In which country can citizens freely find out the income of any other citizens?

The Swedish authorities pay great attention to the openness and transparency of public relations.

Any citizen can apply to the tax service and receive a tax return of any other citizen, that is, find out the level of his income. In this case, the person whose declaration was requested receives a notification in which the name of the person concerned is indicated.

What is a scorpion?

The mere mention of the word "scorpion" makes us think of a dangerous poison. This is because meeting with a scorpion can be very unpleasant. Although, say, in the United States, deadly poisonous scorpions are actually found only in Arizona. These scorpions are relatives of the Durango scorpion, which lives in Mexico, whose bite kills a person in 1 hour. And over the past 35 years, about 1600 people have died from its bite.

On the territory of the former USSR, scorpions are found in the countries of Central Asia, in the Transcaucasus and in the Crimea. Scorpions are relatives of the spider. The scorpion has four pairs of legs, two strong claw-shaped pedipals, with which it usually holds prey.

Also, the scorpion has a long articulated tail, at the end of which there is a pointed sting, connected by ducts to poisonous glands. When moving, the scorpion keeps its tail curved in an arc over its body. Having caught prey with claw-shaped pedipals, the scorpion bends its tail over its head and plunges its sting into the victim. The venom either kills or paralyzes insects, spiders, and other creatures that the scorpion feeds on.

Basically, the scorpion is nocturnal, and during the day it hides in the shade, for example, under a stone, under bark or in dark corners of the house. Adult scorpions usually live and wander alone. The scorpion is a viviparous animal, and after birth, small scorpions cling to the mother's back, but she does not feed them, and after a few days the babies leave and live on their own. Scorpions live in hot climates. In size, they vary from 1 to 17 cm in length, and the largest species are found in the tropics.

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 ... >>

Climate change will make air travel less comfortable 16.04.2017

Air travel may become less comfortable due to climate change. Turbulence will become two to three times more common. This conclusion was made by researchers working at the University of Reading (England).

British scientists have tried to predict the change in the number of perturbations of air masses and their intensity under the condition of doubling carbon dioxide emissions. As stated, the resulting increase in vertical air currents will lead to the fact that the number of minor manifestations of turbulence will increase by 59%, medium-strength disturbances will increase by 94%, and large disturbances (in which unbelted passengers and crew members can be injured) - by 149% .

In other words, the airways will become more "bumpy". To deal with this, according to scientists, it is possible only by determining safer routes, taking into account the analysis of the state of the atmosphere.
