Gentlemen of Tashkent

Saltykov-Shchedrin M.E.

Phraseologism: Gentlemen of Tashkent.

Meaning: About supporters of "Asian" forms of government, about those who are hostile to the European political tradition, the spirit of civil society.

Origin: The name of the satire (1869-1872) by Mikhail Evgrafovich Saltykov-Shchedrin (1826-1889). "Tashkent" ironically called the tsarist bureaucrats and entrepreneurs who built the railway to Tashkent. Remoteness from the controlling center and the Asian simplicity of morals contributed to the most shameless embezzlement and all sorts of abuses among these "Tashkent". (For example, the expression of the same author: "In all countries, railways serve for movement, and in our country, moreover, for theft"). But the writer expanded the scope of this image, implying by "Tashkent" a very wide range of people, consisting of persecutors of education, limited retrogrades, prone to planting "Asiaticism" in politics and public life.

Random phraseology:

Romeo and Juliet.

Meaning:

Common nouns for a young couple in love.

Origin:

Heroes of the tragedy of the same name (1597) by Shakespeare, young lovers.

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 ... >>

Medical Application for Selfies 07.04.2017

Researchers have proposed using selfie to determine the early stage of some specific diseases, the signs of which are reflected on a person's face. Among them is di George's syndrome, which provokes deformation of the facial bones, which can be treated with drugs containing calcium.

A group of scientists from the National Human Genome Research Institute proposed using selfie for specific medical purposes. We are talking about the possibility of diagnosing some extremely rare diseases from a photograph of a patient. This is especially true for di George's syndrome, which manifests itself in the deformation of organs, in parallel provoking a high risk of fungal, viral and bacterial infections.

With the help of a special electronic device that detects the presence of a rare disease from a photograph of a face, specialists using selfies will be able to track the development of the disease, monitoring its progress and suppressing it with special medicines containing calcium.
