Nový vedecký výskum hovorí, že niektorí ľudia sú jednoducho zlí vodiči. Vedci zistili, že niektorí jednotlivci sa narodia s určitým variantom génu, ktorí spôsobuje, že sa na ceste nedokážu udržať rovnako ako iní ľudia. Podľa výsledkov výskumu, ktorý podporoval americký inštitút zdravia (National Institutes of Health), spadá do kategórie ľudí s týmto génom približne 30 percent Američanov. Vedci testovali iba 29 ľudí, 22 z toho boli ľudia bez daného génu, iba sedem ľudí malo tento gén. Účastníci boli požiadaní urobiť sedem jazdných okruhov na simulátore. Vedci pripravili náročnú trasu s mnohými zákrutami a otočkami a merali nakoľko sa účastníkom podarilo! ostať na ceste. Po štyroch dňoch test zopakovali. Výsledky oboch testov potvrdili, že ľuďom s génom sa darilo o 20 percent horšie ako ľuďom bez génu. Vedci tvrdia, že gén je schopný limitovať dostupnosť určitého proteinu počas ľudskej aktivity. Tento protein podporuje komunikáciu bedzi mozgovými bunkami a udržuje ich v ich vrcholnej kondícii. Preto posilňuje ľudskú pamäť a pomáha tele reagovať na úlohy. Ľudia s týmto génom robia viac chýb a rovnako aj viac zabúdajú, čo sa naučili, tvrdí to Steven Cramer, profesor neurológie na univerzite v Kalifornii, ktorí viedol celý výskum. Narozdiel od ľudí s bežným typom génu, keď ľudia s týmto viariantom génu plnia nejakú úlohu, stimuluje sa men&! #353;ia časť ich mozgu. Tento variant génu je! vš ak v niektorých prípadoch výhodný. Ľudia s génom sú schopní dlhšie si udržať duševnú bystrosť keď majp Parkinsonovu chorobu alebo iné neurodegeneratívne ochorenie. Detailnejšie informácie o výskume sa nachádzajú v poslednom vydaní amerického vedeckého časopisu Cerebral Crotex.

New scientific research suggests that some people really are just bad drivers. Scientists found out that some individuals who are born with a certain variant of a gene do not stay on the road as good as other people. The results of the research founded by the National Institutes of Health say 30 percent of Americans are bad driers, having this gene which, as they say, equals bad driving. The research was held on only 29 individuals, 22 without bad-driving gene and just 7 with it. The participants were asked to drive 15 laps on a simulator. Researchers prepared difficult track with curves and turns and measured how well they stayed on course. Four days later, the drivers repeated the test on simulator. Results of both tests proved that people with the gene performed 20 percent worse than people without the gene. Scientists say the gene is able to limit the availability of a certain protein during any activity. This protein is needed for communication between brain cell! s and it also keeps them in the best shape. That is why it strengthens a memory and helps the body to respond when the task comes. People with the gene make more mistakes and they also forget more of what they learned, according to Steven Cramer, neurology associate professor at the University of California, who led the research. Compared with people carrying a ordinary type of this gene, when individuals with this variant must complete a task a smaller portion of the brain gets stimulated. The gene variant is also good, in some cases. People with the gene are able to maintain their mental sharpness longer when Parkinson's or any other neurodegenerative disease is present. The journal Cerebral Cortex brings more detailed information about the research.

I nekoi od rezultatite se mnogu interesni. Prvi! ot znak e deka roditelite na mnogu od ovie bogati lugje bile talentirani za matematika. I, vistinata se sostoi vo toa deka prilično e važno da umeete so brojki, zašto kako bogata ličnost, sekogaš rabotite so golemi broevi. A, matamtičkite sposobnosti možat da bidat nasledni. Najčesti rabotni zanimanja pomegju roditelite bea inžinjeri, smetkovoditeli ili sopstvenici na mali biznisi. Drug zaednički znak e mesecot vo koj tie se rodeni.

Na primer, Bil Gejts od! „ Majkrosoft“, Stiv Dzobs od „Epl“, Majkl Del od „Del“, Leri Elison od „Orakl“ ili Mark Cikerberg od „Fejsbuk“ ja probaa srekja vo tehnologijata, no ne bea uspešni. I posledniot znak e deka mnogu od bogatite lugje rabotele vo investicionata banka „Goldman Sačs“.

Predstav si, že by si bol tak bohatý ako Bill Gates, Steve Jobs alebo ďalší bohatí a populárni ľudia. Aké by to bolo? Samozrejme vlastniť tak veľa peňazí má svoje výhody. Nemusíš sa obávať o tvoje výdavky, máš dostatok peňazí na platenie účtov a môžeš žiť tak, ako ty chceš. Lenže ako sa pozerajú ostatní ľudia na bohatých? A možno sa pýtaš, ako sa môžeš stať bohatým. Veľa ľudí by ocenilo, keby mali dostatok peňazí, najmä v t! ejto dobe. Forbes analyzoval najbohatších ľudí, pretože chceli zistiť, či majú nejaké spoločné znaky. A niektoré výsledky boli skutočne zaujímavé. Prvým znakom bolo, že veľa rodičov bohatých ľudí má talent na matematiku. A pravdou je, že je dôležité ovládať prácu s číslami, pretože ako bohatý človek, musíš pracovať s vysokými číslami. A matematické schopnosti sa dajú zdediť. Najbežnejším zamestnaním medzi rodičmi bohatých ľudí bol inžinier, účtovník alebo vlastník malého podniku. Ďalším spoločným znakom bol mesiac, kedy sa narodili. Zo 480 ľudí, ktorí sa objavili na listine svetoví miliardári za posledné tri roky, až 42 z ! nich sa narodilo v septembri. Vo všeobecnosti mô&! 2;eme po vedať, že väčšina z nich sa narodila počas jesene. Na druhej strane len veľmi málo z nich sa narodilo v decembri, čo je mesiac s pomerne vysokou pôrodnosťou. Ak si myslíš, že najdôležitejšou vecou, ako byť bohatý, je škola, tak si na omyle. Takmer 15 percent týchto bohatých ľudí nikdy nedokončilo vysokú školu. Napríklad Bill Gates z Microsoftu, Steve Jobs z Apple, Michael Dell z Dell, Larry Ellison z Oracle alebo Mark Zuckerberg z Facebook pokúšali šťastie v technike, ale neboli úspešní. A posledným znakom je, že mnohí z bohatých pracovali pre investičnú banku Goldman Sachs.

Imagine that you would be as rich as Bill Gates, Steve Jobs or other famous and rich people. How it would be? Of course having so much money has some advantage. You do not have to be worried about your expenses, you have enough money to pay bills and live the way you want. But how do other people look at rich people? And maybe you ask how it is possible to become rich. Many people would appreciate to have enough money, especially at this time. Forbes analyzed the richest people because they wanted to know if there are some common signs among these people. And some of the results are very interesting. First sign was that many parents of these rich people were talented for ! math. And the truth is that it is quite important to know the numbers because as rich person you always work with high numbers. And the mathematical abilities can be inherited. The most common jobs among the parents were engineer, accountant or small business owner. Then another common sign was the month when they were born. From 480 people who appeared on the Forbes list of the World´s Billionaires in past three years, 42 of them were born in September. Generally we could say that most of them were born during the fall. On the other hand only few of them were born in December which is a month with quite high birth rate. If you think that the most important thing how to be rich is the school then you are wrong. Almost 15 percent of these rich people have never finished a college. For example Bill Gates from Microsoft, Steve Jobs from Apple, Michael Dell from Dell, Larry Ellison from Oracle or Mark Zuckerberg from Facebook tried their fortune in technology but they we! re not successful. And the last sign is that many of the rich! people worked in investment bank Goldman Sachs.
