Keywords: multidisciplinary innovation; education; transformations; entrepreneurship; social change; STEM; learning; teacher roles; pedagogical interactions.

The modern world needs innovations that solve complex problems and lead to positive social change. Education is a key factor in stimulating these innovations, and STEM learning, with its focus on science, technology, engineering and mathematics, is an engine for the transformation of education. Multidisciplinary innovations are the basis of progress in STEM education. They consist in integrating STEM disciplines with other fields, such as art, humanities and social sciences. This approach stimulates creative thinking, problem solving and the construction of new knowledge. Each of the aspects of the STEM philosophy provides an opportunity for multidisciplinarity and the development of key competencies for the 21st century: critical thinking, creativity, problem solving, teamwork, communication, digital literacy; to prepare students for the labor market; to promote social responsibility, because STEM projects can be aimed at solving real problems in society; to overcome educational inequalities.The modern world needs innovations that solve complex problems and lead to positive social changes.

Keywords: interdisciplinary learning; future primary teachers; practice and experience

The modern realities in education require teachers to be well prepared in order to be adequate to the new trends by carrying out an innovative process of learning and education fully tailored to the needs of the students of the "new" generation. The need for in-depth theoretical and practical training of future pedagogues in higher education is realized. That is why, recently, various opportunities are being sought more and more often, through which interdisciplinary training can be carried out in the preparation of students from pedagogical specialties. Particularly useful are the opportunities for direct observation of the educational process in a school environment, thanks to the established good partnership relations between the university and the school base institutions. In the present work, an attempt is made to outline innovative opportunities for interaction between the disciplines „primary school pedagogy“, „current pedagogical practice, „intern pedagogical practice“in primary school for the successful preparation of future primary teachers. Good practices for teaching students of pedagogical specialties implemented in schools with different educational environments are presented.

This article traces the relationship between the levels of self-efficacy and those of learned helplessness among 135 individuals. They were between the ages of 16 and 47. 76.3% of them were female, respectively 23.7% were male. The results of the study show that the levels of the two phenomena studied are above average. A correlation analysis was also conducted to determine the presence of relationships between self-efficacy and learned helplessness. As expected, the relationship is negative and moderate with a value of -0.68. Those who have higher results on the self-efficacy scale have lower results on the learned helplessness scale and vice versa.

INFLUENCE OF PULSED ARC ENERGETIC CONDENSATION ON DEPOSITION OF ta-C FILMS

ВЛИЯНИЕ НА ВИСОКО ЕНЕРГИЙНО ИМПУЛСНО-ДЪГОВО КАТОДНО РАЗПРАШАВАНЕ ПРИ ОТЛАГАНЕ НА СВОБОДНИ ОТ ВОДОРОД ТЕТРАХЕДРАЛНИ АМОРФНИ ВЪГЛЕРОДНИ ПОКРИТИЯ (ta-C)

Author(s): Ivaylo S. Dolchinkov / Language(s): English / Publication Year: 0

Keywords: Tetrahedral amorphous Carbon, ta-C; Energetic impinging ions; Subplantation; Pulsed arc technic; sp2 (graphite-like) and sp3 (diamond-like) bonds

The physical properties of deposited Carbon-based films are strongly dependent on the ratio of sp2 (graphite-like) to sp3 (diamond-like) bonds. In the “Subplantation model” of Lifshitz et al. and of Robertson, incident ions of sufficient energy penetrate the surface of the growing film, enter interstitial subsurface and increase the local density. The ions with lower energy will not be able to penetrate the surface and will form sp2 bonds. Thus, the structure of the deposited films is mainly determined by the energy of the impinging the substrate Carbon ions and the following relaxation effect linked with the temperature during deposition. For this study films were deposited using pulsed arc technic. There are clear facts how deposition rate influences the nano-hardness and roughness of the coatings. It was also found that dopants can significantly increase the deposition rates.

ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY IN POWER TRANSISTOR CONVERSION DEVICES

ЕЛЕКТРОМАГНИТНА СЪВМЕСТИМОСТ В СИЛОВИТЕ ТРАНЗИСТОРНИ ПРЕОБРАЗУВАТЕЛНИ УСТРОЙСТВА

Author(s): Daniela J. Mareva / Language(s): Bulgarian / Publication Year: 0

Keywords: Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC); power transistor converters; strategies

Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) is an important factor in power converter devices. It represents the ability of these systems and devices to function in a common electromagnetic environment. Recently, power electronics has become a dominant factor in the degradation of the electromagnetic environment, causing a deterioration of the network power quality and an increasing level of conducted EMI. Failure to comply with the requirements and standards can cause unwanted effects, especially such as electromagnetic interference (EMI) and even defecting of individual nodes of the circuit according to which the device is implemented. The assessment of electromagnetic compatibility is important from both a technical and a legal point of view. The purpose of this article is to review the basics of electromagnetic compatibility in power electronics, including the terminology and categories of electromagnetic compatibility, the propagation and generation of low- frequency and high-frequency disturbances.
