Development of professional communication skills of the public health inspector in the training process In higher education institutions

Комуникативните умения и способността за правилното им използване са част от основните качества на бъдещите специалисти в областта на здравеопазването. Инспекторите по обществено здраве (ИОЗ) са членове на здравната система. Те са държавни служители и осъществяват контрол в обекти с обществено предназначение.Целта на разработката е да се направи анализ на възможностите за формиране на професионални комуникативни умения на ИОЗ в процеса на обучение във висшето училище.Основните комуникативни умения започват да се овладяват още в процеса на обучение и се доразвиват в трудовата дейност на работещите. Ефективното общуване изисква система от добре оформени информационни, възприемащи, интерактивни и специфични комуникативни способности. В дейността си здравните инспектори образоват и създават среди, които се поддържат от регулаторни стандарти и най-добри практики. Развиването на комуникативната компетентност на бъдещите инспектори се дължи на факта, че прилагането на държавен контрол, в основата на който е наблюдение, анализиране, организиране и провеждането на превантивни и противоепидемични мерки, включва интензивна комуникация с голям брой хора с етнически, полови, възрастови, социокултурни, професионални и индивидуални различия с различни нива на образование и информираност. Съгласно Наредбата за единните държавни изисквания за изучаваната специалност „Инспектор по обществено здраве” няма заложени задължителни учебни дисциплини, свързани с изграждане на комуникативни способности и умения на бъдещите специалисти. Комуникативните умения са ключов момент, на който понастоящем не се отделя достатъчно внимание. Необходимо е специализирано обучение, което да бъде заложено още в процеса на обучение във висшите училища.Communication skills and the ability to use them correctly are part of the core qualities of future healthcare professionals.

Linguistic and Cultural Features of the Russian old-timers’ dialects of Yakutia (on material of dictionaries of M.F. Druzhinina)

The scientific article studies and analyzes words of the Russian old-timers’ dialects of Yakutia, whose lexical meaning is associated with their culture and traditional way of life. The above-mentioned words express culture-bound items that help survive in the harsh conditions of northeast Russia. It is relevant to consider word meanings since modern linguistics has got a second wind and currently examines language processes with due regard to the culture and history of native speakers and dialect users.

The Russian old-timers’ dialects of Yakutia contain unique words evaluating a person (hardworking/lazy; good-natured/evil; smart/stupid) and denoting hunting methods and means (active/passive; means/tools, components/materials for producing hunting tools). The authors of the article have grouped the obtained data according to the frequency of use. This classification reflects the diversity and richness of the words used by Russian old-timers. The vocabulary related to person nominations and nominations of hunting methods and means represents a significant layer in the linguistic world image of Yakutian old-timers

This paper focuses on the role of information and communication technologies (ICT) in the sustainable independent tourism and hospitality. Moreover, it attempts to identify emerging trends in tourism of the 21st century. Nowadays, tourism has become more independent on large travel agencies and package tours and this transition has been caused by the development of Internet and information technologies.
