A dozen Russian businessmen will go on trial for a scam worth hundreds of millions of rubles

Kommersant: the case of an attempted theft of 627 million rubles from the Deposit Insurance Agency has been completed million rubles from the Deposit Insurance Agency (DIA), began to familiarize himself with the case materials. This is reported by Kommersant. Investigators have completed the investigation of the case initiated under part 3 of article 30 (“Preparation for a crime and attempted crime”) and part 4 of article 159 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (“Attempted fraud as part of organized group on an especially large scale “). The defendants in the case included businessmen Viktor Gorin, Denis Grishkin, Dmitry Podmostov, Sergei Federyakin, Dmitry Naumov, Vitaly Solomatin and Sergei Zagortsev. According to the investigation, in March 2017 they issued fictitious deposits in JSC ” Commercial City Bank ”, which was under threat of license revocation. They contributed hundreds of millions of rubles through their relatives and friends. When the

Ученые нашли в 200-летней рыбе ключ к долголетию

Посмотреть эту публикацию в Instagram Публикация от Igor Adameyko (@the_story_of_a_biologist) Некоторые виды животных считаются настоящими долгожителями. Едва ли не больше всего их среди рыб. Например, гренландские акулы могут прожить более 500 лет. Именно поэтому группа биологов из Калифорнийского университета в Беркли, которая изучает генетику старения, решила получше присмотреться к морским обитателям. Они сосредоточились на изучении морских окуней (Sebastes). В этом роду насчитывается более 120 видов, и некоторые из них могут жить больше 200 лет. Ученые проанализировали геномы 88 видов морских окуней и определили 137 специфических генов, которые увеличивают продолжительность жизни. Оказалось, что у окуней-долгожителей больше генов, связанных с восстановлением поврежденной ДНК. Это делает их менее восприимчивыми к определенным видам рака. Еще несколько генов оказались связаны с регулированием инсулина, что тоже связано с долголетием. Третья группа генов, известных как бутирофилины, регулирует иммунную систему морского окуня. Похожие гены у людей связаны с подавлением воспаления в преклонном возрасте. Ученые считают, что эти открытия укажут им на самые важные группы генов для долголетия человека. Генетика — не единственное, что влияет на срок жизни морского окуня. Ученые выяснили, что важным фактором является среда обитания и размер. Например, крупные организмы

Разгадана загадка «второй Луны», вращающейся вокруг Земли

A small piece of the moon may be orbiting the sun alongside Earth. This object, called Kamo‘oalewa, has an unexpected composition that hints it may have been chipped off the moon and tossed into orbit.⁠ pic.twitter.com/yZujHFljXh — Antrics (@Antrics_) November 12, 2021 Ученые наконец узнали, откуда у Земли взялась «вторая Луна», а также из чего она состоит. Речь идет об очень маленьком астероиде под названием 469219 Камо'оалева (на гавайском языке это слово означает движущийся небесный объект). Шириной примерно 41 метр, этот «небесный камень» вращается вокруг нашей планеты подобно Луне, но с небольшими отклонениями. Поэтому его еще называют квазиспутником Земли. С момента открытия 469219 Камо'оалева в 2016 году астрономы пытались узнать, откуда он взялся и почему имеет такую странную орбиту. Загвоздка заключалась и в том, что в определенных инфракрасных частотах астероиды имеют очень выразительные «портреты», но только не 469219 Камо'оалева. Ее инфракрасная сигнатура, полученная телескопом на Гавайях, оказалась очень слабой. Это говорит о том, что у нее необычное происхождение. В новом исследовании ученые из Аризонского университета детально изучили объект с помощью нескольких телескопов Аризонского университета и смогли узнать

Aliyev urged Armenia to abandon territorial claims

Aliyev: I hope Yerevan will abandon territorial claims against Turkey and Azerbaijan President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev called on Armenia to abandon territorial claims to Turkey and Azerbaijan. Interfax-Azerbaijan reports this. According to Aliyev, Yerevan “sooner or later will understand” that territorial claims “do not bring benefit and honor”. “I hope that Armenia will give up its territorial claims against Turkey and Azerbaijan, and if not, then it will further worsen its position,” he said, speaking on Friday, November 12, at the eighth summit of the Cooperation Council of Turkic-speaking States. According to him, in the 1920s, the leadership of the USSR gave part of Azerbaijan to Armenia. “Thus, the Turkic world was divided, and today we are once again uniting the geography of the Turkic world through logistics projects,” Aliyev said, adding that the launch of the Zangezur corridor “will open up very broad opportunities for the entire region.”
