Lune fait sa rentrée by Zuzana Zelenakova

L'agence spatiale américaine NASA avait projeté le retour à la Lune pour relativement longtemps. L'année prévue pour la mission devrait être 2020, c'est en partie en raison des missions planifiées vers d'autres déstination de notre système solaire comme l'a dit le porte-parole de NASA, Lynette Madison. « Ce qui nous envisageons c'est… la présence des États-unis constante sur la Lune… d'être capable de vivre hors de la Terre, d'obtenir l'oxygène pour les régulateurs lunaires, « a dit John Olson, un directeur du Bureau de la sûreté et de l'assurance des missions de NASA.
! 71; Nous l'explorerons pour voir s'il y a de l'eau, de la glace aux pôles. Nous pouvons employer la lumière solaire pour actionner nos systèmes. « La lune est censée de devenir la base pour des voyages à d'autres parties de notre système solaire. Le programme, au début mis de côté comme trop cher, a obtenu une réaction positive mardi au Capitol Hill. Cependant, il y aura besoin du financement de $3 milliards par an. Le plan a été décrit comme « fatalement défectueux » par Norman Augustine, chef du comité des experts désignés par l'administration d'Obama qui ont recu des ressources financières courantes disponibles. Mais beaucoup de membres du Congrès, des deux parties, et même une épouse d'un astronaute ont aspiré pour le plan. « Je ne vois pas la logique dans la démolation de ce que la nation avait supporté pendant des années et &! #224; ce qu'elle avait dépensé des milliards de doll! ars pour le développer, » a dit le président du Sous-comité de la Maison spatiale Gabrielle Giffords, l'épouse d'astronaute, Mark Kelly. Selon les rapports de l'agence spatiale, les États ont déjà investi environ $8 milliards dans le programme et il les faut encore à dépenser au moins $100 milliards d'ici à 2020. Le projet de la rentrée à la Lune proposé par ex-président, George W. Bush, implique de construire deux nouvelles fusées. Le plus petit appelé, Ares I, qui transportera des gens et l'autre plus grand appelé, Ares V, pour l'équipement. Cependant, selon la commission menée par Augustine la construction de la plus petite fusée n'est pas nécessaire parce qu'Ares V pourrait transporter des gens et de l'équipement. Maintenant la décision est aux mains de l'administration d'Obama après quon évalue le rapport de commission.

Letaloto Diskaveri se spušti vo Kalifornija by Magdalena Rosova

Vselenskoto letalo Diskaveri rečisi ke se spoeše so del od gjubreto vo orbitata, minatiot četvrtok. Vo toj moment, astronautite vo letaloto se podgotvuvaa da sletaat vo Florida. Rik Starkou, komandant na letalotot, zaedno so pilotot Kevin Ford gi zapalija motorite na letaloto za 14 sekundi za da go izbegnat vselenskoto gjubre. Vselenskoto gjubre ne go zagrozi planot na NASA, letaloto da sleta vo Vselenskiot centar Kenedi vo Florida. Kako i da e, lošite vremenski uslovi blizu centarot go isforsiraa letaloto da sleta vo kaliforniskata pustina eden den podocna. Letaloto se spušti vo 8:53 vozduhoplovnata baza Edvards vo pustinata Mohave. Kontrolori na ! letanjeto sakaa Diskaveri da sleta vo Vselenskiot centar Kenedi zašto e poevtino i sega ke treba edna nedela pred letaloto da bide gotovo za narednata misija. Spored NASA ke trebaat okolu 1.7 milioni dolari za da se dovede letaloto nazad vo centarot. Celta na 13-dnevnata misija do megjunarodnata vselenska stanica beše da se napravat popravki i da se odnesat zalihi, naučni opremi i mehanizmite narečeni Stiven Kolbert, imenuvani spored televiziskiot komičar. Ekipažot što se sostoeše od 7 astronauti izvede tri prošetki vo vselenata i zameni eden člen na posadata na stanicata. Astronautot Tim Kopra pomina rečisi dva meseca vo vselenskata stanica i sega beše zamenet od kolegata Nikol Stot. Diskaveri isto taka zede i igračka od Dizni od Baz Lajtiar, so što ja završi negovata vselenska misija. Baz dojde vo stanicata vo maj 2008 godina kako del od obrazovna kampanja. Po negovoto vrakanje, se planira toj da b! ide dobredojden kako heroj vo Svetot na Volt Dizni vo Florida.! Postoja t ušte šest vselenski misii na rasporedot na NASA.

Raketoplán Discovery pristál v Kalifornii by Magdalena Rosova

Vesmírny raketoplán Discovery sa minulý štvrtok takmer zrazil s kusom vermírneho odpadu. Práve v tej chvíli sa astronauti pripravovali na pristátie na Floride. Rick Sturckow, kapitán raketoplánu, spolu s pilotom Kevinom Fordom, vypli na 14 sekúnd motory, aby sa vyhli zrážke s odpadom. Vesmírny odpad bezprostredne neohrozil pôvodný plán pristátia na Kennedyho vesmírnom stredisku na Floride. Avšak, kvôli zlým poveternostným podmienkam blízko centra bol raketoplán nútený pristáť v kalifornskej púšti jeden deň nesk&#! 244;r. Raketoplán pristál o 8:53 na leteckej základni Edwards Air Force Base v Mohavskej púšti. Leteckí dispečeri chceli aby Discovery pristál v Kennedyho vesmírnom stredisku pretože je to menej nákladné. Teraz bude trvať minimálne týždeň, kým sa im podarí raketoplán pripraviť na ďalšiu misiu. Podľa NASA bude prevoz raketoplánu späť do vesmírneho strediska stáť približne 1,7 miliónov dolárov. Misia na medzinárodnú vesmírnu stanicu, ktorá trvala spolu 13 dní, mala za úlohu vykonať potrebné opravy na stanici a dodať zásoby a mlyn s názvom Stephen Colbert, pomenovaný podľa televízneho zabávača. Posádka pozostávajúca zo siedmych astronautov trikrát opustila vesmírnu loď a vymenila jedného člena! posádky vesmírnej stanice. Astronaut Tim Kopra str&! #225;vil na stanici takmer dva mesiace a teraz ho vymenil astronautka Niclole Stottová. Dicovery zo stanice odniesol i Disney postavičku Buzza Ligtyeara, ktorý tak ukončil svoju vesmírnu misiu, ktorá trvala 15 mesiacov. Buzz prišiel na stanicu v máji 2008 ako súčasť vzdelávacej kampane. Po svojom návrate bude privítaný ako hrdina v disneyworlde v Kalifornii. Podľa harmonogramu raketoplán Discovery čaká ešte šesť vesmírnych misií. Na viacej misií by NASA potrebovala ďalšie dotácie od štátu.

The shuttle Discovery landed in California by Magdalena Rosova

The space shuttle Discovery almost collided with a piece of orbital trash last Thursday. At that moment astronauts inside the shuttle were preparing for a landing in Florida. Rick Sturckow, a commander of the shuttle, together with pilot Kevin Ford fired engines of the shuttle for 14 seconds to dodge the space junk. The space trash did not endangered NASA's plan to land the shuttle at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. However, it was the bad weather condition near the center that forced it to touch down in Californian desert one day later. The shuttle landed at 8:53 at Edwards Air Force base in the Mojave Desert. Flight controllers wanted the Discovery to land at K! ennedy Space Center because it is less expensive and now it will take a week before the shuttle can be ready for next mission. According to NASA, it will costs about $1.7 million dollars to bring the shuttle back to the center. Aim of the 13-day mission to the international space station was to make repairs and deliver supplies, science gear and treadmill called Stephen Colbert, named after TV comedian. The crew consisting of 7 astronauts performed three spacewalks and replaced one member of the station's crew. Astronaut Tim Kopra spent almost two months in the space station and now was replaced by astronaut Nicole Stott. The Discovery also took a Disney toy of Buzz Lightyear, which ended his own 15-month space mission. Buzz came to the station in May 2008 as a part of an educational campaign. After his return he is planned to be welcomed as a hero at Walt Disney World in Florida. There are six more space missions remaining on the NASA schedule.

Nazad na mesečinata by Zuzana Zelenakova

Amerikanskata vselenska agencija NASA go planira vrakanjeto na mesečinata vekje nekoe vreme. Godinata što e izbrana za da se realizira misijata bi trebalo da bide 2010-ta, toa e delumno poradi planiranite misii na drugi delovi od našiot solaren sistem, kako što tvrdi portparolot na NASA, Linet Medison. "Toa što go posakuvame...e da imame održlivo amerikansko prisustvo na mesečinata...da bideme vo možnost da živeeme nadvor od zemjata, da zememe kislorod za regulatorite na mesečinata,", reče Dzon Olson, menadzer vo Kancelarijata za sigurnost i osiguruvanje na misiite pri NASA. "Kje istražuvame za da vidime dali ima v! oda, led na polovite. Možeme da ja koristime sončevata svetlina za da im dademe mokjnost na našite sistemi." Mesečinata bi trebalo da stane baza za patnicite vo drugi delovi na našiot solaren sistem. Programata najprvo beše oceneta kako mnogu skapa, no dobi pozitivna reakcija vo vtornikot, na Kapitol Hil. Kako i da e, kje í treba fond od 3 milijardi dolari godišno. Planot beš opišan kako "fatalna greška" od Norman Ogustin, glaven na panelot na eksperti postaveni od administracijata na Obama.No, mnogu kongresmeni, od dvete partii, i duri i sopruga na astronaut zastanaae zad misijata. "Ne ja gledam logikata na toa da se napušti idejata za ona za što nacijata potroši godini i godini i milijardi dolari za da go razvie.", reče Gabriel Gifords, sopruga na astronautot Mark Keli i glavna na Vselenskiot potkomitet. Spored izveštaite na vselenskata agencija, taa vekje ima investirano okolu 8 milijardi dol! ari vo programata i treba da potroši ušte najmalku 1! 00 milij ardi dolari do 2020 godina. Proektot za vrakjanje na mesečinata, koj beše predložen pd poranešniot pretsedatel Dzordz W.Buš. vklučuva izgradba na dve novi raketi. Pomalata narečena Ares 1 za nosenje lugje i pogolemata Ares 5 za opremata. Kako i da e, spored komisijata što ja rakovodi Ogustin, izgradbata na pomala raketa ne e neophodna, zašto Ares 5 bi možela da gi nosi i lugjeto i opremata. Sega odlukata e vo racete na administracijata na Obama otkako kje go ocenat izveštajot na komisijata.

Site nie znaeme deka Univerzumot e vo postojano dviženje, kako i da e, no za čovečkoto suštestvo da go razbere, e rečisi nezamislivo. Znaeme za dviženjata na Solarniot sistem i nie znaeme nešto za životot i smrtta na zvezdite. Teorijata na crnata dupka ne e celosno nepoznata za nas. Može da bide daleku od vašite dnevni aktivnosti i dviženja. Ajde ednostavno da sedeme vo sovršena temnica i da go pogledneme noknoto nebo. Osven romantični čuvstva, toa e izvedba, spektakularna od masivna golemina. Dali znaevte deka vo sekoja sekunda zvezdite trčaat edni kon drugi? Nekoi od niv se kršat, nekoi umiraa! t, nekoi se sozdavaat vo takvoto dviženje. Se razbira, vie ne možete da go vidite toa. Performansot ima različno vremensko tempiranje. No, koga ke gi zatvorite očite, možete da ja počustvuvate brzinata, masata i čistinata na prirodnite zakoni, što vladeat toj ogromen prostor. Dali znaete deka našata galaksija, poznata kako Mlečen pat leta niz prostorot?Trča kon najbliksata golema galaksija Andromeda so 75 milji na sekunda. Neli go čuvstvuvate dviženjeto? Shto e so Andromeda? Naučnicite neodamna go objavija faktot deka Andromeda e kanibal kako galaksija. Za razlika od crnata dupka koja najverojatno gi jade galaksiite odnatre, Andromeda se vleče blizu do zvezdite, galaksiite i vselenskata masa blizu do nejziniot centar. Togaš izvedbata počnuva. Zvezdite se skršeni i rasparčeni. Za razlika od crnata dupka, Andromeda ne gi "jade" nivnite tela, taa samo gi transormira nivnite pozicii. ! Taka, vo momentov, nad našite glavi imame enormna sila &#! 353;to j a preureduva mapata na neboto. Odlično! A Mlečniot pat poleka nastapuva na scena.

Togaš, tivko, vo dlabok zanes, poglednete ušte ednaš nagore, i pomislete na podarokot na životot, što ní e podaren na kratko.

Američania plánujú návrat na Mesiac by Zuzana Zelenakova

Americká vesmírna agentúra NASA plánovala návrat na Mesiac už nejaký čas. Za predbežný dátum bol stanovený rok 2020, je to aj kvôli plánovaným misiám do ostatných častí nášho slnečného systému, ako povedala hovorkyňa NASA Lynette Madison. „Naša predstava je taká, že na Mesiaci by vzniklo stále americké osídlenie, hovoríme o možnosti žiť mimo Zeme, získavať kyslík pre lunárne regulátory,“ hovorí John Olson z NASA, ktorý sa zaoberá bezpečnosť! ou a poistením misií. „Budeme pátrať po vode a ľade na póloch. Slnečné svetlo môžeme využívať ako zdroj energie pre naše systémy.“ Mesiac by sa mal stať akousi základňou pre lety do ostatných častí slnečnej sústavy. Program, ešte nedávno odstavený ako príliš nákladný, si v utorok v Kongrese polepšil. Avšak stále treba na jeho financovanie každoročne vynaložiť tri miliardy dolárov. Norman Augustine, ktorý stojí na čele komisie vymenovanej prezidentom Obamom aby sa zaoberala touto otázkou ho označil ako „úplne chybný“ vzhľadom na finančné zdroje, ktoré má agentúra v súčasnosti k dispozícii. No na obranu vesmírneho programu sa postavilo mnoho kongresmanov, a to z oboch strán, a ! aj manželka jedného astronauta. „Je nelogick&#! 233;, ab y sa zrušilo niečo do čoho sa už investovalo toľko miliárd dolárov,“ povedala členka vesmírneho podvýboru Gabrielle Giffordsová, manželka astronauta Marka Kellyho. Podľa správ NASA agentúra už do programu investovala osem miliárd dolárov a do roku 2020 investuje ešte najmenej sto miliárd. Návrh projektu týkajúceho sa návratu na Mesiac, ktorý predložil ešte bývalý prezident George W. Bush zahŕňa výstavbu dvoch nových rakiet. Menšia s názvom Ares I by na palube viezla ľudí a väčšia Ares V zase vybavenie. Avšak, podľa komisie vedenej Normanom Augustinom vybudovanie menšej z rakiet nie je nevyhnutné, pretože Ares V by mohol odniesť ľudí i vybavenie. Rozhodnutie teraz spočíva na vláde prezidenta Obamu po tom, čo si pre! študuje správu komisie.

Back to the moon by Zuzana Zelenakova

The US space agency NASA has been planning the return to the moon for quite some time. The year set for the mission should be 2020, it is partly because of plans missions to other parts of our solar system, as states NASA´s spokeswoman Lynette Madison. "What we envision is having a ... sustained U.S. presence on the moon ... being able to live off the land, to get oxygen for lunar regulators," said John Olson, a manager in NASA's Office of Safety and Mission Assurance. "We will explore to see if there's water, ice at the poles. We can use the sunlight to power our systems." The moon should become a base for voyages to other parts of our solar system. The program at f! irst set aside as too expensive got a positive reaction Tuesday on Capitol Hill. However, it will need funding of $3 billion a year. The plan was described as “fatally flawed” by Norman Augustine, head of the panel of experts appointed by the Obama administration given the current financial resources available. But many congressmen, from both parties, and even a wife of an astronaut stood for it. "I don't see the logic in scrapping what the nation has spent years and billions of dollars to develop," said House Space Subcommittee chair Gabrielle Giffords, astronaut Mark Kelly´s wife. According to the space agency´s reports it has already invested about $8 billion into the program and has yet to spend at least $100 billion by 2020. The return-to-the-moon project proposed by ex-president George W. Bush involves building two new rockets. The smaller one called Ares I for carrying people and the larger one Ares V for equipment. However, according to the com! mission led by Augustine building of the smaller rocket is not! necessa ry because Ares V could carry both people and equipment. Now the decision is in the hands of the Obama administration after they evaluate the commission´s report.

Contemplation sous un ciel nocturne by Milota Sidorova

Nous tous savons que l'univers est en mouvement constant, cependant, sa taille est plutôt inimaginable pour un être humain. Nous connaissons les mouvements du système solaire et savons quelque chose de la vie et la mort d'étoiles. La théorie de trou noir nous n'est pas du tout étrangère. Elle peut être éloignée de vos actions et mouvements quotidiens. Mettons-nous assis dans la nuit parfaite et observons juste le ciel de nuit. Excepté des sentiments romantiques, c'est une performance, un spectacle de la taille massive. Avez-vous su que les étoiles courent chaque seconde l'une vers l'autre ? Certaines d'entre elles! ont d'accidents, certaines meurent, certaines sont crées dans un tel mouvement. Naturellement, vous ne pouvez pas le voir. La performance a la différente synchronisation. Mais quand vous fermez vos yeux, vous pouvez sentir la vitesse, la masse et la pureté des lois naturelles, dirigeant cet énorme espace. Avez-vous su que notre galaxie, connue sous le nom „la Voie laiteuse“ se transporte dans l'espace ? Il s'approche vers la plus proche grande galaxie, Andromeda, en 75 milles par seconde. Ne sentez-vous pas le mouvement ? Que diriez-vous d'Andromeda ? Les scientifiques ont récemment publié la constatation qu'Andromeda était la galaxie cannibale. À la différence du trou noir qui peut probablement manger les galaxies de l'intérieur, Andromeda attire des étoiles, des galaxies et de la masse d'espace à la proximité de son centre. Alors l'exécution commence. Les étoiles sont écras! 3;es et déchirées. À la différence du trou! noir, A ndromeda « ne mange pas » leurs corps, il transforme juste leurs positions. Ainsi, en ce moment, nous avons au-dessus de nos têtes l'énorme puissance qui peut réarranger la carte de ciel. Quelle Merveille ! Et la Voie laiteuse prend lentement son tour. Les deux galaxies sont .loignées à plus de 2.5 millions d'années-lumière. Une année-lumière est environ 5.9 trillion de milles. Prenez votre temps d'imaginer de telles mesures. Puis, tranquillement, dans la crainte profonde, regardez en haut de nouveau, et pensez au cadeau de la vie qui nous a été donné pour un court instant.

Homo Sapiens strikes again by Claudia Sonea

Surprise, surprise, there are things that are beyond our comprehension! It is not abnormal to discover that some theories launched by so called experts turn out to be faulty and even untrue. They say they know when the dinosaurs lived and when they were extinct, what species inhabited the Earth in the past and how they evolved to the present moment. How much is it true I wonder. Taking into account the fact that from time to time they discover something that totally contradicts their first theory, you can be tempted to frown with doubt. Let’s take as example the rare Arakan forest turtle. The specie was believed extinct unt! il 1994 when turtles were found on the Asian food markets. You should know that there are 14 Arakan forest turtle living in conservation and breeding facilities and they said the probability for the turtles to live in the wild is very low if not impossible, yet a team of researchers from Wildlife Conservation Society discovered accidentally some specimens in the Rakhine Yoma Elephant Sanctuary. As it is, wild Arakan turtles still exist, thus proving that researchers cannot make undisputable statements and we should question everything. Moreover, the fact that the turtles are in such a critical situation, that they are about to be extinct due to human hunting should raise serious concerns. The Sumatran rhinos are believed to be extinct for half a century due to hunting. Good news for the conservationists around the world: the discovery of these turtles in a remote place increases the chances for the specie to survive as in captivity! the breeding is very difficult. Good news for poachers around! the wor ld: you can now earn a (dis)honest buck and hunt the remaining turtles. In any case, good luck to everyone and God be with the wild Arakan turles.

Homo Sapiens loveste din nou by Claudia Sonea

Surpriza, surpriza, exista lucruri dincolo de intelegerea noastra! Nu este nimic anormal in a descoperi ca unele teorii lansate de catre asa-numiti experti se dovedesc a fi defectuoase si chiar neadevarate. Ei spun ca stiu cand dinozaurii au trait si atunci cand acestia au disparut, ce specii au trait pe Pamant in trecut si modul in care au evoluat pana in prezent. Cat este de adevarat dati-mi voie sa ma indoiesc. Luand in considerare faptul ca, din cand in cand ei descopera ceva care contrazice total teoriile lor initiale, puteti fi tentati sa ridicati din spranceana. Sa luam ca exemplu rar broasca testoasa de padure Arakan. Speciea a fost considerata ca ! de disparuta pana in 1994, cand au fost gasite broaste testoase pe pietele de produse alimentare din Asia. Ar trebui sa stiti ca exista 14 broaste Arakan care traiesc in facilitati conservare si de reproducere si ca au spus ca probabilitate ca aceste testoase sa traiasca in natura este foarte scazuta, daca nu imposibila, dar o echipa de cercetatori de la Wildlife Conservation Society au descoperit accidental unele exemplare in Rakhine Yoma Elephant Sanctuary. Asadar, broaste testoase Arakan inca exista in salbaticie, dovedind astfel ca cercetatorii nu pot face declaratii de necontestat, iar noi ar trebui sa totul sub semnul intrebarii. Mai mult decat atat, faptul ca testoase sunt intr-o situatie critica, faptul ca acestea sunt pe cale de dispartie din cauza oameniilor ce le vaneaza ar trebui sa ridice probleme serioase. Rinocerii Sumatra se crede a fi disparut de aproape o jumatate de secol din cauza vanatorii. Vesti bune pentru conservationistii din in! treaga lume: descoperirea acestor broaste testoase intr-un loc! izolat de civilizatie creste sansele de a supravietui ca specie, mai ales ca in captivitate procesul de reproducere se dovedeste a fi foarte dificil. Vesti bune pentru braconierii din intreaga lume: puteti castiga acum un ban (il)legal un ban si sa vaneze testoasele ramase. In orice caz, noroc pentru toata lumea si Dumnezeu sa fie cu testoasele Arakan.

Niečo pod nočnou oblohou. by Milota Sidorova

Vesmír je v neustálom pohybe. Jeho mierka je však pre bežného homo sapiens, nielenže nepredstaviteľná, ale takmer hrozivá. Za tých niekoľko storočí sme objavili pohyby a zákony Slnečnej sústavy, objavili životný cyklus hviezd, ohromili sa teóriami o nekonečne malých bodoch, požierajúcich bezrozmerné množstvá vesmírnej hmoty. Nech sme však so zemou zžití, nech sa ženieme za dennou rutinou, mohli by ste dnes večer, nájsť miesto v úplnej tme a pozrieť nahor smerom k nočnej oblohe? Okrem romanti! ckých pocitov, ktoré takýto pohľad prináša, za tou temnou masou, cítime divadlo ohromných rozmerov. Viete, že každou sekundou planéty, hviezdy a galaxie merajú tisíce míľ vesmírneho priestoru? Rútia sa a križujú dráhy. Zrážajú, zomierajú a zasa sa rodia. Samozrejme, toto naše oči neuvidia. Časovanie vesmírnych pohybov je nášmu pozemskému rytmu nekonečne vzdialené. Sme mikrosekundou vesmírneho času. Ale keď zavrieme oči, tie pohyby budeme cítiť. Rýchlosť, pravdivosť prírodných zákonov, ktoré riadia celý kolos. Vedeli ste, že v pohybe je aj naša galaxia Mliečna Cesta? Voči druhej významnej a najbližšej galaxii Andromede, každú sekundu prekoná vzdialenosť 75 míľ. Tá dĺ! ;žka sa už dá predstaviť. Pocítili b! y ste te da pohyb? Predstavili by ste si ho? Prečo však Andromeda? Vo vesmíre je bezpočet väčších galaxií, z ktorých však je Andromeda doteraz jedinou potvrdenou kanibalistickou galaxiou. Hviezdy, planéty vo svojom okolí priťahuje a trhá na kusy. Na rozdiel od čiernej diery svoje obete, nephltí, ale rozmetie a preskupí. Andromeda takto pretvára mapu hviezdnej oblohy. Mliečna cesta sa k Andromede približuje rýchlosťou 75 míľ za sekundu. Koľko ľudských životov potrvá, kým dosiahne vzdialenosť 2,5 miliónov svetelných rokov? 1 svetelný rok je viac ako 5 900 miliónov dĺžkových míľ. Hrozivé, úžasné. Nezastaviteľné. Zastavte sa nachvíľu. Skúste si predstaviť tieto rozmery, pohyb, ktorý našu galaxiu nevyhnutne čaká, po! kiaľ nás dovtedy nepohltí možná čierna diera v samom strede Mliečnej cesty. Predtavte si to. A ďakujte za ten krátky okamih života, ktorý nám bol v tomto priestore daný.

La Course, Peut-il devenir une vraie addiction ? by Zuzana Zelenakova

Faire d'exercices physiques est un facteur d'être en forme et en bonne santé, mais comme l'a rélevé une recherché récente, l'entrainement immodéré peut évoluer dans une addiction régulière. Les chercheurs de l'université de Tufts ont montré que la course excessive peut avoir comme conséquence que les produits chimiques se libèrent dans le cerveau et causent un état euphorique semblable à l'utilisation de drogue. Les scientifiques ont étudié ce phénomène sur un groupe de rats. Ils réclament également que si faire d'exercice peut provoquer une dépendance, pu! is peut-être, les dépendants pourraient pratiquer une certaine sorte d'activité physique au lieu de prendre des drogues. « Exercecis, comme des drogues d'abus, menent au dégagement des neurotransmetteurs tels que les endorphins et la dopamine, qui sont impliqués au sens de récompense, » a dit le chef d'équipe, Robin Kanarek, le professeur de la psychologie à l'université de Tufts. « Comme avec l'ingestion de nourriture et d'autres parts de la vie, la modération semble être la clef. Exercez-vous tant que cela n'interfère pas d'autres aspects de votre vie, c'est une bonne chose en ce qui concerne la santé physique et mentale. « L'expériment a été entrepris sur 44 rats masculins et 40 femelles. À une partie d'eux on a coordonné une roue d'exercice à la course, l'autre partie est restée inactive. Chaque groupe a été encore divisé en groupes dont! les membres ont eu accès permis à la nourriture pen! dant une heure par jour ou pendant 24 heures par jour pour simuler l'anorexia athletica ce qui est une obsession de poids mais également un exercice interminable pour perdre le poids. Finallement, tous les rats ont récu Naloxone, qui est une médecine pour le surdosage d'héroïne qui cause des symptômes de retrait. Les rats actifs ont répondu à Naloxone en montrant des symptômes de retrait comme chez les toxicomanes (le tremblement, le branlement des dents, et ainsi de suite). En outre, les rats actifs qui ont eu accès à la nourriture pour seulement une heure par jour couraient le plus souvent et ont eu les symptômes de retrait les plus graves. Ainsi, ce que plus le rat court, les plus mauvais sont ses symptômes de retrait. En conclusion, les rats inactifs, ceux qui ont eu la nourriture pour 24 heures sur 24 et ceux qui l'ont eue seulement pour une heure, ont répondu très peu à Naloxone.

Contemplations Under the Night Sky. by Milota Sidorova

We all know that the Universe is in constant movement, however, the scale of it, is for a human being, rather unimaginable. We know about Solar System movements and we know something about life and death of stars. Theory of black hole is not completely unknown to us. It may be far from your daily deeds and movements. Let’s just sit in perfect dark and look upon the night sky. Except of romantic feelings, it’s a performance, spectacular of massive size. Did you know that every second the stars are running towards each other? Some of them crash, some die, some create in such movement. Of course, you can’t see it. The performance has different timing. But w! hen you close your eyes, you can feel the speed, the mass and the purity of natural laws, heading that enormous space. Did you know that our galaxy, known as Milky Way is flying through the space? It’s running towards the nearest big galaxy Andromeda with 75 miles per second. Don’t you feel the movement? What about Andromeda? Scientists have recently published the finding that Andromeda was cannibal like galaxy. Unlike the black hole that may be possibly eating galaxies from inside, Andromeda is pulling near stars, galaxies and space mass close to its center. Then the performance begins. The stars are crushed and torn apart. Unlike black hole, Andromeda doesn’t “eat” their bodies, it just transforms their positions. So, right now, above our heads we’re having enormous power rearranging the sky map. Wonderful! And the Milky Way is slowly taking its turn. Both galaxies are more than 2.5 million light years away. A light year is about 5.9! trillion miles. Take your time to imagine such measures. The! n, quiet ly, in deep awe, look up once again, and think about the gift of life, we’ve been given for a little while.

Mise en marche du satellite de la Corée du Sud a échoué by Magdalena Rosova

La première fusée spatiale de la Corée du Sud lancé dans l'espace a échoué à mettre un satellite sur l'orbite. Le satellite a dû se récouvrir mais puisqu'une partie de lui ne s'est pas dégagée, le satellite a retombé vers la Terre et a brûlé probablement en entrant dans l'atmosphère. Soul voudrait devenir une puissance de l'espace dans la région, mais l'échec de fusée est un grand obstacle dans la réalisation de sa position rêveuse. Après longtemps de la tension intensifiée sur la péninsule coréenne au-dessus du programme nucléaire du nord il semb! le que la situation a finalement refroidi. Le signe positif est que la Corée du Nord a étonnamment invité les deux délégués des États-Unis pour les premières négociations sur le programme nucléaire entre les deux pays. L'administration de Barack Obama a rapidement répondu en affirmant qu'elle n'a pas eu aucun plan immédiat d'envoyer les délégués en Corée. Bien que la Corée du Nord n'ait pas réagi encore au sujet du lancement de fusée non réussi, elle a promis d'observer étroitement pour voir si les États-Unis et la Corée du Sud réfèrent la matière au Conseil de sécurité des Nations Unies. Quand la Corée du Nord a lancé le satellite en avril, les N.U. ont accusé le lancement en disant que c'était un essai camouflagé de la technologie des missiles à longue portée. La Corée du Nord a indiqu! 3; que c'est une discrimination et a assuré qu'elle a vra! iment la ncé un satellite. Cependant, les experts n'ont pas détecté un tel satellite. Le Conseil de sécurité a interdit à la Corée du Nord d'entreprendre n'importe quelle activité ballistique pour éliminer ses programmes nucléaires et missiles à longue portée. C'était le premier lancement de la fusée de pays même de la Corée du Sud. La fusée a eu deux constructions, la première a été conçue par la Russie. La Corée du Sud a démarré la fusée dans le centre de l'espace sur l'île d'Oenaro, environ 465 kilomètres au sud de Soul.

Les oisseaux à la voie d'extinction by Claudia Sonea

La terre est une belle planète dont les secrets n'ont pas été encore tous découverts. Qui sait pour sûr ce qu'il y avait avant la période glaciaire et comment les choses ont réelement évolué pendant cette période et après elle ? Regardez par exemple à la Grue blanche (Grus Americana), l'une des espèces en voie de disparition qui se dirige d'un pas rapide vers l'extinction. En 2100, les gens pourraient probablement voir la Grue blanche seulement au Musée d'histoire naturelle, comme nous admirons aujourd'hui une copie du Dodo. La Grue blanche est le plus grand oiseau nord-américain (enviro! n 5.5 pieds de la hauteur) qui a été appelé en original anglais (Whooping Crane) d'après le son et le cri qu'il produit. C'est la seule espèce de grue qui émigre sans aide humaine. Leur voie de migration est du Nord canadien au Golfe du Texas. Aux 1995 États-Unis les officiels de la faune ont compté 149 Grues blanches, mais grâce à des efforts soutenus des protecteurs de la nature américains et canadiens il y a de nos jours 539 oiseaux. Le nombre est encourageant, pourquoi alors s'inquiète-t-on de l'extinction ? Le dernier rapport du «US Fish and Wildlife Service» a prouvé que le nombre de la Grue blanche s'est laissée tomber l'année dernière par 21 pour cent et que le taux de la mortalité est deux fois plus grand que le normal. D'ailleurs, cette année on prévoit une autre baisse de 20 pour cent. Les protecteurs de la nature assurent qu'il ! y a toujours un espoir pour sauver les oiseaux de l'extinction! , mais i ls doivent protéger leur habitat normal et l'observer soigneusement leurs nichées. Parmi les efforts de protéger l'espèce unique il y a un programme supérieur de la Garde de nature au côte nord du Golfe au Texas, l'Opération de Migration, et le groupe plus grand, WCEP (l'association orientale de la Grue blanche), Centre de la recherche de faune de Patuxent, Fondation de Grue internationale.

Bogatie versus bunastare by Claudia Sonea

Conform unei zicale romanesti “tara arde si baba se piaptana” si e tocmai ceea ce fac unii cercetatori. Nu au descoperit inca leacul pentru cancer, cum sa puna capat la foamea globala, nu au inca creat planuri valide de combatare a recesiunii. Totusi, nici una din cele mentionate anterior nu-I preocupa pe cercetatori, deoarece ei au alte treburi mai importante, precum emiterea de fantezii asupra posibilitatii ca recesiunea sa puna in pericol viata oameniilor. Cert e ca nu ai nevoie de o diploma de specialitate ca sa observi ca stresul dauneaza grav sanatatii, mai ales in tarile dezvoltate unde preocuparea principala e! ste sa faci cat mai multi bani, sa ai o slujba cu profil ridicat, chiar si cu pretul de a lucra toata ziua. Asadar, imaginati-va doar ce efect are turbulenta economica asupra oameniilor si cat de mult stres cauzeaza. Studile arata insa ca rata mortalitatii in timpul unei recesiuni scade de obicei si explicatia furnizata de Stephen Bezruchka de la Scoala de Sanatate Publica a Universitatii din Washington pare destul de plauzibila. Daca oamenii nu au bani vor manca, bea si fuma mai putin. Mai mult, el sublineaza ceea ce era evident, ca banii nu aduc fericirea- o tara bogata nu inseamna neaparat ca are si bunastare. Bezruchka adduce argumente in favoarea redistribuirii sociale a bogatiei, ceea ce nu numai ca este o utopie, dar si pare a fi o idée a unui om de rand decat a unui cercetator. In mod surprinzator sunt si alte studii ale aceeasi problemei a ratei mortalitatii in timpul recesiunii si justificarea este ca datele colectate ar putea adduce s! chimbari in politica tariilor precum crearea de programe de pi! ete ale muncii active. In tarile scandinave precum Finlanda rata sinuciderilor a scazut ca si consecinte a unor programe de bunastare bune. De fapt aceste programe nu aduc nimic nou. Legislatorii erau deja la curent cu faptul ca programe de bunastare duc la o scadere a ratei mortalitatii si ca oamenii fericiti lucreaza mai bine, nu se gandesc sa-si puna capat vietii s au o atitudine mai buna cand vine vorba de esecuri si infruntarea greutatilor. Asta nu e insa de nici un interes pentru guvernele nici unei tari dezvoltate precum Anglia. Cu toate grijile despre epuizarea resurselor, precum si pericolul de suprapopulare, cine trebuie sa se preocupe cu imbunatatirea conditilor de trai? Cel putin, puteti dormi linistiti la noapte, chiar daca maine s-ar putea sa va pierdeti slujba, sa ajungeti sa dormiti in strada, macar nu sunteti expus riscului de a muri; asta daca nu va ganditi sa sariti de pe o cladire inalta sau in fata trenului.

Wealth versus welfare by Claudia Sonea

According to a Romanian saying “the country is on fire and the old lady is brushing her hair” and is just what some researchers are doing. They have yet to discover a cure for cancer, to end world hunger, to create valid plans of beating the recession. However, none of the previously mentioned is on the researchers’ mind, as they are a lot more preoccupied with important things, like fantasising about the possibility of being at risk of losing your life due to the recession. You don’t need a special diploma to notice that stress is damaging people’s health, especially in developed countries where the! urge is to make as much money as possible, having a high profile job, even at the cost of working all day. Therefore, imagine the effect the economical downturn has on people and how much stress it causes. Yet, studies show that the mortality rate during the recession usually drops and the explanation that Stephen Bezruchka of The University of Washington School of Public Health gives seems plausible enough. If people are short on money, they will drink, smoke and eat less. Moreover, he points what was obvious enough, that money cannot bring happiness- a rich country doesn’t mean it has a better welfare. Bezruchka pleads for social distribution of wealth which is actually a utopia and doesn’t seem to be an idea a researcher would postulate. Surprisingly enough there are other studies on the same issue of death rate during recession and the justification is that the data could bring changes in the countries’ policies like making acti! ve labour-market programs. In Scandinavian countries like Finl! and the rates of suicides dropped as a consequence of the good welfare programs. In fact, these studies bring nothing new into our attention. The lawmakers were already aware that better welfare programs lead to a decline of the mortality rate and that happy people work better, don’t think about ending their lives, and they have a better attitude when it comes to failures and hardships. This is not, however, something that could actually be of any interest to the governments of developed countries like UK. With all the worries about the resources and their exaggerated consumption, as well as the danger of overpopulation, who needs to bother about improving people’s lives? At least, you can sleep better tonight, because you could lose your job tomorrow, you might end up living on the streets, but for sure you are not at risk of dying; that is, if you are not planning to jump off a tall building or in front of a train. Enjoy surfing and stay away fr! om any sharp object that might induce sadistic thoughts.
