How long has craniotomy been practiced?

According to archaeologists, craniotomy (an operation to open the cranial cavity of a living person) was practiced in prehistoric times, especially in the Neolithic era in France, as well as in pre-Columbian Peru.

The purpose of trepanation, as it is today, seems to have been to treat fractures and tumors. In many tribes, it was also used as a radical remedy for insanity and even headaches (the meaning of the operation is to release the evil spirit locked inside).

Healed bones show that the patient often, if not always, underwent surgery. In many cases, it obviously did not lead to success, as evidenced by skulls with traces of several trepanations (up to seven).

How long does it take for a panda to eat?

The giant panda, or bamboo bear, living in the mountains of Tibet and China, is a rather large animal (body length 120-180 centimeters).

The panda feeds mainly on bamboo shoots. Since they are low in nutrition, only one fifth of the absorbed mass is absorbed.

In order not to die of hunger, an adult panda has to eat up to 40 kilograms of bamboo shoots per day, for which it takes about 16 hours.

Machine for thinning flowers in gardens 02.05.2024

In modern agriculture, technological progress is developing aimed at increasing the efficiency of plant care processes. The innovative Florix flower thinning machine was presented in Italy, designed to optimize the harvesting stage. This tool is equipped with mobile arms, allowing it to be easily adapted to the needs of the garden. The operator can adjust the speed of the thin wires by controlling them from the tractor cab using a joystick. This approach significantly increases the efficiency of the flower thinning process, providing the possibility of individual adjustment to the specific conditions of the garden, as well as the variety and type of fruit grown in it. After testing the Florix machine for two years on various types of fruit, the results were very encouraging. Farmers such as Filiberto Montanari, who has used a Florix machine for several years, have reported a significant reduction in the time and labor required to thin flowers. ... >>

Advanced Infrared Microscope 02.05.2024

Microscopes play an important role in scientific research, allowing scientists to delve into structures and processes invisible to the eye. However, various microscopy methods have their limitations, and among them was the limitation of resolution when using the infrared range. But the latest achievements of Japanese researchers from the University of Tokyo open up new prospects for studying the microworld. Scientists from the University of Tokyo have unveiled a new microscope that will revolutionize the capabilities of infrared microscopy. This advanced instrument allows you to see the internal structures of living bacteria with amazing clarity on the nanometer scale. Typically, mid-infrared microscopes are limited by low resolution, but the latest development from Japanese researchers overcomes these limitations. According to scientists, the developed microscope allows creating images with a resolution of up to 120 nanometers, which is 30 times higher than the resolution of traditional microscopes. ... >>

Air trap for insects 01.05.2024

Agriculture is one of the key sectors of the economy, and pest control is an integral part of this process. A team of scientists from the Indian Council of Agricultural Research-Central Potato Research Institute (ICAR-CPRI), Shimla, has come up with an innovative solution to this problem - a wind-powered insect air trap. This device addresses the shortcomings of traditional pest control methods by providing real-time insect population data. The trap is powered entirely by wind energy, making it an environmentally friendly solution that requires no power. Its unique design allows monitoring of both harmful and beneficial insects, providing a complete overview of the population in any agricultural area. “By assessing target pests at the right time, we can take necessary measures to control both pests and diseases,” says Kapil ... >>

Office time optimization 20.08.2023

A global survey conducted jointly by Slack and research firm Qualtrics of more than 18 office workers and executives around the world revealed that 000% of company work time is spent on activities that do not make a meaningful contribution. Such activities include useless meetings, formal email responses, and other similar tasks.

The most significant time wasted by office workers is in India (43% of inefficient work time), Japan (37%) and Singapore (36%). Employees in the US and South Korea, by contrast, showed higher efficiency in the use of working time.

Researchers have identified the concept of "performative work" as a major source of inefficient use of time. This type of work often involves many meetings where the emphasis is on presenting achievements rather than making decisions or solving actual problems.

The desire to give the impression of being busy, rather than actually being productive, has to do with how management evaluates employee performance. The practice of faking meeting activity and being online for long periods of time often affects performance ratings.

An examination of survey data showed that 63% of survey participants tend to maintain an active online status, even when they are not actually busy with work tasks.

More than half of those surveyed believe that the most effective way to keep employees productive is to provide flexible working hours, while 36% said it is important to be able to work from multiple locations.

Only a third of survey participants (32%) believe that maximum productivity is achievable only in an office environment.
