Energy crisis, its demographic and social consequences. Fundamentals of safe life

Fundamentals of Safe Life Activities (OBZhD)

Interest in environmental issues especially increased when it became clear that the practical activity of man has an impact on natural processes throughout the Earth. Therefore, in the 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.

The human environment 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 (individual) health is the process of maintaining its psychophysiological functions, optimal performance and social activity with a maximum life expectancy.

Health (complete mental and physical well-being) of a population is 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 illness. The main factors in this case are the anthropological tension and fatigue associated with the problem of big cities. Every year, thousands of deaths in cities around the world are associated with an unfavorable environmental situation.

Any impact causes a protective reaction in nature, aimed at its neutralization. This ability of nature has long been exploited by man thoughtlessly and predatory. But the process of pollution progresses sharply, and it becomes obvious that sooner or later the natural systems of self-purification will not be able to withstand such an onslaught, since the ability of the atmosphere to self-purify has certain limits. Launching rockets, testing nuclear weapons, 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.

Anthropoecological systems acquire signs of extremeness. Solving the problems of eliminating these signs is one of the most important issues of preserving the health of people in these systems, since the difficult environmental situation is one of the reasons for the deterioration of 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.

A New Way to Control and Manipulate Optical Signals 05.05.2024

The modern world of science and technology is developing rapidly, and every day new methods and technologies appear that open up new prospects for us in various fields. One such innovation is the development by German scientists of a new way to control optical signals, which could lead to significant progress in the field of photonics. Recent research has allowed German scientists to create a tunable waveplate inside a fused silica waveguide. This method, based on the use of a liquid crystal layer, allows one to effectively change the polarization of light passing through a waveguide. This technological breakthrough opens up new prospects for the development of compact and efficient photonic devices capable of processing large volumes of data. The electro-optical control of polarization provided by the new method could provide the basis for a new class of integrated photonic devices. This opens up great opportunities for ... >>

Primium Seneca keyboard 05.05.2024

Keyboards are an integral part of our daily computer work. However, one of the main problems that users face is noise, especially in the case of premium models. But with the new Seneca keyboard from Norbauer & Co, that may change. Seneca is not just a keyboard, it is the result of five years of development work to create the ideal device. Every aspect of this keyboard, from acoustic properties to mechanical characteristics, has been carefully considered and balanced. One of the key features of Seneca is its silent stabilizers, which solve the noise problem common to many keyboards. In addition, the keyboard supports various key widths, making it convenient for any user. Although Seneca is not yet available for purchase, it is scheduled for release in late summer. Norbauer & Co's Seneca represents new standards in keyboard design. Her ... >>

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. ... >>

watch for diabetic 04.05.2004

The Japanese company "Sanyo" has launched the production of a wrist blood glucose meter "Glucowatch".

This device is worn on the arm like an ordinary watch (among other things, it also shows the time). Every ten minutes Glucowatch, without piercing the skin, measures the level of glucose in the blood.

According to the manufacturer, a weak electric current "draws" glucose from the blood through the skin, and glucose accumulates in a special gel, where it reacts with a chemical sensor. This measuring part, adjacent to the skin of the hand, needs to be replaced every 13 hours.

On the device, you can pre-set the maximum and minimum indicators, upon reaching which the Glucowatch will give an audible alarm. More than 8000 measurement results are stored, which can then be downloaded to a computer.

As the firm emphasizes, Glucowatch does not replace conventional blood glucose tests, but complements them and makes it possible to conduct tests less often.
