Speaking at a regular press conference on the afternoon of June 15, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian affirmed that the comprehensive strategic cooperative partnership between China and Russia in the new era is the relationship between China and Russia. comprehensive, regardless of any changes. Cooperation between the two parties has no limits. He also stressed that any attempt to sabotage Sino-Russian relations would be doomed to failure. Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian. (Photo: Reuters) The Chinese side’s statement came after Russian President Putin’s speech to the US media, affirming satisfaction at Russia-China relations “reaching an unprecedented height”, as well as appreciation for the fact that the two sides have reached an unprecedented height. The party maintains a high level of trust and cooperation in the fields of politics, economics, science and technology, military technology, etc., while recognizing that the Russia-US relationship is currently at a low level. the most in many years. In the words of a Chinese foreign ministry spokesman, Beijing and Moscow are “really united as mountains, the friendship is unbreakable”. The two countries have overcome the challenge of unexpected changes in the international situation and established a model model of a new type of relationship between great powers. Mr. Trieu Lap Kien said that in just 1 month, the two countries will celebrate the 20th anniversary of the signing of the “Treaty of friendship and cooperation between China and Russia”. This is an event of special significance in the relations between the two countries and will promote Sino-Russian cooperation on a higher starting point, broader scope and deeper level. He emphasized: “Real gold is not afraid of fire, we also advise those who are looking for ways to divide China-Russia relations that any attempt to destroy Sino-Russian relations will not be realized. . Hopefully these people won’t go too far down the road of zero-sum games and group political confrontation.” Immediately before these statements of the Chinese side, the G7 and NATO Summit simultaneously issued statements criticizing China and for the first time naming Beijing as a security threat and a serious challenge. system. Recently, Russian Ambassador to China Andrey Denisov, when responding to Chinese media, once affirmed that “it will not happen” that Russia separates from China and approaches the US when the Biden administration applies the strategy ” somewhat soften relations with Russia” to focus on dealing with China, according to him, “this view is too short-sighted”.

Fatima and one of his inventions. Building robots when you are 10 years old It all started when Fatima was 10 years old and created the first robot capable of taking pictures. She then quickly developed 12 other inventions, including solar charging bags for devices, robots that can replace sick students to school, power belts for the hearing impaired and intelligent steering systems. Block people from texting while driving. Now Fatima turns 18 and is a student in computer engineering at Virginia Polytechnic (USA). She has become an inspiration, paving the way for other women and girls to pursue innovation and STEM (science, technology, engineering and math). From a young age, Fatima was passionate about science and invention. She enjoys watching science fiction, documentary and technology shows. In addition, her parents have a technical background, which contributes to her passion for science and invention. “I was influenced a lot by the shows I watched, mainly about science. However, my living environment also has a lot of impact, including that my parents are engineers … all contributed to my hobby and personality, “said Fatima. The family plays a very supportive role for Fatima. At home, her parents help her and teach how to do small projects. Over time, Fatima became proficient with the skills and was able to enter the industry with the guidance and help of her parents. Overcoming challenges At the age of 7, Fatima is excited to learn about new industries and build exciting projects. However, over time, Fatima realized that it was very difficult to stay in the industry as a young girl. “There aren’t many opportunities and when I try to take the opportunities, people don’t take me seriously or think it’s just a temporary period and think I’ll find another job that is gender-appropriate. to me, ”Fatima said. However, over the years, Fatima said it is very happy to see the change in the gender gap that women have always suffered. “Today, there are a lot of resources that young children, especially girls, can use to educate themselves and build their own skill sets. In addition, the society is more advanced than the ideology of sexism and more open to women and girls in the field of technology, “Fatima said. The UAE’s youngest Inventor title reinforces Fatima’s progress. “It opened many doors for me and allowed me to grow as an inventor, helping me gain some validation in places where I was deemed unsuitable, even if it came with very much. many responsibilities. I am very honored to carry that title. Getting support and recognition from the government is one of the highlights of my journey ”. Fatima received the UAE Youngest Inventor Award. Inspire the younger generation Fatima is not the first female scientist and not the last to talk about it. The UAE government has made a great effort to encourage women in the field of science and technology. A 2018 Times Higher Education report states that more female students enroll in STEM than men in the UAE. The reason is attributed to the fact that the government empowers women through policies, the opportunity to ensure that female role models are included in science textbooks. Fatima said she is looking forward to the time when the title will be awarded to another ambitious inventor. For young inventors, she was determined to do all she could. She praised the companies that initiated CSR (corporate social responsibility) activities in providing young students a platform to explore more opportunities in the STEM industry. So when air-conditioning solutions provider Taqeef launched a 2020 version of the STEM iMatter curriculum, Fatima knew this was what she needed to be involved with. Designed to help students put theory into practice and familiarize themselves with the role of STEM in their future work, iMatter assigns students to find solutions to real-world climate problems. “The show has some of the brightest young brains with great ideas,” says Fatima. I took the opportunity to become a speaker at their event. I was delighted to hear that they enjoyed my speech and learned something from it. I was even happy to receive some feedback videos sharing participants’ experiences, insights and gratitude ”. Fatima said that programs like iMatter have created conditions for more students to experience STEM learning. If governments, business and society join hands to develop STEM education and embrace more opportunities, a huge difference will inevitably emerge and more scientists, innovators and entrepreneurs. next time. In addition to her studies, Fatima said, she is focusing on patenting some of her new ideas. “I hope to get masters and PhD degrees in artificial intelligence (AI). I aim to set up my own AI company in the future and become a professor in this field ”. Fatima affirms that the invention idea is very simple and anyone can do it every day in their life. What she sees as important right now is to foster gender segregation, engage girls and women in STEM, and provide them with an environment for growth.

Participants in the “Deep Time” study emerged from the Lombrives Cave after 40 days underground. Photo: AP. After 40 days of voluntary isolation, on April 24, a group of volunteers consisting of 15 people participating in a scientific experiment called Deep Time came out of the vast Lombrives cave in southwestern France. They consisted of eight men and seven women living in the deep, dark and wet caves to help researchers understand how humans adapt to drastic changes in conditions and habitats. They have no watches, no sunlight, and have no contact with the outside world. With bright smiles on their pale faces, 15 volunteers left the Lombrives cave in cheering applause. They must wear special glasses to protect their eyes after long periods of time in the dark. When returning to the ground, all the volunteers wore special glasses to avoid shock to the light. Photo: AP. Marina Lancon, 33, one of seven female members in the test, said: “This is like being pressed on an emergency pause button.” Ms. Marina still wanted to be able to stay in the cave for a few more days, but she also said she was happy to see the wind blowing in her face again and to hear birds singing in the trees in the French Pyréneés. And she said, in a few days she has no plans to reopen her smartphone to hope to avoid a “too brutal” return to real life. The group of volunteers began to return from the ground. Photo: AP. For 40 days and nights, the team lived and explored the caves as part of the Deep Time project. There is no sunlight inside, the temperature is 10 degrees C and the relative humidity is 100 percent. The cave dwellers had no contact with the outside world, had no pandemic updates, nor any contact information with friends or family. Scientists at the Human Adaptation Institute leading the 1.2 million euros ($ 1.5 million) “Deep Time” project, said this experiment will help them better understand how people adapt to drastic changes in conditions and habitats. Because they don’t have a clock, team members keep an eye on their circadian clock to know when to wake up, go to bed, and eat. They count their days not by hours, but by their sleep cycle. Therefore, Project Director, Mr. Christian Clot was surprised that the time in the cave was over: “We think it’s only been 30 days.” The estimate of one team member is only 23 days. Members participating in the Deep Time project study speak during the press conference after returning from the Lombrives Cave after 40 days underground. Photo: AP. Working with laboratories in France and Switzerland, the scientists tracked the 15 members’ sleep patterns, social interactions, and behavioral responses via sensors. This sensor is designed as a small thermometer inside a capsule that participants swallow like a pill. It measures body temperature and transmits data to a computer until it is naturally cleared out. On April 23, the scientists told the study subjects they would be out soon. After the 40-day challenge, 2/3 of the group still wished to stay in the cave for a little more time. Photo: AP. On April 24, when they were released from the cave, although the participants looked tired, two-thirds of the participants expressed a wish to stay underground a little longer to complete group projects. At the beginning of the expedition, said Benoit Mauvieux, a biologist involved in the study. “Our future as humans on this planet will flourish,” said Clot after exiting the cave. “We have to learn to better understand how our brains are able to find new solutions, in any situation.”
