Russia creates world's first anti-drone rifle simulator

Students of the Southern Federal University (SFU) have developed the world's first training platform simulator that simulates working with anti-drone rifles and drone detection systems . This is a virtual environment where one can practice in real-world drone warfare scenarios. In the program, one can practice the skills of using different models of anti--drone guns (for example, "Pars" and "Harpy"), detectors (such as "Bulat" version 3) and drones - from FPV devices to DJI and military "Leleki-100".

The tests include not only questions from books, but also videos with real scenarios where you need to choose the right action, representatives of the development team said. Military expert Yuri Lyamin believes that the simulator is useful at the initial stage of training, as it allows you to study the basic algorithms of actions, characteristics of equipment and save money.

A New Compound Capable of Halting the Progression of Epilepsy Has Been Synthesized

Scientists from Southern Federal University (SFU) and Volgograd State Medical University have synthesized a new compound capable of halting the progression of epilepsy and reducing the frequency of seizures. This was announced by the university's press service. "Researchers from Southern Federal University and Volgograd State Medical University have developed a promising compound that could become an effective treatment for epilepsy. The scientists synthesized a new compound based on benzimidazole derivatives – a class of substances known for their neuroprotective activity. Laboratory tests confirmed that the new molecule not only reduces the frequency of seizures but also protects neurons from damage," the statement said. It was noted that unlike many existing drugs, the new compound does not cause severe side effects or trigger a deterioration in condition after therapy is discontinued. "To assess the effectiveness of the compound, an experimental model was developed: using electrodes attached to the heads of laboratory animals, researchers induced controlled epileptic seizures similar to severe forms of the condition in humans," SFU added.

The Impact of Aromas on Mood and Performance - Jordan News

Scents play a more significant role in human life than one might initially think, as they affect mood, concentration, memory, and even performance. اضافة اعلان According to Dr. Galina Chudiskaya, a neurologist, scents have different effects. For example, the smell of lemon, rosemary, mint, basil, sage, and eucalyptus can enhance concentration and stimulate mental activity. On the other hand, scents from plants such as thyme, lavender, and lemon balm promote relaxation, helping to reduce stress levels and improve mood. She says: "An interesting study conducted in 2017 at the Southern Federal University showed that the scent of orange essential oil can significantly improve short-term visual memory because the smell of orange activates certain parts of the brain, helping to retain information better. However, this therapeutic method does not help treat diseases such as Alzheimer's, but it can serve as an additional stimulant for memory training." Dr. Chudiskaya points out that the use of various fragrances in public spaces, such as stores, cafes, hotels, or banks, has become common. This helps create a pleasant atmosphere and enhances the perception and acceptance of products. She adds: "Using stimulating scents, such as citrus or mint, in classrooms for schoolchildren and students can improve learning. In relaxation areas or isolated spaces, it is better to use soothing scents to create a comfortable and calm environment." – (RT)
