Many people know that China’s coastline is very long and has many island resources. In addition to some large-scale and tourism-influenced islands, there are also many other aspects of the distribution of island resources, and this can also show that its island resources are very prominent. In the world, many countries also have abundant island resources. Some islands have different shapes, distinctive features, rich cultural connotations and rich landscapes. The resulting culture is very rich, which also promotes the development of their islands. Will become bigger, and this part of the resources can also be seen to a certain extent that the island resources are very representative, and the cultural charm generated by this is relatively large. The editor will introduce a few See the island resources, especially some animal resources inside the island.

Colon Islands

This island is located off Ecuador in the eastern part of the Central Pacific Ocean. It is composed of 13 small islands and 19 rocks. It has a large area and a long history. The reason for its formation is also very simple. It gradually formed after a long time of accumulation. Nowadays, this island is called the “living museum of biological evolution”. This is mainly due to its unique climatic environment and geomorphic characteristics, which have prompted many creatures to settle here, and over time, it has formed a very important place in the world. Rare cultural atmosphere, so when developing its island tourism, its cultural charm is even greater.

Animal resources

The most worthwhile animal is the penguin. Many tourists will be confused. Penguins should live in the South Pole in the southern hemisphere. Why do penguins live in the northern hemisphere? In fact, this is also the power of nature. Because this is the only island in the northern hemisphere where penguins live, and there are many reasons. One of them is that it is affected by the Peruvian cold current, which makes it not a high-temperature and rainy natural environment, but suitable The penguin survived.

In addition to penguins, there are also many other types of islands in this island, such as sea lions and seals. Of course, it also contains some special species. So over time, it has formed a very unique cultural charm, which also promotes this island. The ecological environment of the city has become better. Because it is less disturbed by the outside world, many natural environments have been better preserved, which also makes tourists feel very appreciative.

Editor’s View

The island resources in the world are very rich. No matter which island resource it is, tourists need to focus on protection, strengthen and enhance the awareness of protection. Only through protection, the development of its islands can be protected to the greatest extent. Therefore, after the performance of its island development in the future, it will also be loved by many tourists. The development of tourism also needs to strengthen the protection of its islands.

Analyzes show that the Colombian mammoth that inhabited North America during the last ice age was a hybrid between a woolly mammoth and a previously unknown line of mammoths. In addition, the study also provides new insights into when and how quickly mammoths adapted to cold climates. About a million years ago, there was no woolly mammoth on Earth (also known as tundra mammoth, scientific name: Mammuthus primigenius) ; or the Colombian mammoth (scientific name: Mammuthus columbi) , because they haven’t evolved yet. The ancient steppe mammoths were their ancestors. Researchers have now managed to analyze the genomes of three ancient mammoth species, using DNA recovered from mammoth teeth that had been buried for 0.7 to 1.2 million years in the permafrost layer. in Siberia. This is the first time DNA has been sequenced and authenticated from specimens that are millions of years old, and extracting DNA from these samples has been a challenge. The scientists found that only a small amount of DNA remained in the samples, and that they were broken down into very small fragments. Love Dalén, Professor of evolutionary genetics at the Center for Ancient Genetics in Stockholm, said: “This DNA is very ancient. The specimens are thousands of times older than the Viking relics, and even more predated the existence of humans and Neanderthals”. The ages of the specimens were determined using both geological data and molecular clocks. Both types of analysis show that two of the specimens are more than 1 million years old, while the third is about 700,000 years old and represents one of the earliest known woolly mammoths. come. The unexpected origin of the Colombian mammoth Genomic analysis shows that the oldest specimen, about 1.2 million years old, belongs to a previously unknown lineage of mammoth genes. The researchers call this the Krestovka mammoth, a name based on the area where it was found. The results show that the Krestovka mammoth diverged from other Siberian mammoth species more than 2 million years ago. “This came as a complete surprise to us. All previous studies have shown that there was only one species of mammoth in Siberia at that time, called the steppe mammoth. But the Our DNA analysis now shows that there are 2 different genetic lines, which we here call Mammoth Adycha and Mammoth Krestovka . We can’t say for sure yet, but we think they may represent two different species,” said Tom van der Valk, lead author of the study. Teeth of the Krestovka mammoth. Source: CPG The researchers also suggest that it was the mammoth of the Krestovka lineage that “dominated” North America about 1.5 million years ago. In addition, analyzes show that the Colombian mammoth, which lived in North America during the last ice age, was a hybrid. Nearly half of its genome comes from the Krestovka lineage and the other half from the woolly mammoth. “This is an important discovery. It seems that the Colombian mammoth, one of the most iconic species of the Ice Age in North America, evolved through a crossbreeding that took place about 420,000 years ago.” – Dong Author Patrícia Pečnerová said. Evolution and adaptation in the woolly mammoth The second million-year-old genome, from the Adycha mammoth, appears to be the ancestor of the woolly mammoth. The researchers were therefore able to compare its genome with that of one of the earliest known woolly mammoths that lived 0.7 million years ago, as well as with the genome of a mammoth. sucking only a few thousand years old. This makes it possible for scientists to investigate how mammoths adapted to life in cold environments and the extent to which this adaptation evolved during speciation. Proving how this giant animal has “risen” strongly over the past millions of years under extreme cold weather. The analyzes show that gene variants associated with life in the Arctic, such as hair growth, thermoregulation, fat accumulation, cold tolerance and circadian rhythms , appeared in the million-year-old mammoth, long before the origin of the woolly mammoth. These results indicate that most adaptations in the mammoth lineage occurred slowly and gradually over time. “Our analysis shows that most of the adaptations to cold weather were present in the ancestors of the woolly mammoth, and we found no evidence for natural selection. faster in speciation,” said co-author David Díez-del-Molino. Like their modern relatives, mammoths were quite large. The largest known species reach a height of 4 m and a weight of up to 8 tons, with some particularly large males weighing more than 12 tons. Future research The new results open the door to a host of future studies on other species. Love Dalén and co-author Patrícia Pečnerová with a mammoth tusk on Wrangel Island (Arctic Ocean). Photo: Gleb Danilov About a million years ago was a time when many species of organisms flourished across the globe. This is also a time of great changes in climate and sea levels, and the last time the Earth’s magnetic poles change positions. Therefore, the researchers think that genetic analyzes on this time scale have great potential to explore a wide range of scientific questions. “One of the big questions right now is how far back in time we can go. We haven’t reached the limit for the longest. It is expected that we can recover DNA that is two million years old, and even more so. can even go back as far as 2.6 million. Before that, there was no permafrost where ancient DNA could be preserved.” Anders Götherström, Professor of Molecular Archeology and lead researcher at the Center for Paleontology. These findings are published in the journal Nature.

During the process of 96 years of accompanying the nation (June 21, 1925 – June 21, 2021), under the leadership of the Party, the Vietnamese Revolutionary Press has always been the core force, playing an important role in the world. ideological and cultural front, making great contributions to the revolutionary cause of the Party, construction and defense of the Fatherland. The press is the most frequent and continuous means of information affecting the public; participating in solving economic – cultural – social issues through current events and issues, selecting event information, thereby influencing public perception according to the ideological orientations that have been established. plan. At the same time, information is the fastest, most popular, actively and honestly reflecting all aspects of social life, domestically and internationally. The press is the People’s forum, regularly interacting with the People, answering new problems posed by life, contributing to strengthening the close relationship with the People, serving the entertainment needs, improving the quality of life. spiritual life of the people. The press is really a sharp and effective weapon in all aspects of political and social life. At the same time, it is undeniable that the great role of the press is to enhance culture and entertainment, to make people understand and draw closer together. People here are not between people in one country, but also between different countries. In order for both sides to learn, study and share spiritual teachers and emotions, and at the same time enrich and absorb the diverse cultures of other ethnic groups to enrich their country; promote and introduce the country, culture and people of Vietnam to friends in five continents so that countries around the world can better understand Vietnam. During his lifetime, President Ho Chi Minh pointed out: “Our press must serve the working people, serve socialism, serve the struggle for national reunification, and for world peace. gender”. Therefore, different types of newspapers such as print press, electronic newspaper, radio and television, in each type need to perform the function of igniting and orienting public opinion properly, motivating all levels and sectors. and the masses to effectively implement patriotic emulation movements. Actively fight against negative expressions and behaviors, violating the law. Thereby preventing the phenomenon of degradation in morality, lifestyle among cadres and party members and the negative in social life that hinders the development of the renovation process and the formation and improvement of a positive lifestyle. in social life. Each journalistic work needs to bring the breath of life, so with their responsibility, the team of journalists becomes an important “bridge” to convey the Party’s guidelines and policies. , the State’s laws come into practice in close proximity to people and ethnic minorities; reflect the good and creative ways of individuals and collectives with advanced examples in productive labor and effective economic models. Actively exploiting, propagating and reflecting the leadership’s direction and administration in socio-economic development, contributing to raising people’s confidence in the leadership of the Party and State. The press in our country has made rapid and strong development steps and has made great strides in appearance, quantity and quality of publications, radio and television programs and journalism technology…. The political quality, cultural quality, orientation and technical – professional quality of the press have been increasingly improved. The number of journalists has increased rapidly, their professional qualifications for journalism have been improved, and they have mastered modern journalism technology. Promoting the achieved tradition, the press needs to promptly reflect developments in all aspects of social life; actively propagate Marxism-Leninism, Ho Chi Minh’s thought, the Party’s viewpoints and lines, and the State’s policies and laws; reflect the thoughts and legitimate aspirations of the people of all classes; discovering and promoting new factors, advanced examples and achievements of the renovation work; reflect the enthusiastic contributions of scientists and fellow citizens; participate in supervision, social criticism, promote the people’s right to mastery, strengthen the great national unity bloc; on the front to protect the ideological foundation of the Party. In the current period, in order to constantly promote its role as a bridge between the State Party and the People, our country’s press needs to strengthen two-way information on major policies of the Party and the State in a comprehensive manner. enough. In the process of two-way information, the press should show real demand, not because it focuses too much on orientation, but narrows down the diversity and practicality, especially in cases where, although there are some science and practicality. Timely reflect people’s opinions on social issues quickly and fully, contributing to strengthening people’s belief in good things, creating a spread, and persuading people to have more and more people. The more positive from awareness to action, negative things will have the effect of warning, reminding to deter, self-improvement. Increase the interaction between the press and readers so that the two sides become closer to each other, thereby both orienting the readers’ perception, aesthetics, interests, etc., thereby capturing the needs and aspirations. readers in particular and the public in general on social issues. As the “voice of the people”, the press needs to listen to and acknowledge the people’s opinions, as much as possible, as objectively and honestly as possible. At that time, the reflection of the new press is more convincing and attractive.

Could you tell me, what is the position and role of the press in the business? Over the years, I have worked at the Provincial Business Association, joined the Vietnam Chamber of Commerce and Industry (VCCI), I have realized that the press plays a big role in the development of the business community. Newspapers help businesses promote images, brands and products to the public. News in the press also helps businesses capture diverse information, especially domestic and foreign market information, giving businesses more data to shape production and business activities, perfect their strategies. business development strategy. Mr. Tran Khac Tam – Chairman of Soc Trang Province Business Association, Vice Chairman of the Council of Business Associations in the Mekong Delta, Member of the Executive Committee of VCCI. The press helps the business community raise policy recommendations to the State, in order to develop policies and laws for socio-economic development, helping the business community to constantly grow. The press also pointed out the non-standard things and shortcomings in production and business activities, helping enterprises to recognize and evaluate their activities, increasingly improve and develop businesses within the legal framework. the law. Personally, I have many good memories with reporters in the role of a member of the National Assembly, a member of the People’s Council, Chairman of the Provincial Business Association, etc. They help me convey my opinions and recommendations to the authorities, to general public. Currently, the rise of the social network has changed the method of information, brand promotion and image of businesses, weakening the advantage and position of the press. So, does the press still play an important role in business activities? It is clear that when social networks develop, the emergence of transnational platforms such as Facebook, Youtube, Google, Tiktok …, the press encounters fierce competition in both information and business aspects. advertising revenue. I was told by some leaders of press agencies that advertising and communication activities are difficult because businesses have other options. I understand and share with the press agencies, because once such a “cake” or has grown, it is not worth much but must be divided into more parts, the fiercer competition for shares is obviously difficult. more difficult. The press is the ideological and cultural force and also the business units to maintain operations and development. What about the information aspect, I find that with the use of today’s easy media, each person holding a smartphone can post information and express opinions very quickly and diversely. . Some people say that every facebooker can also become a “journalist” – citizen. Thus, the press has to compete for information with social networks, and in fact, there are cases where the press has gone behind social networks. However, I believe that social media cannot take away the position of the press. Despite fierce competition, which greatly affects journalism activities, social networks cannot replace journalism. I still read the press every day because there is official information, with statements, with verification, many issues are laid out methodically, multi-dimensional and complete information has been provided by reporters and editors. evaluation, screening, investigation, thorough interview. For the operation and development of the business community, I can confirm that the press still plays a very important role. So, in your opinion, is the press and business a reciprocal, symbiotic relationship? In the development of the press, businesses also play a significant role, newspapers and television stations attract significant financial resources from product promotion and communication activities for businesses. The activities of newspapers, television and radio stations are also production and business activities. Giving and receiving always take place in the process of interaction for a common goal of socio-economic development, building a richer and more civilized country. The business community and the press are not two opposing forces. Enterprises develop production and business activities, create material wealth for the society, and create jobs for employees. The press reports, analyzes and comments on social, policy and economic issues…, protects the right, fights against the wrong, and ensures social justice. Newspapers and businesses must operate within the framework of the law, especially the Enterprise Law and the Press Law. If operating in accordance with the law, there cannot be a situation where the press causes difficulties for businesses, and vice versa, businesses cannot cause difficulties for press activities. Dr. Tran Khac Tam in a regular meeting of the 13th National Assembly as a National Assembly member. Power always goes hand in hand with responsibility. So, what are your views on the role of the press in today’s social life? The power of the press is the power of public, transparent and fair information, the power of reason and the legal order. In the West they see the press as the “fourth power”, alongside legislative, executive and judicial powers, although this is not constitutional. It is a way of honoring the role of the press in social life. In our country, the press is a sharp ideological “weapon” of the Party and State, a bridge between the Party, the State and the people, an important means of propagating socio-economic development, building construction building the Party and political system, is a forum for the people to participate in social management, monitor power, and realize the goal of a rich people, strong country, democracy, justice and civilization. As society develops, the information needs of the whole society are also increasing. Information becomes a power, having a direct impact on the management and organization of social life, on habits, perceptions, moods, emotions and actions of each individual. Access to information becomes an important need in modern society; in which the main means to bring information to the public is the press and media. It can be affirmed that the more society develops, the more the press and media have a particularly important position, role and mission in the daily life of each country and nation. Therefore, the press must always protect the right, fight against the wrong in order to make social life healthy, for the law to be enforced and to ensure social justice. Reality has proven that during the process of national construction and development, many journalists have been like soldiers fighting corruption and negativity, protecting the weak. I hope that tradition will be maintained and promoted so that our revolutionary journalism continues its glorious path. Sincerely thank you!

In the past, all three planets were rocky planets, the surface of which was composed of solid metals and silicates. Among them, our Earth is the largest planet, the mass and radius of Venus is only about 82% and 95% of the Earth, respectively, the mass and radius of Mars only account for about 11% and 53% when compared to our planet. Over the past few decades, humans have launched many unmanned probes to Venus and Mars, and it turns out that the environments on these two planets are very harsh. Venus is too hot, and Mars is too cold, and there is no oxygen on either planet, so life on Earth could not exist in such an environment, and astronomers could not find it. see any other traces of life there. So, how were Venus and Mars 4 billion years ago? Why are Venus and Mars now barren, and only our planet is habitable? Calculated based on the radiant power of the sun, Venus and Mars also operate in the same habitable zone as Earth, which means they can receive just the right amount of solar radiation to water. on their surface can still be in a liquid state. Astronomers speculate based on current signs on Venus and Mars and surmise that there may have been an ocean of liquid water on both Venus and Mars 4 billion years ago. For the first few hundred million years, Venus was a warm and humid planet. In the primordial oceans of Venus, life was fully qualified to evolve. They could be carbon-based life like life on Earth or could be other life forms. However, Venus’s habitable period did not last long. Because Venus is so close to the sun, and the temperature of the sun gradually increases over time, making Venus hotter and hotter, and a large amount of liquid water has also been evaporated. At the same time, the volcanic activity on Venus is also gradually becoming more active and continuously releasing carbon dioxide, causing a strong greenhouse effect. Without oceans, carbon dioxide would not be neutralized. They enter the atmosphere and cause a severe greenhouse effect, which will increase the temperature on Venus. Meanwhile, on Earth, the oceans, plants and minerals absorb large amounts of carbon dioxide, so the Earth will not become too hot due to the strong greenhouse effect during that period. Eventually, Venus’ greenhouse effect was completely out of control, liquid water completely evaporated, and life could have been destroyed. According to data returned by the Venus probe, the current concentration of carbon dioxide in Venus’s atmosphere is as high as 96.5%, and the surface atmospheric pressure is 91 times higher than the Earth’s surface. Under the influence of this extreme greenhouse effect, Venus has essentially reached thermal equilibrium, and the average surface temperature is as high as 464 degrees Celsius. Although it is essentially impossible to have life on the surface of Venus today, some astronomers speculate that there may be some strange life in the atmosphere of Venus. In the sky high enough above the surface of Venus, the atmospheric pressure will be moderate, and the temperature will not be high, possibly for the synthesis of organic matter and the evolution of life. On the other hand, ancient Mars was probably also a habitable planet. Currently, on Mars there is a large amount of water-washed terrain, and there are some iron ores that can only be generated in the aquatic environment, which is strong evidence for the existence of a large amount of water. liquid water on ancient Mars. So, how did Mars become such a uninhabitable planet as it is? At present-day Mars’ North Pole, there is a giant basin whose surface is equivalent to two-fifths of the surface of Mars. This huge Arctic basin was formed by a massive collision. Studies have shown that about 3.9 billion years ago, a dwarf planet (about the size of Pluto) with a diameter of about 2,000 km collided with the north pole of Mars. This massive collision completely changed the core of Mars, causing activities inside Mars to quickly stop, and the Martian magnetic field also gradually weakened and finally almost disappeared. lost. Without the protection of the magnetic field, the solar wind gradually strengthens and melts the atmosphere of Mars, liquid water continues to evaporate, causing Mars to quickly become a barren land. Currently, there is almost no atmosphere on Mars, but there is still some water ice in the polar regions. In addition, there may be a seasonal amount of liquid water in some areas of Mars, which has a high salt content and may be temporarily liquid in the low-temperature Martian environment. At the moment, the temperature on Mars is very low, the average temperature is only -63 degrees Celsius. If humans want to settle on Mars in the future, the first thing to do is to strengthen the star’s magnetic field. Mars and produces large amounts of greenhouse gases to “heat” Mars and melt the solid water that exists on Mars. Mars is much smaller than Earth, so it would have cooled from its molten state at its inception faster than Earth, so liquid water on Mars may have appeared earlier, which could This means that life on Mars may have formed and evolved earlier than our planet. Therefore, there are conspiracy theories that, when celestial bodies collided with Mars, the rocks that were thrown into space by the collisions could have carried the germ of life on Mars into space, and then some someday fall to Earth, becoming the source of life on Earth. And perhaps by coincidence, life on Earth also began to form around the same time that Mars’ North Pole collided. From the point of view of time, this is consistent. In addition, astronomers have discovered traces of suspected life in meteorites on Mars that have fallen to Earth. Life on Earth may have originated on Mars, but this has so far required more convincing evidence. In the past, the Curiosity rover has detected some carbon-containing organic substances in the rocks on Mars, which may be evidence that ancient Mars once had a few living things. Even now, it is still possible for life on Mars, they did not go extinct billions of years ago, but moved into the Martian underground and developed a unique survival mechanism to adapt to the harsh environment. harsh on this planet. Compared to Venus and Mars, our planet is very lucky. For billions of years, Earth has always been a habitable planet, so hundreds of millions of species have appeared here. Our Earth is like a “chosen planet”, a moderate distance from the sun, with a magnetic field that can resist solar radiation so that all kinds of life can continue to multiply and develop. Although it cannot be ruled out that some planets in the solar system (such as Europa) also harbor life, the environments of those planets are very different from those of Earth, and most life on Earth is not ruled out. Soil cannot exist there. In the near future, Earth will still be the only planet inhabited by humans in the universe.

Reporters do not mind the hardships and dangers, working in the most difficult conditions (reporters from the Newsroom, the Provincial Media Center work in the tunnels of Hon Gai Coal Company). Quang Ninh in recent years has always been a pioneer, making breakthroughs in all aspects from building the Party and political system, to socio-economic development, so it has had a rapid and comprehensive development, many things have become more and more important. model for other localities in the country. This is the land, a favorable environment for press agencies to operate, reflecting the vivid reality in a land of great potentials, advantages and results of implementing guidelines and policies of the Party and State. country. Along with the development of the provincial press, the past years have marked a rapid growth in the number of central press agencies, newspapers of ministries, branches, central mass organizations and provinces and cities. Others set up representative offices, appoint correspondents residing in the province and assign reporters to be in charge of Quang Ninh area. If in 2014, there were only 29 press agencies in the province that set up representative offices and sent resident reporters in Quang Ninh with a small number of resident reporters, then up to now, there are 44 agencies in total. press set up representative offices, sent correspondents residing in the province, 14 press agencies assigned reporters in charge of Quang Ninh area, with the total number of correspondents residing and monitoring Quang Ninh area up to 128 people. . With the provincial press, after more than 2 years of establishing the model of Quang Ninh Media Center on the basis of merging Quang Ninh Newspaper, Provincial Radio – Television Station, Ha Long Newspaper, and Quang Ninh Provincial Portal, has affirming the right policy, in line with the development trend of modern journalism in the world of Quang Ninh province. Along with that, the team of reporters at district-level cultural and media centers, collaborators in departments, agencies, units and businesses have developed rapidly, especially in the field of business. service. This team of reporters and collaborators always has the guidance and close cooperation with the Provincial Media Center to be able to operate and create journalistic works of various types, ensuring orientation and accuracy. , news and interactivity are increasingly enhanced. The authors and groups of authors won the first prize of the Quang Ninh Provincial Press Prize 2019. Photo: Khanh Giang According to Comrade Do Ngoc Ha, Standing Vice Chairman of Quang Ninh Journalists Association, the team of journalists in the area has been increasingly supplemented in quantity, and the quality has also been continuously improved. The press in the province has rapidly developed in terms of staff, facilities, information technology, and working methods. The press agencies in the area always comply with the law on press, publication and the provisions of the law; keep abreast of events, have close relationships with departments, branches and localities to reflect quickly, sensitively, timely and accurately the socio-economic situation, national defense and security of the province; recognized by all levels, sectors and the public. Actively contribute to the development of the province Reporter of the Newsroom, Provincial Media Center working at Phuong Dong B Primary School, Uong Bi City. If during the resistance wars, the Quang Ninh press became an important army on the ideological front, now, attaching itself to the vibrant realities of life, the press has properly informed and propagated Timely, oriented, attractive and lively, the renovation work took place strongly in the land of Quang Ninh – a strong growth pole in the northern region of the country. Thereby, constantly growing and developing, actively contributing to the socio-economic development, accompanying the province in maintaining and continuing to maintain the socio-economic development momentum of Quang Ninh. Over time, the Press in Quang Ninh, especially the Provincial Media Center, has truthfully informed about the situation in the province, the country and the world in accordance with the interests of the country and the people; clearly shows its function as the mouthpiece of the Party Committee, the government, socio-political organizations, mass organizations in the province. At the same time, continuing to affirm its role as an essential means of information for social life, reflecting and guiding public opinion; to act as a forum to exercise the people’s right to freedom of speech; actively contribute to creating an open and democratic atmosphere in social life; actively participate in monitoring and social criticism. Quang Ninh press agencies have encouraged the spirit of creative labor emulation, building and defending the homeland, promoting the strength of the entire people under the leadership of the Party; praising typical collectives and individuals, good examples, good deeds, new factors in all areas of social life. At the same time, the press also clearly demonstrated its role on the front of the uncompromising struggle against false claims, peaceful developments of hostile forces, protection of the Party and government, and protection of the people. . And fighting against corruption, negativity, criticizing bad habits, bad habits, warning evils in social life, is supported by public opinion. Reporter of the Specialization Department, Provincial Communication Center working at Ha Lam mine. Photo: Quoc Viet (CTV) The press has promoted and contributed to building the image of a Quang Ninh with distinct potentials, advantages, and outstanding opportunities; a dynamic, creative, enthusiastic and highly politically determined locality with breakthroughs in piloting the implementation of guidelines and policies of the Party and the State, especially in building the political system. and made three strategic breakthroughs. Many people, when asked, affirmed that: Through propaganda activities of Quang Ninh press, it has helped the provincial leaders and Party committees and local authorities to recognize and give close instructions. , timely. It is also from this direction that the press has more “fulcrum” to continue to reflect and accelerate the resolution of the case in a positive direction. With the rapid growth and maturity of the Quang Ninh press over the past time, it has been and will continue to contribute to more effective propaganda for the construction and development of Quang Ninh to become a service-industry province. modern according to the proposed roadmap.

Spotted deer, also known as white-spotted deer and flower deer, native to the forest regions of Sri Lanka, Nepal, Bangladesh and India, are the most common deer species in the region. Their belly is white, with a light reddish brown body, with white spots, looking very beautiful. The height at the shoulder is about 90 cm, the weight can reach 85 kg, the life span is about 20 to 30 years. Hawaii originally had only two species of mammals, the gray bat and the seal. After the Bosnians and Europeans arrived on the island, they respectively brought pigs, horses, sheep, goats, cows, rats, rabbits and other mammals; coupled with the fact that Hawaii was an important shipping hub and at the time, species from all over the world were brought ashore by smugglers’ ships, and apparently these exotic species later that have invaded the territory and food of native species and caused many of them to become extinct. According to a 2017 study published in the journal “Nature-Ecology and Evolution,” Hawaii and Florida in the United States are home to the largest numbers of invasive species in islands and continental coastal areas, respectively. globally. The growth and development success of spotted deer in Hawaii can be said to be a model of the invasion of alien species, according to experts’ estimates, there are about 70,000 spotted deer on Molokai Island in when the inhabitants there were only about 7,000 people; The second largest island is Maui, which has about 70,000 spotted deer, while in the other small islands there are about 50,000, the main island of Hawaii is only 16,000 square kilometers but has at least more than 100,000. The reason spotted deer is so successful in Hawaii is because of the vegetation here that the fauna is here – like protozoa, native species lead a very comfortable life, they are stupid and fearful, even they have not yet evolved any defensive skills, such as stinging and venom, which has allowed invaders such as spotted deer, wild boar, and goats to freely forage and reproduce without have any concerns. In addition, there are no aggressive predators and predators here, so spotted deer are not threatened at all, they did not even choose the breeding season, instead young deer were born. year round. This makes their growth almost unrestricted. This led to the ecological destruction of Hawaii by spotted deer. The birds that nest on the ground always have their nests destroyed, the green leaves and young shoots of the plants are also their delicious meal, the fruits, vegetables and sugarcane of the farmers have the same fate. The destruction of green vegetation by spotted deer has increased the fragility of the natural environment on the Hawaiian Islands, the land being washed into the sea, which in turn leads to the degradation of coral reefs. Moreover, spotted deer also provide food for another invasive species, mosquito, and threaten human health and safety; when they die and there are no animals to eat them, this will pollute the environment and form harmful risks to human health. The fragile aquatic environment on the archipelago is also greatly impacted; Spotted deer also love to wriggle across the road, which is also a fatal threat to motorists. Although sacred to Hawaiians and important to the local water supply, Hawaii’s endemic plant species ironwood (Hawaiian apricot tree) that grows in tall forests is also threatened by spotted deer. This plant can take root in volcanic rocks 20 to 25 meters high, when surrounded by clouds and fog, water will condense on the leaves and fall to the ground, condensing into droplets into the reservoir. In fact, ironwood trees are susceptible to two types of fungal infections, forming scars on the bark, before the tree can heal these scars on its own to avoid fungal infection, spotted deer will bite and rub the bark causing the wounds. wounds take longer to heal, eventually causing fatal injuries to the plant. It seems that the spotted deer invasion was really a big deal, although Kamehameha V is hailed as the last emperor of the Kamehameha dynasty, revered as much as the first, but at this point he has clearly created a crisis for the archipelago and has left a big problem for generations to come. Because spotted deer have no natural enemies, the Hawaiians have to hunt deer and consider it a part of traditional culture, especially in rural areas, many families have additional cold storage to store spotted deer meat. . However, most spotted deer in Hawaii live on private land, although a deer hunting license costs as little as $20 a year and can be obtained online, the procedures and processes involved in hunting are complicated. Shooting made the deer hunting efficiency very low. In addition to reaching an agreement with the landowner, each hunter must be accompanied by a Department of Agriculture inspector to conduct a medical examination of wild spotted deer after hunting. There is also another rule that hunters must always follow in terms of humane issues, which is to only fire a single shot against a spotted deer, this bullet must make the prey immediately unconscious. ie, which means you have to shoot at its skull. If you can’t do it, you can only wait until evening, bring military-grade night vision goggles, even use a drone to find the deer you want to hunt, to be able to do this humanely. In addition, US law allows you to provide game meat to people who need it, after which you must pass a few meat tests before you can enjoy them. But Hawaii does not have a legal venison slaughter operation, so even if a commercial deer hunter wanted to sell spotted deer, they would have to transport the spotted deer to the United States for processing, then then shipped back for sale, which makes spotted deer meat here commanding a hefty price tag. Spotted deer are good runners, smart and resilient, so Hawaii plans to build fences in 30% of key areas to protect endangered species from spotted deer – need to build fences nearly 4 meters high to be able to completely stop them, this is certainly a huge investment, difficult to make. Looking at this you might think it’s too complicated, but if Hawaii is located in China, the problem is much simpler, gourmets can quickly return the spotted deer herd to the state it was when they invaded 150 years ago for a short while.

COVID on 10/6 4 hours ago Directly Press F5 to update the latest content 29 minutes ago Bac Giang adjusts to social distance for Lang Giang district from 12 o’clock today Bac Giang Provincial People’s Committee has just decided to adjust the application of social isolation measures to social distancing for Lang Giang district from 12 am today, 10/6 until further notice. Thus, in the past 3 days in Bac Giang, 3 districts have changed their status to social distancing: Yen The, Luc Nam and Lang Giang. Lang Giang district applies social distancing from 12 o’clock on 10/6. When implementing distance, it is still necessary to stop meeting activities and events with more than 10 people in one room, not gather 5 or more people outside of offices, schools, and hospitals. People keep a minimum distance of 2 meters between people in public places. Festivals, cultural, sports, entertainment activities, business and service establishments (dining, entertainment, karaoke, massage) must still be suspended. The filial piety is organized but does not gather more than 20 people, encouraging people to organize simply and neatly, limiting the number of people to gather. Bac Giang province asked people to limit movement between localities, stop public transport, except for means of transporting goods. (Long Van) 2 hours ago Quarantining 7 people when detecting a case of COVID-19 who had been to Dai Phuoc golf course On June 10, Dong Nai Center for Disease Prevention and Control (CDC) said that it had traced and identified F1, F2 cases of COVID-19 cases who had played at Dai Phuoc golf course (Urban urban area for tourism). Dai Phuoc ecological calendar in Nhon Trach district). Previously, on May 27, a foreigner came to play golf at the golf course with the general director of a company in Nhon Trach district. The foreigner was later found to have COVID-19. Dai Phuoc Golf Course Through epidemiological investigation, the Dong Nai CDC said that this COVID-19 case was detected on June 8, originating from contact with a previous positive case on June 4. Although this person came to play golf from May 27, however, in principle, it must be traced back 14 days. The results of tracing investigation at the golf course have 7 F1, no F2 but are investigating F2 outside. Currently, these 7 F1s are in concentrated isolation, awaiting test results. In addition, at the company where the general manager plays golf, there are 27 cases of F2 who are isolated at home. (Manh Thang) Ha Tinh Department of Health said that this morning (June 10), this province continued to record two more positive cases of SARS-CoV-2 including: LHD.A (SN 2008, residing in Bac Ha ward, City). Ha Tinh) and PQH patient (SN 1972, Trung Hoa hamlet, Tan Lam Huong commune, Thach Ha district). According to epidemiological investigation, LHD.A patient on the afternoon of June 3 had a bath at a public bathing point managed by Loc Ha district. After the announcement of finding someone related to the above bathing point, the patient went to make a medical declaration and was taken to concentrated medical isolation at Thach Hung primary school on the morning of June 9. The functional sector has implemented a blockade of 5 points related to the two newly recorded cases. Currently, the patient has been sampled for testing and has tested positive for SARS-CoV-2. Patient PQH is the 4th member of a family with 3 previously announced positive mother and child positive for SARS CoV-2 (patient 9245, patient 9247, patient 9248). The patient has been isolated. After recording two more cases, the health sector set up 5 checkpoints to blockade the living areas of the two patients and conducted related F1, F2 investigation. Thus, up to now, Ha Tinh has recorded 16 cases of COVID-19. Currently, the functional sector is continuing to review and zoning related to patients to prevent the COVID-19 epidemic.

We all know the ancestors of whales are small land mammals, after starting to live in the ocean, they went through more than 50 million years of evolution and eventually became a family of marine mammals. have the most diverse and popular breasts today. The whale suborder includes not only giant blue whales, sperm whales, and bowhead whales, but also many different species of dolphins. Species in the suborder whales still exist on Earth today. The “whale” Pakicetus is one of the earliest known ancient whales, this animal that lived 50 million years ago looked like a dog with long limbs and fur. If you look closely at the Pakicetus whale, you will see that its nose is located in the front of the head, like today’s mammals. Because the nostrils of Pakicetus whales are located in front of the mouth, when swimming they will look like dogs today because underwater, they have to almost raise their heads out of the water when swimming. Pakicetus is an extinct genus of cetacea, found in Pre-Eocene rocks in Pakistan. The strata where the fossils were found were then part of the coastal Tethys Sea. .As the ancient whales gradually entered the ocean, their body structure began to evolve in a way that was adapted to aquatic life, including the position of the neck, the nostrils gradually moving to the top of the head, Below are pictures of the primitive whale (Protocetus) and a restored image of the Basilosaurus whale, both of which show their nostrils gradually turning upward. Protocetus is one of the most ancient whale genera, which lived in the middle of the Meridian period 45 million years ago near Cairo, Egypt. It was one of the first genera of whales to have fully adapted to aquatic habitats. They are quite small, only about 2.5 m long, on the body still keep the traces of limbs with fingers connected by swimming membranes with the hind limbs smaller than the front limbs. Jaws long, with sharp teeth. The front teeth are used to catch prey and the back teeth are used to cut meat. Unlike the older predecessor Pakicetus, which lived a semi-aquatic lifestyle, Protocetus was able to develop ear canals and hear underwater sounds (but it is unclear whether they developed sonar or sonar). not yet) and developed a flattened tail like today’s whales. Their nostrils are still located on the head, they still do not have a stoma on the top of the head and rely more on eyesight for food. Basilosaurus is one of the primitive whales that evolved from land mammals and later evolved into modern day whales. Basilosaurus averaged about 18 – 20 m long and weighed about 15 tons, once distributed in North America, North Africa and Central Asia and was considered the largest animal that ever lived in its time. The ancient whale species mentioned above all belong to the ancient whale suborder, the baleen whales and the toothed whales in the ocean today all evolved from the ancient whale suborder. They appeared in the middle Oligocene, about 30 million years ago. Compared to today’s whales, their appearance is quite similar to ancient whales, but the evolution to change the position of the nostrils took quite a long time – about 20 million years. Diagram of the evolution of ancient whales. Schematic diagram of the evolution of modern whales. Modern whales have evolved to move the nostrils from the front of the mouth to the top of the head. It’s not just a change of location. The esophagus and trachea of ​​today’s terrestrial mammals are interconnected, so if our noses are blocked by a cold, we can still use our mouths to breathe instead of our nostrils. In addition to breathing, our nose also has the function of smelling. But modern whales are different, and the changes in the position of the nostrils and the changes they made to aquatic life have caused the trachea and esophagus to separate. The nostrils connect to the lungs and the esophagus connects to the digestive system, so their noses are only used for breathing, not for smelling. The nostrils of modern whales located at the top of the head actually help them survive more effectively and safely than the holes in the front of the mouth when in the ocean. But even if their nostrils are at the top of their heads, when they dive into the ocean, their noses are still underwater, how can modern whales ensure that they won’t choke? In fact, under the nostrils of whales have a very strong muscle group, they can completely close their nostrils when diving, avoiding the risk of choking on water. The separation of the esophagus and trachea also ensures that modern whales will not choke on water while hunting in the ocean. Large nostrils of baleen whales. The nostrils of a blue whale when diving into the water. In fact, all baleen whales still have two nostrils, while toothed whales have only one. The jets that whales spit out of the water are not water in their noses, but rather accumulations of water remaining in the “pits” of the nostrils, which are formed under the action of sub-lower pressure. Ocean. This prevents water from entering the nostrils, improving the safety and efficiency of breathing. However, the water column due to the whale’s breathing process once brought them great danger. In the era of whaling, sailors often relied on these water columns to locate the schools of fish. elephants. Killer whales belong to the toothed whale subspecies with only one nostril. Gray whales belong to the subspecies of baleen whales that spray water with a pair of nostrils.

What about us Vietnam, besides the rich natural resources that we are still proud of, what other resources can help the country develop strongly, sustainably and make an impact on the world? Relying on wisdom? Is it possible when we have almost no inventions that contribute to human development? Relying on hard work? We have worked hard for thousands of years, but our labor productivity is still far behind other countries in the region. It was not until I read the book “Vietnam – the country of love” (Thanh Nien Publishing House) by Ha Huy Thanh that I realized something about my impossible approach. In this book, the author has shown us a ultimate secret – where the very source of the inexhaustible energy helps us and our country to achieve a lasting and distinct victory. The content of the book is distilled, with a simple, easy-to-understand style, a sequential and logical approach to the problem, perhaps because the author wants to target readers of all levels, wants to share the message as widely as possible. in the book. The book is divided into 13 chapters, but in general, focuses on 3 main parts, which are: Understanding, Sharing and Creating solutions. Right in the “Understanding” section, the author has analyzed in the chapters: Understanding, Understanding yourself, Understanding others about how to approach everything, every problem based on the “Love” principle. For example, with the problem of victory, the author analyzes: “We understand that life is a journey to find win-win solutions, not to find our own selfish victory and beat others down below. the ruins of war even if we are the victors. Because when we are intoxicated with victory, the demon of hatred is pregnant and it will grow up in that ruin with the goal of living, its reason for living is to find and destroy us.” Although this idea is not new, we may have heard or read it somewhere, but when illuminated by the author in the light of “Love”, it has unparalleled persuasion. Or in the comparison of economic growth figures with the countries mentioned above, which has led to long-term secret low self-esteem among many Vietnamese, author Ha Huy Thanh makes us Surprised to point out: “Sometimes we feel poor and miserable in the abundance and happiness that other people crave. So understanding others gives us more joy, more solutions, and more confidence. Understanding others is also how we love ourselves, respect ourselves and are the seeds of the solution.” That’s it, Singapore or Israel, no matter how much economic development, in your heart, you always yearn for the dream of a natural green forest, beautiful beaches. the enchantment we have. One person’s excess is another’s lack, and that’s why happiness can only come to everyone, when we know how to share to satisfy each other’s desires, when we understand to start each other. hand in hand, win together. With analysis: “Sharing is the result obtained after understanding and is also the source of solution creation, it is not only a constitutive of giving and gratitude but it is a measure of the distance from self to position. Buddha in himself. The more we share, the brighter our mind becomes so that understanding can be expressed in a higher realm …”, author Ha Huy Thanh has gradually revealed the ultimate secret – where the energy to help us originates. We practice sustainable “Love”, to achieve sustainable development and positive influence on the world. It is the culture of “Love” that is the light that illuminates the way for us to create a prosperous, classy and humane country. But what is to affirm that Vietnam is a country of “Love”, and with “Culture of Love”, which can affect the whole of humanity in its evolution? The author has opened a direction to create solutions from ourselves, from Buddha nature and Buddha power from each Vietnamese people. Love with the two characteristics of Buddha nature and Buddha power resides in the Buddha’s stupa in the heart of every Vietnamese. To build this stupa, it is necessary to build four really solid foundations: Healthy body Balanced love Clear wisdom Strong Spirituality The author also affirms with firm conviction that Vietnam is the first country to discover that “Love” is a form of Buddha’s energy described with three indivisible characteristics and structures: Insight. Understand, Share and Create Solutions. It is Vietnam that will help the world realize that our planet is the planet of “Love” that the world will have to recognize, respond to and awaken “Love” in every citizen of the world. And finally, in Vietnam’s quest to find its own strength, the ultimate secret has been revealed, which is the Buddha within each of us. But in order to find this Buddha, each of us needs to embark on a journey of “Love”, optimizing the wondrous machine that is the brain bestowed by the universe, in ultimate enlightenment. And so, we can safely, confidently go forward every day, confident with whatever we have, will have, and generously share with the world. Thank you, with a small book, the message is short and simple, but it shows a truly unique path that each of us Vietnamese can proudly walk and shine with “Culture of Love”. “.

Illustration. The habit of wearing the wrong bra size is not only uncomfortable, but they also affect the development of the breasts. In the long run, this is also the cause of sagging and less firm breasts. To minimize this situation, you should choose products that are the right size and are made of materials that are able to absorb sweat. In addition, you should also limit the use of shirts with frames that are too hard or tight so that the double mountains are developed most naturally. Regularly massage breasts One of the measures to help improve the development of breasts is massage. The method is also very simple, you just need to apply warm coconut or olive oil on your breasts. Next, massage gently in a circular motion for about 5 minutes. Performing 2-3 times a week will help stimulate the growth and increase the elasticity of the breast! Increase breast size thanks to green papaya In addition to bean powder, green papaya is also a natural fruit that has the effect of increasing breast size very quickly. The reason is because in green papaya there is an enzyme that helps stimulate the production of phytotrogens to increase the size of the “double mountain”. According to science, the active ingredients in this fruit not only prevent breast cancer but also stimulate breast size increase. In addition, papaya also provides vitamins A for the eyes to help brighten, vitamin C to strengthen the body’s resistance, vitamin E to beautify the skin, and nourish the skin. Thanks to that, the body’s immune system will be strengthened and the risk of aging will be prevented. To effectively increase your bust size to 90 cm within 1 month, drink 1 glass of green papaya smoothie at night before going to bed every day. Increase bust size thanks to chicken eggs Because the breast is made up of fatty tissue, a reasonable diet will make the breast size grow. One of the important things for people with a modest bust is to regularly use our eggs. Eggs contain a lot of protein to help increase muscle production, thereby helping to increase the size of the bust quickly and become firm and round. To prepare dishes with eggs, you can make egg soda or steam it in a water bath to help your breasts grow more but not to gain weight. Exercises for the chest like lifting weights, push-ups Exercise is one of the ways to help grow breasts because it has the ability to build chest muscles, as well as the mammary gland and fatty tissue in your breasts. If applying simple exercises, those movements will affect the organs around the chest, which increase the size of the bust and firmer. One of the most effective exercises is push-ups. Because doing push-ups will most directly affect the muscles around the chest. You can do push-ups parallel to the floor or push-ups against the wall. In addition, lifting weights also contributes greatly to making the first round more attractive without resorting to “cutlery”.

To demonstrate the powerful “evolutionary” potential of workspaces in contemporary cities, Toong continues to introduce a new project, focusing on a multi-functional experience ecosystem. The land at 188 Vo Thi Sau covers an area of ​​1250m2, located in the alley opposite the City Children’s House, formerly the Vice Presidential Palace of Saigon. From front to back, the space is reasonably distributed with areas that are both isolated and meet at the same time in a large central space. The project follows this layout to build an ecosystem of offices, places of work and rest for the contemporary business class. The two side compartments were redesigned to become a unique office for the business, bearing the sound of contemporary “factories” with high ceilings and abundant light. The rear part of the house is planned into a utility complex with meeting rooms, open pantry areas and quiet bedrooms. The sky is wide with bold slices of contemporary architecture. In the expanded space, Toong plans to develop more artists’ studios, creative commercial spaces and working rooms for 5-10 people. Posts: Beautiful News

The warehouse was converted into an isolation area for infected people during the 1918 flu pandemic. Photo: According to Live Science “The research results, although not directly applicable to the Covid-19 pandemic, show that humans can eventually overcome their variants. This is being expected by the world in the context of the corona virus outbreak. evolved with many dangerous mutations today,” evolutionary biologist Sébastien Calvignac-Spencer, lead author of the study, told Live Science. According to Spencer, as now, when focusing on studying the virus that caused the 1918 flu pandemic, the research team questioned whether its new variants worked differently from the original? Since then, the team has studied six human lungs dating from the pandemic years of 1918, which are preserved in formalin at pathological archives in Germany and Austria. The researchers determined that three of the six sample lungs – two from young soldiers who died in Berlin, the other from a young woman who died in Munich – contained the 1918 flu virus. “The virus that caused the 1918 flu pandemic is still around today. But it’s more attenuated, mainly because we are descendants of people who survived the outbreak 103 years ago. Because So we’ve inherited some form of genetic immunity,” explains Calvignac-Spencer. Estimates suggest that the 1918 strain of influenza infected about 1 billion people, while the global population was only 2 billion. About 50-100 million people may have died in three consecutive outbreaks then. The first wave of the pandemic occurred in early 1918, it was less deadly than later waves: “The preserved lungs of two German soldiers were determined to be dead at this time”, the research team at the Institute of Robert Koch confirmed. The researchers extracted viral RNA from those lung samples. Both German soldiers died on the same day and when decoding the genome of the virus that killed them there was almost no difference. Spencer added: “But the form of the flu virus found in the soldiers’ lungs, is somewhat genetically different from the form of the virus that infected the young woman who died in Munich. Presumably, the woman. did not survive a subsequent outbreak.” The scientists also compared viral genomes from the US and Germany, and conducted laboratory studies with synthetic copies of virus samples. They wanted to learn to assess the infectivity and replication ability of different strains inside cells. The findings of German scientists also show that the 1918 flu virus has mutated to make the next outbreak stronger and more dangerous than the previous one, by evolving to overcome the human ability to “defence”. The genetic mutations that emerged between the first and second waves may have made the virus better adapted for human-to-human transmission, rather than between birds, its natural host. The other mutation may have changed the way the virus interacts with a human protein called MxA, which helps regulate the body’s immune response to new pathogens. Although the scientists are not sure how the variants changed the “strength” of the virus, “it can be predicted that these changes helped the virus avoid one of the mechanisms by which cells respond.” to kill the flu virus,” Calvignac-Spencer said. The evolution of the virus that caused the 1918 flu pandemic has similarities to the current Covid-19 pandemic, such as consecutive outbreaks with many different strains, and the following outbreaks are more dangerous than the previous one. . Thanks to the advancement of science, today when understanding the Covid-19 pandemic, researchers can better understand the 1918 influenza pandemic: “The more we understand about the current pandemic, that The more we can understand the pandemic in the past, rather than vice versa,” Calvignac-Spencer emphasized. One significant advance is that researchers have been able to accurately sequence the viral genome in human tissue preserved in formalin for more than 100 years – something that has hitherto been thought to be very difficult. “Thanks to new techniques, the study ended up being much easier than we expected,” added Calvignac-Spencer, adding: “We can now sequence the viral genome from infected humans. buried in permafrost for up to 1,000 years, because the cold can help preserve DNA even longer.” The team of German scientists also wanted to sequence viral genomes that could have been stored in the bodies of ancient Egyptian mummies – the earliest mummies are about 5,000 years old.”The mummies were prepared to prevent biological processes, and that’s exactly what we want. So we will also embark on research to better understand other diseases of the past,” the German scientist said. about the group’s future plans.

Elephant Mammoth Columbia Voi Extinction time: 11,500 years ago Living area: America and Mexico Illustration. Elephant Mammoth, you probably already know. They are huge, have long fur and a pair of huge tusks. They appear in many pictures, documentaries, movies. However, here we are talking about the Columbian Mammoth elephant, which is a relative of the long-haired but larger Mammoth. A Mammoth Columbia can be from 3.7 to 4.2m tall, weighing from 5.5 to 11 tons. Their tusks average 3.7m long, the largest of the elephant family and extremely strong, used to handle any carnivores that dare to come close. Prehistoric people, of course. Lazy land Extinction time: 4200 years ago Living area: South America The sloth is a lovely, harmless creature. The Megatherium is also a sloth, but it’s not like the slow, bully sloths you’re used to seeing. Megatherium also does not live on trees, because no tree can withstand its huge body. Megatherium has several subspecies, the smallest species is as big as a rhinoceros, and the largest can weigh up to 4-5 tons when mature, equivalent to modern African elephants. They can be up to 6m tall, similar to giraffes when standing on 2 legs. In addition, they also have a set of super-large claws used to slap the mouth of any carnivore. The ground sloth finally lived peacefully on the islands of the Caribbean, until about 4200 years ago, when the “species that everyone should fear” set foot and drew an end to the sloths walking on the face. land. Orangutan Gigantopithecus Extinction time: 100,000 years ago Living area: Mainly in Southeast Asia Gigantopithecus was a close relative of modern orangutans but was much larger. They can be 3m tall, weigh up to half a ton and are the most massive primates that have ever walked the Earth. If you need a clearer picture to visualize the size of a Gigantopithecus, check out the cute giant orangutan in The Jungle Book. But that’s in the movies, who knew what such a huge beast could do to a small human? Gigantopithecus went extinct with the main cause not being human. The fact that they are large also means that they need a lot of food to survive. However, about 100,000 years before the climate changed and the forests of their homeland – Southeast Asia – became savanna, Gigantopithecus simply “flies” because there is not enough food. Cave hyena Extinction time: 11,000-13,000 years ago Living area: Europe If you often watch documentaries about wildlife in Africa, such as the Diary of the Cat Family, you are probably familiar with spotted hyenas. These guys have a lot of bad reputations. They are cunning, reckless, attack in herds, scavenge for prey of other species such as leopards and lions or even enter villages to capture children. However, spotted hyenas are still not comparable to their ancient relatives – the cave hyena. Cave hyenas were twice the size of modern spotted hyenas, weighing on average 130kg, 90cm high and 1.5m long. They have extremely strong jaws, enough to chew the bones of their prey. Calculations based on fossils show that a cave hyena can easily kill a small elephant weighing about 1 ton. But that’s not enough to say how scary they are. They still live in groups of about 30 to help hunt more effectively. However, with our ancestors, they are not easy to touch. Cave hyenas became extinct somewhere between 11,000 and 13,000 years ago. The main cause is believed by paleontologists to be that prehistoric people took the caves for shelter during the Ice Age. Sword tooth tiger Extinction time: 10,000 years ago Living area: All Americas The saber-toothed tiger sounds like that, but in fact, they don’t have a close family to the tiger. Most saber-toothed tigers became extinct before modern humans appeared. However, there are still a few that can encounter humans, such as Smilodon populator and Smilodon fatalis. In which, Smilodon fatalis is as big as an African lion, and Smilodon populator is bigger, as big as a Siberian tiger (about 350kg). According to the calculations of paleontologists, saber-toothed tigers have rather weak jaws, the bite force is only about 1/3 of that of modern lions. However, in return, they have other things. In addition to their trademark long fangs, saber-toothed tigers also have extremely muscular forelimbs, the strongest of the cat family to assist in capturing prey before slicing its throat with long scythe-like fangs. Another theory is that they can use these fangs as knives to “skewer” their prey to death. But no matter how they killed their prey, a prehistoric human would surely explode if caught by it.

Timmy TV channel interface on May 27. The Department of Information and Communications of Ho Chi Minh City has sanctioned and asked to close this channel before May 28. (Screenshots) On the afternoon of May 27, the Department of Information and Communications of Ho Chi Minh City issued a document to sanction the subject who established and provided the YouTube channel Timmy TV, forcing the channel to be closed before May 28. Mr. Nguyen Duc Tho, Chief Inspector of the Department of Information and Communications of Ho Chi Minh City, said that Timmy TV channel was administratively fined 15 million VND for the act of: Providing information on the network environment, affecting the public Children’s healthy findings and Information with superstitious content and horror, horror content. These two violations are sanctioned under Points b and c, Clause 1, Article 101, Decree 15/2020 stipulating penalties for administrative violations in the fields of post, telecommunications, radio frequencies, and technology. information and electronic transactions. Channels YouTube Timmy TV started on February 20, 2018, posted over 700 videos and had more than 772,000 subscribers. Timmy TV is under the management of Hero Media, a media company specializing in producing videos introducing games for children. As a YouTube channel aimed at child viewers, this channel regularly posts a lot of creepy, horror videos, even promoting superstition, superstition, not suitable for the people’s fine customs and traditions. race, adversely affecting the psycho-physiological development of children. Before this phenomenon, many parents have reported to the Child Protection Hotline 111. Department of Children (Ministry of Labor, Invalids and Social Affairs) has sent an official letter to the Information Security Department (Ministry of Information and Communications), Department of Cybersecurity and High-Tech Crime Prevention (Ministry of Public Security). check and take measures to block, remove, delete channels and handle according to regulations to protect children in cyberspace. Since the channel owner resides in Ho Chi Minh City, the case has been transferred to the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Information and Communications for handling.

Head skin While you’re very concerned about applying sunscreen, the scalp is a bit more of a problem unless you’re bald. Hair alone is not enough to protect the scalp, especially if you have light colored hair. Experts believe that skin cancer hides between the lines on your scalp. One way to protect oily skin from harmful UV rays is to wear a hat that covers your head to reduce your risk of developing skin cancer. You can also choose to spray sunscreen to allow the cream to penetrate your scalp. Palms and feet The tops of the hands and feet are more exposed to the sun, but that doesn’t mean the palms and soles are immune to skin cancer. While it’s a rare condition that mostly affects people of color, it doesn’t mean it’s impossible. So pay attention to any changes in the color of the skin around these areas. Fingernails and toenails Malignant tumors that form on fingernails and toenails can cause the skin in these areas to darken or change. They can also be a breeding ground for squamous cell carcinoma, which manifests as red, rough, or thickened nodules on the skin that may be hidden. In this situation, however, sun exposure is not the only factor, genetics and trauma also play a role in developing the skin cell disorder. Eyelid According to the British Journal of Ophthalmology, 10% of skin cancers are found in the eyelids. You may not have noticed, the eyelids are the most exposed area to the sun, but often overlooked when you apply sunscreen. So don’t forget to apply sunscreen to your eyelids. You can also wear sunglasses and a hat whenever you’re out in the sun. Genitals Believe it or not, sun exposure isn’t the only factor in skin cancer. Squamous cell carcinoma, which can affect the skin adjacent to the genitals, is thought to be associated with human papillomavirus infection. It usually goes undetected unless you regularly check for abnormalities. So the best way to reduce your risk of papillomavirus-related cancers is to practice safe sex and talk to your doctor about getting vaccinated.

The Children’s Department confirmed that Timmy TV channel has many harmful content for children. According to the Department of Radio, Television and Electronic Information (DST), the unit is urgently reviewing and evaluating YouTube channel Timmy TV, and at the same time collecting evidence of illegal content posted by this channel. load. Timmy TV is a YouTube channel aimed at children, but it publishes a lot of creepy, horror videos, even promoting superstitions, superstitions, not suitable for the nation’s fine customs and traditions. adversely affect the psycho-physiological development of children. The Department of Information and Communications has checked and appraised a series of videos with scary and haunting titles and content. The most sophisticated, these videos show the appearance of cartoon images, if you just glance at it, you will not notice the abnormality, the risk of being toxic to children. Through preliminary examination by the Department of Education and Training, the owner of the Timmy TV channel, residing in Ho Chi Minh City, is a member of a media company specializing in producing videos introducing games for children. After receiving a written request from the Children’s Department (Ministry of Labour, Invalids and Social Affairs) on May 17 about objectionable content on the YouTube channel Timmy TV and being informed in the press, the object was hidden. the entire video content, viewers can no longer find the videos played on the YouTube channel Timmy TV. The Department of Information and Communications has collected information and evidence, transferred it to the Department of Information and Communications of Ho Chi Minh City to work and strictly handle the illegal behavior of the owner of the Timmy TV channel. At the same time, the Department will ask YouTube to remove the channel even though the channel’s dangerous content has been set to private and hidden from viewers. In fact, in the past time, some YouTube channels, after being criticized by the press and public opinion for reporting harmful information to children, were sanctioned and hidden the videos, but after a while they reappeared again.

The Children’s Department has written to request the Information Security Department to verify and handle Timmy TV channel for posting information that adversely affects children. (Photo: Internet) Accordingly, Timmy TV is a YouTube channel aimed at children, but it publishes a lot of scary, horror videos, even promoting superstitions, superstitions, not suitable for pure aesthetics. traditions of the nation, adversely affecting the psycho-physiological development of children.

(Screenshots) (Screenshots) At the same time, the Department will consider and request YouTube to remove the channel even though the channel’s dangerous content has been set to private mode, hidden from viewers. In response to the reaction of the viewer community and the request to delete and remove many videos with harmful, superstitious, horror and creepy content on the YouTube channel Timmy TV of the authorities, the owner of this YouTube channel broadcast a clip asking viewer error. YouTube channel owner Timmy TV broadcast a clip apologizing to viewers. (Photo: Internet) “I have also sat down to reflect and review my actions. I realize that’s the wrong move… I have been irresponsible in managing and producing videos, works, and finished products for you to see, but it is content that is not suitable for your age. I have influenced a part of the spirit of the children. Because you are the ones who have supported me and watched my channel a lot…”, the owner of the Timmy TV channel said in the video titled “Timmy apologizes to everyone”. The owner of the Timmy TV channel said that in this she was completely wrong, and did not take any action to justify her wrongdoing. (Photo: Internet) The owner of the Timmy TV channel also said that in this she was completely wrong, and did not take any action to justify her wrongdoing. The way to fix it is that the channel has now deleted all bad videos, with content that may affect young viewers. In the near future, Timmy TV will not produce and upload videos to the channel. The owner of this YouTube channel also said that there have been many fake Timmy TV channels on the Internet, and it is not her doing. Many images, stories of gore and violence are included in previous videos of Timmy TV channel.

However, Siamese fish do not become such vivid “works of art” on their own. The color and shape of the fins of this fish are the product of a millennium of breeding. According to Yi-Kai Tea, a PhD student at the University of Sydney who studies the evolution and characteristics of fish species, “Literally, the development process of this fish is almost the same. with the domestication of dogs”. A new study, published in April in BioRxiv, finds that humans began domesticating Siamese fish at least 1,000 years ago through sequencing the species’ genome. During a millennium of careful breeding and crossbreeding, Siamese fish are now extremely diverse in appearance. However, this also means that wild, purebred individuals of this species must undergo major genetic changes. The authors of this study say that by sequencing and conducting genetic studies of the Siamese fish, they can gain a lot of information about how it was domesticated, bred, and genetically modified. The Siamese’s intricate coloration and “matchy” fins are the product of a millennium of carefully selected breeding. Yi-Kai Tea hailed it as “the first major study to help identify the genetic basis of beauty” in this fish. All 73 species of Siamese fish are native to Southeast Asia. But the most common species sold in aquarium stores and markets is the fighting fish. This strain is much more colorful than most other purebred varieties of the Siamese family. “The purebred Siamese will often look very different from the ornamental Siamese,” said Young Mi Kwon, a researcher at Columbia University and lead author of the study. “They have short fins, are somewhat duller in color and lack the prominent fin walking commonly seen in ornamental Siamese breeds.” While domesticated Siamese are usually very aggressive and do not live together, their domesticated individuals have a more peaceful disposition. “This may be because the Siamese aquarium lines were originally domesticated for fighting, like fighting cocks,” Kwon added. Siamese fish has a history of 1,000 years. In the late 19th century, breeders began to focus on creating varieties of ornamental fish, which later became extremely popular in the West. “This history has shaped the ornamental Siamese fish we see today, a truly magnificent fish with a fiery temperament,” commented Kwon. To determine the exact history of the formation of the ornamental Siamese fish we see today, Kwon and his colleagues collected DNA samples from purebred Siamese and house-raised Siamese fish, and then proceeded to analyze them. their genome sequences. “We were surprised by the evolution of the Siamese fish that lasted at least 1,000 years ago, which makes it one of the oldest known fish,” Kwon said. While previous studies have shown that Siamese fish were bred as early as the 13th century, recent discoveries have proven that they began to be bred long before that. The study also highlights why breeders are able to create dozens of different varieties of Siamese by color, from red, yellow and blue, to Siamese with large fins, small fins and even multiple colors per individual. Just imagine the new shape of a Siamese fish, it can completely be created and exist in reality. “Many traits, which breeders are selecting for, are regulated by very few genes that have a great deal of influence,” Kwon said. “This means that it won’t take a lot of cross-breeding to get them to have their own characteristics or traits that you want your fish to have.” The researchers also found that ornamental Siamese fish are genetically distinct from purebred Siamese fish. However, they were surprised to discover that the ornamental Siamese had crossed with purebred fish. This crossbreeding may have been the result of the Siamese being released into the wild, which could potentially undermine efforts to preserve the purebred of this fish. “The ornamental Siamese fish will most likely dominate the natural environment, if they are more suitable to the habitat than the purebred fish,” Kwon emphasized. Many purebred Siamese fish breeds are in danger of extinction and the main cause is habitat loss. By studying in more detail the evolutionary history of this fish, the researchers hope to improve our understanding of how other species are bred and genetically engineered. Although much remains to be learned such as how crossbreeding affects Siamese fish, genetic engineering has resulted in the creation of many splendid Siamese fish of stunning colors and shapes that were previously available. This may never have existed. Sapphire According to the New York Times

Dolphins evolved from a terrestrial animal Dolphins evolved from a terrestrial animal Dolphins are mammals, closely related to whales, often living in the shallow seas of the continental shelf. Dolphins have the ability to understand simple human behavioral language. With their inherent magical ability, dolphins can understand and organize common objects into groups together. They understand both sounds and images, and even respond to images just like humans. Explaining this, scientists have confirmed that dolphins are the most intelligent animals in the world (while humans are only third in intelligence). Millions of years ago, the ancestor of the dolphin did not swim in the water as we know it today, but was a carnivore that lived entirely on land. However, about 50 million years ago, a mysterious event happened that forced them to adapt to the underwater environment, and gradually evolved into a mammal like today. Although they are considered extremely friendly animals, dolphins also have creepy habits, typically juggling their young out of the sea. This sounds like a very funny joke, but in reality, it is one of the ways adult males are killing their young so their mothers can return to mating. Dolphins can’t sleep for weeks at a time A recently published study has revealed the surprising ability of dolphins: They can stay awake for days or weeks at a time without sleep. So how can they survive without sleep? Dolphins possess a very special sleep mechanism, they can let half of their brain rest at a certain time while the other half is still awake – a process called “Unihemispheric sleep”. This special sleeping mechanism not only keeps dolphins from drowning, but also allows them to stay alert to any danger and even encourages brain development. Most dolphins don’t chew their food Dolphins do not chew food, or rather they cannot chew. Dolphin’s teeth are developed for the purpose of gripping prey. Sometimes they will shake or rub the food on the ocean floor to tear it into smaller pieces that are easier to swallow. One theory is that dolphins’ prey are mainly small fish, and they need to quickly grab the prey in their mouth before their meal can swim away. Skip the chewing process to make sure the prey can’t escape. Dolphins call each other by their own names, forming friendships through shared interests Researchers from the Universities of Bristol, Zurich and Western Australia have found that dolphins living in the Shark Bay area form friendships based on shared interests – in this case, the habit of using foam. sea ​​to hunt. This tool-using trait is found mainly in female dolphins, but by studying the behavior of a few expressed male dolphins, researchers have found a new discovery: The relationship of dolphins is formed through general tooling techniques. Dolphins have their own names and they will respond when called. Dolphins in each population possess their own “characteristic whistle”, just like a name, and other dolphins can use that distinctive whistle to get the attention of their mates. In fact, dolphins are also an extremely social species. The discovery opens up entirely new questions about how dolphins communicate and their “vocabulary,” and may reveal clues about the evolution of our own language skills. Dolphins use prey’s toxins as ‘addicts’ We know that puffer fish have strong toxins. Apparently dolphins know this too, but they use it for ‘high’ purposes. Usually, the puffer fish toxin is deadly. However, in small doses, it can act as a narcotic. The BBC once filmed a video in which dolphins gently play with a puffer fish for 20 to 30 minutes, then hang around and behave “weird”. Dolphins possess great “teamwork” ability A team of researchers from the University of Bristol recently discovered that male dolphins can work and work together as a team – an attribute previously thought to be unique to humans. Observing the behavior of male dolphins as they coordinated courtship with female pigs, the researchers saw cooperation rather than competitive behavior, which is particularly unusual in mate-finding in the animal kingdom.

Cu Lao Cham Marine Sanctuary in Quang Nam. Tourism potential from white-necked langurs The white-necked langur was discovered by local people in 2012 on the limestone mountain in Thach Hoa commune, Tuyen Hoa district, Quang Binh province. Since then, thanks to the strict protection of functional forces and the coordination of residential communities and voluntary protection groups, the white-necked langur herd has grown in number. In 2018, the People’s Committee of Quang Binh province planned a part of the forest to become a special-use forest to balance the needs of conservation and exploitation. According to the survey results of the Center for Indigenous Knowledge Research and Development (CIRD) in collaboration with the Provincial Forest Protection Department, there are 22 herds and 156 white-necked langurs in 3 main areas: Dong Hoa commune, Thach Hoa and Thuan Hoa belong to Tuyen Hoa district. If before, you needed binoculars to see the langurs, now, the langurs are increasingly bold, with our naked eyes we can also look, watch them feed, play in the trees or on the rocks. craggy, according to a representative of the CIRD Center. The appearance of creatures listed in the Red Book of Vietnam and the world in this area has attracted many photographers, scientists and tourists to come here, creating opportunities for the development of various types of eco-tourism. Recently, Chairman of Thach Hoa Commune People’s Committee said that the locality is orienting to develop community tourism and experience tourism in order to change industries and improve incomes for people. people. Although people are still mainly engaged in agriculture, do not have much investment capital, plus difficulties due to epidemics, the potential for community-based tourism development associated with biodiversity is a long-term problem, helping to solve the problem of sustainable livelihoods for residents. Volunteer groups to protect the white-necked langurs in villages and communes will be oriented to become tour guides, helping guide people to learn, research, take photos, admire the white-necked langurs… Along with At that time, visitors can also combine sightseeing and experience with other destinations and events such as Tran Tao weapons factory (Dong Hoa commune), the grave and church of Admiral Le Truc (Tien Hoa commune), the cave. Len Ha (Thanh Hoa commune), Cau Ca Tang (Lam Hoa commune), boat racing festival in Tuyen Hoa district… In order to promote tourism potential in a sustainable way, local authorities pay special attention to continuing to promote the core role of voluntary conservation groups and local people. Lessons from Cham Island Recently, in the program “Honoring organizations and individuals; replicating advanced examples with many achievements contributing to wildlife conservation in the period 2010 – 2020″ organized by the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment, the Selection Council also recognized the initiatives and solutions. community contributes to improving the effectiveness of efforts of all levels, sectors and the whole society in species conservation. A sustainable tourism model based on biodiversity can be mentioned as the Museum of Marine Life on Cu Lao Cham Island, Tan Hiep Island Commune, Hoi An City, Quang Nam Province. The marine reserve displays hundreds of fish with many different shapes, along with many rare specimens of shrimp, crab, turtle, marine coral … Worth mentioning, at first, the fishermen here just wanted to save samples and images of sea creatures to teach their children and grandchildren how to fish so that they can both profit from the sea and preserve the seed source for later. Gradually, these accumulations have created a unique ecological destination for this place, attracting many tourists to explore, paving the way for sustainable tourism. Accompanied by other cultural features such as Hai Tang pagoda, Champa ancient well, four heritage trees and the temple of nest craft. In addition to the service of diving to see corals and enjoying specialties of bird’s nest water, another highlight is a specimen of sea turtles over a hundred years old with intact dimensions on display. This is also part of the message conveyed to tourists and indigenous people: After many years of tourism exploitation, sea turtles are rarely found along the island, but tend to move to live and lay eggs on islands. small island. According to a representative of Cu Lao Cham Marine Protected Area, for many years now, fishermen on the island have been trained as a model of community tourism, saying no to plastic bags and plastic waste, accompanied by tasks of biodiversity conservation. learn. However, tourism development cannot avoid harming nature, landscapes and creatures, which requires greater responsibility from management agencies, travel agencies and visitors. However, the most important thing is the awareness of preserving and preserving nature of the local people. As nature and living things develop, their livelihoods based on such natural services will grow accordingly. Only when they understand that can they become enthusiastic propagandists, proactively guiding visitors to comply.

Panoramic cave area Panga ya Saidi, Kenya, where ancient tomb is excavated Despite being home to the earliest indications of modern human behavior, early evidence of African burials is scarce and often ambiguous. Therefore, very little is known about the origin and development of the continental burial practices that gave birth to mankind. Pang ya Saidi has been an important site for the study of human origins since excavations began in 2010 as part of a long-standing collaboration among archaeologists from the Max Planck Institute on the Faculty. Study Human History (Jena, Germany) and National Museum of Kenya (Nairobi). Repeated excavation seasons at Pang ya Saidi now help establish it as a key site on the East African coast, with a special 78,000-year record of cultural, technological and iconic activities. original human. Parts of the child’s bones were first found during the excavation at Pang ya Saidi in 2013, but it wasn’t until 2017 that the feature of the small bone-filled pit was completely revealed. About three meters below the existing cave floor, the shallow, round hole contains bones that have decomposed tightly and are very difficult to decompose, and should be stabilized and plastered at the scene. New findings in the laboratory After being reassigned, the remainder was taken to the National Museum in Nairobi and then to the National Research Center for Human Evolution (CENIEH) laboratories in Burgos, Spain, for further excavation and analysis. Two teeth were exposed during the initial laboratory excavation, leading researchers to suspect that the remains could be human. Subsequent studies at CENIEH confirmed that the teeth belonged to a child between 2.5 and 3 years old, later nicknamed ‘Mtoto’, meaning ‘child’ in Swahili. Through months of intense excavation in CENIEH’s laboratories, spectacular new discoveries have been made. Professor María Martinón-Torres, director of CENIEH, explained: “We started to explore parts of the skull and face, with the intact joint of the lower jaw and some uneven teeth. The articulation of the spine and ribs is also surprisingly preserved, even preserving the curvature of the chest. It showed that it was an intact burial and the decomposition of the body took place in the hole where the bone was found. ” Microscopic analysis of the bones and surrounding soil confirmed that the body was quickly covered after burial and decomposition took place in the pit. In other words, Mtoto was intentionally buried shortly after death. The researchers also suggest that Mtoto’s bent body, found to be reclined to the right with the knees pulled towards the chest, represents a tightly wrapped burial with deliberate preparation. Martinón-Torres noted that this community may have performed some form of honor ceremony. The burial was different among modern humans and Neanderthals The child’s date (Mtoto) is 78,000 years ago and it is the oldest known human burial site in Africa. Later periods from the Stone Age of Africa also included many children, perhaps signaling special treatment of children’s bodies in this ancient period. Human remains have been found on an archaeological level with mid-African Neolithic stone tools, a distinct type of technology believed to be more involved than hominins. Ndiema noted: “The link between this child burial tool and the Stone Age played an important role in proving that Homo sapiens was the exact producer of these particular industries, in contrast to other hominin species ”. Professor Michael Petraglia of the Max Planck Institute in Jena noted: “The burial of Pang ya Saidi shows that the dehumanization of the dead is a cultural practice shared by Homo sapiens and Neanderthals. This finding raises questions about the origins and evolution of corpse burial rituals between the two human species is closely related and the extent of this behavior is far from that of people today.

The coral disappears? The team led by Professor Konstantin Tkachenko and his colleagues conducted a coral survey at 10 points for about 3 years (2016 – 2019). Average coral cover decreased 64.4%, of which the strongest reduction was two corals Acropora and Montipora, which are the main components of coral reefs in Nha Trang Bay, decreased by 80, respectively. 6% and 82.3%. The level of coral degradation in the above survey points is serious. On Hon Mot island, this coral has lost completely or its coverage decreased by 4-8 times. Collecting coral samples on Nha Trang Bay. Observation results, collecting analytical samples at 20 fixed points (2013 – 2019), combining the tools of mapping reefs and analyzing GIS geographic information systems for comparison with 4 decades ago show that , the total area of ​​rich and healthy coral reefs in Nha Trang Bay has decreased from 6.65km 2 before 1980 down to 0.74 km 2 in 2019. That shows, Nha Trang has lost 90% of its corals in less than 40 years. The remaining 10% of the coral communities are in two states: Some remain stable and some continue to decline, coverage ranges from 13 to 50% and species diversity is also significantly reduced. . According to Dr. Hoang Xuan Ben – Deputy Director of Nha Trang Institute of Oceanography, the results of recent research and publication (2015, 2017, 2019 and 2020) of the Institute of Oceanography on the current situation and trend of change The coral reefs in Nha Trang Bay Reserve also showed that the average coverage of hard corals in Nha Trang Bay was 22.8%. The cover of coral reefs in Nha Trang Bay can be divided into 3 groups: The group with high coverage is Hon Mun area reaching level 4 (coverage 51 – 75%); the average coverage group is Bai Bang, Hon Chong, Hon Vung and Hon Tam with the value of level 2 (10-30%) and the group with low coverage are the remaining points with the value of level 1 (less than 10%). . The assessment results at the fixed monitoring points in Nha Trang Bay showed that the monitoring points located in the strictly protected area all had a high value of hard coral coverage and remained stable over time from 2002 – 2015. Meanwhile, most of the monitoring points outside the strictly protected area have fluctuations in a downward trend. Compared with the results in 1994 (over 25 years), the average coverage of Nha Trang Bay corals is about 30%, the current coral coverage is 7.2%. The area of ​​coral reefs decreased from 754ha to 636.6ha (down 117.4ha, equivalent to 13.5%). 9 species of hard corals that are resilient Dr. Hoang Xuan Ben said that the decline of coral reefs in the bay has many causes such as: Exploiting destruction by explosives, cyanide (currently no longer available); environmental pollution (tourism activities, waste discharge, aquaculture …) altering living conditions, appearing diseased corals, outbreak of coral-eating organisms (starfishes) and local eutrophication; coral bleaching phenomenon and natural disasters (storms, floods) … However, the biggest loss of coral reefs is due to the leveling process, construction of tourism infrastructure and people in the coastal and island areas. The leveling not only loses the area of ​​the coral reef but also sends sediment into the sea, causing deposition on the reef surface, causing the coral to die. Over the past time, the Institute of Oceanography has experimented with restoring corals in Nha Trang Bay, has identified 9 recoverable hard corals with a survival rate of over 60%, the average growth rate from 0. , 4 – 6.5mm / month. This result brings certain effects, contributing to minimizing adverse impacts on coral reefs, improving reefs by increasing coral cover, increasing sustainable attachment prices for corals. To restore and create a stable environment for the development of the reef biome. However, compared with other recovery areas in Vietnamese waters such as Ly Son, Binh Dinh, and Con Dao, the survival rate of the recovered corals in Nha Trang Bay is not high. Some of the causes are identified such as: coral damage, competition between species, environmental quality changes due to indirect activities from humans and other factors such as dynamic mode, coral. wounded at the cuts. Therefore, the province needs a comprehensive assessment to have a solution to this problem. VL

Renowned French comic artist David Vandermeulen and Belgian screenwriter Daniel Casanave were the first to come up with the idea for the series, so they teamed up with Harari to create a series of graphic comics. . Author Yuval Noah Harari said: “Their creative talent allowed the three of us to tell human history from a whole new perspective – without them I wouldn’t have been able to. Their humor and intelligence have made the book a truly enjoyable experience ”. The trend of graphicizing books is favored by many readers In the series, Harari plays a narrator, along with her niece named Zoe. He tells stories, guides, and explains Zoe’s questions through the intricate pages of evolution and his theories about how an ape living on a secluded steppe has grown to be a species. dominate the globe. At the same time, he brought Zoe to meet real characters such as scientist professor Saraswati – biologist, professor Robin Dunbar – anthropologist, expert on human communication to bogus characters. Dr. fiction, Detective Lopez … to explain more thoroughly the evolution and development of our species. “Sapiens – human history” (text version) has more than 10 million readers and has been translated into 50 different languages. And Sapiens comic version has now been translated and released in more than 35 countries around the world. Harari also argues that it is imperative to pass the book’s message to more readers because we are living in a global era, you need to understand the big picture of history in order to really understand. my life. Also according to the author, most of the educational apparatus only teaches the history of the country, its own religion and culture. “I spent 12 years in school in Israel and never heard anything about Chinese history or what happened before Judaism. I never took a class that teaches about the agricultural revolution. So everyone needs to see the big picture and Sapiens can provide it in an interesting and accessible way ”- says author Harari. Volume one of the series focuses on the formation of the human race that dominates the Earth today, including 4 parts. Part 1 – The rebels on the grassland: the human race was originally just an ordinary animal like any other, and there have been many different human species in the evolutionary process. Part 2 – Fictional Masters: 70,000 years ago, Sapiens had a Cognitive Revolution. Humankind has left artificial works and achievements thanks to the cooperation on a large scale, through language communication and information exchange. Part 3 – Sex, lying and cave painting: tells about people’s life after the Cognitive Revolution and before the agricultural revolution. Sapiens groups are very different in social structure, family, and religious beliefs. Part 4 – Intercontinental killers: in the process of spreading across the globe, humans have caused many ecological disasters, making many native animals extinct. The author has raised a fictitious trial of the Sapiens species for this crime, and all humans share the common responsibility.

‘Made in China’ world vision is based on international standards. (Source: Global Times) Sheet Global Times Recently published an article admitting weaknesses in China’s “Made in China” strategy to the world through analysis by author Dinh Cuong, Researcher at the Chongqing Financial Research Institute of Nhan Dan University. Chinese people. Weakness in standards According to the article, the Xinjiang Cotton event reveals a weakness of the “Made in China” strategy in looking to the world, which is the standard. The main reason for the Swiss-based Better Cotton Development Association (BCI) to be able to issue a “refusal to use Xinjiang cotton” with no evidence “, is that the standard is in hand. their. Standards are the fundamental rules of commerce, and standards and eligibility affect 80% of global trade. We live in an age when standards are dominant. According to statistics, there are more than 800,000 different standards worldwide, but only about 2% of which become the world standard. Due to historical factors, most of these international standards were established by developed countries such as the US and Europe. Holding standards equates to holding the right to lead the market and the right to formulate rules over the product otherwise, only behind others. There is a principle in the world that “third-tier firms sell products, second-tier firms sell technology and top-tier firms sell standards”. Chinese enterprises have suffered a lot of the suffering of “third-class enterprises”. Take cell phones as an example, as Chinese enterprises develop technical standards for 3G mobile phones autonomously, The Journal Washington Post (USA) has predicted that when China successfully develops its own 3G technical standards, it will no longer have to pay huge royalties to foreign companies. According to a report published by the German patent information analysis agency IPLytics, as of February 2021, the top 5 enterprises that claimed essential patents for global 5G standards were Huawei, Qualcomm, and ZTE. , Samsung Electronics and Nokia. Standards have become a beacon for Huawei to achieve a high position in the industry and expand its market and revenue share. It should be noted that China cannot overthrow or dismantle the existing system of standards to build another system of standards. In the future, what China needs to do is strengthen leadership and leadership in this system through the setting of new standards, and at the same time push the system to make adjustments and take advantage of the right to participate. decision and the right to speak. China still needs cooperation, this is also an issue that needs to be considered when conducting the “game” with the West in this regard. “Made in China” world vision is based on international standards. Since the implementation of reform and opening up, international standards have played a leading role in promoting and enhancing the development of “Made in China”. In the future, “Made in China” will continue to develop in this path, comprehensive upgrading, towards high quality. Among China’s current standards, some have taken the lead, which is the result of China’s relentless acceleration and expansion of industrialization. This is not only an expansion or upgrade of inherent international standards, but also implies the innovation of China itself. Many obstacles At the 39th General Assembly of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) held in Beijing in May 2016, China at that time had 189 proposals to become ISO international standards, especially in In the fields of high-speed rail, nuclear power, information and automobiles, China has made a leap from its lagging position to the leading position. The major problem is that although Chinese firms have rebuilt new standards in some key areas or advantageous areas, the application of these new standards still requires a lot of friction. more, longer to the international market. According to the survey on infrastructure construction projects contracted by Chinese enterprises overseas, it can be seen that it is very difficult for Chinese enterprises to create a breakthrough in the field of standards. Most of the infrastructure projects are the construction of bridges, reservoirs, power stations, roads and railways. During domestic development, Chinese enterprises have had many technological innovations, many of which have surpassed international standards. However, Chinese firms still encounter varying degrees of difficulty in applying Chinese standards to these overseas projects. China’s manufacturing industry needs to make more efforts to meet international standards. (Source: Caixin) In such troubles, the technical staff of Chinese enterprises can often only convince the supervisory department and the contracting party, and use the actual results to prove the feasibility of the company. Chinese technology and Chinese standards. In many cases, businesses are forced to revert to using the inherent international standards. The current international standard system has been in existence for a long time, China needs to have enough patience and a long-term world vision in the long term to rise in standards. Chinese standards face many tiers of obstacles. From the Xinjiang Cotton event, it can be seen that even if Chinese products are of good quality and up to standard, as long as the brand is still controlled by others, it will be beneficial to Western political forces. use. Judging from the 5G situation, the more China rises, the more difficult it becomes. During the XIII Five-Year Plan, China issued 285 national standards for smart manufacturing, leading the construction of 47 international standards, covering all production processes of enterprises. This sector has now become the focus of the game between China and the West. China’s manufacturing industry needs to work harder to meet the standards, but the question is whether Western countries can, or to some extent, adopt and follow the new standards set by China. National construction or not? In the US, recently there have been many voices calling for the manufacturing industry to return to the country, but the return of the entire production chain is not possible. This does not mean that the US will give up on the value chain it dominates. How to bring into full play the design and regulation capabilities of the state, make the correct choice between competition and cooperation, between openness and management, between protecting interests and transferring claims ask for an accurate long-term vision and calculation (According to Global Times)

Subconsciously, Chelsea Wood dreams of becoming an ocean biologist, studying the lives of dolphins or diving deep into the sea to solve the mystery of the vast animal world. She has a special fondness for sea snails, spending time watching each little animal slowly moving inside the mini “laboratory”, a wooden basket. It took more than 20 years, Chelsea Wood, then known in the world of marine biology at the University of Washington, realized that the childhood world in a snail shell as a child hides life from the larvae. The flatworm species Cryptocotyle lingua (a common fish parasite), in the naive thinking of a young age, looks extremely adorable and has the charm of two black-eyed dots. Wood couldn’t take his eyes off the bizarre creature, and then constantly questioned their origins, so much so that he said, “One day, I’ll know who they are.” Going to college, Wood spends most of his time in the lab with his … stupid friends. Wood’s biological world lives on its host, like an outcast in the animal universe. Apparently, the scientific community is indebted to Chelsea Wood (et al.), When the researcher initiated the movement to preserve the parasites has always been estranged by science. The microscopic, “parasitic” world must make up nearly half of all known animals on Earth, but not all species are harmful to the host, including humans. The parasites make up nearly half of all known animals on Earth. Imagine one day in the next century, 10% of parasites disappear due to climate change, there is no suitable host, what will happen? Wood is concerned, but we’re indifferent. The International Union for Conservation of Nature only lists a few species of mussels or lice parasites as “high risk”, while the parasite world is extremely large. Chelsea Wood said that, neglecting the parasite, is accepting failure in biological science research. Scientifically contested, critically opposed the views of anyone who supported Chealsea Wood. Biology preserves the fallacy, that we are taking slow steps … but surely to explore the parasite world, not forget. A few support Chelsea Wood, believing that the achievements in parasitic research open up potential for breakthroughs in medicine, ecology and the history of species development. The charm of the parasite lurks within the ancient genetic resources to evolve, from the tiny “super evil” crustacean ready to kill the fish’s tongue to the wasps with venom that paralyzes the brain of cockroaches. We still envision creatures swung, stained and frightened, but the parasitic world impresses in their own way, and holds a key part of all species’ lives. Many, but not all Humans are superior animals, but share the same fate with the vast majority of other species such as lions, zebras or even fish and shrimp. That is, we all become hosts of many parasitic groups, even though humans do not show hospitality to them. Science believes that hundreds of different parasitic species have evolved to adapt to the body, and then attach their lives, including many generations to come, to the human body. Chealsea Wood doubted, from the time she was sitting in the university lab, about the parasite’s ability to “grow like a mushroom” – a moment when she thought of herself as a nutritious buffet. energy for any hunger in the biological world. Big idea met together. When ecologist Skylar Hopkins (University of North Carolina) defined the concept of parasitism, Wood seemed to open his eyes. The nature of the parasite is an incompatible symbiotic relationship between species, in which one species is a parasite, one is a parasite, the other is a host or a host. Just imagine this simple: species of parasites are not wild “race arms” like hunting – being eaten, but the trick of choosing a “leisurely” life with a big partner. Wood, and then Hopkins, foresaw that nature doesn’t like emptiness, and if given the chance, something evolved to fill that void. This becomes the foundation for the two scientists to mobilize a wave of in-depth research on parasites towards preventing the endangered threat of many species. New England buffalo leech suddenly disappeared for the past 10 years. Life on Earth formed inside a mixed bowl of soup, with primitive drops of Coacervate, making up countless creatures. The parasite thus evolved, over billions of years, from a single-celled microorganism to today’s complex vertebral body. Amateurs will be shocked if they know that parasites exist everywhere, from parasitic fungi, parasitic worms, to parasitic birds, even demon bats with their favorite “food” being the blood of other animals. The oblivion of science made Hopkins speak, and like Wood at first, received only the shake of his head. The Wood-Kins couple did not give up, but quietly enlarged parasite conservation research groups in the US, then spread to Europe, starting to implement a global plan in early 2021 with the media front: Journal of Biological Conservation. Ten years of tracing parasitic science, underwater or on land, are frustrating days when Wood-Kins has only kept two “ancient” data samples from the 1940s. Death and death – the host dies, the parasite dies, without any recorded evidence. The endangered rare dwarf pig in the foothills of the Himalayas made Chelsea Wood and Skylar Hopkins discouraged to learn that this pig-like blood-sucking lice have hardly disappeared. And what makes Wood-Kins want to give up most is his ambition to eradicate a parasitic louse on the California Falcon, or the New England buffalo leech that has been suddenly missing for the past ten years. Normalization of relations One winter night in December 2020, Skylar Hopkins received a long email with concerns about the world of parasites. How terrible would that biological universe, if one day disappear, be? Hopkins quietly painted a pale picture: the parasite is not worrying, only afraid that the ecosystem will “explode” without the parasites. Some people consider the female parasite needs to adjust the population, limit the individual quantity of the species to keep the balance for the ecosystem. Some people assume that no parasite means that many species lose their food source. Hopkins believes this, because some parasites transform their hosts to evolve, manipulate the “mentality” of new owners, turning new hosts into good prey for other species. Hopkins called this a talent for hypnosis, she discovered in the horse mane worms (Nematomorpha) specialized in cricket parasites, thanks to the substance capable of destroying the nervous system that prompted the owner to voluntarily jump into the water and drown. The host dies, the horse maneworms will escape and begin a new cycle with the next victim, while the crickets become food for freshwater salmon. With Chelsea Wood, humans do not rush to a universe without parasites. In many countries like the United States, the disappearance of some intestinal parasites has caused many confusing autoimmune diseases. Thinking explains it in a way: the immune system evolved along with an “association” of parasites and protozoa, so losing this association begins to attack itself. That is why many people with Crohn’s disease (chronic trans-walled enteritis) have sought a cure when rebalancing the intestinal ecosystem with some parasitic species. Horse mane worms are capable of hypnosis, causing the cricket host to commit suicide. Obviously, the movement Wood-Kins initiated, which made even the hardest of people more or less happy. Dr. Bobbi Pritt, for example, famous at the Mayo Clinic for his “anti-parasitic” view, is always busy carrying blood tubes containing dozens of malaria parasites, looking closely at the diseased brain tissue. Toxoplasma curvature to nest, or cure ulcers from sandfly bites. Blog page “Poisonous, Crazy but Beautiful” was born, towards the medical point of view is to remove pathogenic parasites but need to dig deep into research and be ready to preserve when needed. It seems that Wood and Hopkins have successfully conveyed the message: we do not need to love parasites, but should “normalize” their relationship when there are many hidden parasitic mysteries to nature and species themselves. people. With mother of nature, understanding first and then knowing what the next step should be …

When the Covid-19 pandemic first broke out, the vaccine was still just a ray of light at the end of the tunnel. The term “community immunity” is to denote the end of the epidemic. Community immunity means that when enough Americans are protected from the virus, the pathogen is eliminated, New York Times said. Today, more than half of all adults in the United States receive at least one dose of the vaccine. But vaccination rates are declining, and there is consensus among scientists and public health experts that public immunity cannot be achieved, at least in the near future, and perhaps never. hours. They came to the conclusion that the virus could become a controllable threat that will continue to spread in the US for many years to come. It still causes flare-ups with hospitalizations and deaths, but on a smaller scale. Depends on the strain’s ability of the virus How much smaller future outbreaks will be and the number of cases and deaths is uncertain. It depends on how many countries in the world are vaccinated, and more importantly, how the virus evolved. Viruses are evolving too quickly. The new strains spread very quickly. Meanwhile, the immunization speed is too slow. That makes the expectation of community immunity even more distant. The United States is one of the countries with the highest rates of Covid-19 vaccination in the world. Photo: New York Times. Experts believe that vaccinating high-risk groups will be crucial to limit the size of new outbreaks. “The virus is unlikely to go away, but we are doing all we can to see if it is likely to cause only mild infections,” said Rustom Antia, an evolutionary biologist at Emory University in Atlanta, USA. said. To date, experts still cannot be sure what percentage of the population has anti-Covid-19 antibodies. Even for people with antibodies, experts cannot be sure of their immunity to new strains. Dr Anthony S. Fauci, the leading adviser to the Joe Biden administration on Covid-19, admits the change in thinking among experts. “We stopped using the term community immunity. I said, vaccinate a sufficient number of people, the level of infection will drop,” he said. Why is community immunity difficult to achieve When the corona virus begins to spread globally in early 2020, many experts believe that public immunity is the key to escaping the pandemic. That is when enough people have acquired immunity, including through natural infection or vaccination, when the virus will run out of people to infect and go away on its own. 30% of the US population is reluctant to get the Covid-19 vaccine. Photo: New York Times. The concept of public immunity has become a tacit target in many countries, including the United States. Initially, the threshold for achieving public immunity is 60-70% of the infected population. Most experts, including Dr. Fauci, believe that the United States can achieve public immunity before vaccines become available. But when the vaccine started to be distributed, this threshold estimate began to increase. Initial estimates were made based on the spread of the original virus. Variant B.117 – first discovered in the UK – was up to 60% more infectious than the original strain. Experts estimate the new threshold to 80%. If new strains continue to grow and spread, or if scientists find vaccinated people can still transmit the virus, the threshold calculation may need to be revised again. In addition, recent polls show that about 30% of the US population is afraid to be vaccinated. “Theoretically we could get an immunization rate of 90% of the population, but in reality it’s very difficult,” said Marc Lipsitch, an epidemiologist at Harvard TH Chan School of Public Health. While vaccination resistance is the main reason why the United States cannot achieve public immunity, it is not the main reason. Community immunity is often seen as a national target, but it’s a vague concept in a country as large as the United States. On a global scale, this possibility becomes even more distant. Immunization is still the key Dr. David M. Morens, senior advisor to Dr. Fauci, said community immunity can vary with population size, human behavior and many other factors. A small outbreak in a low vaccination area could spill over and hit an area where the majority of the population was vaccinated. Immunization remains the key to dealing with the epidemic. Photo: New York Times. At the same time, the connections between the countries of the world, especially when the travel restriction is reduced, underscores the urgency of protection, not only for Americans but for other countries as well. Any new strain of Covid-19 that arises in the world will eventually come to America. At that time, the vaccination rate is the decisive factor for the protection level of the community with the new strains. Many parts of the world lag far behind the United States in immunization. Less than 2% of Indians are vaccinated and less than 1% in South Africa, according to data New York Times . “We will not achieve public immunity as nations, states, even cities, until we have immunity in all populations,” Lauren Ancel Says Meyers, director of the Covid Modeling Organization, University of Texas. By focusing on vaccinating the most at-risk groups, the US has reduced its mortality rate compared to before. If vaccination rates continue to increase over time, the corona virus may become seasonal, similar to the flu. The biggest challenge facing health professionals is convincing people to vaccinate. Many Americans remain skeptical of the vaccine’s effectiveness. Another group lacked access to vaccines, such as homeless people, migrant workers, or certain communities of color. That makes the goal of achieving community immunity even more difficult. The mentality of the vast majority of people is that they want to see someone else embrace something, before they’re willing to try it. Emphasizing the benefits of vaccination may become more effective than the fictional idea of ​​herd immunity. “That will resonate with people more than the elusive concept that experts are still trying to come up with,” said Mary Politi, a specialist in health and health communication, University of Washington. Experts also recommend increasing vaccination rates for children, even babies. Because over time, if there aren’t enough people vaccinated, new strains can develop and disrupt the vaccine’s ability to protect itself.

In 2017, it was reported that the AI ​​had beaten the leading Go player in the world. Compared to chess or chess, go is characterized by a wide table with long moves, depending on the situation that the value of the stone (chess piece) changes. “Don’t lose to AI” is the opposite of nature Applying the same approach to chess as “memorizing all moves, calculating the most appropriate move” is difficult. Therefore, it was thought that the ability of computers to win against humans was in the future. However, AlphaZero, a Google DeepMind software released in October 2017, has become very powerful by deliberately self-learning rather than using data as gameplay profiles of previous players as models. . Moreover, not only Go but AlphaZero can play other games as well. Computers have gone away from human hands, can learn and grow up on their own. AI has evolved at such an amazing rate. Ray Kurzweil, who has authority in the field, says that 2045 will be the time to reach the “Technological Singularity”. Artificial intelligence will surpass human intelligence and the world will have big changes. Discussion about what to equip yourself to avoid being robbed of jobs by AI, to prepare in advance what you can do and AI is not spreading. However, for me that is not realistic. Predictions of “things the AI ​​can’t do” can also be overturned. Just by looking at the current rate of evolution, we can also confirm that a transformation beyond the ordinary human imagination will inevitably happen. Therefore, the mindset “Just trying to learn things that AI cannot do” will only create risks without enriching people’s lives. “Living and treating not failing with AI as the goal” is against the nature of the incident. Perhaps that is to give AI a human life. Whether AI or not, the story of “whether I live my life deeply or not” is the most important thing. To deepen humanity, I think it makes a lot of sense to read books about AI, predict the future. Surely you will be able to enrich humanity by deepening your thinking with books like “If AI possesses intelligence over the human brain, things like exchange information in a way. very ‘human’ is probably going to be a simple matter. If so, what will help man to become more ‘human’? What will he be pursuing from man? “. “If artificial intelligence had a reason beyond the human brain, would the expressions expressing the ‘human’ nature still be simple? If so, what will help people become more ‘human’? What am I going to pursue in human? ”, Surely you will enrich the human life. AI has evolved amazingly. Photo: in.springboard. For the human future We humans are “Homo sapiens = wise people”. Being able to share wisdom with others and pass it on to the next generation is the great point of Homo sapiens. If you go to a bookstore or library, the ancient East-West wisdom will fill in a narrow place. Great people have spent their whole lives searching for the truth or devoting themselves to sublimating in literary form, archived in book form, and can be read by anyone. Therefore, humans can make wisdom to progress. If you just talk to your family and friends, a monkey or a dog can do it too. Even ants are doing it too (they may not speak out loud, but they have a rich way of communicating). However, the animals and insects were incapable of knowing what people in other regions and eras were thinking. Not reading is a loss of pride as a “wise man”. If the capacity to concentrate weakens and man not only “does not read” but becomes “unreadable”, the future of mankind will no longer be bright. Again, I’m not saying that the Internet and the social network (SNS) are bad. These amazing tools are also something born of human intelligence. The point is to use them appropriately. However, it’s a waste to get completely bogged down in it and forget the joy of reading. Reading is a privilege to be enjoyed. It is also the most wonderful thing that can deepen our life. I think it is in the golden age of the Internet and today’s social networking, to once again focus on reading is essential.

This is also known as the “island law”, which is an ecological geographic law in evolutionary biology. In general, among animals that migrate from land to island, large animals tend to be smaller, and small animals tend to get bigger – this is called giantism. Island gigantism. For example, an extinct species of giant hutias in the Western Indian Ocean Islands is the largest known rodent. Its weight can reach a staggering level (about 200 kg), equivalent to that of an American black bear. Another famous example is the Dodo bird on the island of Mauritius. Due to the fact that the island’s environment is devoid of predators, they have also grown to form large and flightless. In contrast to island giantism, a condition where body size becomes smaller after immigration to an island is called Insular dwarfism. The most typical example is the dwarf elephant found many times on islands around the world. Elephants have always been known to be the largest terrestrial stump, but some dwarf elephants can only reach the size of a pig. Those who have read Odyssey will be impressed by Cyclops. According to speculation, the Cyclops prototype was a dwarf elephant. 2000 years ago, the Greeks probably excavated the remains of a dwarf elephant on an island near the Mediterranean Sea. Its skull size was almost twice that of a human skull. Perhaps it was because they had never seen an elephant, so the Greeks imagined it as the skull of a one-eyed giant, and related rumors and myths were born from this. Animal species that also dwarfed the island environment also included species such as dwarf mammoths, small hippos and Florida island deer, all of which were one size smaller than their terrestrial counterpart. Among them, the most extreme dwarf island fauna is the mini chameleon (Brookesia micra) of Hara Island in northeastern Madagascar, Africa. It is the smallest chameleon known to mankind, the largest one measuring no more than 3 cm. It is worth noting that this dwarfism does not only occur in ordinary animals. Even we humans cannot escape the law of the island. The pop culture dwarves are not unfounded, the “hobbits” are real. Flores island in Indonesia has an area of ​​only 14,000 square kilometers, but on this small island there used to be a small group of people who used to live. They are also “cursed” by dwarfism and this affects their stature. According to estimates from nine known fossils, this ancient human was only 1 to 1.2 meters tall and weighed about 25 kg. As we all know, the average 6-year-old modern person’s average height is more than 1.1 meters tall. This inevitably reminds people of the hobbits in “The Lord of the Rings”, so the ancient people on Flores were also known as “hobbits”. From a taxonomic point of view, the Flores belong to the same genus as us. Hence, they are also the smallest known human species. The ancestor of the Flores was Homo erectus. About 200,000 years ago or earlier, they moved on to Flores Island. Compared to the mainland, the island’s resources were very limited and the Homo erectus people were often hungry due to lack of food. If the people are short, there is a better chance of survival because they need to eat less. As a result, the dwarf gene is passed from generation to generation, and eventually develops into Floresians. Biological evolution has shown more than once that some strange things will happen on the islands. And from the changes in body shape of the other animals on Flores Island, you can feel the power of the law of the island. At that time, on the island there was a species of elephant named Stegodon florensis, only 1.5m high and weighing no more than 800kg. Their land-based compatriot is the elephant Stegodon zdanskyi. They are stronger and more powerful than modern African elephants, this species is about 3.8 meters tall and weighs 12 tons. But not all of the animals on this island have been reduced to the same size as the Flores and the Stegodon florensis, in fact, the small terrestrial animals that migrate here will achieve a Giant size beyond imagination. The most typical example is the Flores Giant Rat, since without natural predators, they are not even afraid of humans. Of course, this giant rat does not threaten the survival of the Flores Island biological population. Except for some insects, the giant rat Flores is mostly vegetarian. It can be said that biological evolution on the islands took place in a very strange way. Therefore, scientists always think of the first word “island” when discovering creatures with anomalous body shape. So what is the factor that causes the animals on the island to change their body shape? For many years, scientists have always wanted to summarize the general nature of the rules on the island, and try to solve that mystery. The first person to try to explain this phenomenon was a biologist named J. Bristol Foster. Therefore, this ecological geophysical law is also known as “Ford’s Law”. In 1964, his dissertation compared 116 island species with terrestrial species and plotted them in a table. In an article titled “Mammal Evolution on Islands,” Foster said that among the new “inhabitants” of the island, rodents tend to grow larger. Predators and ungulates will tend to be dwarfed. In general, large terrestrial species will be smaller and smaller land species larger on islands. In this regard, Foster also provided some tentative explanations. The number of species on the islands is much less than on the mainland, and the number of predators and competitors will decrease accordingly. This seems to be an advantage for small rodents. Because they do not have a predator, they always have a sufficient source of food and can control their fertility rate well. But hippos, deer and other large animals cannot do this. A lack of predators would also mean an overabundance and a shortage of food. Consequently, the smaller members of the population will have a higher survival rate and begin to affect the entire population. They grow from generation to generation and their sizes are getting smaller and smaller. Foster’s paper is simple, but at the time it aroused strong interest in the scientific community. Thereafter, more extensive research was conducted on the island’s organisms, and the island law was a little more refined. In fact, large organisms have more food choices and more easily control other species. Small organisms, on the other hand, require fewer resources, shorter reproductive cycles, and adapt faster. Therefore, in the island ecological environment, where every aspect is limited, these factors are very important and have special effects. Subsequent studies also found that the speed at which the island’s animals change body shape was indeed staggering. 24 km from the French coast, there is an island named Jersey. About 6000 years ago, the deer came here and completely isolated from the mainland. As a result, in this short time of thousands of years, the red deer on the island has shrunk by 1/6 of that of the people on the mainland. Fossil records show that it only took 5,000 years to dwarf a population of elephants from 4 meters in height to about 1 meter. However, it should be noted that the island laws are only a general model of evolution, not absolute law. The environment on an island includes many different factors, such as the size of the island, climate, natural history, habitat, biological relationships, etc.These factors will also affect the size of the island. animals on the island to a certain extent.

Ancient corona virus illustration, 25,000 years ago. The current COVID-19 pandemic has claimed the lives of more than 3 million people and shows how vulnerable people are to the genetically modified corona virus. However, this threat seems to have occurred since the early days when humans had to fight these dangerous viruses. “There are always viruses that infect humans,” said senior study author David Enard, associate professor of ecology and evolution at the University of Arizona, USA. Viruses are actually one of the main drivers of natural selection in the human genome. That’s because genes that increase the chances of the pathogen’s survival are more likely to be passed on to new generations. ” Using modern tools, researchers can detect traces of these ancient pathogens by precisely identifying how they promote natural selection in today’s human DNA. Accordingly, this information can provide valuable insight to help predict future pandemics. Enard said: “Almost always is when things that happened in the past are more likely to happen in the future.” Using information available in public databases, Enard and his team analyzed the genomes of 2,504 people across 26 different human populations around the world. When corona viruses get inside human cells, they attack the cell’s machinery to replicate. This means that the viral success depends on its interaction with hundreds of different human proteins. Researchers magnified a set of 420 human proteins known to interact with the corona virus, 332 of which interact with SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. Most of these proteins help viruses multiply inside cells, but some help cells fight viruses. The genes that encode those proteins mutate continuously and randomly, but if the mutation gives the gene an advantage, such as a better resistance to the virus – then the gene has a chance to be passed on. next or selected higher. Indeed, the researchers found that, in people of East Asian descent, certain genes interacting with the corona virus were selected. In other words, over time certain variations show up more often than expected. This set of mutations may have helped the ancestors of the human population in this region become more ancient antiviral by altering the amount of protein produced by the cell. The genetic variations encoding 42 of the 420 proteins they analyzed began to increase in frequency about 25,000 years ago, the researchers found. The spread of beneficial variants continued until about 5,000 years ago. This suggests that the ancient virus continued to threaten these populations for a long time. Viruses cause pressure to adapt “Viruses exert some of the strongest selective pressures on humans to adapt, and corona viruses have probably been around since,” said Joel Wertheim, associate professor at the Faculty of Medicine at the University of California, San Diego. long before man existed. However, it is difficult to say whether the virus that caused this evolution is the corona virus, but it seems to be a plausible theory. David Enard agrees that the ancient pathogen that harmed our ancestors may not have been the corona virus; instead, it is possible that another virus that has happened to interact with human cells in the same way that corona viruses do. Another group of researchers recently discovered that sarbecovirus, a family of the corona virus that includes SARS-CoV-2, first evolved 23,500 years ago, at the same time as variations in the genes that encode the proteins related to the corona virus have appeared for the first time in humans. Findings of the sarbecovirus virus were also published in bioRxiv on February 9 and have yet to be peer reviewed. While these findings are compelling, they do not change our understanding of which populations are more likely to survive SARS-CoV-2 infection. Although, there is no evidence that adaptation of this ancient gene protects modern humans from SARS-CoV-2. Enard and his team now hope to work with virologists to understand how this adaptation helped ancient humans survive exposure to this protozoan strain of the corona virus. The team also hopes that such ancient genomic studies could eventually be used as an “early warning system” for future pandemics. David Enard adds, although we clearly see the impact of this ancient virus on human ancestors, future generations will not be able to see traces of SARS-CoV-2 in the genome. our. Thanks to vaccination, there is no time for the virus to promote evolutionary adaptation.

Photo: Getty Images On October 5, 2020, the GISAID global database shared the genetic makeup of the mutant virus B.1.617 for the first time. India is the country with the most patients infected with B.1.617, followed by the UK, then the US, so far there are a total of 22 countries infected with different degrees. It is not clear what country B.1.617 is from. There are two misunderstandings that should be avoided: one is the concept of the B.1.617 mutant strain originating from India, the other is the term “double mutation”. India is only a country with many patients infected with B.1.617 but no evidence of this mutant virus originated from India. The term “double mutation” is used to refer to two mutations, E484Q and L452R. According to the evolutionary principle of all viruses, strain B.1.617, when sequencing its genes, scientists found there were many different mutations. But there are two mutations that have caught the most attention of scientists; that is, the E484Q mutation could help the virus evade the immune system, and the L452R mutation could help the virus spread faster. In fact, the evolutionary virus had so many mutations at once, so two mutations like strain B.1.167 are not uncommon, and were even frequent in SARS-CoV-2 during pandemics. . Can not say “double mutation” B.1.617 is doubling the danger. The E484Q mutation is similar to E484K – a mutation previously found in the virus variant in the UK, South Africa and Brazil. Similarly, mutation L452R appeared in variant CAL.20C causing disease in the state of California (USA). Scientists disagree with the term “double mutation” when referring to variant B.1.617 because it is misleading that if two mutations occur, the danger level will increase. double. Variation B.1.617 not too dangerous Most experts believe that the mutant virus strain B.1.617 is not the cause of the epidemic in India out of control. Dr Jeffrey Barrett, COVID-19 genomic research director at the Wellcome Sanger Institute (UK), said that variant B.1.617 is less severe than variants in the UK, South Africa and Brazil. On the extent of the spread, Mr. Barrett argues, it is clear that this variation has increased the frequency in India creating a huge and tragic wave, but it will take months to reach the present dangerous state, which This suggests that variant B.1.617 is less contagious than the UK mutant. Professor Richard Neher, who leads the research group on viral evolution at the University of Basel (Switzerland), also said that variant B.1.617 is not more severe than other variants. Although B.1.617 is causing a serious, out-of-control crisis that threatens to collapse the health system in India, according to Dr. Christian Drosten, Head of Virology at Charité Hospital (Germany), There is no reason to worry too much about the B.1.617 variant being called a “double mutation”. Virology experts shared that the B.1.617 variant was no more dangerous than the variants that appeared in the UK, South Africa and Brazil. Vietnam once appeared outbreaks due to the B1.1.7 variant of the UK occurred in Hai Duong, Quang Ninh, Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi and some other localities, but we have controlled and extinguished completely. B.1.617 has become the “tsunami” that knocked down the Indian giant, but with Vietnam, will we once again win? My answer is: Vietnam has won against B.1.617 again. Deadliest day For India, yesterday was the deadliest day with 3,293 deaths, bringing the total number of deaths from COVID-19 in the country to 201,187. Ambulances line up for hours in the New Delhi capital to take the bodies of COVID-19 victims to the temporary crematoriums in the park, the parking lot where the bodies were cremated, Times of India reported. Subjective, off guard India has had 215 new infections and 1 death every minute, and world records are being set every minute. With more than 18 million patients and nearly 200,000 deaths, India became the second most affected country in the world, only temporarily behind the US. The reason for the disaster was not due to sudden B.1,617. But due to some inaccurate information that has created the illusion, such as India has achieved excellent herd immunity, excellent epidemic control, a series of “humanitarian vaccine” policies are praised by the world. The Indian government prides itself on crushing the epidemic curve. In early 2021, the government’s anti-epidemic measures were loosened, and people’s guarding is inevitable. Google tracks the flow of people across countries. Accordingly, since January this year, Indians shop and move much more, the density of people is quite high in public areas, on public transport, the frequency of activities of people are close to normal status when the epidemic has not happened. When people are subjective, personal protective measures such as wearing a mask, measuring body temperature, disinfecting, and keeping social distance are almost not complied with. That is a significant factor contributing to the rapid spread of the epidemic. A series of exciting activities in the locality, such as campaigning, rally, election, demonstrations of farmers, even holding a big wedding are also opportunities for COVID-19 to break out. Before the serious epidemic in India, on April 28, State President Nguyen Xuan Phuc paid a visit to Indian President Ram Nath Kovind. Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh paid a visit to Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. On the same day, Foreign Minister Bui Thanh Son sent his greetings to Indian Foreign Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar. But the most unfortunate is probably related to the traditional festivals, especially the Kumbh Mela festival with a huge influx of Hindu pilgrims, estimated in the hundreds of millions, stretching through April. During the festival, nearly 5 million people jumped into the Ganges and baptized, every day about a million people join the pilgrimage to pray, they squeeze their shoulders like wings and do not wear masks because they think that India has exempted. community epidemic, while in reality both the infected person and the person being vaccinated are less than 10% of the population.

B.1.617 dangerous? I think we now have two misunderstandings to avoid. One is the concept of the B.1.617 mutant strain originating from India and the other is the term “double mutation”. Because India is only a country with many patients infected with B.1.617 only, there is no evidence of virus mutation originating from this country. The term “double mutation” is used to refer to two mutations, E484Q and L452R. According to the evolutionary principle of all viruses, strain B.1.617, when sequencing genes, scientists found many different mutations. But two mutations that have caught the most attention of scientists are the E484Q mutation that can help the virus evade the immune system, and the L452R mutation, which can help the virus spread faster. In fact, the evolved virus would have so many mutations at once, so it’s not uncommon for two mutations like strain B.1.167 to even occur frequently in SARS-CoV-2 during the megalomania. Translate. Personally, I cannot say “double mutation” B.1.617 is double the danger. The E484Q mutation is similar to E484K, a mutation previously found in the virus variant in the UK, South Africa and Brazil. Likewise, the L452R mutation was present in the epidemic CAL.20C variant in California. Scientists disagree with the term “double mutation” when referring to variant B.1.617 because that term is easily misleading. They believe that if two mutations occur, the danger level will double. Immunologist and microbiologist Kristian Andersen (California Campus) and professor of microbiology Sharon Peacock (Cambridge University) are both very in-depth research on mutant virus strains, but they disagree when using use the term “double mutation”. On the other hand, they do not agree to assign the strain B.1.617 originating from India. Most experts believe that the mutant virus strain B.1.617 is not the cause of the epidemic in India out of control. Logically, strain B.1.617 appeared in India from October 5, 2020. Since that time India has been taking steps to control the disease very well, with many remarkable achievements. By November 2020, India has basically successfully controlled the epidemic, the number of cases per day has fallen to less than 10,000 people since the beginning of 2021. B.1.617 is present in 22 countries but still under control. When a virus variant appeared, scientists immediately studied four problems. The first is the ability to cause disease. The second is the ability to evade immunity and vaccines. The third is the trait of the new mutation from the previous variants and the fourth is the contagiousness of the new mutant strain. Dr Jeffrey Barrett, COVID-19 genomic research director at the Wellcome Sanger Institute, said that variant B.1.617 is less severe than variants in the UK, South Africa and Brazil. On the extent of the spread, Barrett argues, it is clear that this variation in frequency increases in India creating a huge and tragic wave, but it will take months to reach the present dangerous state. This suggests that variant B.1.617 is less contagious than the UK mutant. Professor Richard Neher, who leads the research group on the evolution of the virus at the University of Basel also said that variant B.1.617 is no more severe than the other variants. Although B.1.617 is causing crisis, out of control, there is a risk of a complete collapse of the health system in India. But according to Dr. Christian Drosten, head of virology at Charité Hospital in Berlin, there is no reason to worry too much about the B.1.617 variant called a “double mutation”. Similarly, other virologists around the world have shared the same view that variant B.1.617 is more dangerous than the variants that happened in the UK, South Africa and Brazil. Vietnam once appeared outbreaks due to the B.1.1.7 variant of the UK occurred in Hai Duong, Quang Ninh, TP. Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi and a few other provinces, but we controlled and extinguished it completely. The question is that B.1.617 has become the “tsunami” that knocked down the Indian giant, but with Vietnam, will we once again win? My answer is: “Vietnam has won against B.1.617 again!”. (Illustration) Causes of outbreaks in India Almost a week, India has 215 new infections and 1 death every minute, world records are continuously set. The old record just yesterday this morning was crushed, with more than 18 million patients and nearly 200,000 deaths. India became the second most heavily affected country in the world, only temporarily behind the US. The reason for the disaster was not due to the B.1,617 mutation, but some inaccurate information that created the illusion of both the government and the people. For example, the news that India has achieved herd immunity, or its outstanding record in epidemic control, has been accompanied by a series of internationally-acclaimed “humanitarian vaccines” policies. The Indian government prides itself on crushing the epidemic curve! In early 2021, the government’s anti-epidemic measures were loosened, and people’s guarding is inevitable. Google tracks the flow of people across countries, since January of this year, Indians have been shopping and moving a lot more. The density of people is quite high in public areas or on public transport, the frequency of activities of the people is close to the normal state when there has not been an epidemic. When people are subjective, personal protective measures such as wearing a mask, measuring body temperature, disinfecting, and keeping social distance are almost not complied with. That is a significant factor contributing to the rapid spread of the epidemic. A series of exciting activities in the locality, such as campaigning, rally, election, demonstrations of farmers, even holding a big wedding are also opportunities for COVID-19 to break out. But the most unfortunate thing is probably the traditional festivals, especially the Kumbh Mela festival with a huge influx of Hindu pilgrims, estimated at hundreds of millions, lasting through April. During the festival, nearly 5 million people jumped into the Ganges to baptize. Every day about a million people join the pilgrimage to pray, they squeeze wings and do not wear masks because they believe that India is immune to the herd, when in fact both the infected and the vaccinated people have not. up to 10% of the population. But … India still has a long way to go to have herd immunity. In Southeast Asia, from Cambodia, Laos, Thailand to the Philippines, the epidemic is booming, every country is also at risk of breaking the battle. What should Vietnam do? Vietnam will also not be immune from invasive diseases. But fortunately, each day Vietnam has more than 20 traditional festivals, but only small ones. I advocate scaling down these festivals, even canceling them if it’s not safe. As for the festival related to tourism, because the epidemic is still long, it is impossible to stop forever, fight against epidemics well to maintain activities aimed at socio-economic development, in which tourism is a very important part. In my opinion, in the coming time, an epidemic outbreak in India and surrounding countries, Vietnam needs to turn tourism and tourism-related festivals into forms of social relaxation. For example, during the 4-day holiday this weekend, tourist destinations just need to change the scale; Cancellation of all public gatherings during the festival, such as cancellation of firework events, cancellation of indoor stage performance events, cancellation of outdoor large stage performance events. If we do so, tourists are mostly going for a break, essentially like a round of social break. On the whole, this weekend of 4-day holiday, in my opinion is a great time to have a break, especially with families returning home, or the few who stay in the city also resting in place, So the 4-day vacation is a very good opportunity to prevent epidemics. Ultimately, we must still have a vaccine to tackle the pandemic.

The US-China technology war The US and China are currently engaged in a full-blown technology war. The war began under the Trump administration and is continuing under President Joe Biden. In fact, Mr. Biden viewed US competition with China as an important front since he took office. The tech war began as a trade dispute, but quickly turned into a war for leadership in core technologies like 5G, artificial intelligence (AI), and semiconductors. With a long history of development, the US remains the global technology leader for decades, but that position is currently being challenged by China. After Washington began blocking Chinese access to core US-controlled technologies such as semiconductors, Beijing doubled down on its efforts to “de-America” ​​in its supply chain. The global pandemic contributed to tensions between the two countries, prompting President Biden to issue an executive order to review the US supply chain for core products such as chips, batteries, rare earths and supplies. medical. Proposed bills to significantly increase US investment and R&D spending in core technology have also received bipartisan support in Washington. The US-China technology war – a conflict that does not seem to have ended so far. What caused the tech war? On May 19, 2015, the Chinese government announced the “Made in China 2025” plan to promote the country’s manufacturing industry within the next 10 years. Analysts point to the “Made in China 2025” strategy, Beijing’s 10-year plan to transform the country from a “manufacturing giant to a world manufacturing power” that sparked the technological war. . After taking power in the White House, Donald Trump focused his efforts to prevent China from becoming the global technology leader. A series of events from sanctions imposed on Chinese telecommunications giant ZTE for disguising its role in selling US technology to Iran, accusing China of stealing American intellectual property and Concerns about Huawei’s dominance in 5G have turned into an extensive tech war that has won bipartisan support in the US. What is the difference between trade war and technology war? The US-China trade war began on July 6, 2018, when US President Donald Trump imposed 25% tariffs on $ 34 billion of Chinese imports, citing the need to “rebalance. equals “America’s growing trade deficit with China. Other taxes have been applied in 2018 and 2019. However, the trade war was soon overshadowed by the tech war that the U.S. fears that China is using unfair means, including state power and stealing intellectual property, to gain is targeted to become a global leader in core technologies such as AI, semiconductors and 5G. Did the US really separate factories from China? In the decades after China joined the World Trade Organization in 2001, the US and Chinese economies became intertwined. China is a factory that manufactures low-cost American goods, from computers to stuffed toys. President Donald Trump’s “America First” policy and the US-China trade war have sparked calls for the US to reduce its dependence on China-based supply chains. Initially, withdrawing from China was rejected as impractical because of the cheap labor force and the large Chinese market that American companies could not ignore. However, a form of seclusion has received the support of the US administration, even from technology leaders such as former Google CEO Eric Schmidt saying that “splitting” will benefit the United States. . The concept of “split” existed in the internet space when Facebook and Google were not allowed to operate social networks and search engines in China, while the US also banned or restricted the presence of media. Chinese social media like TikTok and WeChat in the US. The global pandemic highlights the world’s reliance on China for important medical supplies such as masks and also spurs calls to bring supply chains back to the United States. In February, President Joe Biden signed an executive order calling for a review of product supply chains critical to chips, batteries, pharmaceutical ingredients and rare earth minerals. What is China doing to improve the influence of US actions? China attaches special importance to its own technology development, especially the chip. Although China initially imposed tariffs in retaliation, the top leaders’ call to action was technology self-sufficiency. In 2018, President Xi Jinping said “China must persist in the path of self-reliance in the context of increasing unilateralism and protectionism in the current world”. After Huawei was blocked from buying US chips and China’s largest semiconductor maker SMIC was restricted from buying U.S. technology for alleged association with the Chinese military, Beijing has intensified its focus on achieves semiconductor self-sufficiency. The Chinese government has supported the domestic chip industry with favorable policies, from tax breaks to state subsidies to promote the rapid development of the semiconductor industry. Technology is also a major focus for China in its 14th Five-Year Plan (2021-2025) announced in March, calling for the promotion of new digital industries, including AI, data. large, blockchain and cloud computing, along with expanding the use of 5G to many other industries such as smart transportation and logistics. Why is the US specifically targeting Huawei with trade sanctions? Washington’s interest in Huawei dates back to the early 2000s on suspicions that the Chinese company has close ties with the Beijing government. Years later, Huawei’s rise as the global leader in 5G technology rang alarm bells in Washington. One of the first public moves against the Chinese company came in January 2018 when US lawmakers pressured US telecom giant AT&T to withdraw from the phone distribution agreement. smart Huawei for US consumers. Seven months after AT&T’s decision, Washington barred government agencies from buying equipment and services from the Chinese company. When Huawei was placed on the US Commerce Department’s Blacklist in 2019, Google suspended some of its business with Huawei that involved transferring hardware or software products, except for protected products. by open source license. This is another “slap” on the Chinese technology corporation. For the Chinese government, Huawei is pride and a testament to the strength and potential of the Chinese people. Within three decades, since being founded in 1987 by Ren Zhengfei, Huawei has made some “miraculous” developments. From a company focusing on manufacturing phone switches, Huawei has become one of the largest private companies in the world, a leader in areas such as telecommunications equipment, smartphones, and electricity. cloud computing. What impact do the sanctions have on Huawei? Initially, the sanctions didn’t seem to affect Huawei much, which reported record sales of 858.8 billion yuan in 2019, up 19.1 percent year-on-year. Huawei also quickly revealed a self-developed operating system called HarmonyOS to replace Google Android. However, after Washington expanded the scope of sanctions in May 2020, requiring foreign chipmakers to use US technology, including TSMC and Taiwan’s MediaTek, to apply for a license to sell chips. for Huawei, the Chinese telecom giant appears to be in a slump again. The biggest impact is on Huawei’s smartphone operations. Due to a lack of high-end semiconductors, Huawei had to sell its Honor smartphone business to a newly formed conglomerate comprising more than 30 dealers and carriers. In the first quarter of 2021, Huawei was “kicked” out of the top 5 largest smartphone companies in the world in terms of sales. As stockpiles of smartphone components are declining and Honor’s business is over, Huawei will face even more pressure in the smartphone business. Many Chinese tech companies have caught up with the US Popular Chinese applications run the risk of being banned in the US. Image: The Economic Times. In October 2019, the US Commerce Department added 28 other Chinese companies to the trade blacklist about Beijing’s alleged human rights violations of the Uighurs. In May 2020, more than 20 Chinese government organizations and companies, including software technology giant Qihoo 360, were sanctioned for “assisting with procurement of items for military purposes in China. China”. The most recent US sanctions involve seven Chinese supercomputing entities blacklisted for national security concerns. Francis Lau, professor of computer science at the University of Hong Kong, said China’s supercomputers mainly use Intel, AMD and IBM CPUs. “The sanctions will certainly have a significant effect on China’s ability to stay at the top of supercomputers, since most of the components in its supercomputers today are US-made. Although it will be.” There are alternatives from other countries like Japan and South Korea, but the American component is still the best, ”said Professor Lau. Will the tech war be any different under the Biden administration? US President Joe Biden holds a semiconductor chip when he speaks before signing the executive order to address the global shortage of semiconductor chips in the White House. Photo: REUTERS In short, no. After Donald Trump’s tenure, President Biden continued to put pressure on Chinese technology and especially on Huawei’s case. In March, the US Commerce Department further restricted the products US companies can sell to Huawei, with clearer bans on the export of components such as semiconductors, antennas, and batteries. can be used in Huawei 5G equipment. A day later, the US Federal Communications Commission designated five Chinese technology companies, including Huawei, ZTE, Hytera Communications, Hikvision and Dahua, as “unacceptable risks” to security. America. As for Huawei, analysts believe that President Biden can offer a more effective policy than his predecessor in curbing Huawei’s global 5G ambitions by taking a more friendly approach to international partners in Europe and elsewhere. That could be more effective in isolating the Chinese company. In addition to sanctions on individual Chinese tech companies, President Biden has also pledged to more than double his investment in science and technology, focusing on areas like AI. and quantum computing. President Biden’s ambitious $ 2 trillion plan to improve US infrastructure includes an estimated $ 50 billion investment to help the country less reliant on chips manufactured abroad.

Bovbjerg cliffs in the Vestjylland UNESCO Global Geopark (Photo: UNESCO) Due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, countries that did not apply for new geopark recognition, the UNESCO Global Geopark Council decided to consider this year’s candidates from Old application form (period 2017-2019). In fact, evaluations of these geopark have been carried out since before the start of the pandemic. The management boards of these parks have also submitted additional information reports as requested by the Council. The new UNESCO Global Geopark is: 1. Vestjylland Global Geopark, Denmark About a third of the Geopark’s surface area is on the mainland, with the rest comprising marine areas in the Limfjord and the North Sea. The terrestrial part of the Geopark’s icy landscape are flat plains, lagoons and lakes formed by successive ice ages, especially the most recent ice age, Main Advance, took place 23,000 to 21,000 years ago. Wind and water are continuing to affect the landscape in very conspicuous ways. Geopark includes 13 areas Naruta 2000, 5 nature reserves and wildlife and more than 90 natural geological sites. Natura 2000 is the European Union’s ecological network, which includes important bird habitats and protected habitats that are important to other wildlife species of interest to the European Union. 2. Global Geopark Saimaa, Finland Geopark takes its name from Lake Saimaa, the largest lake in Finland and the 4th largest lake in Europe. Located in southeastern Finland, south of the Vuoksi water system, the Geopark stretches about 20 to 180 meters above sea level. One-third of the park’s 6,063 km² of surface area is water, dotted with thousands of islands, and a coastline of more than 8,000 km. The rocks of Saimaa point to the area’s as far back as 1,900 million years ago when it was part of the seabed. The rocky bedrock is formed over time when the sea water recedes, mountain folds take place, the rocks crystallize into gneisses and granite. The ancient foundation was further affected by the ice age, and land accretion continues to this day. The land of this area was formed in the past 20,000 years due to erosion of ice sheets. Since then, several unique and endangered species, including seal Saimaa and salmon, have been “isolated” in the area. Impressive stone paintings on the shores of the lake show human presence from the Stone Age. The location and features of the Geopark allow visitors to observe the patterns of ice lobe formation in Finland’s Lake District.

Thuringia Inselsberg Global Geopark – Drei Gleichen, Germany Located in Thuringia, central Germany, the Geopark covers an area of ​​about 988 km² at an altitude of 250 to 900 meters above sea level. The park’s geology records more than 150 million years of Earth’s history, from the merger of the Pangea supercontinent to the dissolution of the continent during the Late Triassic. Geopark’s distinctive fossil profile has been a subject of study for over 300 years, leading to the accumulation of great geological expertise. The fossilized reef here, among the first recognized in the 19th century, is a remnant of the formation of a small island surrounded by coral reefs in the Zechstein Sea. You can explore three of the Geopark’s hundreds of natural caves. The park’s Geo & Pleasure geo-tourism trail highlights the link between soil and local geology and traditional indigenous cuisine in the low mountains and loess regions.

Grevena Global Geopark – Kozani, Greece In the North of Greece, in the Western Macedonia region (within 40-70 km of the border of Albania and North Macedonia), this geopark covers an area of ​​2,486 km², with an altitude of 380 to 3,800 meters above water level. sea. Greece’s longest river, Aliakamon, flows through Grevana – Kozani. The park’s geology includes rock formations dating back to about a billion years ago, to date records a number of tectonic plate events, including the birth of the Tethyan Ocean and the emergence of Europe. as a separate continental block. Orliakas Mountain, a reef in the midst of an ancient African-European contiguous area, inside the Geopark. Studies of these geological features have significantly contributed to the development of popular theories about the origin of tectonic plates. The geopark also houses some of the world’s most important tornado fossils, The Land of Elephants and Mammoths with the longest known tusks in the world (over 5 m).

Global Geopark Belitong, Indonesia Belitong Geopark is located about 400 km north of Jakarta, including Belitung Island and more than 200 small islands in 13,000 km² of waters. The marine area accounts for about 2/3 of the total surface area of ​​this park. Belitong is known for its spectacular Tor granite landscape, and large rock outcrops, created by weathering and erosion. The park also features a rare meteorite tektite called Satam or Billitonite, along with unique mineral deposits such as the Nam Salu primary tin mine, the richest single tin mine in the region. Southeast Asia. Located on historic maritime trade and migration routes, Belitong is home to more than 288,000 people from diverse cultures, including the Sawang Tribes. The main sources of income are agriculture, fishing and mining. (Photo: Belitong Geopark / UNESCO) 6. Aspromonte Global Geopark, Italy Located in Calabria, southern Italy, with an altitude of nearly 2,000 meters above sea level, Aspromonte Geopark is home to more than 273,000 people. The site’s exceptional geology is the result of the evolution of geodynamics and seismics that began more than 500 million years ago and are still ongoing. This geopark is located on a peninsula along the Apennine Mountains, corresponding to a piece of the Alpine range separating Spain, northwest Italy, Sardinia and Corsica. A complex of mountains, ridges and plateaus interspersed with deep valleys created by unique natural water currents, has “sculpted” the hard rocks of the foundation, leading to metamorphism to crystallize over time. and create spectacular waterfalls. The Geopark’s unique geomorphology gives visitors a stunning 360-degree view of the Strait of Messina, Mount Etna, the Aeolian Islands, Calabrian Greek territory, Locri territory and Gioia Tauro Plains.

Majella Global Geopark, Italy Located in the Center of Apennines, the Geopark has a surface area of ​​740 km² with an altitude of 130 to 2,800 meters above sea level, along with more than 60 peaks in the Majella Mountains, half of which are over 2,000 meters high, like Mount Amaro. The geopark is made up of a series of gorges, many rivers and a number of perennial lakes that are essential to wildlife. This area is made up mainly of fossilized limestone. With ruins associated with the human presence some 600,000 years ago, the Geopark has 95 geological sites, including one of the oldest archaeological sites in Europe. Most have considerable educational and tourism value. Thanks to the special landscape of high-altitude reliefs near the sea and the heterogeneity of geomorphology, the Geopark is characterized by a variety of microclimate, ecosystems and ecological niches, which has increased the level of special and valuable biodiversity.

Public mountain geology Holy Cross, Poland Located in the southeastern part of Poland, the western part of the Świętokrzyskie mountain range, the Holy Cross Mountain Geopark is 200 to 400 meters above sea level, and is home to more than 252,000 people. The Geopark located in the Trans-European Garment Region (TESZ), a major tectonic boundary between the Variscan Western Foundation, the Pre-Cambrian Eastern Foundation and the reproductive belt of Alpine structures, is the key to Learn the geological structure of Europe. More importantly, this is the only site in the TESZ where sedimentary rocks representing the sequence of all geological periods from the Cambrian to the Quaternary are raised on the surface. The geology of the park, combined with human intervention over the centuries has resulted in a rich diversity of landscapes, flora and fauna. Traces of human activity in the Geopark date back 60,000 years, including Neanderthal camps and a beautiful cave system. Many ancient quarries are testament to the importance of mineral deposits, metal ores, limestone and other natural resources to local people over time.

Dolphins evolved from a species of terrestrial animal Dolphins evolved from a species of terrestrial animal Dolphins are mammals, closely related to whales, often living in shallow seas on the continental shelf. Dolphins have the ability to understand simple human behavioral language. With their inherent magical abilities, dolphins can understand and organize common objects into a group together. They understand both sounds and images, and even reflect images that are no different from people. Explaining this, scientists have confirmed that dolphins are the most intelligent animals in the world (while humans are only third in intelligence). Millions of years ago, the ancestors of dolphins did not swim underwater as we know them today, but were a predator that lived entirely on land. However, about 50 million years ago, a mysterious event happened that forced them to adapt to the aquatic environment, and gradually evolved into a species of mammal today. Although considered an extremely friendly animal, dolphins also have creepy behaviors, typically juggling young animals out of the sea. It sounds like a very interesting joke, but in fact, it is one of the ways the adult male is killing the young so that their mother can return to mating. Dolphins may not sleep for many weeks A recently published study has shown a surprising ability of dolphins: Can stay awake for days or weeks continuously without sleep. So how can they survive without sleep? Dolphins have a very special sleep mechanism, they can give half of their brain a rest at a certain time when the other half is awake – a process called “Unihemispheric sleep”. This special sleep mechanism not only prevents dolphins from drowning, but also allows them to stay alert to any danger and even encourage brain development. Most dolphins do not chew their food Dolphins do not chew food, or rather they cannot. A dolphin’s teeth are developed for the purpose of gripping prey. Sometimes they will shake or rub food on the ocean floor to tear them into small pieces to make them easier to swallow. One theory is that dolphins’ prey is mainly small fish, and they need to quickly grab prey in their mouth before their meal can swim away. Skip the chewing process to make sure the prey doesn’t escape. Dolphins call each other by their own names, forming friendships through common interests Researchers from the Universities of Bristol, Zurich and Western Australia have found that dolphins living in the Shark Bay area form friendships based on shared interest – in this case, a habit of using foam. sea ​​for prey. This tool-use trait is found mainly in female dolphins, but by studying the behavior of a few male dolphins that exhibit expression, the researchers have found a new discovery: Dolphin’s are formed through general tooling techniques. Dolphins have a given name and they will respond when called. Dolphins in each population possess their own “signature whistling”, as a name and other dolphins can use that particular whistle to get their partner’s attention. In fact, dolphins are also an extremely social species. This finding opens up entirely new questions about dolphins’ communication levels and “vocabulary”, and may reveal clues about our own evolution of language skills. Dolphins use their prey toxins as “addictive substances”. We know that puffer fish are highly toxic. Obviously dolphins know this too, but they use it for “high”. Usually, the puffer fish toxin is lethal. However, in small doses, it can act as an addictive substance. The BBC has recorded a video in which dolphins gently play with a puffer fish for 20 to 30 minutes, then hang around without leaving and behave “strange”. Dolphins possess great “teamwork” ability A team of researchers from the University of Bristol recently discovered that male dolphins can work and work together as a team – an attribute previously thought to be unique to humans. Observing the behavior of male dolphins when they were coordinating flirting with female pigs, the researchers found cooperation rather than competitive behavior, which is especially unusual in finding a mate in the animal kingdom.

The Chinese foreign minister participates in online exchanges with the US Foreign Relations Council. Photo: Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China. In his speech, Mr. Vuong Nghi emphasized that the important phone call on New Year’s Eve between the heads of the two countries has indicated a great direction for the Sino-US relationship, the dialogue in Anchorage (Alaska) has opened. direct high-level interaction between the two parties in the context of an epidemic. However, the new administration’s policy toward China in the US has not yet removed the shadow of its predecessor, has not escaped the misunderstanding in perception of China and has not found the right way to conclude. delivery with this country. He gave 5 points on how to view the Sino-US relationship from a strategic perspective, wanting the US to perceive objectively and to deal with China’s development; to work together with China to find a new way to peacefully coexist and win cooperation together; respect and tolerate the path and regime that China chooses; practice authentic multilateralism and stop interfering in China’s internal affairs. The Chinese Foreign Minister reaffirms that the country’s development and reassurance are “not meant to replace or defeat anyone” and that it needs equality. “Either China or the US is successful does not mean the other side fails,” he said. Separating from the world’s second largest economy and facing China’s 1.4 billion people, it not only does not help the US in resolving the conflicts faced, but also confuses the world ” . According to Mr. Vuong Nghi, the key to properly handling the relationship between the two sides is “whether the US can accept the peaceful rise of a major country with a social regime, cultural history and a period of time. develop differently or not “. China welcomes President Biden’s administration to return to multilateralism, said Wang Yi, but said that true multilateralism is “not allowed to confront the new group under the banner of multilateralism. , do not set up closed factions under the guise of multilateralism “. The Chinese Foreign Minister also reaffirmed that Beijing will “respond legally” when “national sovereignty and national dignity are threatened and violated”. He called on the two countries to go beyond the inevitable view that “conflict is bound to arise between emerging and current powers”, beyond ideological differences and social regimes, beyond thinking. Cold War and group confrontation, actively seeking ways to live peacefully and win cooperation between the two great powers./.

Variant B.117 was first spotted in London and neighboring Ken County. Photo: AP Researchers in Shanghai have traced the original evolutionary trail of variant B.117, which has caused a new wave of COVID-19 infections in several countries, according to the Morning Post. But they found no trace of it in virus samples collected from people around the world. However, when they expanded their search to animals, they discovered some of the original B.117 forms in dogs, including one taken in the US last July. Such precursor variants include most or all of the original variant B117 in the Canidae breed, and they may re-infect humans after a period of rapid mutation. ”, Professor Chen Luonan and colleagues at the National Key Cell Biology Laboratory, wrote in an article published April 16. The appearance of the B117 variant has puzzled researchers. After being isolated from two patients in Kent County, southeast England, and London in September 2020, it quickly became the dominant strain of SARS-CoV-2 in the UK and many other countries, at a rapid rate. spreads faster than previous strains. Some experts believe this variant may emerge from local communities under pressure from antiviral drugs used during the pandemic. According to a popular theory, it suddenly appeared in Britain and then spread to other parts of the world. But variant B.117 has nine distinct mutations, rarely found in previous human strains – according to Professor Chen et al. These mutations do not occur in adjacent genes, but spread across the entire genome of the virus. The likelihood of all of these mutations appearing at once is extremely low. The Shanghai team believes that the above nine mutations are produced one after the other. Their model suggests that the variant may have originated outside the UK and received mutations on a non-human host. Dogs are the most suspect, followed by weasels or cats. However, Qu Liandong, professor of virology at the Harbin Veterinary Research Institute, who was not involved in the study, said more solid evidence is needed to support this theory. According to Qu, the strains found in dogs are not quite the same as the first strains identified in British patients. And although the number of genome sequences that researchers have globally reached in the hundreds of thousands, it is still small compared to the total number of patients there. If the dog is to be a host, “we’ll have a big problem.” Photo: AP Professor Qu, who studies infectious diseases in humans and animals, said that if pets like dogs become hosts, “we will have a big problem”. “Nearly all of our measures against the pandemic so far have taken into account people only. If the animal was involved, it would completely change the ‘game’, he said. When bird flu breaks out on a chicken farm, all chickens there must be destroyed, according to standard worldwide practice. If the disease can infect humans, all susceptible animals – including healthy ones – must be disposed of in the affected area. Dogs are close companions for humans, but if they are proven capable of carrying or creating mutant variants of the Sars-CoV-2 virus, they can also be destroyed, Professor Qu said. An alternative solution is to vaccinate animals. “But we can’t give the dogs human vaccines. We may need to develop some completely new versions. We have had a hard time vaccinating humans. How can the program be extended to both dogs or other animals? ”- Professor Gu raised the problem. There is growing concern that the B.117 variant could make dogs very ill. Veterinarians near London noticed a sudden increase in pets – including dogs and cats – with myocarditis earlier this year, and many of these animals tested positive for variant B. 117 – according to a Reuters report in March 2021. Another problem is, humans and animals have different immune systems and it is often difficult for viruses to spread from one species to another. The SARS-CoV-2 virus is thought to have originated in bats, but it can take decades to adapt to humans. When and where it made the animal-to-human transition is still unclear. Professor Chen’s team said that variant B.117 has a unique evolutionary strategy of increasing infectivity, so it can spread more easily from host to host, but at the same time reducing the number of copies it makes in the host. The researchers believe that whether this strategy helps variant B.117 overcome the species gap requires further study.

The venom helps the snakes defend themselves and hunts. Explaining the venom in the snake The research was carried out by experts at the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (Japan) with the Australian National University (Australia) and published in the scientific journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS). . Research indicates a link between mammalian salivary glands and snake venom glands. Agneesh Barua, lead author of the paper and a graduate student in evolutionary genetics at the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology, Japan, said: “In the past, we had the basic foundations. to find out about this. “Now, thanks to evolution, we can dig deeper and more accurately into the relationship between mammalian salivary glands and snake venom glands.” Previously, scientists believed that the venom gland evolved from the salivary gland because the venom is composed of proteins that are transformed from saliva. The oral venom system is assumed to evolve through evolution, but how it evolved and the molecular structure in the venom system remains unknown. Research by the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology and the Australian National University are the first scientific evidence to find an answer to this fake snow. To produce toxins, snakes have evolved in the direction of converting many different substances in the body into venom. Initially, scientists suspected the gene was behind the poison formation in snake venom and a number of different species such as spiders and coolie – the only primate to have venom. However, the study did not find out what causes the venom to develop in the mouths of the animals. The research does not focus on toxins because they grow quickly, they are complex mixtures of many compounds, the Baride scientist explains. From there, the scientists decided to switch not to check the genes that produce the toxin, but to study the genes that help change the salivary system into the venom gland in the mouth. These are genes that are involved in the venom but are not responsible for the toxin production. Contact toxins in the human body Human saliva contains toxins that produce toxins. Through testing the genome of Taiwan habu snake, the researchers found the gene that supports the change, named “metavenom network”. This gene is responsible for protecting cells from the stress caused by the production of large amounts of protein. Similar genes are found in the salivary glands of some mammals such as chimpanzees, mice, even humans or terrestrial egg-laying animals such as birds and reptiles. These two genes have quite similar modes of action. Both produce large amounts of protein in saliva. With snakes, this gene helps to create large toxic saliva, suitable for their hunting and defense purposes. While in mammals such as humans, genes also make large amounts of protein in saliva but does not contain toxins. The common thing that these genes have in common is their ability to produce toxins, but snakes combine many different toxins, while mammals produce simpler venom, which has a similarity with saliva, Baride says. In fact, under certain environmental conditions, rats can make many toxic proteins in their saliva. Or in human saliva contains Kallikrein, an enzyme that helps digest proteins and they are also components in the “metavenom network”. If mutated, Kallikrein will convert saliva into venom that causes pain and death for infected objects. If so, according to evolution, in the next ten thousand years rats may have venom in their mouths, and so can humans. Mechanism of venom production However, Barua said, Kallikreins in human saliva can hardly evolve into toxins in snake venom. The “metavenom web” is a method of defense or elimination of prey and it evolves according to the animal’s way of life. The same species of snake, but living in different terrains and environments, the toxin is also different. For example, snakes live in the desert, mainly hunt rats on flat terrain, their venom slowly seeps into their prey. But snakes that live in the rocky mountains have a stronger toxin, instantly killing the lizard-like agility. Meanwhile, humans have invented tools, weapons and social structures to increase labor productivity and to process food, so there is no need to use venom. In addition, the creation of the venom is difficult. If not used regularly, the venom is lost. For example, sea snakes used to possess venom but are now harmless because they switch from eating fish to eating fish eggs, which do not require the use of toxins. New research may not raise hope for human “superpowers” but scientists have found a way for species to control venom in the body, which may be the key of medicine. . Find out how genes that control external protein expression can recognize diseases like cancer. Because most deaths from cancer are due to cancer cells growing out of control.

The change is thanks to Beau Brummell Modern suits that appeared in the late 19th century are renewed thanks to Beau Brummell, who is known for his influential style. He encouraged the elite to get rid of the colorful 19th-century frocks and wigs, and instead opted for a simpler garment. Brummell has redefined the norm for men and made the suit an outfit that honors the elegance of an aristocratic man. The trend of new clothes has attracted the attention of European gentlemen. Beau Brummell created modern suits for men in the 19th century. Photo: Voxsatoria. From the middle of the 19th century, the day robe became a typical item of men. For a more compact and suitable look, the long cape is cut off the front flap to create a shrimp tail outfit. The simplicity of the clothes with dark colors contrasts the previous lavish and sophisticated style of the aristocracy. Brummell also brings a whole new mindset when it comes to that gentlemen should be grooming and pay attention to their own style. Appears in Peaky Blinders The tomboyish world easily recognizes the 1900s signature suit through the famous TV show Peaky Blinders Tommy Shelby . The actors are all dressed in 3-piece designs made of a fairly heavy material that has a hint of workers’ uniforms. Outfits are rated handy, with coats covered in deep tones like black, navy or dark brown. Phom suit for men in the 1900s. Photo: Independent. 1920s At this time, suits were divided into two distinct types for different classes of society. Ordinary people are often seen in costumes resembling Peaky Blinders, mass-produced as workers’ uniform with a rather heavy material. The aristocracy was dressed in a suit tailor-made, made of a soft, high-class fabric with bright colors such as white, beige and overall finishing thanks to the pocket scarf accessories, a tie and shiny leather shoes reminiscent of millionaire Jay Gatsby in the movie The Great Gatsby . Millionaire Jay Gatsby is a typical image of the aristocracy in the 1920s. Photo: Independent. Minimalism in 1940s The world war changed everything, tailor-made suits were gradually replaced with pre-made clothes. Economic recession made buying expensive clothes a luxury job, only for the aristocracy. In the 1940s, men only wore suits on important occasions. Clothing manufacturers began experimenting with blends from different fabrics. Costumes of all classes in society become more equal, dark colors, fishbone patterns or fine stripes appear in men’s wardrobe. The man at that time often wore loose pants and a straight line of ironing glasses from waist down to tube. Men’s costumes in the 1940s returned to the spirit of minimalism. Photo: Independent. Mad Men Ignoring the minimalist suit of the 1940s, the 1960s appeared more fashionable in style. When the character Don Draper in Mad Men appeared on screen, creating the trend that men need to wear suits to work every day. Dress design is tailored to the right proportions of the body and is often combined with a thin tie and matching color gilet. In addition, many people also experiment with sweet pastel shades to bright houndstooth motifs. Don Draper character in the movie Mad Men. Photo: Fortune. The golden age of disco The 1970s are considered a multi-trend era because of the mix with the fashion heritage of the 1960s, influenced by the cultural flow. During this period, the trend of hippies, patterns and striking colors still dominated the village. Besides, punk, bohemian and especially disco styles became popular with young people. Actor John Travolta in the movie Sartuday Night Fever The 1970s gentleman’s suit was strongly influenced by large lapels, flared fox pants and a button-open shirt that flaunted the metallic accessories on the neck. Sparkling fabric material or details of the ruffles became a characteristic highlight on suits at that time. The simple and elegant style goes back to the 1980s outfit featuring three-button pants and suit jackets. However, this costume also received a lot of controversy when it changed to oversized phom, revealing the shortcomings of the male’s physique. Today, these designs are gradually streamlined, premium tailoring and focus on standard cuts in accordance with the wearer’s body proportions. Men’s clothing in the 1970s was influenced by disco culture. Photo: Esquire.

Chinese paleontologists have found ancient insects, snakes, ancient birds and even dinosaur tails in fossil Burmese amber. Thanks to the special preservative properties of amber, these fossils have retained their original shape after 100 million years. One of the dinosaur feathers discovered in the amber piece was damaged by chewing and the markings are similar to the feathers of modern birds with parasitic lice. Feather is one of the types of “special impurities” preserved in Burmese amber, including neck feathers and insect feathers. Not long ago, two pieces of feathered amber from Myanmar attracted paleontologists because through microscopic observations, the researchers noticed some ancient bugs in the feathers. Although these bugs are small and hard to see, paleontologists have found that they have unique and striking habits. The newly discovered insect is named Mesophthirus engeli, revealing the early makeup of the lice ancestor. Mesophthirus engeli has no wings and a body similar to a lice. The team found that they chewed very vigorously through the marks of a dinosaur’s fur. A team of researchers from the Capital Education University of China, the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the Capital Medical Science University, the National Museum of Natural History, and the Russian Academy of Sciences studied the studies. Small insects preserved in amber and discovered this particular beetle. Archaeologists have named this tiny insect Mesophthirus engeli with the genus “Mesophthirus” from the Greek word and the name “engeli” is dedicated to Michael S. Engel, a famous paleontologist. Americans, in recognition of his outstanding contributions to the study of ancient insects. The earliest appearing fur-eating insect was thought to be Megamenopon rasnitsyni. The lice fossils were unearthed in Germany 44 million years ago, according to Chungkun Shih, study author at the Smithsonian Institution’s Museum of Natural History. Researchers also found evidence of Jurassic and Cretaceous parasitic parasites 66 to 201 million years ago. This ancient bug was very small with a length of less than 0.2 mm, so researchers had to use an electron microscope to see its shape. Mesophthirus engeli looks very much like today’s lice, but it has a larger head with black dot-like eyes on the sides and two tentacles with three long spines on top of the head. Mesophthirus engeli can be said to possess a body “three rings as one”, with the head, chest and abdomen equally wide, six feet short, with claws and long spines at the end, can be grasped. This finding suggests that the insect’s feathering behavior has originated at least in the mid Cretaceous period. Although it looks like a lice, the Mesophthirus engeli species is far different from modern lice and lice. Hence, paleontologists established a new ancient taxon of insects – Mesophagous caterpillars. Compared with the body, the mouth of Mesophthirus engeli is very large and strong, two large jaws are serrated, capable of chewing very strongly. In addition, the researchers also found that in the amber pieces containing these ancient bugs all had the presence of feathers and they all existed signs of damage: broken niches formed near the body. feathers and feathers are also broken. The marks of damaged feathers resemble those left by a feather-eating bug after chewing on the feathers. And obviously, the culprit of these traces was none other than the Mesophthirus engeli species. The origin and early evolution of the hairy trait in insects is inherently ambiguous due to the lack of records of Mesozoic fossils – the period of tectonic, climatic and progressive activities. chemical. Blood-sucking insects were found during the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods, but dinosaur fur-eating insects have not been previously reported. The discovery of this ancient feather-eating beetle is of great significance, because it has pushed the history of feather-eating insects to 55 million years, because before the discovery of this beetle, the earliest feather-eating insect. is known to mankind in the Kainozoic era 44 million years ago. Thus, the discovery of Mesophthirus engeli filled the gap in the early evolution of a feather-eating insect. Mesophthirus engeli lived in the Cretaceous period 100 million years ago, this is also an important period of diversity and differentiation of primitive birds and feathered dinosaurs, it can be said that this is also the setting stage. parasitic relationship between feathering insects and their host.

The Amazon forest was cut down in Brazil. Documentary photo: AFP / VNA According to a report based on satellite data by the Global Forest Monitoring Organization, Brazil was the most severely damaged, the area of ​​destroyed forest in the country was 3 times higher than that of the second ranked country, the DRC. . In 2020, up to 4.2 million hectares of primary forest in the tropics will be destroyed, 12% higher than the previous year. Altogether in 2020, the tropical regions will lose 12.2 million hectares of greenery, including forests and tree plantations, mainly due to agricultural activities. Researchers also pointed out that extreme heat and drought have also caused wildfires, burning vast forests in Australia, Siberia and deep in the Amazon region. The author of the report, Ms. Frances Seymour of the World Resources Institute said that these losses reflect a state of emergency in climate. This is not only an ecosystem crisis, but also a humanitarian disaster, loss of economic potential. The study has provided some evidence that the restrictions imposed by countries to prevent the COVID-19 epidemic are also impacting this trend worldwide, as it increases the rate of illegal exploitation due to the forests are no longer protected, or more people have returned to the countryside. The researchers warn that the worst consequences will happen if countries stop protecting forests for economic purposes. However, according to Ms Seymour, the “worst sign” of last year was that forests became victims of climate change, according to which wetlands are still burning. According to research, trees and soils absorb up to 30% more carbon produced by human pollution each year, so the rapid disappearance of tropical forests will result. Uncompensable damage to the Earth’s ecosystem. The researchers emphasize that destroying tropical primeval forests in 2020 will emit 2.64 tons of CO2, the equivalent of India’s annual emissions, or 570 million cars, or twice as much. the emissions of all vehicles circulating in the US. Ms. Seymour warned that the more the world is delaying preventing deforestation, or slowly pushing towards the goal of neutralizing emissions, the more likely it is that natural forests that absorb CO2 on Earth will disappear completely. In Brazil, the government has cut budgets for environmental programs, leaving many Amazon lands to be exploited for resources and agribusiness, resulting in 1.7 million hectares of primary forest being destroyed in 2020. , up 25% from 2019. Meanwhile, the Pantanal tropical wetlands, the paradise of ecosystems stretching from Brazil to Bolivia, also suffered many fires. Bolivia is the country with the third highest deforestation rate in the world in 2020. Indonesia is a bright spot when reducing deforestation rate by 17% compared to 2019 and for the first time in 20 years, it escapes the group of three countries with the highest deforestation rate in the world. Deforestation rate in Indonesia has decreased for 4 consecutive years. Last year wet weather, combined with government policies, had had a long-term positive impact on the destruction of primary forests, researchers say. Forests cover more than 30% of the Earth’s area, while tropical forests are home to 50-90% of all terrestrial creatures. Earlier this week, research published in the journal Nature Ecology & Evolution estimated that growing commodity demand in rich countries is accelerating deforestation in tropical regions. Recent studies have warned that to a certain point, deforestation in the Amazon threatens to change the climate of the entire region, turning tropical forests into savannas.

The new variants were first spotted in countries like Brazil, South Africa and the UK that spontaneously appeared in the last few months of 2020. The main concern was a change in the mutant protein structure of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, known as E484K, in all three variants in the three countries, the researchers said. The E484K mutation is thought to impair the body’s immune response to the virus. Some scientists expressed concern that the E484K mutation could “elude” the natural immunity from SARS-CoV-2 infection and decrease the protection of existing Covid-19 vaccines. Artwork: Getty Images According to scientists interviewed by Reuters, the appearance of virus variants in different regions of the world shows that the SARS-CoV-2 virus is undergoing “convergent evolution”. Although SARS-CoV-2 will continue to mutate, they suspect the virus will have only a certain number of variants, immunologists and virologists say. However, it is still important to consider whether or not to limit the number of variants that make the SARS-CoV-2 virus less dangerous. “It can be said that the SARS-CoV-2 virus has a relatively limited number of variants that avoid antibodies before releasing the strongest ‘card’,” said Shane Crotty, virologist at La Institute of Immunology. Jolla in San Diego (USA) said. This could allow drug manufacturers to control disease while they develop the booster Covid-19 vaccine to suppress the current variant. Meanwhile, governments around the world are still struggling to control the pandemic that has killed nearly 3 million people globally. The opinion that the SARS-CoV-2 virus has only a certain amount of mutation has been the subject of discussion among experts since the beginning of February. According to a study, scientists have discovered seven variations of SARS. -CoV-2 appears in the US, has the same mutation. The convergent evolutionary process of SARS-CoV-2 According to Reuters, the process by which different species evolve similar traits to improve survival is central to evolutionary biology. The wide spread of the Covid-19 pandemic, with more than 128 million infections worldwide, allows scientists to observe the viral evolution in practice. “If you want to write a book about the evolution of viruses, you can do it now,” said Dr. Francis Collins, director of the US National Institutes of Health in an interview. Scientists saw the virus evolve on a smaller scale in 2018 when the H7N9 avian flu virus in China began adapting to a human host. However, there has never been a globally controlled virus such as SARS-CoV-2. Wendy Barclay, a virologist and professor at Imperial College London (UK), said she was amazed at the “staggering amount of convergent evolution” of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. “There are dangerous mutations like E484K, N501Y and K417N that all three variants in Brazil, South Africa and UK are carrying,” Ms. Barclay said. SARS-CoV-2 is not a “particularly smart” virus, the scientists said. Each time it infects people, SARS-CoV-2 makes copies of itself, and for each copy, it can make a mistake. While some of the mistakes are insignificant, the ones that give this virus an existential advantage tend to be long-lasting. “If this is repeated, it will provide some developmental advantages for the SARS-CoV-2 virus,” said Francis Collins. Some experts believe that the virus has a limited number of mutations that can be sustained before affecting its ability to function. Besides, too many mutations will cause the virus to no longer exist in the original version. “If the SARS-CoV-2 virus had an infinite number of ‘tricks,’ we would see a multitude of mutations,” said Michel Nussenzweig, an immunologist at Rockefeller University in New York. Cautious optimism However, the scientists remain cautious and say, predicting how much SARS-CoV-2 will mutate is a challenge. If there is a limit to how this virus can evolve, that would be simpler for the vaccine developers. The Novavax company is making adjustments to the vaccine to prevent variation in South Africa. However, trials have shown that the efficacy of the vaccine against the variant in South Africa is quite low. “The virus can mutate a lot and it still binds to a human host,” Novavax CEO Stan Erck said and hopes the vaccine will be effective for most of the current strains. According to Mr. Stan Erck, Novavax will continue to test vaccines for new strains of strains. Scientists have recently identified seven variants of SARS-Cov-2 in the US, with all mutations occurring in the same key location of the virus. This provides additional evidence of viral convergence evolution. Other research groups are working on exposing the virus to antibodies to force it to mutate. In many cases, the E484K mutation has appeared in the experiment. According to Reuters, the above evidence adds to the cautious optimism that the mutants appear to have many similar characteristics. However, experts say the world must continue to monitor for changes in the SARS-CoV-2 virus and eliminate its ability to mutate by reducing infection through vaccination and restrictive measures. the spread of the disease. “SARS-CoV-2 is still going very strong. We don’t know when the battle against the pandemic will end, ”said Vaughn Cooper, an expert in evolutionary biology at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine (USA).

Misconceptions about nutrition of parents will significantly affect the development of children. Illustration

The story shared by a Chinese couple on social networks recently made many mothers and fathers startled by misconceptions in how to care and nurture their children.

Vuong himself is 1.78m tall, his wife is 1.64m and his son Dao Dao is 12 years old this year, but he is 1.65m tall. The boy is nearly a head taller than most of his classmates, and it can be said that Dao Dao is the tallest person in the class. Mr. Vuong is very happy, feeling that his son will definitely be taller than 1.8m.

Being very interested in the development of his child, Mr. Wang took Dao Dao to the hospital to check the health, as well as the growth of the body or the age of the bones to see how much taller his son could be.

Amazingly, the doctor told Mr. Wang that the child’s cartilage gland was ready to stop growing and once it stopped growing, it would be difficult to grow taller in the future. In other words, although she has not yet begun to enter puberty – the stage of rapid growth in height, Dao Dao cannot grow taller. As a son, only 1.65m is a bit short indeed.

Mr. Wang told the doctor that they often pay close attention to the child’s nutrition and often feed him with bone broth every day. Starting from kindergarten, Dao Dao eats bone broth 2-3 times / week.

“Can not bone broth be fortified with calcium?”, Mr. Vuong wondered.

The doctor told Dao Dao’s father: “The bone broth contains very little calcium but the fat content is high. If you feed your child this type of fat-rich food regularly, it will easily cause fat accumulation in the child’s body. Too much fat will affect the baby’s growth hormone secretion, leading to early puberty, accelerating bone age, not beneficial for the child’s development.

Foods that affect the child’s height development, no matter how much they like it, should be limited.

Stewed bone broth

The bones are high in calcium but the broth is only high in fat. Illustration

Calcium content in bone is high, but calcium content in bone broth is very low, no matter how long it is simmered, calcium will almost remain in the bones and calcium content in broth will be very small. Conversely, after the bones are simmered for a long time, the main ingredient in the broth will be the bone marrow, which contains a lot of fat.

Therefore, children who use a lot of bone broth will increase the risk of obesity. Obesity is the enemy of children’s development, when children are obese, the aromatase content in adipose tissue will increase, leading to increased estrogen, increasing the age of the child’s bones and affecting the child’s development.

Soft drink

Children often enjoy drinking a variety of soft drinks. Although the taste is very popular with children, these drinks are not good for children’s height.

Carbonated soft drinks like Cola contain a lot of phosphorus but too much phosphorus will promote calcium loss, leading to calcium deficiency in children, affecting the growth and development of bones.

To make the taste even better, these drinks add a lot of sugar. White sugar is a high calorie food that can only provide calories for children, not vitamins, minerals, and protein … Therefore, children who drink these beverages can only gain weight easily without benefits. for height growth.

Cake

The ice cream used in bakery shops is usually vegetable ice cream, containing a large amount of trans fatty acids, which is not good for the child’s body. It only increases the amount of fat in the child’s body, makes the child obese and affects the height.

Fast food

Ingredients used in fast food are not guaranteed but add more spices like MSG. MSG will interfere with the absorption of zinc in the body, zinc deficient children will also affect height development and anorexia.

In addition, fast foods have a lot of salt, if they eat too much salt, they will eliminate excess sodium, when they excrete sodium, they will also excrete calcium, leading to calcium deficiency in the body and affecting child’s development.

Foods to help children develop height

Fish

Fish is one of the foods that help children develop the best height. Illustration

One of the best foods for height growth is fish. Salmon and tuna are two types of fish that are rich in vitamin D and protein. Children who use a lot of tuna will help increase height.

In addition, you should encourage your baby to spend a lot of time outdoors so that vitamin D in the sun can help absorb calcium well, so that the child can reach the ideal height.

Fresh fruits and vegetables

Consuming a lot of fresh fruits and vegetables is also very important for a child’s development. Fruits such as papaya, carrots, broccoli, spinach are foods rich in fiber, potassium, folate, especially vitamin A, which will help in the development of bones and tissues for children.

In addition, vitamin C in citrus fruits also aids in increasing height for children and also helps them to be healthier.

Milk

Milk is a calcium-rich drink that promotes development, while helping your baby’s bones become strong. Besides, vitamin A in milk helps the child’s body absorb calcium better. Besides, milk is also a very good source of protein, which helps in the growth of cells in the body.

Cereals

Grains are not only a great source of energy, but also a good source of fiber, vitamins, iron, magnesium and selenium. In addition, cereals are also very high in calories, play an important role in the development of children. Typically brown rice, pasta and whole wheat are foods that help children grow taller.

Soy bean

Soybeans are the most protein-rich foods in foods that help children develop a plant-derived height, which greatly aids in the child’s bone development.

Soy milk also contains more fiber, copper, iron, niacin and more phytonutrients than cow’s milk. This is very necessary for brain development, stabilizing the digestive tract for the child.

Snyder left his mark as a coincidental director also a work of zombie disaster. A remake of Dawn of the Dead and Zack really breathes new life into George A. Romero’s original epic. Since then, fans have been waiting for the director’s comeback, and it was not until May 2021 that everything came true. Army of the Dead will act as the spiritual successor to Dawn of The Dead, not a simple post-story.

As can be seen, from the new trailer, the zombies of Snyder have evolved in an amazing way. They are faster, smarter and more organized than the usual concept of a zombie.

While the upgraded zombies aren’t groundbreaking if you follow The Walking Dead, however, the twist at the end of the trailer has revealed that the zombie virus can even affect both animals and us. there was a “Tiger-zombie” growling in amazement from the survivors.

With Army of the Dead going to own a prequel movie, titled Army of Thieves, even if many characters will perish, fans still have peace of mind when their favorite role is likely. come back. Netflix seems quite confident in Snyder’s vision, with a rush to green light the prequel project when the movie is not hot.

Earth has been 4 billion years old since its birth in the universe. In the long history of the Earth, the stars, planets, satellites, asteroids in the universe along with the Earth have all had a fixed or uncertain mode of action. The formation of the Solar System, the Moon, asteroids crashing into the Earth, comets … prove that claim.

As the development of human civilization took shape on Earth, we began to explore the mysteries of the universe and our own planet.

Humans have discovered countless impact craters on Earth formed by the “falling stars” that once crashed into the Earth. These “falling stars” are then referred to as “meteorites / asteroids”, and the traces they leave on Earth are known as “meteorite craters” or impact craters.

It can be said that the crater is a symbol and evidence of the intersection of cosmic objects and the Earth. Not only that, some scientists who support the “exogenous” theory even believe that the water and energy necessary for life on Earth today are due to the impact of meteorites and comets.

Although this is not supported by strong evidence, the craters are still very valuable to scientists studying celestial celestial bodies. It is of great significance for the study of the formation and evolution of the Earth, the change in climate, the environment and animals in ancient times, the role of biological processes and mineralization.

Today, many meteorite holes have been discovered, through studying them, people have discovered many unknown secrets from ancient times as well as unique minerals created when Huge asteroid collided with the Earth.

THE LARGEST THIEN THIEN THE PLANET

According to the report of the Earth Impact Database released in 2016, worldwide there are about 190 impact craters detected so far. And the planet’s largest, oldest and most severely eroded asteroid crater is Vredefort Crater in South Africa.

The Vredefort asteroid crater is a crater that has existed on Earth for 2 billion years – it is the result of a meteor’s shock impact with the Earth at speeds right between 40,000 and 250,000 km / h. The diameter of the Vredefort Crater exceeds 300 km, making it the largest and oldest meteorite crater in the world (second after the Yarrabubba crater in Australia (2,229 billion years old), NASA updates for 2020.

The Vredefort meteorite hole in South Africa.

This huge meteorite hole is located in the Free State province, South Africa. Because the crater is so large, local people do not realize it is the “legacy” from the “meeting” of the Earth and meteorites. However, its enormous size has attracted scientists and geologists from all over the world.

In 2005, the United Nations decided to include the Vredefort impact pit on the list of World Heritage Sites in need of protection.

LOOK AT THE PAST – FORWARD TO THE FUTURE

Talking about the crater / meteorite hole, many people do not know the Chicxulub (Yucatán peninsula in Mexico), 150 km in diameter, occurred about 65 million years ago.

Many scientists believe that perhaps the extinction of a generation of dinosaurs on Earth at that time was related to the climate change due to the impact of this meteorite.

Likewise, as the world’s largest crater, the formation of the Vredefort Crater should have had a serious impact on Earth’s climate and biological evolution. We just haven’t figured out exactly what it has affected and how it affects it.

Before that, the United Nations formed a scientific research group, based in South Africa, and conducted scientific research in the Vredefort crater for seven years. In the end it was asserted that the meteorite’s destructive power plunged into Vredefort enough to change the climate and the structure of the African plate. Scientists are continuing to study the long-term effects from Vredefort’s earlier.

What is different from Vredefort’s other meteorite craters in the world is that it has grown from what should have been abandoned into a city complete with hundreds of thousands of inhabitants, and generations of people have been in This huge crater is like a peaceful paradise.

Scientists said, meteorites that plunged into the Earth may leave large “scars” for Earth on the bottom of the deep sea. Because the asteroid craters we’ve found so far are all above ground.

Due to the very large and deep seabed area, scientists currently do not have enough technology to conduct detailed investigations. Therefore, the impact crater on the sea floor remains an unsolved mystery in the scientific world. If you want to research, you must go through a long process of discovery by scientists, and this will also be the direction that scientists need to strive for in the future.
