Why do people need schools?

People have lived in groups since ancient times. Each group, clan, tried to stick together and strove to preserve this community even after the death of its individual members. In order to preserve the family and its values, the elders should teach the children everything they knew themselves, so that the children could cope with the problems in the future. Young people had to study in order to preserve the traditions, knowledge and experience of the group.

Thus the idea of "education" is much older than the schools themselves. But with the invention of writing, schools became a necessity. Special training was required to master the letters. And the existence of letters made it possible to accumulate and transfer knowledge at a level that was inaccessible until then.

Everyday life in the family could not provide such an education. Therefore, a special institution was needed to deal with this. And that was the school.

No one knows when the first schools appeared. We only know that already five or six thousand years ago there were schools in Egypt, perhaps in China and in some other countries. But it was only in the XNUMXth century that the idea that education could improve the individual and society began to spread. And only about a hundred years ago, education began to be considered the right of every child.

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. ... >>

Purification of drinking water from drugs 23.11.2021

Researchers at the University of Johannesburg have developed a method for monitoring wastewater. It helps detect antiretroviral drugs that are prescribed for HIV and AIDS.

Wastewater treatment plants cannot remove pharmaceuticals that enter rivers from wastewater. Often people flush the tablets down the toilet, in addition, they enter the wastewater with urine or feces (a certain amount of the drug is not absorbed, but excreted by the body).

A new study has found a simple and fast way to detect antiretroviral drugs. The method involves the production of an environmentally friendly adsorbent, which takes about two days. A modified composite with activated carbon alginate is used as a sorbent. The porous structure, large surface area and many functional groups make the adsorbent suitable for efficient adsorption of target analytes.

Water samples are pre-concentrated before analysis. Water samples are taken from the river upstream and downstream of the wastewater treatment plant, which is the most efficient method.

It is expected that such a purification method will allow the removal of toxic microimpurities in drinking water.
