Language Representation of the “Masculinity / Femininity” Cultural Dimension Gender Values in Russian and English Phraseology

AbstractThis study analyzes lexical representation of G. Hofstede's gender values illustrating the opposition of masculine and feminine national cultures. The lexical material of the research is English and Russian phrasecons. One of the values “maximum / minimum emotional and social role differentiation between the genders” is analyzed in more detail including quantitative (the number of representations) and qualitative aspects (their semantics). The results show that Russian phraseological units representing the masculine value dominate in number but they are more metaphorical than English phraseological units. The findings correlate with the sociological study results obtained by G. Hofstede

Investigando los efectos del desarrollo cognitivo y físico en la educación infantil

The article considers the relationship of physical and cognitive development of children as well as the processes of memory and attention. They determine the readiness of a child for school education. The analysis of existing theories made it possible to single out the conditions for their development. There was conducted a study to check the level of memory and attention development of 6-7-year-old children. Diagnostic results showed that the vast majority of children showed an average level of memorization, and a low level of attention development. The results of the diagnosis confirmed that the features of the mental development of the preschoolers do not allow a child to fix attention on subjects or actions for a long time, to maintain interest in the performed action. Physical development of children is at the average level. Unified patterns between the general level of mental development and the development of certain types of movements were revealed. Specially organized physical activity for children with a selection of exercises that require concentration of attention, memorizing patterns of movement, coordination will contribute to the development of memory and attention.El artículo considera la relación del desarrollo físico y cognitivo de los niños, así como los procesos de memoria y atención. Determinan la preparación de un niño para la educación escolar. El análisis de las teorías existentes permitió identificar las condiciones para su desarrollo. Se realizó un estudio para verificar el nivel de memoria y el desarrollo de la atención de niños de 6 a 7 años.Los resultados del diagnóstico mostraron que la gran mayoría de los niños mostraron un nivel promedio de memorización y un bajo nivel de desarrollo de la atención. Los resultados del diagnóstico confirmaron que las características del desarrollo mental delos niños en edad preescolar no permiten que un niño fije la atención en temas o acciones durante mucho tiempo, para mantener el interés en la acción realizada. El desarrollo físico de los niños está en el nivel promedio. Se revelaron patrones unificados entre el nivel general de desarrollo mental y el desarrollo de ciertos tipos de movimientos. La actividad física especialmente organizada para niños con una selección de ejercicios que requieren concentración de atención, memorizar patrones de movimiento, coordinación contribuirá al desarrollo de la memoria y la atención

The role of Belgorod’ mass-media in forming of public agenda

The article reveals the modalities of mass-media’s influence on public consciousness. The correlation of political, public and media agendas has also been investigated. For the first time the investigation has been made with consideration for a region, by the example of the Belgorod Regio

Readiness of future teachers for sociocultural education of children in modern conditions of society development

The modern sociocultural situation of the development of society involves taking into account all aspects of human life in the educational process. Are our students - future preschool teachers - ready to build their activities taking into account socio-cultural aspects. The authors consider the characteristic of readiness, highlighting motivational and value-based component (awareness of the importance of their process, readiness for continuous improvement and professional development, highlighting the values of professional activity), activity-technological component (knowledge of the ways of interaction with the subjects of the pedagogical process, design of the educational and educational process, the use of modern teaching tools (IT), information and knowledge component (knowledge of the specifics of preschool childhood, modern trends in the development of society and education, learning technologies). The study shows the insufficient level of development of the 2nd and the 3rd components of the readiness of future teachers. The proposed methods of professional training of future teachers of preschool education are associated with the use of business games, conducting master classes, studying the technological component of the educational process

Analytical Approach to the Calculation of Three-Dimensional Transducers for the Acoustic Control Methods

For diagnostic acoustic methods piezoelectric ceramic circular disks are typically used as active transducer elements. To calculate the response of such transducers, simplified numerical calculation methods, having limited applicability, are widely used. In the present work the strict analytical methods of elasticity theory have been used to calculate the three-dimensional vibrations of circular piezoelectric disks having a general dependence on both diameter and thickness. The approach we employed is based on the eigenfunction method of dynamic electric elasticity developed in [1]

Modification of fluid lipid and mobile protein fractions of reticulocyte plasma membranes affects agonist-stimulated adenylate cyclase. Application of the percolation theory

AbstractThe technique of fluorescence recovery after photobleaching was used to measure the lateral mobility of membrane integral proteins in reticulocyte plasma membranes which were treated to modify the ‘fluid’ lipid or immobilized protein fractions, hence increasing the relative prevalence of obstacles to protein lateral motion. This was achieved by either: (1) treating the plasma membranes with phospholipase A2 followed by extraction of the hydrolysis products using fatty-acid-free bovine serum albumin, resulting in a decrease in the membrane ‘fluid’ lipid portion; or (2) preincubating the plasma membranes with polylysines, resulting in plasma membrane protein aggregation and immobilization. As the prevalence of obstacles to lateral motion increased in plasma membranes through the treatments described above, the mobility of the membrane integral proteins diminished. Experimental results for the dependence of protein mobility on the prevalence of obstacles to lateral motion were compared to theoretical data in order to verify the applicability of the percolation theory to reticulocyte plasma membranes. The influence of a decrease in the ‘fluid’ lipid and an increase in the immobilized membrane protein fractions upon the hormone-stimulated adenylate cyclase activity has been studied as well. As the ‘solid’ lipid and immobilized membrane protein fractions decreased, both the hormone-stimulated adenylate cyclase activity and the fraction of β-adrenergic receptors with high affinity to hormone diminished. It was shown that this correlation can be caused by a decrease in membrane fraction accessible to the movement of the interacting proteins of the adenylate cyclase complex. Hormonal stimulation of adenylate cyclase is discussed in terms of the percolation theory
