Apollo
Ancient Greek and Roman mythology
Phraseologism: Apollo.
Meaning: Handsome young man.
Origin: In Greek mythology, Apollo is the god of the sun, youth, poetry, music, and the arts. Usually he was portrayed as a beautiful young man.
Random phraseology:
Every nation has the government that it deserves.
Meaning:
If the government is bad, immoral, inefficient, then the citizens of the country themselves are to blame for this, they allow such a government to exist, cannot control it, etc.
Origin:
From a letter (dated August 27, 1811) from the envoy of the Sardinian kingdom to the Russian court, Count Joseph de Maistre (1753-1821). In this letter, the count wrote to his government about the new laws established by Emperor Alexander I. It is possible that the Sardinian envoy paraphrased the well-known phrase of the philosopher and educator Charles Louis Montesquieu from his essay "The Spirit of the Laws": "Every nation is worthy of its fate." Joseph de Maistre spent 14 years in Russia (from 1803 to 1817), wrote the book St. Petersburg Evenings, which, like his other works, had a certain influence on the work of many Russian writers. |

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. ... >>
| Random news from the Archive Copper for hospital
09.11.2008
A curious experiment has been going on in one of the hospitals in Birmingham (Great Britain) for almost a year. They took two intensive care units and in one replaced with copper, brass or bronze all the steel, aluminum and plastic parts that doctors, nurses and patients touch: door and window handles, water taps, switches, buttons and so on. In another similar department, everything was left as it was and microflora samples are regularly taken from all these details.
The results of the experience have not yet been summed up, but preliminary studies conducted at the University of Southampton show that copper and its alloys have bactericidal properties. Copper prevents bacteria from breathing and damages their DNA, although the mechanism of this action is not yet clear. In any case, 10 million Staphylococcus aureus placed on a square centimeter of a copper plate (which is 10 thousand times more than the number of these microbes on the same area of a door handle in a hospital) die in an hour and a half.
Although this staphylococcus tolerates antibiotics without any harm to itself. Copper also kills Clostridium, a dangerous microorganism that is not even amenable to alcohol-based disinfection solutions that surgeons wash their hands with.
