Why were Jews not allowed to buy Tamagotchi?

During the Tamagotchi boom, this toy was also sold in Israel, but was subject to a religious ban by some Jewish communities. Jews are not allowed to work on the Sabbath, and pushing buttons to feed an animal is also a kind of work. Another reason is that Jews are not allowed to light a fire on the Sabbath, and any closure of contacts strikes a microscopic spark.

Why does blood coagulate?

We can't lose blood. Although a healthy person without a threat to life can lose up to one third of the blood, nevertheless, continuous loss of blood or loss of blood when we are sick can be very dangerous. Nature has protected us from this danger by giving the blood the ability to clot. If coagulation occurred in the circulatory system, it would be no less dangerous.

Blood does not coagulate (or clot) when it comes into contact with the smooth walls of blood vessels. Indeed, if blood is poured into a smooth-walled or lubricated glass vessel, it will not clot!

If you dip a glass rod into the blood, it won't clot either, but if you dip a wooden rod into it, the clotting will begin! Therefore, it can be considered that a rough surface or damage to the blood vessels is required to start the blood clotting process.

The first thing that happens is the appearance of very thin threads of a substance called fibrin in the blood. These threads form something like a net and entangle the blood cells, much like a cobweb entangles a fly. At this point, the flow of blood stops, and an accumulation of blood cells forms here. These fibrin strands are very strong and very elastic and can hold blood cells in a clot.

A blood clot resembles absorbent cotton, which nature has created to protect us from blood loss. Everyone's blood clots at a different rate. There are even people whose blood clots very slowly, if not at all. This condition is called hemophilia. It is a very curious disease in terms of mode of transmission.

Hemophilia only affects men, but is never transmitted directly from father to son. It is passed from father to daughter, who remains healthy but passes the disease on to his son. Thus, this illness is inherited by the grandson of the sick grandfather!

The most famous example of this disease was perhaps Queen Victoria of Great Britain. Both she and her husband inherited hemophilia from their ancestors. As a result, six of their grandchildren suffered from this disease, and among them were the Crown Prince of Spain and the son of the last Russian Tsar!

A New Way to Control and Manipulate Optical Signals 05.05.2024

The modern world of science and technology is developing rapidly, and every day new methods and technologies appear that open up new prospects for us in various fields. One such innovation is the development by German scientists of a new way to control optical signals, which could lead to significant progress in the field of photonics. Recent research has allowed German scientists to create a tunable waveplate inside a fused silica waveguide. This method, based on the use of a liquid crystal layer, allows one to effectively change the polarization of light passing through a waveguide. This technological breakthrough opens up new prospects for the development of compact and efficient photonic devices capable of processing large volumes of data. The electro-optical control of polarization provided by the new method could provide the basis for a new class of integrated photonic devices. This opens up great opportunities for ... >>

Primium Seneca keyboard 05.05.2024

Keyboards are an integral part of our daily computer work. However, one of the main problems that users face is noise, especially in the case of premium models. But with the new Seneca keyboard from Norbauer & Co, that may change. Seneca is not just a keyboard, it is the result of five years of development work to create the ideal device. Every aspect of this keyboard, from acoustic properties to mechanical characteristics, has been carefully considered and balanced. One of the key features of Seneca is its silent stabilizers, which solve the noise problem common to many keyboards. In addition, the keyboard supports various key widths, making it convenient for any user. Although Seneca is not yet available for purchase, it is scheduled for release in late summer. Norbauer & Co's Seneca represents new standards in keyboard design. Her ... >>

The world's tallest astronomical observatory opened 04.05.2024

Exploring space and its mysteries is a task that attracts the attention of astronomers from all over the world. In the fresh air of the high mountains, far from city light pollution, the stars and planets reveal their secrets with greater clarity. A new page is opening in the history of astronomy with the opening of the world's highest astronomical observatory - the Atacama Observatory of the University of Tokyo. The Atacama Observatory, located at an altitude of 5640 meters above sea level, opens up new opportunities for astronomers in the study of space. This site has become the highest location for a ground-based telescope, providing researchers with a unique tool for studying infrared waves in the Universe. Although the high altitude location provides clearer skies and less interference from the atmosphere, building an observatory on a high mountain poses enormous difficulties and challenges. However, despite the difficulties, the new observatory opens up broad research prospects for astronomers. ... >>

Playing with dolls develops empathy 03.12.2020

Psychologists at Cardiff University (UK) conducted a study that confirmed that playing with dolls contributes to the development of empathy in children. Even if the child plays alone, he masters the skills of processing social information.

Empathy is a complex concept that includes the ability to determine the needs and desires of other people, to build one's own behavior accordingly, to interact, taking into account the interests of others, to take other points of view and resolve conflicts.

The problem of developing social skills in children came to the fore in 2020 due to forced quarantine. Since the spring of 2020, the population of most countries has been in a situation of isolation, children have lost the usual opportunity to communicate with their peers, go to kindergarten and school. In the survey already mentioned, more than 70% of parents admitted that they were concerned about how the lockdown and life "locked down" could affect younger family members and their ability to socialize. 74% of those surveyed said they were willing to encourage children to play with toys if they realized that these activities will help the child develop social and emotional skills.

Psychologists at Cardiff University have found out how the development of emotional intelligence is related to the nature of the games children play. A total of 42 children (20 boys and 22 girls) took part in the study. They were divided into four groups, and each had a different activity: playing with dolls on their own, playing with dolls with another person (research worker), playing on a tablet alone, and playing on a tablet with another person (research worker).

All the time that the children played, they were wearing special "hats" with sensors using fNIRS technology. The sensors trigger light signals that determine the level of hemoglobin flow in different parts of the brain. If the level of hemoglobin in any of the areas rises, then the area is currently working more actively. The children were offered various sets to play under the conditional names "Family", "Animals" and "Dream House".

Using this technique, it was possible to establish that playing with dolls - both in boys and girls to the same extent - activates exactly the area of the brain that is responsible for the perception and processing of social information, empathy and, consequently, emotional intelligence.
