Fundamentals of Safe Life Activities (OBZhD)

Urbanization - the process of increasing the role of cities in the development of society; It is expressed in special urban relations, covering the socio-professional and demographic structures of the population, its way of life, culture, distribution of productive forces and resettlement. The prerequisites for urbanization are the growth of industry in cities, the development of their cultural and political functions, and the deepening of the territorial division of labor. Urbanization is characterized by the influx of the rural population into the city and the increasing movement of the population from the rural environment and the nearest small towns to large cities.

Urbanization is a phenomenon in general progressive, since the concentration of production, scientific and cultural institutions, educational institutions creates the preconditions for the growth of a general culture, improvement of life, employment of people, food supply, and medical care. In addition, there is an increase in energy, industrial production, means of transport, as well as the development of agriculture with an increase in production, as its average consumption per capita increases.

All of the above signs of increasing urbanization lead to negative changes natural environment: pollution, smoke in the atmosphere, hydrosphere and soil. Now the environment has accumulated about 50 thousand types of chemical compounds that are not destroyed by ecosystem destructors. These changes lead to a reduction in the duration of sunlight, which causes beriberi, accompanied by fatigue, deterioration in well-being, decreased performance, and resistance to infectious diseases. Noise and vibration in urban areas have an irritating effect, excite the central nervous system, disturb sleep, and adversely affect performance. High density, contact of the population contribute to the rapid spread of various infections. Residents of large cities have an unfavorable shift in the nature of nutrition: the calorie content of food is increased due to an increase in fats and carbohydrates in the diet, and a decrease in proteins. The birth rate is noticeably decreasing in urbanized areas.

To eliminate these signs, it is necessary to conduct fundamental research to study all aspects of the life and activities of society, to study the state of health and all types of population movement.

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. ... >>

Controlling objects using air currents 04.05.2024

The development of robotics continues to open up new prospects for us in the field of automation and control of various objects. Recently, Finnish scientists presented an innovative approach to controlling humanoid robots using air currents. This method promises to revolutionize the way objects are manipulated and open new horizons in the field of robotics. The idea of controlling objects using air currents is not new, but until recently, implementing such concepts remained a challenge. Finnish researchers have developed an innovative method that allows robots to manipulate objects using special air jets as "air fingers". The air flow control algorithm, developed by a team of specialists, is based on a thorough study of the movement of objects in the air flow. The air jet control system, carried out using special motors, allows you to direct objects without resorting to physical ... >>

Purebred dogs get sick no more often than purebred dogs 03.05.2024

Caring for the health of our pets is an important aspect of the life of every dog owner. However, there is a common assumption that purebred dogs are more susceptible to diseases compared to mixed dogs. New research led by researchers at the Texas School of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences brings new perspective to this question. A study conducted by the Dog Aging Project (DAP) of more than 27 companion dogs found that purebred and mixed dogs were generally equally likely to experience various diseases. Although some breeds may be more susceptible to certain diseases, the overall diagnosis rate is virtually the same between both groups. The Dog Aging Project's chief veterinarian, Dr. Keith Creevy, notes that there are several well-known diseases that are more common in certain breeds of dogs, which supports the notion that purebred dogs are more susceptible to disease. ... >>
