Lecture No. 18. The Hippocratic Oath. Hippocratis jus jurandum

Per Apollinem medicum et Aesculapium, Hygiamque et Panaceam jure, deos deasque omnes testes citans, mepte viribus et judicio meo hos jusjurandum et banc stipulationem plene praestaturum.

Illum nempe parentum meorum loco habiturum spondeo, qui me artem istam douit, eique alimenta impertiturum, et quibuscunque opus habuerit, suppeditaturum.

Victus etiam rationem pro virili et ingenio meo aegris salutarem praescripturum a perniciosa vera et improba eosdem prohibiturum. Nullius praeterea precibus adductus, mortiferum medicamentum cuique propinabo, neque huius rei consilium dabo. Caste et sancte colam et artera meam.

Quaecumque vero in vita hominum sive medicinam factitans, sive non, vel videro, vel audivero, quae in vulgus efferre non decet, ea relicebo non secus atque arcana fidei meae commissa.

Quod si igitur hocce jusjurandum fideliter servem, neque violem, contingat et prospero successu tarn in vita, quam in arte mea fruar et gloriam immortalem gentium consequar. Sine autem id transgrediar et pejerem contraria hisce mihi eveniant.

In ancient Greece, the custom was widespread, according to which officials took an oath (oath) in the honest performance of official duties. The ethical norms that a doctor had to follow in his work are set out in the oath of medical workers, which most researchers associate with the name of Hippocrates.

In medical circles, the custom has survived to this day to take an oath in observance of high moral principles. The text of the oath has somewhat changed according to historical conditions, but even in its modern editions the spirit of the ancient medical oath, its ethical orientation, has been preserved. The text below is given according to the translation of V. I. Rudnev with some abbreviations.

I swear by Apollo the physician, Asclepius, Hygieia and Panacea and all the gods and goddesses, taking them as witnesses, to fulfill honestly, according to my strength and my understanding, the following oath and written obligation: to consider the one who taught me the medical art on an equal footing with my parents, to share with him with my wealth and, if necessary, help him in his needs ... I will direct the regimen of the sick to their benefit in accordance with my strength and my understanding, refraining from causing any harm and injustice. I will not give anyone the deadly drug I ask for, and I will not show the way for such a plan ... I will spend my life and my art pure and blameless. Whatever house I enter, I will enter there for the benefit of the sick, being far from everything intentional, unrighteous, and destructive ...

Whatever, during treatment - and also without treatment - I see or hear about human life from what should never be divulged, I will keep silent about it, considering such things a secret. To me, who inviolably fulfills the oath, may happiness be given in life and in art, and glory among all people for all eternity; but to the one who transgresses and gives a false oath, let it be the opposite!

The existence of an entropy rule for quantum entanglement has been proven 09.05.2024

Quantum mechanics continues to amaze us with its mysterious phenomena and unexpected discoveries. Recently, Bartosz Regula from the RIKEN Center for Quantum Computing and Ludovico Lamy from the University of Amsterdam presented a new discovery that concerns quantum entanglement and its relation to entropy. Quantum entanglement plays an important role in modern quantum information science and technology. However, the complexity of its structure makes understanding and managing it challenging. Regulus and Lamy's discovery shows that quantum entanglement follows an entropy rule similar to that for classical systems. This discovery opens new perspectives in the field of quantum information science and technology, deepening our understanding of quantum entanglement and its connection to thermodynamics. The results of the study indicate the possibility of reversibility of entanglement transformations, which could greatly simplify their use in various quantum technologies. Opening a new rule ... >>

Energy from space for Starship 08.05.2024

Producing solar energy in space is becoming more feasible with the advent of new technologies and the development of space programs. The head of the startup Virtus Solis shared his vision of using SpaceX's Starship to create orbital power plants capable of powering the Earth. Startup Virtus Solis has unveiled an ambitious project to create orbital power plants using SpaceX's Starship. This idea could significantly change the field of solar energy production, making it more accessible and cheaper. The core of the startup's plan is to reduce the cost of launching satellites into space using Starship. This technological breakthrough is expected to make solar energy production in space more competitive with traditional energy sources. Virtual Solis plans to build large photovoltaic panels in orbit, using Starship to deliver the necessary equipment. However, one of the key challenges ... >>

Material with superior EMI protection 11.08.2020

Thanks to the wide spread of a number of technologies, such as radio, television, cellular communications, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, the entire space around us is literally permeated with radio waves. These radio signals provide the operation of one type of electronic devices, being interference for other types of devices. Because of this, the stability of wireless connections may suffer, the data transfer rate may decrease, and in some especially tragic cases, an electronic device may completely interrupt its operation due to strong interference.

To prevent the influence of electromagnetic interference on critical components of electronic equipment, engineers have long used the method of shielding protection. This method consists in the use of metallic, in most cases copper foil, which reflects unwanted radio signals in the opposite direction. This method works quite well, but the use of additional materials often adds a lot of unwanted weight and bulk to the electronic device.

In search of a new protective material, scientists from Drexel University stumbled upon titanium carbonitride, which belongs to a class of conditionally two-dimensional materials called MXene. Previously, materials of this class have already been used in the creation of conductive compositions, battery electrodes that provide fast charging, high-performance sprayed antennas, etc.

In this case, scientists have found that titanium carbonitride sheets, which are thinner than a human hair, block electromagnetic signals three to five times better than copper foil. At the same time, if the copper foil reflects signals, then the titanium carbonitride coating effectively absorbs them, reducing the average level of electromagnetic noise in the adjacent region of space.

Due to its high EMI absorbency and thinness, MXene film can be used to create individual screens for each component individually. This will also avoid unwanted mutual influence between components located in close proximity on the printed circuit board of the electronic device, which should positively affect the stability of the device, its reliability and efficiency in terms of the amount of energy it consumes.
