Malaria, mosquitoes and chicken. That's what Rickard Ignell had on his mind when he conducted his studies in Ethiopia. Malaria is a major health issue in Ethiopia, with about 5 million cases and 70,000 deaths a year. Humans and animals share living space in western Ethiopia, where Ignell, a professor at the Swedish University of Agricultural Science, was planning to do his research. But little was known about how mosquitoes interact with various animals. Do certain animals attract the insects? Do other animals repel them? Ignell set out to investigate in the hope that such knowledge might be useful in preventing mosquitoes from biting humans and spreading malaria. His research group studied Anopheles arabiensis, a major malaria-carrying species of mosquitoes in sub-Saharan Africa.

ARDIS Audio Studio brings to your attention the famous play by George Bernard Shaw "Pygmalion", read in the original language. George Bernard Shaw is a brilliant playwright, a classic of English literature of the late XIX - early XX century, winner of the Nobel Prize in 1925. "Pygmalion" is a sparkling comedy, the essence of which is a bet made between Mr. Higgins, a professor of phonetics, and Colonel Pickering. Higgins claims that he will be able, thanks to his knowledge and pedagogical skills, to turn a simple flower girl Eliza Doolittle into a socialite. The experiment begins. But his course is disrupted by the human relationship that suddenly ensues between two men and one girl. Eliza Doolittle, who belongs to the lower classes of society, is better in mental qualities and way of thinking than her teacher, an outwardly intelligent, aristocratic professor of phonetics. In this strange contradiction, at first glance, lies the sharpness and satire of Shaw's play, its success with many generations of viewers and readers. The finale of the comedy remains open – what will happen next with the little flower girl, who coped so well with the role of a noble lady?

Upon its publication in 1897, Bram Stoker's iconic gothic horror novel was the result of years of research, and was widely praised. The story is told in epistolary form, tracing the journey of the young solicitor Jonathan Harker as he travels to the Carpathian Mountains, his subsequent imprisonment in Dracula's castle, the Count's arrival in England, and the battle fought between the vampire and a small group of men and women led by Professor Abraham Van Helsing. Stoker himself made little money from the book's success, and would die in poverty, but his legacy shows no sign of waning; the legendary figure of Dracula has spawned countless books, films, and television series. Although Stoker did not invent the vampire, he defined its modern form as we know it today.
