Texto CB1A1-I

Com o avanço científico e tecnológico ocorrido na Europa durante o Renascimento, os inventores começaram a demandar reconhecimento oficial de suas criações, a fim de impedir a imitação de seus inventos. Assim, em 1421, foi concedida ao inventor Filippo Brunelleschi, em Veneza, a primeira patente, com prazo de três anos, pela invenção de um modelo de embarcação para transportar mármore. Nesse contexto de criação de um sistema de concessão de privilégios como forma de proteção de um invento, em 1474, foi promulgado na República de Veneza o Estatuto de Veneza, garantindo ao inventor a exploração comercial do seu invento pela concessão do privilégio da invenção pelo prazo de dez anos.

No começo do século XVII, em 1623, a Inglaterra promulgou o Estatuto dos Monopólios, que consistiu na primeira base legal para concessão de patentes no país para uma invenção efetivamente nova. O estatuto contribuiu para a promulgação da Lei de Patentes de 1624, que, por sua vez, instituiu o sistema de patentes britânico. Em 1790, os Estados Unidos da América promulgaram a sua primeira lei de patentes, intitulada Patent Act, na qual era autorizada a concessão de direitos exclusivos aos inventores sobre as suas obras, estabelecendo um prazo de quatorze anos de duração. Nessa mesma conjuntura, em 1791, a França promulgou sua primeira lei de patentes, denominada Décret d’Allarde, considerada uma das principais leis publicadas durante a Revolução Francesa.

No Brasil, o príncipe regente Dom João VI promulgou o Alvará de 28 de abril de 1809, tornando o país um dos primeiros no mundo a reconhecer a proteção dos direitos do inventor, atrás apenas da República de Veneza (1474), da Inglaterra (1623), dos Estados Unidos da América (1790) e da França (1791).

Using your phone while on the toilet poses significant health risks, as warned by an expert, Dr. Sethi. Despite being a common habit, mindlessly scrolling or using your phone in the bathroom can lead to severe consequences. Dr. Sethi, a Harvard-trained stomach doctor, highlights that this practice, particularly during bowel movements, causes extended sitting that strains the rectum and anus, potentially resulting in hemorrhoids, anal fissures, and rectal prolapse.

Furthermore, using phones in the bathroom makes them a breeding ground for bacteria, surpassing the hygiene levels of a public toilet seat. Dr. Sethi emphasizes the importance of avoiding phone usage while on the toilet or, if unavoidable, suggests disinfecting the phone afterward. Research spanning over a decade has consistently shown that phones harbor a significant amount of germs, including fecal matter.

Despite these health warnings, over 65% of adults take their phones into the bathroom, with Spain having the highest usage rates (nearly 80%) and Germany the lowest (just under 55%). Interestingly, younger age groups, particularly those aged 26-41 and 18-25, are most likely to engage in this unhygienic behavior. Apart from health concerns, there’s the practical risk of dropping the phone into the toilet, with a fifth of respondents in the United States admitting to this mishap.

Does Snoozing Your Alarm Really Increase Sleepiness?

Snoozing the alarm doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll feel groggy the rest of the day. But it’s important to get as much sleep as you can. Getting up early in the morning is no easy task for plenty of people. That’s why alarms are important — they ensure that you wake up at your desired time. However, nobody can deny how tempting it is to try and squeeze in a few more minutes of sleep.

According to a survey, about 57 percent of people snooze in the morning, which is defined as needing multiple alarms to wake up. If you set a single alarm and snooze it repeatedly or set several alarms at regular intervals until the time you absolutely need to get up, you are a snoozer. Waking up on the first alarm is commonly recommended, but does it really make a difference if you are woken up by one alarm compared to several ones? In a recent sleep study, researchers examine how snoozing affects an individual’s health and sleep.

According to the study, people snooze for a variety of reasons. Most of the participants said that they just can’t get up with only the first alarm. Some say they snooze because they feel comfortable in bed, while others do it because they feel less tired when they do get up. A researcher said that snoozing might be a sign that people are waking up because of important scheduled activities — like school or work — rather than because they have adequately rested.

More than half of the people surveyed admitted snoozing in the morning for various reasons.
