To Programmer's Day. 5 Ukrainian scientists who were decades ahead of their time and are the forerunners of modern IT

Today, January 7, Ukraine celebrates Programmer’s Day for the first time on this date. Recall that on Christmas Eve, the Cabinet of Ministers approved a decree by President Volodymyr Zelensky on the emergence of this new professional holiday. In addition to greetings to our audience on this occasion, we decided to collect a small selection — who in Ukraine stood at the origins of this profession? Who can be considered the first and most prominent Ukrainian programmers and which of them left their mark on history? We have collected information about 5 Ukrainian scientists and scholars.

Beware of mosquitoes: what is known about the chikungunya virus spreading around the world. 7 questions and answers about the disease, a pandemic of which the WHO fears

In recent weeks, the information space has been shaken by information about a new virus that worries the WHO. Scientists believe that new cases of chikungunya could trigger a pandemic. The World Health Organization (WHO) has warned that the world could face a chikungunya pandemic unless urgent action is taken. The organization has identified the same early signs of the epidemic as during the major outbreak of 2004-2005, and is keen to prevent a repeat. Some 5.6 billion people in 119 countries are now at risk, the WHO said. dev.ua figured out what this virus is, how it spreads, and whether Ukrainians should be worried.
