Scientists discuss the prospects of quantum cryptography, its advantages and disadvantages.

It is an essay about the young historian and ethnologist Yana Shevchenko, her path to science and research work. It also discloses why the basis of our life, physical and spiritual, is hidden under the shade of forests.

Quantitative characteristics and a comparative analysis of traffic accidents involving wild animals in Belarus and other countries are given. The patterns of distribution of the ungulates number killed in road accidents are presented by seasons, days of the week, sex and age structure. It has been established that the places of accidents concentration are road sections adjacent to large settlements, as well as highways with high traffic.

Difficulties in timely diagnosis, the high cost and complexity of treatment, as well as the high mortality rate of malignant neoplasms determine the relevance of combating them. The highest cumulative incidence of colon cancer is observed in the industrial centers of the region. Primary multiple tumors and breast cancer in men are found with a high frequency. The role of the Amsterdam Criteria in the diagnosis of hereditary non-polyposis colon cancer in the region is limited. The risk of developing colon cancer of hereditary genesis is present in 0,49% of the region's population. The proposed criteria for the formation of risk groups are adequate and convenient for oncogenetic counseling.
