Arabs represent the major ethnicity in Syria, in addition to the presence of several, much smaller ethnic groups.

Ethnicity, religion and national/ideological identities
Ethnicity and religion are intertwined in Syria as in other countries in the region, but there are also nondenominational, supraethnic and suprareligious political identities, like Syrian nationalism.

Counting the ethnic or religious groups
Since the 1960 census there has been no counting of Syrians by religion, and there has never been any official counting by ethnicity or language. In the 1943 and 1953 censuses the various denominations were counted separately, e.g. for every Christian denomination. In 1960 Syrian Christians were counted as a whole but Muslims were still counted separately between Sunnis and Alawis.

Ethnoreligious groups
Most Syrians speak Arabic except for a minority of Aramaic speakers and Syrian Kurds, who altogether form 4-5% of the population. 

Syrian Arab Sunnis form ~70-75% of the populace, Christians altogether around 10%, Alawites at less than 10%, and the remaining 5-10% formed by minority ethnoreligious groups including the Druze, Isma'ilis, and Twelver Shiites, but these are only indicative percentages.

The majority of Syrian Arabs speak Levantine Arabic, while a minority speaks a dialect related to Bedouin and Najdi Arabic in Al-Hasakah and Raqqa governorates, provinces with predominantly tribal Arab populations. In Deir ez-Zor, a dialect of North Mesopotamian Arabic is spoken reminiscent of that of medieval Iraq prior the Mongol invasion and destruction in 1258. A minority of Syrians speak a dialect of Western Aramaic in the Anti-Lebanon Mountains, while Eastern Aramaic dialects are spoken by Assyrians in the northeast.

In addition to Kurds, other non-Arabic-speaking Muslim groups include Syrian Turkmen, who had been settling Syria between the Mamluk and Ottoman times; Syrian Circassians and Syrian Chechens who settled the country in the 19th century; and Sunni Muslim Greeks who were resettled in Syria following the Greco-Turkish War of 1897. 

Muslim minority groups

Arabic-speaking or Turkmen Alawis
Arabic-speaking Ismailis
Arabic-speaking (Syrian, Lebanese, Iraqi) and Iranian Twelver Shias
Sunni Muslim (and also Christian) Palestinians
Sunni and Alevi Turkmens

NSG Leutratal und Cospoth (often referred to simply as Leutratal) is an important nature reserve in Germany, southwest of the town of Jena. The reserve is maintained by Naturschutzbund Deutschland. The reserve contains the valley of the river Leutra and beech forest. The nature reserve measures 582.9 hectares. The bedrock is Muschelkalk (limestone). In 2018, 23% of the reserve was pine forest and 16% broadleaf trees, 23% was xerothermic meadow, 9% brome semi-dry grassland and 14% agricultural use. Rare tree species growing in the forests and on the slope include wild pear and wild service tree.

A huge variety of wildflowers grow in the valley, including at least 26 species of orchids. Other flowers in the reserve include Carthusian pink, purple gromwell and liquorice milk-vetch.

In 2007 the protected area was expanded by 441.4 hectares from its initial size of 141.5 hectares. During the Nazi era a motorway (the A4) was built through the valley, however Angela Merkel's government had a 3 kilometre road tunnel built in 2014 (Jagdbergtunnel) to expand capacity of the Autobahn while reducing the impact of the road on the nature reserve.

The results of this work have so far been mixed. The burial of the Autobahn led to invasive non-native plant species including Bunias orientalis (Turkish rocket) colonising the bare ground, which it is feared threaten to displace native wildflowers, however it has also already been observed that more bats (including Rhinolophus hipposideros) are visiting the valley.

Count Stefano Jacini (Casalbuttano, 20 June 1826 – Milan, 15 March 1891) was an Italian statesman and economist.

Born at Casalbuttano, Jacini was descended from an old and wealthy Lombard family. He studied in Switzerland, at Milan, and in German universities. During the period of the Austrian restoration in Lombardy (1849-1859) he devoted himself to both literary and economic studies. For his work on La Proprietà fondiaria in Lombardia (Milan, 1856) he received a prize from the Milanese Società d'incoraggiamento di scienze e lettere and was made a member of the Istituto Lombardo. In another work, Sulle condizioni economiche della Valtellina (Milan, 1858, translated into English by W. E. Gladstone), he exposed the evils of Austrian rule, and he drew up a report on the general conditions of Lombardy and Venetia for Cavour.

He was minister of Public Works under Cavour in 1860–1861, in 1864 under La Marmora, and down to 1867 under Bettino Ricasoli. In 1866 he presented a bill favoring Italy's participation in the construction of the Gotthard Rail Tunnel. He was instrumental in bringing about the alliance with Prussia for the war of 1866 against Austria, and in the organization of the Italian railways. From 1881 to 1886 he was president of the commission to inquire into the agricultural conditions of Italy, and edited the voluminous report on the subject. He was created senator in 1870, and given the title of count in 1880. He died in 1891.

Gialdino Gialdini (10 November 1842 – 6 March 1919) was an Italian composer and orchestra conductor.

Gialdini was born in Pescia, Tuscany, and studied at Florence with Teodulo Mabellini. He won a prize offered by the Pergola Theatre of that city for the best opera, with Rosmunda, which met, however, with an unfavourable reception when produced in 1868. After two more operas he tired of composing operas and started conducting opera productions, to international acclaim. In 1889 he conducted Wagner's Lohengrin at Bologna. Later he returned to composing operas. In September 1904 he became the Artistic Director of the Conservatorio Giuseppe Verdi in the then Austrian city of Trieste but had to abandon the post when Italy entered the war against Austria in May 1915. He then returned to his native Pescia for retirement, and died there aged 76.

Rosmunda (opera, premiered 5 March 1868 at the Teatro Pergola, Florence)
La secchia rapita (opera buffa, premiered 1872 at the Teatro Goldoni, Florence)
l'Idolo cinese (opera buffa, premiered 1874 at the Teatro delle Logge, Florence)

I due soci (opera buffa, premiered 24 February 1892 at the Teatro Brunetti, Bologna)
La Pupilla (opera in 2 acts, premiered 23 October 1896 at the Societá Filarmonica Drammatica, Trieste)

LSPM J0207+3331 is, , the oldest and coldest known white dwarf star to host a circumstellar disk, located 145 light-years from Earth.  It was discovered in October 2018 by a volunteer participating in the Backyard Worlds citizen science project.

The white dwarf has a radius of , which is about 1.2 times the radius of the earth.  Because white dwarfs are such dense objects, LSPM J0207 has a mass of about 0.69 . The presence of the Paschen Beta-Line in a near-infrared spectrum from the Keck telescope helped to determine that the atmosphere of LSPM J0207 is dominated by hydrogen (spectral type DA). Due to the inner disk around the white dwarf, it should be expected that the atmosphere has a lot of other elements and that the white dwarf is a metal-polluted white dwarf. To confirm this hypothesis, it is required to take an optical spectrum of the white dwarf.

Debris Disk 
The star has a circumstellar disk despite being 3 billion years old. The infrared excess in the spectrum is consistent with two rings at different temperatures: an outer colder ring with a temperature of  and an inner ring with a temperature between 550–. It may be a debris disk created from asteroids broken apart by the star's gravity.

The inner disk is optically thick with an inner radius of  and an outer radius of . The outer disk is optically thin. It is located near the Roche radius at around  and has a mass of a small asteroid or comet. This suggests that the outer disk formed relative recently from a tidal disruption of such a small body. If this outer disk is confirmed, it would be the first known dusty white dwarf with a two-component ring system. Alternatively the gap in the disk could be explained by a dense exoplanet orbiting inside the disk and clearing a gap, or a planet orbiting outside the disk and opening a gap via resonant dynamics.

Due to the inner edge of the inner disk being located near the sublimation radius of fayalite and iron, it is suggested that the inner disk is composed of these materials. It is however not excluded that forsterite is a component of the inner disk.

Models predict only a low rate of asteroids to be disrupted by an old white dwarf. The 1 Gyr simulations by Debes et al. found that only one asteroid per simulation was disrupted 200 Myrs after the white dwarf has formed. The presence of a disk around a 3 Gyr white dwarf sets new demands for models that seek to explain dust around white dwarfs.

A survey of 249 white dwarfs to be observed with JWST MIRI at 10 and 15 μm includes LSPM J0207+3331. This might detect the infrared excess coming from the disk in the mid-infrared.

Kotelniki () is a station on the Moscow Metro's Tagansko-Krasnopresnenskaya Line. The eastern terminus of the line, east of the station of Zhulebino, was opened on 21 September 2015. The station is located in the town of Kotelniki of Moscow Oblast. It is the second station of Moscow Metro in Moscow Oblast after Myakinino. In 1984, after the western part of the town of Lyubertsy was transferred to Moscow, rapid urban development started. The whole area, along with Lyubertsy and other areas along the Kazansky and Ryazansky suburban directions of Moscow Railway were strongly dependent on the station of Vykhino, then the terminus of the Tagansko-Krasnopresnenskaya Line and a transfer station to both railway directions. In the 2000s, Vykhino was heavily overloaded. Eventually, the decision was taken to extend the Tagansko-Krasnopresnenskaya Line beyond Vykhino. The construction of the first stretch, with the stations of Lermontovsky Prospekt and Zhulebino, was completed on 9 November 2013. The second stretch connected Zhulebino and Kotelniki.
