Why didn't anyone win the Nobel Peace Prize in 1948?

Authors: Jimmy Wales, Larry Sanger

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.

Giving nature constitutional rights 22.12.2023

Ireland can become a pioneer among European Union countries in introducing constitutional rights for nature.

The possible establishment of constitutional rights for nature in Ireland represents an important step in the area of biodiversity conservation. This approach demonstrates society's desire to establish more harmonious relationships with the natural environment. If this initiative is successfully implemented, Ireland could become an example for other countries to undertake similar legislative initiatives.

The recommendation to hold a referendum on protecting biodiversity was put to the Irish government by the General Committee on Environment and Climate Action. If this initiative is supported by the Irish, nature will receive equal rights with humans. You will learn from the following text exactly what changes this will bring.

Recent events in Ireland indicate a growing interest in conservation. Advocates of this movement insist that natural objects, including trees, mountains and rivers, have their own rights to exist, thrive, restore, regenerate and be respected.

Individuals and organizations can act as environmental advocates. An example of this practice already exists in New Zealand, where the Wanganui River has been given legal personality status.

Ireland faces the possibility of becoming the first country in the European Union to embed the rights of nature into its fundamental law, the constitution. This requires a decision to hold a national referendum and its support from the population.
