Teaching physics, as any other natural science,
is directed to laying the foundations of the science first, followed by further
building up of specific knowledge, irrespective of the level at which the
subject is taught. The process invariably involves overlapping of previous
and new knowledge, on one hand, and knowledge overlap from subjects marginal
to physics (mathematics, chemistry, biology), on the other.
It is known from physics that interference may occur under certain conditions,
when two mechanical oscillations overlap, i.e. a picture in which sites with
interference minima and maxima can be observed. The condition required is
that the sources must be coherent, i.e. must have identical frequency.
The theory of this purely physical process can be successfully applied in
physical text analysis, with the purpose of following the interference within
the subject itself, as well as among subjects marginal to physics.
Keywords: interference, physics, text.

The assessment of the engineering education
with the help of an ergonomic approach is one possible and necessary method
for feedback in the Assesment and Maintanance of the Quality of Education
System. (AMQES).
From the research with an ergonomic control card of the basic factors of the
engineering training can be concluded:
- there exists motivation and satisfaction from the choice of the engineering
profession among the students;
- the training of the UCTM students in terms of theory is “very good”
for 45 % of the interviewed students, and for their specialised training a
“very good” assesment give 20%. The practical training is a weak
part in the training – 52 % assess it as “unsatisfactory”.
The students make relatively great but bearable efforts for their training.
The students’ health is a factor that has to be taken in mind together
with the success in the education.
Keywords: quality of education, Assesment and Maintanance

The change of market conditions brought
to the changing of accents in marketing. There is a necessity of proceeding
from the marketing with orientation “inside- out” to marketing
with orientation “outside- in” that submits an accent not only
on the product, but on the individual relations with the customers, too. In
the article, the external and internal factors are under consideration, that
have influence on the business success. Beside the customer satisfaction,
we discuss other strategy approaches such as economical, technological, contractual
binding and binding of customers with a trust and a commitment. We present
in the article, by way of example activities of different instrumental fields,
measures which can be used within the framework of instrumental implementation
of customer binding strategy.

Firm culture finds its application in the
management of people in the production process and engineers need an appropriate
training. In this connection the future engineer-technologists for the chemical
and metallurgical production of the University of Chemical Technology and
Metallurgy master the theoretical background and practical skills of firm
culture. A level of their preparation, both theoretical and practical, is
evaluated by setting on everybody a specific observation in real surroundings.
This task consisted of two stages. The first practical task required eight
factors for increasing of labour productivity to be arranged according to
their significance. The objective the second practical task was to concede
a possibility to the students to investigate and to analyse the firm culture
of their own university.

The article presents the advantages of a
collateral evaluation through a combination of an examination and a didactic
test.
Analyzed are the types of control and the essential qualities of the examination,
the didactic test and the combination of these methods, including via internet.
The examination and the didactic test are explored separately, determining
their benefits and shortcomings.
A well motivated conclusion is drawn to the fact that the combination of an
examination and a test considerably reduces the disadvantages of each method
of evaluation. The presence of a "person" behind the test ultimately
raises the interest of those being assessed while the results of the test
maintain the perception of security during an examination. The formation of
a combined assessment eliminates or reduces the disadvantages of the evaluation
process conducted solely by means of an examination or a test. The article
concludes that the disadvantages of each method of evaluation - either test
or examination - may be significantly diminished when they are used to form
a collateral assessment while their advantages are well maintained.
The authors devise an exemplary methodology for executing control over the
learning process using these two methods in a combination.
Keywords: didactic test, examination, collateral assessment.

The proposed system for check-up and control
of Bulgarian language knowledge is a complex of tests and written examinations,
based on the school material studied throughout the preparatory course in
Bulgarian language for foreign language students. The system is coordinated
with the changed nationality of the students at the Medical University of
Plovdiv during the last years /mostly from Turkey/, which requires new methodical
priorities.
The different level and time of mastering the language make necessary the
complex use of tests and written examinations more frequently.
The system includes four tests and four written examinations for the First
Semester and two tests and two written examinations for the Second Semester.
The test – written examination ratio is made on the “levels’
gradation” principle. The tasks are divided into groups depending on
the studied grammatical categories. The greater control frequency gives the
opportunity for a more effective check-up of the acquired skills on a phonetic,
lexical, morphological and syntactic level, as well as the command of the
literary language norm. The attained results allow a well-timed interference
of the teacher in cases of insufficient acquirement of the amount of knowledge,
as well as overcoming some frequently noticed mistakes.
The principle of structuring the tests and the written examinations is different
– at the tests a higher level of orientation is activated and at the
written examinations a check-up of systematics and consistency is required.
The proposed system for check-up and control of Bulgarian language knowledge
at the preparatory course of foreign language teaching is open to continuous
enrichments and renovations.
Keywords: test, written examination, control, check-up, grammatical
categories.

Everyone must possess physical and psychological
endurance to perform certain activities in the tense atmosphere of everyday
life. The situation of the students is the same – many of them not only
study but they also work to make their living. Their health and workability
is important condition for success and realization in the future profession.
That is why the teaching staff of the Department of Physical Education and
Sports at the UCTM have pointed their efforts in that direction – they
try to improve the general physical condition and to have positive influence
on their phyche. Regular participation in sports classes helps decreasing
mental stress and develops striving to improve the personal qualities. The
students acquire the mentioned components of sports training as well as basic
theoretical knowledge and technical and tactical skills of practiced sports
discipline.
There has been established a purpose to search students ideas for improving
the teaching process of physical education with using an inquiry and to perform
comparative analysis with the results of former years.
We can say that the time for increasing the number of sports classes at University
and particularly at the UCTM has come. That is because students need more
movement and ways to keep their health. The established approach will have
social part – attracting more young people to sports and not to negative
habits – smoking, drinking alcohol and taking drugs. The sports facilities
of the University should also be improved with some up–to–date
constructions for preventing injuries, increasing the satisfactory effect
of sports classes and establishing hygiene habits of students.

The research paper examines the opportunities
to have foreign students studying Bulgarian get acquainted with narrative
literature. Interpretation of the text is based on an attempt to identify
the explicit meanings of the three communication planes (according to the
classification of O.-Slavinska - Saparev), as well as to establish the hierarchy
of their levels.
This method allows the students to broaden their perceptions of the symbolic
nature of the text, as well as to master and develop decoding techniques.
Furthermore, in the process of their own individual interpretation students
can get involved into the other proofs of the de-multiplicative nature of
fictional discourse.
The research is based on authors and literary pieces with considerable differences
in their intentions according to the principle "differentiation between
character-donator - narrator - implicit author".

Thermodynamics is an abstract field of theoretical
physics and naturally foreign students have difficulties in learning it.
Bioenergetics, which deals with the energy exchange between organisms and
the environment, requires gradual progression into the theory of thermodynamics.
The aim of the is to offer a methodological elaboration on the topic. By combining
the knowledge in physics, chemistry and biology already accumulated, and the
intuitive notions of temperature, heat, work and energy, the students from
the preparatory course get acquainted with the basic concepts, principles
and regularities of thermodynamics, without going further into their theoretical
explanations and mathematical deductions. Thus the students can use the to
understand and learn the physical, chemical, biophysical, biochemical and
physiological processes studied in the preclinical departments of the Medical
Universities in Bulgaria.

Thermoelectric phenomena find application in measuring temperature
and in transforming heat into electricity. The absolute thermoelectric power
of a metal can be obtained experimentally. Recently, a method proposed by
Prof. Brodowsky permits its estimation from data of the electronic structure.
In the present paper this method, together with quantum mechanical data for
the electronic density of yttrium published by the group of Prof. Papakostantopoulos
is used for the estimation of the temperature dependence of the thermopower
of yttrium.. The calculated values are compared with the experimental data
in the paper of Prof. Vedernikov. It is shown that in a definite temperature
range a good coincidence is observed, which can be treated as a proof for
the application of the method used.

The synonymy and repetition have their own
place in all styles. To a great extent their using frequency depends on the
particularities of the style. Their participation in written literature is
less dependant on the topic of discussion.
The research is actually a comparison between the use of synonymy repetition
as lexical forms in different texts associated with medicine. We come from
the idea that the synonyms are a device for diversifying and/or enriching
the expressing form, for achieving great expression. The repetition usually
minimizes the quibble and reduces the possibility for various interpretations
of the written text. In this direction certain reciprocity, character is defined
predominantly from the written style, is presumed in the use of both forms
in the framework of a text.
Five products with similar volume of the following styles are examined: artistic,
publicistic, scientific, informative, scientific-study. Quantatively a certain
extent of use of synonymy and repetition is determined. The received data
are statistically processed using the methods of variation analysis and the
results are carefully studied. Certain differences in the frequency of use
of synonyms and repetition in a style as well as in various styles are determined.
The synonymy is most widely spread in the scientific style, and repetition
– in artistic one.
On the background of peculiarities, typical for medical topics an attempt
for explaining the registered interstyle and differences is made.
Keywords: synonymy, repetition, style, medical topics.
