On the 22 May, 2018 Dr. F. Gelman gave a lecture for students and staff on the topic: «Analysis of stable isotopes for tracing organic pollutants in the environment».
Dr. F. Gelman said that the weakening of the impact of organic pollutants on the environment can arise as a result of degradation and / or degradation transformation. The degradation of a pollutant as a result of biological or chemical processes can lead to its mineralization and transformation into other organic compounds. However, in some cases, decomposition products may be even more dangerous than the original pollutant. In connection with this, in their studies the scientific group Dc. F. Gelman develops and uses multi-element isotope analysis to investigate the decomposition of organic pollutants in the environment. At the center of their research are groundwater pollution by gasoline hydrocarbons, brominated hydrocarbons and chlorinated hydrocarbons.
On April 25, an online seminar was held by Professor Michael McCarthy on the topic “Corpora and the Advanced Level: Bridges to Specialization”. The possibility of using corpora in teaching advanced-level students is already on the agenda.
On May 15 and 18, more than 100 undergraduate and graduate students of the Foreign Languages Institute participated in the new format of the Student Research School 2020. The things that rallied the participants included not only the remote format on Microsoft Teams platform, which had already become familiar, but also the presentation of the material in a simple, clear language. The speakers were the students themselves.
On February 10-14 the course of lectures Communicative Actions of Specialists Working with Migrants: Theoretical Foundations and Practices took place at the Institute of Modern Languages, Intercultural Communication and Migration. Anne Delizee, Associate Professor at Mons University (Belgium), conducted eight classes for students of the Migration Processes and Intercultural Communication Master Program.
