Plot National projects

168 new paramedic and obstetric centers will open in the country in 2021. The construction is taking place within the framework of the national project “Healthcare” to expand the availability of medical care to residents of the country.

In 2019, 517 mobile medical complexes were delivered in 34 regions, which at the end of 2020 carried out 37.5 thousand. visits, and doctors examined almost a million people. In & nbsp;431 & nbsp;paramedic, paramedic-obstetric point, medical outpatient clinic, put into operation in & nbsp;2019 for & nbsp; the end of 2020 year, 424.7 thousand were carried out. visits.

In the village of Yurlovka, Tambov region, the grand opening of a new paramedic-obstetric center took place. The FAP is equipped with modern equipment, the adjacent territory is landscaped. In the near future, the sale of medicines will be organized.

In Mordovia, three FAPs were replaced in the villages of Tatarskaya Tavla, Nikolaevka and Cheremishevo. The new FAP in Nikolaevka is also welcome to the residents of the village of Dalny, who are also served in it. All medical and obstetric centers have created conditions for low-mobility groups of the population.

In the Timashevsky district (Mirny khutor of the Krasnodar Territory), a new paramedic and obstetric center has been opened, which serves 500 residents of the Derbent rural settlement. There will be a paramedic’s office in the FAPE, as well as vaccination, treatment and examination rooms. The medical center is equipped with all the equipment for first aid. A total of 7 paramedic and obstetric stations will be opened in the Krasnodar Territory in 2021. They will appear in Korenovsky, Mostovsky, Labinsky, Bryukhovetsky, Kushchevsky district and two — in Anapa.

The construction and modernization of paramedic and obstetric centers is one of the important directions of the federal project “Development of primary Health care”, which is being implemented within the framework of the national project “Healthcare”. Its goal is to provide high-quality, timely and equally accessible medical care to all residents of the country.

The State Research Institute of Aviation Systems analyzed the position of the United States in missile technologies. Experts have come to the conclusion that today, for the first time, Americans are lagging behind since the end of the Cold War. This is due to hypersonic missiles, which, along with the Americans, are made by Russia and China. There is no effective weapon against such missiles yet, and huge funds are needed to create it.

The US military power is now based on its ability to project overwhelming force over long distances, i.e. deliver troops, ships, planes and missiles to any area of the world in a short period of time. This is partly possible due to the presence of military bases scattered around the world. In particular, thanks to the allies in the NATO bloc.

Russia and China do not have such an “expeditionary” force projection. Hypersonic weapons, which are being developed in these countries, can help achieve parity. It presents their armed forces with a powerful tool for strengthening access-blocking or invasion-blocking zones that deter the deployment of US forces and even threaten them with a decapitating first strike.

Hypersonic weapons systems are designed to defeat existing missile defenses due to the speed exceeding the speed of sound up to 27 times, and high maneuverability (the ability to change the trajectory in flight). Effective countermeasures against these weapons currently do not exist.

Therefore, Russia, China and a number of other countries (India, Iran, North Korea) are actively implementing hypersonic technologies.

Russia is developing its own hypersonic arsenal. In 2019, the deployment of the country’s first hypersonic intercontinental ballistic missile “Avangard” was announced. During the tests in 2018, the rocket successfully hit the target at a distance of about 6,000 km, moving along a zigzag trajectory with a speed of 27 Mach.

In 2019, the Chinese army demonstrated the DF-ZF medium-range hypersonic gliding aircraft mounted on the DF-17 standard medium-range ballistic missile. The system has a range of 2 & nbsp; 500 & nbsp; km, a maximum speed of 10 Mach and extreme maneuverability in flight, designed specifically for the breakthrough of the US missile defense, including the ship-based Aegis air defense systems, high-altitude THAAD air defense systems, Patriot air defense systems. Although the system is officially armed with a conventional warhead, experts believe that it can be equipped with a nuclear warhead.

According to experts, the DF-ZF UAV demonstrated a high degree of accuracy during tests, and the warheads landed “within a few meters” of the target. More importantly, the prototype DF-ZF is able to escape from under attack in flight, leaving the enemy little time to react.

At the International Conference on Aerospace Aircraft, Hypersonic Systems and Technologies in 2017, Chinese scientists presented more than 250 articles on the topic of hypersonic weapons, almost ten times more than American ones. It is known that in the 2008-2018’s, China conducted about 20 times more tests of hypersonic weapons than the United States.

As you can see, the US opponents correspond to their technological level in this area, and in some cases even surpass them. Therefore, the Pentagon is forced to give priority to both research and development of the hypersonic weapons themselves, and protection against them.

Therefore, the Pentagon has requested $ 2.865 billion from the Congress.& nbsp;on & nbsp; financing of hypersonic weapons projects in & nbsp; 2021 & nbsp;year, which is 13% more compared to the amount in 2020 fin.& nbsp;G. ($2.508 billion). Traditional US defense systems, for example, ground-based missile defense systems on the marching sectionthe flight of the “Aegis” BMD and “THAAD” are not adapted to protect against the “hypersonic threat”. Traditional missile defense is a complex task in itself, requiring target tracking, high-speed data transmission and interception. The speed and maneuverability of hypersonic missiles greatly complicate it.

Вирусолог НИЦЭМ Гамалеи Анатолий Альтштейн рассказал каналу «360», что индийский вирус Нипах не имеет «эпидемического потенциала».

27 июня стало известно, что вирус нашли у летучих мышей в штате Махараштра. Альштейн отметил, что это уже не первый случай, а вспышки заболевания фиксировали неоднократно с начала века, но к эпидемиям они не приводили. В самом массовом случае заразились 250 человек. По словам эксперта, Нипах плохо передается от человека к человеку. 

Альштейн рассказал, что Нипах вызывает воспаление мозга или тяжелое респираторное заболевание. Смертность от него высока – до 70% от заболевших, а вакцины нет. Люди чаще всего им заражаются при употреблении фруктов, на которых оказалась слюна больного животного. 

Весной 2018-го вспышка заболевания произошла в индийском штате Керала, она носила локальный характер.

Scientists of Tomsk Polytechnic University (TPU) as part of an international team have created a gel from food waste, which will allow watering the garden less often, reports 360.

The TPU researchers explained that with the traditional method of cultivating plants, some of the water and most of the chemicals are mixed with ground water and do not reach the roots. Scientists have proposed using polymer hydrogels as an additive to the soil.

The biodegradable hydrogel is able to store a lot of water, and then slowly release it as the soil dries. Russians, using the gel, will be able to water the garden about once a week, said researcher Antonio Di Martino.

It is noted that now TPU scientists are preparing the technology to enter the market.The average service life of hydrogels is several weeks. It can be used in large farms and horticulture.

Earlier, ” AIF ” told me that there is a table calendar of fertilizing for the garden and vegetable garden, and each crop can be additionally nourished based on its needs for the necessary substances.

News: “For the first time in Russia, Ural scientists will conduct a census of hedgehogs”. Are these some kind of valuable animals? Our scientists have nothing else to do?

“In my opinion, this representative of the fauna has not been studied enough. For example, few people know that 5 different species of hedgehogs live in Russia. Our task is not to count all hedgehogs completely, which, of course, is impossible, but to get data on the dynamics of growth or decrease in their number in Russia, ” said curator of the project “Hedgehogs of Russia”, Candidate of Biological Sciences, member of the Institute of Plant and Animal Ecology of the Ural Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences Oleg Tolkachev. If it turns out that the number of hedgehogs is decreasing, then you need to include them in the Red Book. After all, they were deleted from it several years ago. Meanwhile, these are very useful animals: they eat insects, help gardeners to fight pests.

The first stage of the program project will last until autumn, when the animals will fall into hibernation. The study is designed for 5 years, it will mainly involve volunteers.

Can the treatment of a dacha plot from ticks harm people and animals and is it safe to eat the harvest from the treated beds?

The expert’s answer is 0 + –

Responds to & nbsp;Dr. Sergey Agapkin, host of the program “About the most important” :

— Acaricidal treatment — spraying of drugs based on cypermethrin — is harmful for cold-blooded people. People and animals are not allowed to go to the site within an hour after treatment. During this time, the active substance crystallizes and no longer poses a special danger to them. Treatment is not recommended if there are fruits that will be consumed in food in the next 3 weeks and during flowering and pollination (the drug is deadly for bees).

The plot of Flooding due to heavy rains in the south of Russia

In the coming days, the water level is expected to rise in some rivers of the Crimea, the press service of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of the republic reported.

According to rescuers, on June 27 and 28, water levels are expected to rise by 0.5-1.5 meters on some rivers of the peninsula.

“There is a risk of new flooding. In mudflow basins, the threat of mudslides is”, ” the report says.

The Ministry of Emergency Situations urged residents and guests of the region not to be near rivers. For those who live in the immediate vicinity of these water bodies, rescuers recommended “raising the property in the houses to a height of at least 30 cm and moving to temporary accommodation facilities for citizens”.

Last week, heavy rains fell on the territory of the peninsula, which led to flooding and destruction in Yalta and Kerch. There is a regional emergency regime in Crimea.

Meanwhile, according to experts, the water reserves in the reservoirs of the Crimea after the rains that took place from June 16 to June 20 will last at least until the end of the year. According to the head of the company “Water Technologies” Anatoly Kopachevsky, Yalta and the entire Southern coast of Crimea are provided with water.

Scientists from the National Institute of Virology of India reported the detection of the Nipah virus (NiV) in bats in the state of Maharashtra. A preprint of the article appeared in the Journal of Infections and Public Health.

The World Health Organization calls this virus one of the most dangerous in the world, in nature it is usually fixed in flying foxes and mice. It is specified that it can cause inflammation of the brain (encephalitis) or respiratory diseases. 

A person can get infected with this virus if he eats fruits that have got saliva from a sick animal. To date, there is no medicine or vaccine for this disease, while the death rate reaches 40-75%.

“The repeated outbreaks of this virus, the high mortality rate, human-to-human transmission and the lack of effective vaccines or antiviral drugs are of serious concern in India. Many places of accumulation of bats have been found in areas where many people live, ” the article says.

It is known that the Nipah was first registered in the Indian state of West Bengal in 2001 and 2007. Since March 2020, scientists have examined samples of 80 mice of the species Rousettus leschenaultii and Pipistrellus Pipistrellus living in the cave of Mahabaleshwar, finding RNA and antibodies to the virus in them.

Earlier, India reported the first 20 cases of infection with a new variety of a local strain of coronavirus, called “delta plus”. To date, several deaths have been registered due to this mutation.
