When was the first sculpture created?

Sculpture is probably the oldest art. People carved stone even before they started painting or even building houses. Only a small number of objects have survived, illustrating what sculpture was like thousands of years ago. But people living today at a primitive stage of development often carve objects from stone that can give an idea of \uXNUMXb\uXNUMXbprehistoric sculpture.

Prehistoric sculpture was not supposed to be beautiful. It has always been intended to be used in rituals. The figures of men, women and animals were made in honor of the forces of nature, which were worshiped as evil or good spirits. Early civilizations also used sculpture to express their beliefs.

The ancient Egyptians believed in life after death, and they carved life-size or larger statues of their rulers, nobility and gods out of stone. Statues were placed in graves, and the Egyptians believed that the spirit of the deceased person would return to it. One of the greatest periods in the history of sculpture came with the advent of the Greek civilization - around 600 BC. e.

For the Greeks, sculpture became one of the most important forms of expression. The Greeks made the image of the human figure the main object of their art. Greek sculpture was always looking for the best ways to depict the human figure.

During the first millennium of Christianity, very few sculptures were created. But over the next three centuries, some of the most impressive Christian churches were built, and a large number of sculptures were created to decorate these churches. Later, during the Renaissance, the human figure was exalted again, and the great sculptors created masterpieces that constitute the treasury of world culture.

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 ... >>

Petgugu Global cat litter 15.04.2024

Taking care of pets can often be a challenge, especially when it comes to keeping your home clean. A new interesting solution from the Petgugu Global startup has been presented, which will make life easier for cat owners and help them keep their home perfectly clean and tidy. Startup Petgugu Global has unveiled a unique cat toilet that can automatically flush feces, keeping your home clean and fresh. This innovative device is equipped with various smart sensors that monitor your pet's toilet activity and activate to automatically clean after use. The device connects to the sewer system and ensures efficient waste removal without the need for intervention from the owner. Additionally, the toilet has a large flushable storage capacity, making it ideal for multi-cat households. The Petgugu cat litter bowl is designed for use with water-soluble litters and offers a range of additional ... >>

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. ... >>

Soil genetic analysis 12.05.2021

The soil microbial community is fundamental to plant development. In agricultural production, in addition to participating in soil structuring, microorganisms interact directly with the root system of the plant, helping to supply nutrients, protect against diseases, increase resistance and modulate plant growth. Thus, the more known about these microorganisms, the more effective is the management of resource use and the result in crop yields.

The new technology will scan these organisms to help Brazilian farmers make decisions. Startup Biome4All is commercializing agroanalysis in Brazil, specifically a platform that analyzes the DNA of bacteria and fungi present in soil. Based on the information received, soil quality parameters will be established and conclusions will be drawn about agricultural productivity and biosecurity risks.

It is an innovative tool for analyzing DNA sequencing data from microbiomes, and by correlating this information with performance and environmental quality parameters made by Andrios and DSMA partner companies, they can help the manufacturer or companies make decisions in this area.

According to Dr. Christian Andreote, director of Andrios, this information constitutes a data set that supports the technical analysis of soil samples, both for development projects and to help companies and growers verify product management and application, confirming the improvements brought about by soil microbiology.

The new technology can be applied in assessing the risk of exposure of non-target organisms to genetically modified plants.

This analysis, which draws on knowledge from the fields of microbiology and molecular biology, is used by companies that seek commercial registration of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) that may interact with the soil microbiome, as this diagnosis is necessary to assess the biosafety of their release into the environment.
