In which Abrahamic religions do women have the right to receive holy orders?

In the Abrahamic world religions - Judaism, Islam and Christianity - women traditionally could not claim the clergy (with the exception of abbesses in Christian convents). However, at the end of the 20th century, in various currents of the listed religions, women began to be allowed ordination. If Orthodox Judaism still does not recognize the right of women to be rabbis, then in Reform Judaism they already have such a right.

In China, Muslim women can become imams in special women's mosques, and in Western countries, especially Canada, there are female imams who preach even to men. Ordination of women is allowed in most Protestant communities, in Anglicanism they can be not only deacons, but more recently also bishops. But the Orthodox and Catholic churches categorically deny the possibility of raising women to the clergy.

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 ... >>

Laser space communications will be tested from the moon 07.07.2012

In 2013, the European Space Agency's LADEE probe will be launched to the Moon. In addition to the next series of studies of the Earth's satellite, the device will for the first time test a new laser high-speed communication system. The new system, developed under the LLCD project, will provide communication between the LADEE probe and two NASA ground stations in California and New Mexico, as well as an ESA ground station in Tenerife, Spain.

The LLCD optical receiver will be installed in Tenerife next March. The launch of LADEE is scheduled for mid-2013, and the first laser communications tests will take place about four weeks after the probe enters lunar orbit. A spacecraft using a laser digital communication channel will be able to transmit data at the highest speed. According to experts, in one second it will be possible to transfer the amount of information equivalent to dozens of films. The exact speed will be measured during testing.

LLCD is a powerful infrared laser emitter with a wavelength of 1550 nm. The digital signal uses new types of modulation and coding. The LLCD also uses the latest positioning and high-precision laser beam guidance technologies. In order to provide stable continuous communication in conditions, for example, heavy clouds over the main ground receiver, several ground stations will have to be used.

It should be noted that it will be extremely difficult for unauthorized people and organizations to intercept such a signal and decipher it. The laser communication system is especially needed to create a new generation of optical links that are needed to transmit large amounts of data during deep space missions. At present, even the most modern spacecraft use radio waves for communication, requiring large and bulky "dishes" of radio antennas and drives corresponding in size and power consumption.
