LEGAL AND REGULATORY SUPPORT OF NEUROPEDAGOGY IN THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION by Elena S. Balashova, Lidiya V. Sofronova, Dmitry A. Stroganov

“…The result of the study is the systematization of the regulatory framework for neuropedagogy in modern Russia and the identification of its gaps. The legal foundations of innovative and knowledge-intensive areas of educational development today are diffuse and partly incomplete, leaving opportunities not only for the development of this area of ​​activity, but also for the abuse of innovative technologies to replace the actual learning process, and understanding this is necessary for the further improvement of educational law. …”

Scanning near-field optical microscopy on rough surfaces: applications in chemistry, biology, and medicine

“…<p>Shear-force apertureless scanning near-field optical microscopy (SNOM) with very sharp uncoated tapered waveguides relies on the unexpected enhancement of reflection in the shear-force gap. It is the technique for obtaining chemical (materials) contrast in the optical image of &#8220;real world&#8221; surfaces that are rough and very rough without topographical artifacts, and it is by far less complicated than other SNOM techniques that can only be used for very flat surfaces. …”
