Day of Students
International Students' Day is associated with youth, romance and fun. Nevertheless, the story of his appearance is very sad.
On October 28, 1939, in the city Prague, occupied Czechoslovakia, students and their teachers went to a demonstration to mark the anniversary of the formation of the Czechoslovakia State. The occupying units dispersed the demonstration, while a medical student, Jan Opletal, was shot. Dozens of demonstrators were arrested.
On November 17, the Gestapo and SS men early in the morning surrounded the student dormitories. More than 1,200 students were arrested and imprisoned in a concentration camp in Sachsenhausen. Nine students and activists of the student movement were executed without trial in the dungeons of a prison in Prague's Ruzyne district.
Two years later, an international meeting of students fighting against fascism was held in London, at which it was decided to celebrate this date in honor of the victims as Student's Day every year.
The official status of the holiday International Students' Day received on November 17, 1946 at the World Congress of Students, held in Prague.
International Day for Premature Babies
Every year on the planet about 15 million babies are born prematurely, in other words, on average, every 10th child. More than one million of these children die soon after birth, and many suffer from various types of physical and neurological disabilities or have learning problems. According to statistics, premature births account for almost half of all deaths of newborn babies in the world.
The increase in the number of cases of preterm birth is due to several factors:
- First of all, it is the later age of women giving birth,
- the widespread use of drugs for infertility,
- unreasonable premature stimulation of childbirth and
- cesarean section.
For the care of children who have received life as a result of such childbirth, the most high-tech intensive care is required.
