(1)(1) For a long time, people have wondered where dreams come from. (2)(2) To be honest, scientists still do not fully understand where dreams originate, but we have some hypotheses. (3)(3) Dreaming is like imagining something while we sleep, so we could say dreams come from our imagination. (4)(4) As we know, our imagination can be very powerful—if we try to imagine our favorite food, it might make our mouths water. (5)(5) Sleeping is like putting a computer into sleep mode. (6)(6) The computer is not completely turned off, but it is not working. (7)(7) When we enter sleep mode, we can rest and conserve our energy, but we do not completely shut down. (8)(8) When we sleep, the brain is not dead; it keeps working, but not as hard as when we are awake. (9)(9) However, the part of the brain that helps us make decisions when we are awake will rest. (10)(10) That is when our imagination can run wild.

(11)(11) Researchers investigating the reasons we dream have found that most people's dreams tend to be about common things that happen in our lives, for example, playing with friends, or dreaming about things that might be important to us, such as an upcoming birthday celebration. (12)(12) We suspect the same thing happens with dreaming animals. (13)(13) Cats usually dream about chasing something because that is what cats think about a lot when they are awake. (14)(14) Scientists have found that when we dream about something, it might help us remember that thing better when we wake up. (15)(15) So, maybe our dreams help make stronger memories. (16)(16) This is why children need enough good sleep every night to help them remember what they have learned each day.

(1)(1) While scientists around the world are trying to figure out the origin of the coronavirus, other virologists continue to struggle to pursue the origins of another disease that once wreaked havoc on the world, namely smallpox. (2)(2) The good news is, traces of the smallpox disease are finally beginning to appear. (3)(3) Researchers successfully found viral DNA from an extinct type of ancient smallpox present in the archaeological remains of the Viking Age in northern Europe. (4)(4) The earliest DNA sample dates back to 603 BCE. (5)(5) This finding provides genetic evidence that the origin of smallpox emerged at least 1,400 years earlier than previously recorded.

(6)(6) As quoted from Medicalxpress, Friday (24/7/2020), an international research team has sequenced the genome of the virus strain found in Viking teeth across Viking-era burial sites in Northern Europe. (7)(7) "We discovered a new smallpox strain in Viking teeth, and the genetic structure of that smallpox differs from the modern smallpox virus eradicated in the 20th century. (8)(8) We know Vikings traveled to Europe and beyond, and they suffered from smallpox. (9)(9) So, it is also possible that the Vikings spread smallpox," stated Eske Willerslev, the lead researcher of this study. (10)(10) Furthermore, researchers mentioned that the 1,400-year-old genetic information is crucial because it teaches us about the evolutionary history of the variola virus, which causes smallpox.

(1)(1) Development investment must refer to disaster risk reduction or mitigation so that buildings do not increase the vulnerability of residents. (2)(2) Therefore, strict supervision and law enforcement are needed for those who violate building standards. (3)(3) According to the Deputy for Systems and Strategy of BNPB (National Disaster Management Agency), Wisnu Widaja, on Thursday (1/8/2019) in Jakarta, disasters are not only a humanitarian issue, ... also development investment. (4)(4) Besides early warning systems, development investment becomes an important element in disaster risk reduction so that development can reduce vulnerability rather than increasing it.

(5)(5) Currently, 75 percent of basic industrial and connectivity infrastructure, including its supporting infrastructure, is built in disaster hazard zones. (6)(6) For example, Bitung City in North Sulawesi, which is being developed as a port, has a tsunami potential, but many parties are not yet aware of it. (7)(7) In addition, 497,576 schools in 34 provinces are located in disaster hazard areas so that more than 10 million students are at risk of being affected by disasters. (8)(8) Therefore, the structures of those school buildings must be strengthened.

(9)(9) To reduce disaster risk, a number of steps can be applied, including by understanding disaster threats: the risk must be managed through regulations before starting an investment. (10)(10) Another step is disaster simulation exercises.
