56. World Health Organization

World Health Organization is one of the most important agencies of the United Nations (UN). April 7, 1948 is considered the official day of the creation of the World Health Organization. On this day, the charter of the World Health Organization was approved by the members of the United Nations.

The main idea of the Charter was "the achievement by all peoples of the highest possible level of health."

Constitution of the World Health Organization proclaimed the principles necessary "for happiness, harmonious relations among all peoples and for their security." The main value was recognized as human health, which was given the definition adopted in all world health organizations - a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being, and not just the absence of disease or physical defects. The founding day of the World Health Organization is celebrated around the world as Health Day.

First World Health Assembly, which is the highest body of the World Health Organization, was held on June 24, 1948. By its completion, the number of states included in the World Health Organization increased from 26 to 55. The congress was held in Geneva.

At present, many outstanding scientists of our country are consultants to the World Health Organization. The World Health Organization has a regional structure that includes six regions: American - in Washington, European - in Copenhagen, headquarters of the Eastern Mediterranean - in Alexandria, African - in Brazzaville, headquarters of Southeast Asia - in New Delhi, headquarters of the Western Pacific - in Manila.

To date, the World Health Organization has more than 190 states in its membership, with the combined efforts of which more than one and a half thousand projects are implemented every year, which are aimed at solving a wide variety of tasks: combating various diseases, training highly qualified personnel, improving the environmental situation, protecting mothers and child, international drug control, etc.

The World Health Organization constantly organizes various symposiums and international conferences in Russia. Thus, in 1978, an international conference on primary health care was held in Alma-Ata, in which representatives from more than 130 countries and 70 different international organizations were present. At the end of the conference, the "Magna Carta of Public Health of the XNUMXth Century" was written.

In 1991 and 1994 conferences and meetings were held to address health problems at the present stage.

On the basis of Russian reference centers and laboratories, the World Health Organization is developing various international programs to combat epidemic situations. In general, Russia is one of the leaders in international cooperation in the field of healthcare.

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 ... >>

Electric aircraft Elysian Elysian E9X 31.01.2024

The Dutch company Elysian has presented an ambitious project for an all-electric passenger aircraft, which it intends to put into production within the next ten years.

The Elysian E9X project ushers in a new era in aviation by providing a solution for cleaner, more efficient air travel. The development of electric aircraft can play an important role in reducing carbon emissions and ensuring sustainable air transport.

The electric plane, called the Elysian E9X, is designed to carry 90 passengers on a single battery charge over a distance of up to 800 kilometers. In the future, the developers plan to increase its range to 1000 kilometers.

Elysian began its project with researchers from TU Delft, who argue that the development of an electric aircraft is possible by achieving breakthroughs in battery technology.

The E9X won't be the first electric passenger plane to take to the skies when it launches in 2033. The first in this series was the Eviation Alice, capable of carrying nine passengers and two crew members.
