Specifics of intercultural communication: professional dialogue, etiquette, appearance in the different countries

The purpose of this study is to examine the features of etiquette around the world and get some idea of the peoples inhabiting them. Theoretical methods have been used to achieve this goal. The result of this research is more in-depth understanding of communication with representatives of other countries. Цель данного исследования заключается в том, чтобы изучить особенности этикета различных стран мира и получить определенное представление о народах, их населяющих. Для достижения этой цели были использованы общетеоретические методы. Результатом данного исследования является более углубленное понимание особенностей общения с представителями других стран

Factors necessary to produce basoapical polarity in human glandular epithelium formed in conventional and high-throughput three-dimensional culture: example of the breast epithelium

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Basoapical polarity in epithelia is critical for proper tissue function, and control of proliferation and survival. Cell culture models that recapitulate epithelial tissue architecture are invaluable to unravel developmental and disease mechanisms. Although factors important for the establishment of basal polarity have been identified, requirements for the formation of apical polarity in three-dimensional tissue structures have not been thoroughly investigated.</p> <p>Results</p> <p>We demonstrate that the human mammary epithelial cell line-3522 S1, provides a resilient model for studying the formation of basoapical polarity in glandular structures. Testing three-dimensional culture systems that differ in composition and origin of substrata reveals that apical polarity is more sensitive to culture conditions than basal polarity. Using a new high-throughput culture method that produces basoapical polarity in glandular structures without a gel coat, we show that basal polarity-mediated signaling and collagen IV are both necessary for the development of apical polarity.</p> <p>Conclusion</p> <p>These results provide new insights into the role of the basement membrane, and especially collagen IV, in the development of the apical pole, a critical element of the architecture of glandular epithelia. Also, the high-throughput culture method developed in this study should open new avenues for high-content screening of agents that act on mammary tissue homeostasis and thus, on architectural changes involved in cancer development.</p

PERSONALITY PECULIARITIES OF PREGNANT WOMEN EXPECTING THEIR FIRST CHILDREN

The first pregnancy and its outcome have great importance for the subsequent development of the individual as the subject of women of reproductive behavior, family relationships as well as the effectiveness of the professional selfrealization. It is known that personality traits affect the enjoyment by women of reproductive function. The article presents the results of a study to determine the role of age-related factors in the formation of personality traits and mental health of pregnant women with the birth of a child under the present conditions of socialization. The study was conducted in antenatal maternity Tomsk during 2003-2007 years, there have been psychological examination of 102 healthy pregnant women aged 19-37 years who were waiting for their first child. The study was conducted by a continuous method on a voluntary basis. Number of pregnant women under 20 years was 22, of 20-25-year-olds -42 and of 26 year olds and older - 38 women. Average age - 25,4 years, mean duration of pregnancy - 19 weeks. To study the structure and personality traits women test MMPI was used. Emotional relationship of pregnant women to significant persons and situations, partly bypassing the verbal defense mechanisms were examined by Etkind's color relationships. Computer processing and data analysis were performed using standard Microsoft Office programs and applied statistical package Statistica 6.0. The study showed that women in the period of pregnancy were characterized by an invariant state of personal, psychic sphere, which has both age determination and due to previous experience of sex-role behavior. At the same time there are typological differences not only in the structure of personality traits, but also in the features of value orientations and outlook of women, depending on the experience of their socialization as subjects of sexual and reproductive behavior. In particular, older women revealed the presence of a kind of "psychological defense" to explain the reasons for the relatively late birth of their first child. The study results complement the current theoretical understanding of the psychological aspects of female reproductive function, allows us to offer solutions to a number of important scientific and practical and social problems
