only can introduce a model of teaching to write, read, and speak in Russian, but can also offer a system of instruction that will allow the students to understand the way Russians think, which surely would make it easier for them to "translate" a text from one culture into another in a non-native "cultural environment" providing a polylingual format for interactio

Synthesis and property evaluations of highly filled polyimide composites under thermal cycling conditions from -190 °C to +200 °C

This paper presents data on the synthesis of composites based on polyimide and modified tungsten (IV) oxide (WO₂). The resulting, highly filled, polyimide/WO₂ composites were investigated by electron microscopy and thermal analysis in a gas environment of oxygen and argon. The maximum content of modified WO₂, in the studied composites, was 60 wt%. The introduction of WO₂ increases the thermal stability of the composite

Gamma radiation attenuation characteristics of composites based on polyimide track membranes filled with nanodispersed Pb

Using multilayer polymer PI/Pb composites for protection against X-ray bremsstrahlung in outer space

This paper presents data about the radiation-protective characteristics of multilayer polyimide/lead (PI/Pb) composites for X-ray radiation. Multilayer composites were obtained by collecting lead-filled polyimide track membranes into a sandwich of the required thicknes

Synthesis of PI/POSS nanocomposite films based on track nuclear membranes and assessment of their resistance to oxygen plasma flow

This work presents, for the first time, data on the possibility of synthesizing polyimide nanocomposite films based on track nuclear membranes and organosiloxane (polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes) POSS structures. The synthesis of the nanocomposite films was carried out by filling the tracks of a polyimide membrane with POSS structures under hydrothermal conditions in a high-pressure reactor. The surface and mechanical characteristics of the developed nanocomposite films were studied, and the results of their resistance to the flow of oxygen plasma are presente
