Comments on the article

The following risk factors for drug addiction in adolescents:

1. In society, there is an easy accessibility of substances that change the mental state.

2. Substances that change the mental state act immediately, the change in the mental state occurs immediately.

3. Long-term and constant viewing of television entertainment programs hinders the development of creative possibilities, fosters a passive approach to life, which creates a favorable basis for the development of drug addiction.

4. Economic stratification of society, unemployment.

5. Decreased motivation for learning, acquiring knowledge and skills due to the loss of prestige of many professions.

6. Widespread advertising of tobacco and alcohol.

7. The existence of risk factors for the development of drug addiction. The most prepossessing of them is the period of pubertal crisis (at the age of puberty).

8. Adolescents often seek to participate in spontaneous associations (informal groups) where drugs are often used. Thus, hashish smoking is widespread among young people who are fond of music, hallucinogens are often used in artists' societies, and some groups are initially united by the joint use of drugs.

9. Features of intra-family relationships sometimes lead a teenager to drug use.

10. The presence of chronic emotional stress, feelings of mental discomfort.

11. Violation of communication with the collective of the class or group (for example, with frequent moves).

Studies have shown that in the case of a combination of risk factors, the risk of drug addiction increases dramatically.

Exist Factors that keep teenagers from using drugs:

1. Internal self-control and purposefulness of a teenager.

2. Attachment to your loved ones.

3. Opportunity to actively participate in meaningful activities.

4. Success in mastering knowledge and skills.

5. Recognition and approval from others.

6. Setting in the family for children from an early age: drugs are death! A teenager who has personal integrity and life goals, the ability to cope with his emotions and build positive relationships with others, is much more resilient to life's difficulties and temptations.

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. ... >>

Ants don't like to work 05.06.2020

The incredible industriousness that ants supposedly have is a myth. This conclusion was reached by researchers from the United States of America, who observed ant colonies for several years.

Entomologists Daniel Chabrono and Anna Dorhaus did not believe in the myth of industrious ants and decided to conduct an experiment to find out how these insects actually behave. The study, which lasted for two years, showed that ants in general are very lazy creatures.

As part of the observations, scientists marked insects from several colonies with different colors, and then set up cameras that monitored the ants. The experiment was carried out, among other things, in order to study working relationships in insect communities.

As a result, it turned out that only about two and a half percent of the insects behaved as it is commonly believed, that is, they showed diligence. The rest of the ants either did nothing at all (25 percent) or mimicked vigorous activity, working only occasionally (70 percent). At first, the researchers simply could not believe their discovery, so they suggested that the ants work, for example, in shifts. But no, further observations have confirmed that the industriousness of ants is just a myth that has no real evidence.
