Over the fight

Romain Rolland

Phraseologism: Over the fight.

Meaning: About the position of non-intervention in any conflict, about the desire to remain in the role of an outside observer.

Origin: Title of a collection (1915) of articles by the French writer Romain Rolland (1866-1944). On the eve of the First World War, the writer declared himself a pacifist and sharply condemned the military plans of the French government. Already in Switzerland, where he moved, fearing persecution for his pacifist articles, he published a series of articles there in the "Journal de Geneve" (1914), which were published (1915) in a separate collection called "Au-dessus de la mêlée" ("Above the fight" or in another translation - "Away from the fight"). In 1935, Romain Rolland remembered his old work and again used this expression, but in the opposite sense. Becoming an active supporter of the anti-fascist front, he published a book called "Dans la mêlée" ("In the fight"). That is, by this he wanted to emphasize that now, on the eve of a new world war, the situation has changed radically - people know what to fight for, they know who to fight against.

Random phraseology:

A million torments.

Meaning:

About all kinds of nervous, long, various troubles, as well as heavy thoughts, doubts about any important matter.

Origin:

From the comedy "Woe from Wit" (1824) by A. S. Griboyedov (1795-1829). The words of Chatsky (act. 3, yavl. 22): "Yes, there is no urine: a million torments // Breasts from friendly vices, // Feet from shuffling, ears from exclamations, And more than a head from all sorts of trifles." The expression became winged thanks to the widely known article "A Million of Torments" (1872) by the writer Ivan Goncharov (1812-1891), who rethought Griboedov's expression in it in the spirit of his time - spiritual, moral torments.

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. ... >>

Video capsule with remote control as an alternative to the endoscope 14.06.2023

The use of video capsules as an endoscopic instrument already has some history, however, they were previously uncontrollable as they completely relied on gravity and gastrointestinal peristalsis for locomotion. However, the researchers managed to overcome this limitation by creating a tablet with a camera and a remote control system.

Scientists at the George Washington University School of Medicine and Health Sciences have developed a method that allows doctors to control a miniature video capsule called NaviCam that a patient swallows and passes through the entire digestive system, allowing them to visualize and photograph potentially problematic areas. An external magnet and joysticks are used to move the capsule.

"Traditional endoscopy is an invasive procedure and also costly. The magnetically guided video capsule can be used as a quick and easy way to diagnose problems with the upper digestive system, such as an ulcer or stomach cancer," says Professor of Emergency Medicine at the School of Medicine and Medical in George Washington University, Andrew Meltzer.

The technology is in the testing phase, but early results have been encouraging. Doctors were able to control the capsule in all major parts of the stomach of 40 patients with an imaging accuracy of 95%. Trial participants also underwent conventional endoscopy to confirm the absence of high-risk lesions.

Initially, the camera is designed to detect bleeding, inflammation and other problems, and can also automatically transmit video and images for later review. Previous official studies have shown that the use of the video capsule does not pose a risk to health, but it cannot be used for biopsy, as it remains inside the body and naturally leaves it.

In April of this year, the first successful procedure for examining a child using a video capsule (without remote control) was carried out in Ukraine at the Okhmatdit National Children's Specialized Hospital. The technology can be used to examine children from the age of 2 years, and during the procedure, the little patient can move freely - jump, walk, run, sit, lie down or play. An hour after the procedure, you are allowed to drink, and after three hours - to eat.
