☆ A new study confirms it: The pandemic turned us all into jerks

Graceless under pressureTo see how the pandemic affected us, researchers looked at the so-called Big Five personality traits: agreeableness, conscientiousness, extraversion, neuroticism, and openness. But the new study found a surprising shift during the pandemic — roughly equivalent to what they'd expect from 10 years of life, not two. During the first months of the pandemic, Sutin's team found little personality change. "The only thing that went wrong," says Brent Roberts, a psychologist and expert in personality change at the University of Illinois, "is the goddamn pandemic kept going." For some Americans, the most stressful thing about the pandemic was experts telling them they should help people they don't like.

For their study, Wilson and her colleagues first set out to train a variety of 20 pet dogs to point with their noses at samples from a person who was stressed. The dogs' accuracy at detecting the stress samples — from 90 percent to 96.88 percent — was even better than the researchers anticipated. Scientists discovered how a dog's sense of smell and the sense of vision are closely linked in its brain. She compared it to dogs who can smell cancer by picking out breath samples in a line-up. It’s hard to tell whether the dogs equate what they smell with actual feelings of stress, Houpt said.

☆ Pandemic may have altered some personalities to be more neurotic, less agreeable

Adults became less extroverted, open, agreeable and conscientious during the pandemic, a new study found. Past research has already demonstrated that personalities can change as we age or develop new habits like exercising. Past research has not found an association between exposure to natural disasters and personality changes. Damian's past research has also not found an overall change in personality traits among those affected by major storms like Hurricane Harvey. Sutin said one possible reason personalities didn't seem to change at the start of the pandemic is that there was a more hopeful attitude in 2020.

☆ A dolphin's GoPro video shows it eating 8 venomous sea snakes, and scientists aren't sure why

A Navy-trained bottlenose dolphin devoured eight venomous sea snakes one day, GoPro videos show. Dolphins have never been documented eating sea snakes, only playing with them. The attacks puzzled scientists, since consuming venomous snakes can be dangerous. Prior to this study, which was published in the journal PLOS ONE in August 2022, there was no documentation of dolphins eating sea snakes — only playing with them and releasing them. They searched for other fish that might look like a sea snake on camera, but they found no other explanation.

☆ Ученые изучили тип людей, которые любят поправлять других

Они действительно не могут видеть ошибку в тексте так же, как опытный музыкант не может слышать фальшивую ноту? - В этом эксперименте мы изучили социальные характеристики людей, которые пишут и читают комментарии». В конце эксперимента участников также спросили, заметили ли они какие-либо грамматические ошибки или опечатки в электронных письмах, если да, то насколько это их беспокоило. Неожиданные результаты экспериментаВ целом все оценивали соискателей, написавших сообщения с опечатками и грамматическими ошибками, хуже, чем людей грамотных и внимательных. Но ученые уверены: выявленные закономерности нельзя объяснить возрастом или образованием участников, а только чертами личности.

☆ Studiu: O singură viespe poate provoca prăbușirea unui avion

Pentru viespi, tuburile pitot sunt cavitatea perfectă în care se poate construi rapid un cuib. Când tuburile pitot nu funcționează, avionul A330 trece automat în modul manual, forțând piloții să preia comenzile. Nu au existat incidente majore pe Aeroportul Brisbane din cauza viespilor, dar alte accidentele au fost legate de insectă. Tuburile pitot blocate ar putea provoca pierderea totală a indicatorilor de viteză și altitudine a aerului, care ar fi „periculoase”, potrivit avertizării. CASA a sfătuit companiile aeriene să acopere tuburile pitot în timp ce așteaptă pe Aeroportul Brisbane.

☆ Studiu: Oboseala post-COVID este resimţită indiferent de gravitatea bolii

Pentru a descoperi acest lucru, cercetătorii au lansat un studiu asupra oboselii, a nivelului de gravitate al bolii COVID-19 şi a marcatorilor inflamatorii şi altor condiţii ale bolii asupra a 128 de voluntari infectaţi cu SARS-CoV-2. 55,5% dintre ei au fost internaţi la Hospital St. James din Dublin, în timp ce restul au fost trataţi ambulator. Pacienţii au fost evaluaţi 72 de zile după externare sau 14 zile după diagnostic în cazul pacienţilor trataţi ambulator. Studiul relevă, de asemenea, că nu există vreo legătură între gravitatea bolii COVID-19, necesitatea spitalizării sau markerii inflamaţiei şi probabilitatea de a resimţi o stare de oboseală după infectare. Prin urmare, oboseala post-COVID este resimţită indiferent de gravitatea bolii.

Среди его участников был генетик и антрополог, доктор биологии, старший научный сотрудник Института Фтизиопульмонологии имени Кирилла Драганюка и сотрудник Национального музея истории Молдовы Александр Варзарь. Письмо исследователя в нашу редакцию после публикации второй статьи стало поводом вновь обратится к этой, безусловно, интереснейшей теме – истории молдаван в свете анализа Y-хромосомы. — Цель проекта заключалась в реконструкции демографической истории Днестровско-Прутского междуречья в свете данных генетического разнообразия современных народов Молдовы – молдаван, гагаузов, украинцев. Однако стоит, наверное, объяснить, что нации и гаплогруппы Y-хромосомы, или, как принято говорить, клады гаплогрупп Y-хромосомы – это не одно и то же. Это говорит о ведущей роли фактора смешения в генетической истории молдаван, где миграционные волны из Юго-Восточной и Восточной Европы играли ведущую роль.
