Е-Learning as a Future-oriented Aspect of Foreign Language Communicative Competence Develop

Importance of the information and communication technology in every specialist activity is undisputed today. To train a successful graduate who is going to be in great demand as an employee, a university should teach students not how to learn, but how to develop own competences. It is not enough to be a high-educated specialist; in order to get a job and to obtain a promotion one should demonstrate readiness to work and communicate globally. Foreign language communicative competence is one of the most valuable employee’s advantages over competitors

Synaptic transmission as a cooperative phenomenon in confined systems

In this review paper, the theory of synaptic transmission (ST) was developed and discussed. We used the hypothesis of isomorphism between: (a) the cooperative behavior of mediators --- acetylcholine molecules (ACh) and cholinoreceptors in a synaptic cleft with binding into mediator-receptor (AChR) complexes, (b) the critical phenomena in confined binary liquid mixtures. The systems of two (or three) nonlinear differential equations were proposed to find the change of concentrations of ACh, AChR complexes, and ferment acetylcholinesterase. The main findings of our study: the linear size of the activation zone was evaluated; the process of postsynaptic membrane activation was described as a cooperative process; different approximations of ACh synchronous release were examined; stationary states and types of singular points were studied for the proposed models of ST; the nonlinear kinetic model with three order parameters demonstrated a strange-attractor behavior.Comment: 12 pages, 1 figur

Modeling of strain in multifilamentary wires deformed by thermal contraction and transverse forces

A previously published analytical model that describes a simplified wire geometry with three stacked cylinders is compared with finite element model calculations. The thermal strain from the matrix on the superconducting filaments is considered first. It appears that the analytical model is able to describe the strain that occurs in the filaments relatively accurate. Especially the radial dependence of the strain if a central core of normal material is present, is described quit well by the analytical model. The strain inside a wire surrounded by epoxy and subjected to a transverse load is almost uniform and can be approximated with an analytical model too. When yielding is involved to simulate a more localised transverse load inside a multifilamentary wire it is necessary to consider a numerical model

Improving the quality of medical care hypertension through the introduction of internal audit mechanism

Clinical audit is the process of improving the quality of care provided by the systematic verification of care with clearly defined criteria and subject to subsequent changes. The purpose of the study is to show the possibility of the author's model of quality management of medical care on the basis of the mechanism of internal audit in hypertensive patients, introduced in the Sumy City Clinic Hospital number 5
