Logical errors Logical errors: why do you need to know them and how often they occur in life A logical error is a mistake that has been made in reasoning or argumentation. Logical fallacies lead to incorrect statements, conclusions. Thus people sometimes pass off false judgments as truth and incorrect reasoning as correct. Below we will consider the most common examples from daily life. aka: wa ee ee a ee ee I= TL! A false dilemma, or a black-and-white fallacy, is an error in reasoning when an opponent unknowingly or intentionally excludes all ways of development, leaving only two possible options. The first option seems to be wrong, unacceptable, so the choice will be made in favor of the one left. This trick s often used by manipulators intentionally to make the choice favorable to them. Example: "/f you don't support the current government, you hate your country." Ty eI —— Il I I II SI--1-= =I |=I1 | i 7 i 7 i 7 i a a 7 i LE Scarecrow or substitution of thesis is a ploy that is used intentionally in most cases, and gives a great advantage in an argument if it is not noticed. It consists in distorting or changing an opponent's claim to a less logical but similar one. In the aftermath, it can be easier to challenge a non-existent argument. Example: "We need o plant cucumbers in our vegetable garden"-"So you only want your favorite cucumbers to grow here?!" Appeal to personality is an insult disguised as an argument. So it focuses attention on the shortcomings of the opponent instead of addressing the relevant issue. It can serve as a distraction, as shown in the following example: “You cannot be called a citizen of your country because you do not speak the native language of that country well.”
Player's fallacy is the phenomenon when a person does not understand that the probability of any subsequent outcome does not depend on the previous outcomes of a random event. The most savvy readers have already realized that an easy example can be constructed to this logical fallacy: "/ tossed a coin seven times, but each time tails fell out, so now heads must surely fall out." An argument for unknowing or an appeal to ignorance. If an assertion is not proven to be false, then it is true. This error also applies in the reverse case - the statement is false because it has not been proven to be true. Example: "You can't prove that | was the one who ate those cookies, which means | wasn't the one who ate them." As you read this little list, you've probably seen similar instances that sometimes happen in your life. It can range from an argument with your friend to mass coverage the media, which deliberately use logical fallacies to gather more readers, viewers, commentators, and it really works. Knowing a few logical errors, you can expose a demagogue, find a logical trick in this text, or avoid using them in your inference. Finally, we would like to recommend you not to focus on these mistakes, since it is okay to be wrong. So, we hope that you will apply your knowledge where it will be needed. Author: Alikhan Mauitov Translator: Anna Oleinikova The British Museum is one of the largest largest museums of all time, with over 3 million of artefacts from all over the world: China, Egypt, Greece, Italy, Nigeria. and many other countries. Lately, there's been a huge a huge number of people on social media asking for artefacts to be "reclaimed", not originally belonging to the UK, as well as there have been increasing accusations that "imperialist colonisers" stole all the wealth of former metropolises. All of this has provoked a barrage of criticism of British colonial of British colonial history. Tim Lawton MP, Conservative chairman of the museum's all-party parliamentary the museum's all-party parliamentary group, has labelled such "opportunistic".
Communication in the plant world The 21st century is a time of unheard-of breakthroughs and incredible opportunities. Cars that once conquered the roads under our leadership now glide freely on asphalt without a single touch from the driver. The colonization of Mars is no longer a distant and impossible dream, but our future reality thanks to the development of science and private projects of researchers. Robots, which at first terrified all of humanity because of the fear of their taking over the world, are now able to make our lives easier by giving us various services. Only the system of communication in plants is much more complicated than ours. When a plant senses danger and wants to "warn" its relatives about it, it releases electrical impulses that "go" throughout the plant, penetrating its stem, leaves and roots, and then transmitted through the roots of another plant. discovered that plants are ww Neu | tal ily il | |i lv i ii Plants then go into defense mode and release volatile organic compounds (VOCs) into the air. These chemicals are small molecules that are released as gases that can scare the pest, prevent it from attacking, or even kill it. And it would seem, is there really something else from the category of unusual and even fantastic that could become part of our new reality? And the answer is yes. Recently, scientists using the latest technology to study the electrical signals that occur in plant tissues have able to exchange complex electrical signals to convey information or warn of danger. Almost like ours, isn't it? However, there is another way to communicate. It turns out that plants can also use sound waves to transmit signals. Scientists have discovered that plants can make subtle sounds that are inaudible to the human ear, but can be perceived by other plants and special devices. These sounds can serve as signals of both the presence of danger and changes in the environment.
Quite a shocking discovery, isn't it? After all, it is rather unusual to realize that plants, which we considered rather passive creatures, capable of only photosynthesizing, are now as actively living in terms of communication as animals and people. And, quite logically, on the basis of this discovery, many questions arise. PAKPHIPAT CHAROENRACH/GETTY IMAGES The roots of trees and other plants use chemical signalling to communicate information How do plants interpret and analyze received signals? How do they make decisions based on these communications? Now scientists only have to find answers to these questions so that in agriculture we Can improve pest control and increase yields, so that in ecology we can understand the nteraction of plants in the ecosystem and their impact on the environment. Undoubtedly, the discovery of the ability of plants to talk now opens a new chapter in our knowledge of the plant world and confirms that nature has incredible wisdom, which is gradually becoming available to our understanding. Who knows, maybe in the future we will be able to communicate with plants on a new level and learn even more about their amazing abilities. Author: Polina Simonenko Translator: Ma'suma Mahammadjonova Journey to the world of polymers Polymers are an integral part of everyday life, because they include RNA and DNA as well as the basic components of our diet - proteins and polysaccharides. In this article we will take a journey into the world of polymers and discover some amazing aspects of polymer science. Plastic. This is the first thing that comes to mind when talking about polymers. However, we often underestimate the complexity and amazing nature of this class of chemicals. The world of polymers is much wider and more diverse than we can imagine.
The first stop on our journey is the structure of polymers. Polymers are made up of molecules that form long chains, links, or meshes. It is the structure that gives them their unique properties. Some polymers can be flexible and malleable, like rubber, allowing them to take different shapes and return to their original state. Other polymers can be hard and strong, like plastic or fiberglass, making them ideal for high-strength constructions. Next, we will learn about the different ways polymers are made. Polymerization is a chemical process in which polymers are formed from monomers. Catalysts, temperature, and pressure play a key role here. Thanks to these production methods, the scientific and engineering communities have developed a huge variety of polymeric materials with different properties and applications. Traveling further, we discover a variety of applications of polymers in various industries. In medicine, polymers are used to create artificial organs and tissues to help restore patients to health. Today, polymers are widely used in the Author: Asem Adilgereeva According to their origin, textile industry because of their elasticity, | Translator: Anna Oleinikova polymers can be divided into durability, resistance to frost and fading. three classes: natural, artificial In addition, polymers are used in the and synthetic.

Artificial polymers are obtained from natural polymers by their chemical modification. Synthetic polymers include polyethylene polypropylene, capron and many other polymers obtained by synthesizing monomers. A journey into the world of polymers allows us to appreciate and realize the importance of these materials in our lives. Polymers continue to play an important role in our world, providing robust, functional and sustainable materials for our needs and technological development.
Wireless attack? HOW CAN WE SHOOT WITHOUT USING GUNPOWDER AND EVEN TOUCHING THE BULLET? MODERN TECHNOLOGIES. One of the most innovative inventions of the 21st century is probably a wireless charger. At first glance, it is unbelievable to charge our devices using no direct power transmissions as we are used to. But it is a simple application of physics in real life. electromagnetic MICHAEL FARADAY. induction, Years before Hans the Christian invention Oersted of —— demonstrated an experiment in which a magnetic arrow was deflected from a circuit with an electric current. He proposed a theory in which the electric field correlates with a magnetic field. This theory was supported by Michael Faraday, who over the years conducted a variety of experiments and came to the discovery of electromagnetic induction. mutual influence of the electric field magnetic He conducted an experiment using 2 solenoids. The wires of the first solenoid were fixed between the wires of the second one. He connected the first solenoid to the circuit. Thus, conducting the current through the solenoid he found that an alternating magnetic field leads to the alternating electric field. Later on, Maxwell developed the idea of electromagnetic induction and came up with the famous Maxwell's equations that describe the correlation between electric and magnetic fields. solenoid WIRELESS CHARGERS The principle of wireless charging lies in using electromagnetic induction so that the charger could transport energy in space. It involves two coils of wire, one in the charger (also known as the charging pad or base) and one in the device being charged (also known as the receiver). When the device is placed on the charging pad, the coil in the receiver creates a magnetic field. The coil in the charger also creates a magnetic field. The magnetic field in the charger induces an electrical electromagnetic induction current in the coil of the receiver, which then charges the device’s battery.
OTHER APPLICATIONS Faraday's Discovery was quite groundbreaking. Nowadays technologies like broadcasting, windmills, hydroelectric power stations, and direct current generators work due to electromagnetic induction. Faraday could not imagine the essence of his invention. WIRELESS ATTACK. Using grandfather Faraday's principle we can construct an electromagnetic gun. Items you need: metal tracks, a ball, electric circuit and a magnet. All we need to do is to assemble them. Place a ball between two metal tracks above the magnet and connect the tracks to the circuit. Conduct a current through the circuit and voila you have a real gun. Remember not to choose sharp balls because this gun can be a real threat. Make sure you do not shoot at people or animals. But you can scare away bullies in your school, They will run as fast as they can. Author: Adlet Akash Translator: Anna Oleinikova The study reveals vulnerabilities in systems metasurface-based wireless communication systems Researchers from Peking University, Sannio University and Southeastern University recently conducted a study aimed at to better understand the vulnerability of the meta-environment to wireless cyberattacks. Electronic engineers, specialising in wireless communications have often emphasised the great promise of metasurfaces for widespread adoption of 6G networks.
Have you ever thought how much the first impression affects a person? The Halo effect is a psychological phenomenon, where the first impression of a person or an object affects the overall judgement about them. The Halo effect was first discovered by an American psychologist Edward L. Thorndike in 1920. His research has shown that people are prone to generalise based on one outstanding trait and form a positive image of a person as a whole. For instance, if a person is attractive and is liked at the first sight, he or she will be perceived as smart, healthy and trustworthy. However, the halo effect may lead to the neglect of positive traits if the first impression was not favourable. Several reasons exist to explain why the halo effect occurs. Firstly, human's brain is inclined to simplify information and categorise it for easier processing. As a result, we quickly form the first impression and form an overall judgement based on a single outstanding feature. Secondly, context and associations play an important role in the perception and evaluation of objects. If an object is presented in a positive context or is associated with constructive aspects, humans tend to attribute additional Thirdly, positive social qualities influence to it. may also affect the formation of judgements. Bundo Kim on Unsplash First impressions are often conditioned by appearance. People frequently rely on the opinion Ambady and Rosenthal (1993) conducted a study, of others and come up with similar which showed that students could reasonably predict conclusions without further analysis a lecturer's end-of-term grades based on only ona 10-second video clip of his or her silent image. This suggests that non-verbal cues play an important role in in shaping our judgements, even in situations when they may not be entirely accurate (Ambady & Rosenthal, 1993). or evaluation.
To avoid the halo effect, according to Daniel Kahneman, one of the founders of behavioural economics, it is important to learn to recognise it and be more aware. Critical evaluation and search of the new sources of information contribute to a more complete and objective image. It is also beneficial to take into account time, extreme circumstances, and information awareness, which can reveal real personality traits. In business context, companies actively use the holo effect by inviting celebrities to promote their products. Association with well-known individuals can higher consumer trust and interest, which leads to increase in sales. Celebrity reviews, free products for bloggers, and participation of famous artists in the company’s events - all these are tactics which allow the use of the halo effect in marketing campaigns. In the medical field, doctors can come to a wrong conclusion by judging the appearance of the patient instead of testing him/her. The Halo effect can influence the judgements of psychological state, leading to undiagnosed disorders. At work, managers impressed by successful specialists may overlook the efforts of other employees and neglect unnoticeable talents. Affected by the halo effect managers may recruit incompetent employees based on their prestigious diplomas, ignoring more suitable candidates. However, it should be kept in mind that the halo effect does not always match reality. Gradual disclosure of actual personal traits, extreme situations and critical evaluation can destroy this effect. To make more profound decisions it is important not to trust the first impression only and to consciously analyse the information available.

It is an essential component of all cells, tissues and organs and fulfils a number of important functions and it fulfils a number of important functions, the realisation of which has a beneficial effect to the general well-being of human beings. Firstly, water is the main component of the blood, which serves as as a transport medium for the delivery of nutrients nutrients, oxygen and hormones throughout the body. By drinking an adequate amount of water every day. We ensure the normalisation blood circulation, which promotes the efficient organ function and improves overall health. Secondly, water plays a key role in the processes of digestion. It helps to digest food, absorb nutrients and remove waste from the body. Regular consumption of water promotes normal intestinal function and helps maintain optimal levels of energy and vitality. The third important function of water has to do with regulating body temperature. During physical activity or in under conditions of increased ambient temperature in order to cool down, the body starts to sweat. In this process. a large amount of moisture. That's why it's important to drink enough of water to prevent dehydration of the body and to maintain a normal temperature conditions inside us. In addition, water contributes to the efficient functioning of the brain. The brain is known to be about 75 per cent water, and even mil dehydration can lead to impaired cognitive function, decreased concentration and memory. Consuming the optimum amount of water helps to maintain mental clarity, increases productivity and overall performance. In addition to these important functions, water also helps to strengthen the immune system and improve skin health. It makes softer, firmer and healthier, and it also helps to reduce 30°C — Ambient temperature — 20°C

However, despite all the the benefits of water, many people still don't drink enough of it. Of course, it's important to realise that each person's individual water requirements of each individual can vary depending on physical activity, climatic conditions and general health, but experts recommend consuming about 2 litres of water per day (for an adult). (for an adult). Water is an investment in your health and well-being. It is a Simple and affordable way to keep your body in optimal condition. So make it a habit to consume water every day and your health will benefit. Deforestation is the disaster of the future. Breathe in. Breathe out. Now ask yourself the question, "What makes us breathe?" Some people will say, "Plants," but that's not quite true, because ordinary plants can't produce enough oxygen for us to sustain us. So "forest" would be the more correct answer. With each round of of inhalation and exhalation, it converts carbon dioxide into pure oxygen, which is so essential for mankind and for nature itself. Just imagine, a human being needs about 550 litres of oxygen every day to satisfy the body's needs. That's a big number, isn't it? Plants, especially forests, must provide us with oxygen for our lives. Accordingly, we must protect forests as the apple of our eye, because thanks to them we continue to live. But what does man do in the end? He cuts down forests for his own needs. According to approximate UNEP statistics (United Nations Programme United Nations Environment Programme), from 1990 to 2020, the world's forest area decreased by 420 million hectares (4.2 million square kilometres), or approximately 10%. It is important to realise that each year the number of trees being cut down is increasing, but even though this mechanism is already in place, it can still can still be stopped. First and foremost, it is necessary to Develop and implement strong legislation to regulate deforestation at all levels, from local to international levels. These laws should prohibit illegal logging and provide penalties for violators. However it is equally important to ensure effective implementation and enforcement of these laws. The work of law enforcement agencies should be aimed at detection and suppression unlawful actions in the sphere of forestry.
In addition, local communities, including indigenous peoples and local residents, should be actively involved in the management and conservation of forest resources. Co-operation and partnership with these communities can contribute to the effective protection of forests and the adoption of measures that take into account the needs and traditions of local people, taking into account the needs and traditions of local people. Supporting and informing these peoples about sustainable use of forest resources and alternative ways of earning a living play an important role in preventing deforestation. Tundra Boreal forest @ Temperate forest Finally, there is also a need for international co-operation and coherence of policies and laws. Global and regional agreements, such as such as the Agreement on Trade in Trade in Wild Flora and Fauna (CITES) and the Agreement on Biological Biodiversity Agreement (CBD), can help protect forests and their biodiversity. !
