Global climate discouragement

In seven years greenhouse emissions have increased significantly; moreover it is estimated that in 2018 it will be passed to over thirty-seven tonnes of carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere compared to more than thirty-six of the 2017. This discouring data for researchers puts at risk the achievement of the objectives set by the Paris climate protocol on cutting pollutant emissions, then every year of delay in action means making it much more difficult every effort to save the planet. In practice each passing year the emissions continue to increase and those of carbon dioxide would increase by fifty-five percent over the last twenty years, considering that the use of coal (the most polluting in absolute), cars and planes in the world has risen.

Platonic and pythagorean aesthetics

The beauty for the Platonic philosophy is a approach through an upward process to the idea of beautiful so that the art reflects that its splendor, intuitable only after a long training, and avoiding the art that tries to imitate the reality that being a copy of the copy of the idea is only appearance and therefore deceptive, morally damaging, placed at a lower level of knowledge because it alienates instead of approaching so much that the modern conceptions of aesthetics would seem to be inspired by this ideal vision which sees a kind of splendor in the form. In the final analysis the idea of beautiful is the only one that can be intuited directly and leads to the contemplation of truths and to the real cultural formation. As regards the Pythagorean aesthetic conception is could say that it is similar but more linked to the number, to the mathematical harmony of the forms especially in the nature whose observation and study approaches to the Universal.

Large rivers that dumping plastic in the sea

The amount of plastic that ends every year in the seas is a danger to the ecosystem and researchers are studying systems with various technologies to collect it even if it would be easier to act at the source of pollution and therefore using less plastic and avoiding that it is discharged into rivers or before it reaches the seas; then the study would show that ninety percent of the polluting plastic comes from just ten large rivers (with at the head of this little salutary ranking Yangtze, Indo and Yellow River). In practice these are large areas where hundreds of millions of people are often concentrated and are not equipped with efficient purifiers able to filter and recycle the plastic that is discharged into the drains and then ends up reaching streams, rivers and seas. Being able to act effectively on these areas of criticism could improve an increasingly degraded situation.

Hidden dangers in artificial intelligence

While some talk about artificial intelligence as a new revolution in human history coming up with a wide range of benefits, for example with auto-driving cars without more parking problems, cheaper and organized transport, greener door-to-door distribution services, more accurate and fast health diagnosis algorithms.. others argue that in artificial intelligence there are many hidden dangers and that could cause social disturbances, loss of work until the complete disappearance of many activities, inequalities and socio-economic barriers. As regards the possibilities of intellectual growth of the machines just make the example of chess samples of the past convinced that a computer could never have the inventiveness, the prediction of the right moves, the cunning and the game vision of a expert in this game, until in the 1997 the world champion was beaten.

Renewables in moderate growth in America

Despite the decision of the current American administration to completely dismantle the project to promote clean energies replaced by a tip on fossil fuels and coal without emission containment rules from data analysis on investment and employment renewable energies continue to increase even if at the moment it is quantifiable in only ten percent of the total electricity generated by sun and wind; but many states would be willing to continue in contrasting climate change initiatives. Meanwhile a report of federal agencies argues that there is no doubt as to whether the man is responsible for the climatic overheating of the planet, then other reports indicate how the initiatives to prohibit the use of chemical components in refrigerant apparatus that damage the protective ozone layer of the atmosphere is working and the so-called hole on Antarctica is diminishing.

Banning nuclear weapons

After the latest threats from countries that have large atomic arsenals to arm bombers already used at the time of the cold war and keep them ready for action with prompt response of the adverse part some pointed out that if they were banned mines, cluster-type devices and chemical weapons, for the same reason we should prohibit the production and use of terrifying nuclear devices and readily disarm the nearly two thousand warheads that now threaten mankind. The testimonies of the surviving people following the release on their city in Hiroshima and Nagasaki of a nuclear device are of unspeakable suffering, with a level of pain judged intolerable at the beginning for the loss of burnt skin suddenly from the heat; then the slow recovery after countless surgeries leading the rest of life disfigured with reduced working skills and for this reason discriminated.

Plan to reduce smog in different metropolises

Twelve metropolises such as Paris, London and Los Angeles, which combined together reach a population of nearly eighty million people, have developed a plan to reduce pollution by purchasing only zero-emission buses to replace them all by 2025, then make large areas free from fossil fuel emissions by 2030 since are the same that causing climate warming; so more parks, pedestrian areas and roads for electric and hydrogen powered vehicles also to make these cities become more attractive places for living conditions. Private sector intervention will be necessary in order to realise zero-emission investments; moreover for example for Milan should also like to return to more sustainable lifestyles avoiding uninterrupted traffic day and night for purchases in commercial activities always open or for other purposes.

Firefighters struggle to cope with fires in California

The efforts of the more than eight thousand firefighters seeking to cope with fires mainly in the Bay area of western California are likely to be thwarted by gusts of wind that reignite the newly-extinguished outbreaks and new fronts of fire quickly devour large areas of vegetation rather dry in a situation defined as difficult if not really bad, then the air quality is much worse and the dense smoke and dusts pose a risk to the health of the local population as well as hindering all work and school activities. The balance of the victims would have risen to thirty-five with tens of thousands of evacuations while for the north of the country concerned these days by twenty-two fronts of fire is talk about the worst fires in the history of the country with thousands of houses destroyed and agricultural fields devastated by fire. Inconvenience also to San Francisco with closure of schools and cancellations of programmed events.

Napier's ballistic logarithms

Developing a proposition in the "Arenaria" work of Archimedes, from which it is obtained that the product of two powers of base ten is equal to ten elevated to a power that is the sum of the exponents of the two factors with base ten, John Napier (1550-1617) baron of Merchiston at Edinburgh developed a table of the so-called logarithms [of Burgi ?] useful especially to make the ballistic calculations in a short time and defined for that time remarkable. Left the studies the Scottish mathematician was engaged for the Anglican and Protestant propaganda with various writings; then devoted himself to scientific studies, to the design of war machines and especially to the ballistics, first using sticks as columns of the pythagorean table and then after many years of study passed to make trigonometric calculations and refinements, with the logarithms. Conceived also a calculator machine described in a text of great historical interest.

Women in some cases more resistant than males

Measuring and recording in time speed, power, torsion of movements and muscular electrical activity of eight men and nine women Canadian researchers would have found that women even if they have less force could have more resistance than men; in fact, is wanted to carry out an analysis of the data detected even though it was already known that in some isometric static exercises of muscle tests in which the joints do not move like when, for example, it is necessary to maintain a weight women wear less than men. This time it is a small study and performed on a single muscular group by flexing the foot against a suite of sensors as fast as possible for two hundred times checking how the males initially showed that they had more strength and power of women, but fatigue faster. In hypothetical ultra-ultra-marathons women may perhaps dominate these events.

Non-sustainable industrial agriculture

From the comparison of data on the consumption of the planet's resources and the ecological footprint of an inhabitant of a European country that exceeds double or triple compared to that of many poor countries it is evident that we cannot go on with this step; in fact, in 1987 it was fixed on 9 December the figurative date of maximum global exploitation and now after only three decades has passed to 2 August with the industrial agriculture seen among the main responsible (in addition to polluting emissions and the increase of population). Fishing that has become sophisticated selective industrial extraction does not allow fish to continue to reproduce especially some species that are already disappearing from the seas, then the consumption of meat with animals often confined in small cages has a heavy environmental impact and the feeding is generally unbalanced with excessive caloric intake and consequent global epidemic of overweight and obesity.

Brentano against the infallibility dogma

The philosophy of Franz Brentano (Marienbenrg 1838 -1917 Zurich) influenced the thought of many modern authors especially in the psychology field but in his life while trying to support his dissertations that were based on the Aristotelian teaching was not much heard, he found many misunderstandings and had serious crises of conscience; for example in 1870 the rigid dogma of the infallibility of the pope led him to leave the priestly habit in the 1873 to devote himself to teaching and to the study, then after various clashes on the intellectual level came to the writing of important works as "psychology from the empirical point of view". The author make a careful examination of the expressions in the concept that distinguishes them even if insists in a necessary unity of all psychic phenomena and in the text "Of the classification of psychic activities" argues that the representation occupies the first place, the judgement the second and the sentiment-will the third.

Biodiversity threatened by pesticides and drought

Pesticides formulated to counteract the growth of vegetation apart that genetically modified according risk to have a heavy impact on biodiversity; in fact as a result you will have less insects and therefore less birds, so then to chain less mammals that feed on insects and birds until, in a long time, when the environment will no longer be able to degrade these persistent molecules up to the destruction of the entire ecosystem. The drought is another threat to biodiversity for a vicious mechanism that occurs from the lower growth of forests because of scarce rainfall and plants produce less moisture, which is vital for the environment also in surrounding areas, because the roots are not well perfused and there is the risk to have consequences ups to on all vegetation and then in a loop (as described above) bugs, birds, mammals.

Bacteria behavior in presence of antibiotics

The bacteria have the ability to modify their DNA in the presence of antibiotics, but what surprised the researchers who have submitted bacteria of Escherichia coli to eight cycles of antibiotic treatment for a period of four days is the speed at which they do, so much that the population of bacteria that remains after this experimentation growing three times faster than normal E. coli in the same time period. To prevent this from happening should identify specific antibiotic as soon as better suited to eradicate the bacterial infection by the patient so that are not enabling this rather dangerous DNA modify mechanism which in the case of individuals with weakened immune systems can also lead to death. One of the skills of bacteria already previously observed would be to expel the antibiotic by the cell through a kind of DNA pump by making that it has not effect.
