37. DEMOGRAPHIC AND ENVIRONMENT

In modern conditions of the development of society, not quantitative indicators of the consumption of economic goods per capita, but qualitative indicators are put forward in the first place, and among them the indicator of the ecological well-being of society is of paramount importance.

human habitat is a complex interweaving of interacting natural and anthropogenic factors. Under these conditions, a single integral criterion of the quality of the environment is needed in terms of its suitability for human habitation.

Human health (individual) - the process of maintaining its psychophysiological functions, optimal performance and social activity with a maximum life expectancy.

Health (complete mental and physical well-being) populations - the process of preserving and developing the biological and psychosocial life of the population living in a certain territory in a number of generations.

According to various sources, more than half of the people in urban areas are in a state of pre-illness, which has a number of significant differences from both health and disease. The main factors in this case are anthropological stress and fatigue associated with the problem of large cities - stress. Every year, thousands of deaths in cities around the world are linked to unfavorable environmental situation. Any impact causes a protective reaction in nature aimed at neutralizing it. This ability of nature has been exploited by man thoughtlessly and predatorily for a long time. But the pollution process is progressing sharply, and it becomes obvious that natural self-purification systems will sooner or later not be able to withstand such an onslaught, since the atmosphere’s ability to self-purify has certain limits. Missile launches, nuclear weapons tests, the annual destruction of the natural ozonizer - millions of hectares of forest, the massive use of freons in technology and everyday life lead to the destruction of the ozone layer.

Solving the problems of eliminating these problems is one of the most important issues of preserving people's health in these systems, since the difficult environmental situation is one of the reasons for the deterioration in the health of the population, which is directly related to birth and death rates. The highest rates of morbidity and mortality are recorded in the most environmentally unfavorable regions.

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 ... >>

Apple MacBook Pro is the best Windows laptop 02.05.2013

The 13-inch MacBook Pro has proven to be the most reliable laptop to run and work with the Windows operating system. The most reliable vendor was Dell, whose laptops took five places in the top ten at once.

Apple MacBook Pro is the best laptop for Microsoft Windows operating system. This is the conclusion reached by Soluto, who tested the mid-13 2012-inch model along with nine other computers. The MacBook Pro was voted the best because Windows installed on it had fewer crashes, freezes, and blue screens of death compared to other laptops. The version of Windows is not specified on which the tests were conducted, the researchers did not specify.

Also tested were Acer Aspire E1-571, Dell XPS 13, Dell Vostro 3560, Acer Aspire V3-771, Apple MacBook Pro 15 Retina, Dell Inspiron 14z, Dell Latitude E5530, Dell Vostro 3460 and Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Carbon - these laptops ranked from second to tenth, respectively. According to tests, the number of crashes in Windows installed on the MacBook Pro 13 was 0,88 times per week, the number of freezes was 1,06 times per week, while the "blue screen of death" occurred 0,01 times per week. The total score of the car was 1,05 (the lower the value, the better the result).

The Acer Aspire E1-571, which came in second, had 0,74 crashes, 0,40 freezes, and 0,06 blue screens of death each week. The total score is 1,12.

The last 1th place Lenovo Thinkpad X1,69 Carbon had 1,34 crashes, 0,09 freezes and 3,20 blue screens of death each week. The total score was XNUMX.

Why the MacBook Pro has become the most reliable Windows-based PC is easy to explain, and Soluto's analysts make no secret of it. The fact is that on the MacBook Pro, the Windows operating system was installed in its purest form, without third-party software that laptop vendors clutter Windows with. This is reflected in Soluto's statistics: if the MacBook Pro had 60 background processes, then the Acer Aspire E1-571 (second place) had 66 processes, and the Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Carbon (tenth place) had 85 processes altogether.

Notebook manufacturers should consider that if they stopped cluttering Windows with additional utilities, the operating system would run much faster and more stable, and the user would be more comfortable and pleasant to use the laptop, the report says. Meanwhile, analysts acknowledge that the MacBook Pro is the most expensive Windows laptop ever: even without the Windows license that is otherwise included in the price of the computer, its starting price is $1199. For comparison, the starting price for the second place winner is $429.

"Comparing the performance of laptops with pure Windows and Windows, supplemented with a bunch of applications, at first glance seems incorrect. However, our goal was to compare the real situation - as if we were a regular user and bought a new system," Soluto explained.

Analysts also acknowledged that installing Windows on a Mac is a longer and more complicated process. In addition, there are other disadvantages of such a bundle, for example, the lack of the Del key on the Mac keyboard, possible problems with drivers, and so on. On the other hand, the user gets an unsurpassed build quality and an impressive trackpad.

The most reliable brand is Dell - as many as five systems hit the top ten.
