Investigation of SARS-Cov-2 Infection in Domestic Animals

Concerned with the COVID-19 pandemic, the study of this disease in animals has got a great scientific importance in clarifying the information about the source and circulation of the infection. The study aimed to investigate the source of infection of domestic animals (dog, cat, cattle, sheep, goat and poultry) with SARS-CoV-2, as well as to identify susceptible animal species and ways of transmission of the virus. Observations were made on the animals selected for the study, from which nasopharyngeal and oropharyngeal smears were taken for PCR, and blood samples were taken for enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The experimental part of the study was carried out in veterinary clinics, animal shelters and farms. Dogs and cats are kept in animal shelters and examined in veterinary clinics, as well as cattle, sheep, goats and poultry grown on various farms, were involved in the study. Antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 were detected in 11 of 645 samples taken from animals whose clinical signs of COVID-19 disease were initially observed or whose owners were exposed to the disease. Based on the results of the study, monitoring the dynamics of the spread of SARSCoV- 2 among animals is of great scientific and practical importance in preventing this process

Teaching of written language via the internet

By the words of L.S.Vigotskiy, the written speech is “speech without intonation, expressive, generally without the whole sounding side. This is speech in thought, in representation, but speech devoid of the most essential feature of oral speech material sound. It is largely due to internal speech. When expressing thoughts through writing, inner speech is, as it were, formed into a verbal shell. The transmission of thoughts through written speech is a complex, multifaceted process. The purpose of this study is a scientific search in areas of the potential of written language for solving urgent problems of modern teaching methods. The main function of speech in humans, however, is that it is an instrument of thinking. Speech is the area where memory and thinking come into contact so much that it is sometimes difficult to decide what in speech belongs to memory and what to thinking. But it is with the formation of concepts that thinking begins its activity. Moving further and further away from written language, the students lose one of the important factors in the development of imagination, thinking, and creative activity. Therefore, in the classroom it is necessary to do the planned systematic work on the development of written speech
