39. DEVIANT AND DELICENT BEHAVIOR

There is hardly a society in which all its members behave in accordance with general regulatory requirements. When a person violates the norms, rules of conduct, laws, then his behavior, depending on the nature of the violation, is called deviant (deviant) or (next stage of development) delinquent (criminal, criminal, etc.). Such deviations are very diverse: from missing school classes (deviant behavior), to theft, robbery, murder (delinquent behavior). The reaction of people around you to deviant behavior shows how serious it is. If the offender is taken into custody or referred to a psychiatrist, then he committed a serious violation. Some actions are considered as offenses only in certain societies, others - in all without exception; for example, no society condones the killing of its members or the expropriation of other people's property against their will. Drinking alcohol is a serious offense in many Islamic countries, and refusal to drink alcohol under certain circumstances in Russia or France is considered a violation of the accepted norm of behavior.

The seriousness of the offense depends not only on the significance of the violated norm, but also on the frequency of such violation. If a student walks out of the classroom backwards, it will only cause a smile. But if he does this every day, then the intervention of a psychiatrist will be required. A person who has not previously been brought to the police can be forgiven even for a serious violation of the law, while a person who has already had a criminal record faces severe punishment for a small offense.

In modern society, the most significant norms of behavior that affect the interests of other people are written into laws, and their violation is considered a crime. Sociologists usually deal with the category of offenders who break the law, as they are a threat to society. The more burglaries, the more people are afraid for their property; the more murders, the more we fear for our lives.

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 ... >>

Problem: Too little ice and snow on the roads 12.10.2001

Due to global warming, there is too little ice and snow on the roads of Iceland in winter.

If the ice disappeared completely, then the Icelanders would give up their habit of driving on studded tires, but the difficulty is precisely that it is too early to give up studs. Driving through ice-free areas, cars not only spoil the road surface, but also raise clouds of fine dust into the air - concrete ground with spikes.

Doctors say that a person who regularly inhales such dust can develop silicosis at best, and lung cancer at worst. The same problem arose in some Scandinavian countries. To study the damage caused by studs, experts from the University of Newcastle (England) are driving a 14-ton truck on studded tires along a concrete ring.

The task of the experiments is to choose a brand of concrete that will better withstand abrasion and dust, from which it will not be so dangerous for the lungs.
