Analysis of the specificity of obtaining educational services and adaptation of foreign citizens by Nelli I. Taraseeva, Oksana V. Baulina

“…The combination of these causal relationships led to the need to create on the basis of colleges a system of secondary vocational education for the training of foreign citizens, possibly in the form of structural divisions and groups. The organization of training, in our opinion and the experience of educational and methodological activities, can represent a parallel process for vocational training programs, supplementary education programs, which, having successfully completed a full course of training in the dual system, obtain the necessary knowledge for practical work, including not only standard methods of production, but also the latest developments in the field of science and technology. …”

Theoretical calculation on a compound formed by methyl alcohol and simmondsin by İzzet KARA, Asli ÖZTÜRK KİRAZ, Halil CETİŞLİ, Ramazan DONAT, Nuri KOLSUZ

“…In this study, the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) energies, the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) energies, the electronic properties (total energy, electronegativity, chemical hardness and softness), NBO analysis and thermodynamic parameters of a compound formed by methyl alcohol and simmondsin have been performed by using Gaussian 09W program. The structural and spectroscopic data of the molecule in the ground state have been calculated by using density functional method (DFT/B3LYP) with the 6-31++G(d,p) basis set.…”

Mechanisms of Pragmatic Focusing in Modern English-Language Versions of the “Canonical” Plot of the Blue Beard by Z. M. Chemodurova

“…Particular attention is paid to the context as one of the types of foregrounding, possessing ontological salience and realizing text-forming, expressive, evaluative, ludic functions. A comparative structural, compositional, and linguistic-stylistic analysis of eight literary texts intertextually correlated with the classic story of the Blue Beard made it possible to identify such methods of attention distribution in the modeled by A. …”
