In 1815, in France, after the "hundred days" and the subsequent restoration of the Bourbons, proscription lists of persons who contributed to the return from the island of Elba and the new accession of Napoleon were compiled. Mass arrests of revolutionaries and Bonapartists began. "Across France... a wave of 'white terror' swept through, as this movement was then (for the first time in history) called" (EV Tarle, Talleyrand, M. 1939, p. 144).

Artificial leather for touch emulation 15.04.2024

In a modern technology world where distance is becoming increasingly commonplace, maintaining connection and a sense of closeness is important. Recent developments in artificial skin by German scientists from Saarland University represent a new era in virtual interactions. German researchers from Saarland University have developed ultra-thin films that can transmit the sensation of touch over a distance. This cutting-edge technology provides new opportunities for virtual communication, especially for those who find themselves far from their loved ones. The ultra-thin films developed by the researchers, just 50 micrometers thick, can be integrated into textiles and worn like a second skin. These films act as sensors that recognize tactile signals from mom or dad, and as actuators that transmit these movements to the baby. Parents' touch to the fabric activates sensors that react to pressure and deform the ultra-thin film. This ... >>

The attractiveness of caring men 14.04.2024

The stereotype that women prefer "bad boys" has long been widespread. However, recent research conducted by British scientists from Monash University offers a new perspective on this issue. They looked at how women responded to men's emotional responsibility and willingness to help others. The study's findings could change our understanding of what makes men attractive to women. A study conducted by scientists from Monash University leads to new findings about men's attractiveness to women. In the experiment, women were shown photographs of men with brief stories about their behavior in various situations, including their reaction to an encounter with a homeless person. Some of the men ignored the homeless man, while others helped him, such as buying him food. A study found that men who showed empathy and kindness were more attractive to women compared to men who showed empathy and kindness. ... >>

Grandpa's diet affects grandchildren 03.03.2003

Overeating grandparents may be ruining the health of their grandchildren. In any case, this is the conclusion of a study conducted by Swedish scientists.

Gunnar Kaati and his collaborators collected the medical histories of 300 Swedes born between 1890 and 1920 and compared these data with information about the harvest collected in the country during their childhood (from this information one can judge how they ate in childhood). And then they studied the health of their grandchildren. It turned out that the grandchildren of well-nourished grandparents were four times more likely to develop diabetes than the grandchildren of those whose childhood was relatively hungry. In addition, they are more likely to develop heart disease.

The reason for this relationship is unclear. According to all the laws of genetics, the peculiarities of the life path of grandparents cannot affect future grandchildren. Hunger or satiety in the genes are not deposited.
