Nanoparticles for Applications in Cellular Imaging

In the following review we discuss several types of nanoparticles (such as TiO2, quantum dots, and gold nanoparticles) and their impact on the ability to image biological components in fixed cells. The review also discusses factors influencing nanoparticle imaging and uptake in live cells in vitro. Due to their unique size-dependent properties nanoparticles offer numerous advantages over traditional dyes and proteins. For example, the photostability, narrow emission peak, and ability to rationally modify both the size and surface chemistry of Quantum Dots allow for simultaneous analyses of multiple targets within the same cell. On the other hand, the surface characteristics of nanometer sized TiO2allow efficient conjugation to nucleic acids which enables their retention in specific subcellular compartments. We discuss cellular uptake mechanisms for the internalization of nanoparticles and studies showing the influence of nanoparticle size and charge and the cell type targeted on nanoparticle uptake. The predominant nanoparticle uptake mechanisms include clathrin-dependent mechanisms, macropinocytosis, and phagocytosis

SOME REMARKS TO THE SPEECH ETIQUETTE PROBLEM

The article deals with some questions concerning English speech etiquette. It is devoted to the problem of its structural features and functioning. The dual nature of the units of speech etiquette - their belonging to both speech and language - happens to be the crucial factor in identifying their structural peculiarities and the sphere of their functioning. Another area that calls for special attention is the approach to speech etiquette and units of speech etiquette from the point of view of the theory of speech acts. The units of speech etiquette analysis by method of the theory of speech acts seems to be very rewarding especially at the levels of psycho- and sociolinguistics

Повышение эффективности школьного экономического образования посредством использования электронной формы учебника

It is reported that the monograph “Information and communication technologies in economic education of high school students” (2016), prepared by G. E. Korolyova and M. G. Sergeyeva, presents extensive pedagogical capabilities of the electronic form of the textbook. The features and the degree of activity of the use of the electronic form of the textbook by teachers of social and humanitarian profile are analyzed. The reasons of theoretical and practical nature are revealed, as a result of which the electronic form of the textbook insufficiently realizes the potential in the developed pedagogical practice. It is concluded that there is no scientifically grounded approach to the formation of the content of the electronic form of the textbook. The variant of solution of the problem on the basis of the model of the contents of the electronic form of the textbook developed for economic education in high school is shown.Сообщается, что в монографии «Информационно-коммуникационные технологии в экономическом образовании старшеклассников»» (2016), подготовленной Г. Э. Королевой и М. Г. Сергеевой, представлены широкие педагогические возможности электронной формы учебника. Анализируются особенности и степень активности использования электронной формы учебника учителями социально-гуманитарного профиля. Выявлены причины теоретического и практического характера, в результате которых электронная форма учебника недостаточно полно реализует свой потенциал в сложившейся педагогической практике. Сделан вывод об отсутствии научно обоснованного подхода к формированию содержания электронной формы учебника. Показан вариант решения проблемы на основе модели содержания электронной формы учебника, разработанной для экономического образования в старшей школе

Improvement of value orientations in the process of forming the professional competence of teachers

This study examines the issues of value orientations of a teacher and their development as an integral part of professional competence. We drew attention to the relationship between the value orientations and the value sphere within the process of teacher's professional development, the conditionality of professional competence by the value system. The aim of the research is the theoretical and empirical study of value orientations as a component of the professional competence of teachers. Particular attention is paid to the role and significance of creativity in the teaching performance. Based on the analysis of current literary sources, we examined the phenomenon of professional creativity of a teacher, made an attempt to define this concept and considered its structure and structural components. The research methodology and its algorithm were selected due to the purpose of the study. Experimental work included a complex psychological and pedagogical experiment and diagnostics of the stated parameters before and after the implementation of the advanced training. The study was carried out on the basis of the Institute of Foreign Languages of the Federal State Autonomous Educational Institution of Higher Education "The Peoples' Friendship University of Russia" (RUDN). The results of the study allow us to conclude that there is a significant relationship between the professional creativity of a teacher and the effectiveness of professional performance, which is confirmed by the results of statistical processing of the data obtained. In the Russian psychological and pedagogical literature on the problem of professional competence two basic concepts are discussed, competence and competency. Researchers argue that these concepts are multidimensional and systemic in nature. In Russia, the difference between these concepts is most thoroughly substantiated in the glossary of the Federal State Educational Standard. It is indicated that competencies consist of knowledge, skills and abilities, as well as of practical experience. The ability to apply them in professional activities is called competence
