Platonic substance

A term that is also used in common language for example when it is said that the word is different but the "substance" has not changed refers to a specific philosophical concept identified by Plato (427 - 347 BC) acting within the doctrine of ideas, in fact the change relates the quality and not the basic idea that remains unchangeable and is the true reality as opposed to the one that appears, that it is just like a faded reflection of the Idea and therefore of the essence or substance of the manifold. We must distinguish however the reference to a specific situation of common life and then ended, as a human story, by the reference to the ideal infinite, since there is no relationship between finite and infinite, and indeed are just the opposite and it is difficult to prove in a dialectical argument a reference of the real-life to two opposing concepts because could be ironically easily refuted.

Remains perhaps of Homo erectus to the study

The discoveries of ancient bone fragments in the Denisova cave in Siberia are allowing to reconstruct with the genetic technology the human evolutionary path up to an ancestor who might be according to researchers at the so-called Homo erectus that lived in Eurasia before sapiens, although there are many interbreeding that have yet to be identified, then considering that recently in Spain at the site of Atapuerca in Burgos a fossil of about a million years ago has been attributed to a very ancient Homo antecessor. The comparative studies of DNA have enabled to understand how Neanderthal and Denisova were genetically similar and began to differentiate itself about three hundred thousand years ago, but a small part of the genome of the Denisova goes back to an unidentified species. To note that Denisova gene segments are partially present in some oceanic populations (such as aboriginal) and Asian.

A very strong typhoon strikes the Philippines

Has not yet exhausted its destructive force the typhoon "Haiyan" that is heading to southern China and Vietnam ranked highest degree category five and defined as one of the most violent ever with strong wind peaks at over three hundred and ten kilometers in times able to uncover the roofs of houses and knock down the walls, and would be seven thousand [26/11] stimated dead in a provisional balance since many lines of communication are broken and can not have news about some areas whereas more than twenty provinces have been affected by the intense meteorological phenomenon. Particularly affected the populous city of Cebu in the central Philippines, the second largest in the country and popular tourist destination and also the islands of Leyte and Samar where proceeded partly because of torrential rain in evacuations and closures of schools and offices, also suspended fishing activities and flights.

Blood test to detect the melanoma

A medication taken before a rather aggressive skin cancer such as melanoma can spread in the body could be helpful in saving many lives and British researchers would be able with a simple blood test to measure the levels of genes identified as TFP12 and NT5E in the DNA that could be responsible for the mechanism as a switch on from which begin the disease, so when they have an alarm signal in the early stages can plan the most appropriate therapies suited to the specific case. All patients suffering from melanoma can now with the new treatments already available to survive ten years after the disease was diagnosed (in more than eight out of ten cases), but have a picture identification of biomarkers may be useful for additional treatments to prevent the spread of the tumor for example in the brain and in the lungs or in other organs.

Syrian population hungry and exasperated

Each type of food reserve would end in areas affected by Syria's civil war and thousands of people, including many children, they may not survive the winter and starve so much that people already in the absence of other resources is forced to eat pets (with a permission granted in October in Damascus by the authorities), but the news undoubtedly positive of the disarmament of chemical arsenal announced by the government is likely to overshadow the situation of the Syrian population exasperated by the difficult conditions of life since they lack even the basic services of water, electricity, telephone and medical care. Is not even groped to grow outdoor tomatoes and potatoes due to the risk of being killed by some sniper who does not hesitate even to shoot the car carrying food supplies in a conflict that has some obscure points.

Storage risky for radioactive water in Fukushima

The information given by the operator of the damaged nuclear plant in Fukushima that the recent rains have caused the overflow of radioactive water from some storage tanks, then maybe ended up in the sea, adds to other surveys of radioactive leaks that the authorities are quick to minimize with the statement that "everything is under control", as has happened recently to a loss of a human error as very small but with water with two hundred thousand becquerels per liter of beta-emitting radioactive isotopes including strontium 90 (considering that the limits for this isotope are highly persistent is thirty becquerels per liter). Then have to consider that even the subsea barriers of containment recently loosened by the storms apparently are struggling to prevent radioactive water seeping from under of the nuclear plant ends up in the sea and in this way can contaminate the food chain.

Causes of the massacre of migrants in Lampedusa

Perhaps they could also have been a long time that climate change is causing serious famines in Africa to push a group of three hundred people from Somalia and Eritrea in Libya to embark on a boat which was then overturned in an attempt to reach the island of Lampedusa in Italy, then we must consider that for example in Somalia humanitarian organizations a couple of months ago have been forced to flee the country because of violent social unrest that did not spare even personnel attempting to care for the sick. With regard to the balance of the massacre at sea are talking about hundred and eleven victims, but an hundred migrants would be trapped in the boat at the bottom of the sea that has rolled in, according to some in the misguided attempt of some migrants to evade the identification or for a fire caused by a blanket that was on fire to get noticed by vessels in transit.

Safer transport and technology

The bus that crashed from a motorway bridge in Italy in the province of Avellino a month ago [28/07] causing thirty-nine victims had the braking system out of use (at least from what appears to be a first report) because of the failure of the transmission tree that had damaged the hydraulic system which actuates the brakes and only a wheel braked with the mechanical system, then the driver could not use the engine brake to slow the vehicle and tried for this purpose the contact with the guardrail, of old technology as design and resistance to impacts and no longer up to the standard, which gave way. Another case that did discuss the issue of security has been the case of the high-speed train derailed near the station of Santiago de Compostela for speeding causing seventy-nine victims, in fact it is strange how a train that technology was not equipped with a automatic system for the control of braking even in the case of distraction.

Investigation on avian H7N9 flu virus

By performing genetic tests on the H7N9 avian flu virus that had infected several people in China, the researchers found that in the case of a girl who had fallen ill in March, after visiting his father in the hospital and then they both died, the virus strain was almost identical and so this means that the infection can occur from person to person staying in close contact (as previously noted), although the virulence is not very marked, and the virus does not seem so easily transmitted efficiently from person to person. Reported cases of H7N9 virus infection would be a total one hundred thirty-three and forty-three victims, and after the latest survey of likely although not easily transmissible from human to human is confirmed the risk of a pandemic with various stages of evolution of virulence similar to those of other strains of avian flu (such as H5N1), and it is important to monitor any outbreaks.

Hidden fat in the bones due to obesity

Some argued that obesity might be useful against osteoporosis protecting the bones from a progressive impoverishment, but American researchers analyzing scans of over one hundred obese individuals, males and females in good health, would note as there may be hidden fat as well as in the liver and muscles also in the bone marrow where osteoblasts form the bones, and then the bone scaffold be weakened and consequently more fragile with increased risk of fractures. Hidden fat in the bone marrow at levels greater than normal were seen in individuals who had osteoporosis, then should consider that can not choose the point where the body gain weight and in any case should remain thin. In the past it was thought that greater weight individuals would stimulate the bone to grow a little as happens when loading weights for exercise.

The plants also take advantage of quantum physics

To improve the efficiency of photosynthesis the plants would exploit quantum physics also reaping the "bright packages of photons" and channeling it into the cells for energy conversion, at least given the evidence from a study by Spanish researchers and other contributions in a fascinating and complex sector as that of quantum mechanics which presents aspects by logic not exactly intuitive, such as the superposition for which a particle can simultaneously occupy multiple positions and physical states. Directing a laser beam on a single molecule, it was possible to observe the reaction of coherence (in quantum physics) with which plants convert light energy into chemical energy with an efficiency of ninety percent. Some of quantum effects since now they were only observed at very low temperatures and other special conditions, but for the plants seems not would be necessary.

Considerable damage in Central Europe for floods

Slowly the water level in rural areas affected by flooding in Central Europe is going down after the recent floods that have caused twelve victims and some missing, but there is a huge damage to the whole agricultural sector with consequences on the productions that will last for some time in a period where there are few economic resources available for aid, considering that the thousands of evacuees will repair homes and businesses flooded by water. The countries that have been affected to a greater extent by the rains of torrential type would be Germany, Austria, Slovakia, Hungary, Poland and Switzerland with many large rivers that overflowed and dams that have succumbed, while still continuing to scroll through and drain the rushing water in worrisome mode. The worst situation for the statistics is against the Bavarian city of Passau which saw the worst flooding in five hundred years.

Pythagorean harmonic mean

According to the Pythagorean could be found both the same harmony in solid figures that in the music, because for example the cube has twelve sides, eight corners and six floors and therefore the number of angles is between that of the average levels and that of the sides for the harmonic music mean (the mese of 8 units represents the number of corners, the nete that of the sides 12 and the hypate of 6 units the plans). By examining the three dimensions of the cube can be seen that is harmonically composed of himself once, for once and then once again, with a unique geometric harmony that has led some Pythagoreans to compare these relationships with those of the universe and of life itself starting from the cube of the first odd number in the musical sense. Simply multiplying three, which is the first odd number, for three and three more will get twenty-seven which is at an interval of tone compared to twenty-four (27-3) whereas 27/24 is equal to 9/8 (second interval).

The crowd of Kierkegaard

What can be called a kind of thinking almost without time can be attributed to the philosopher-theologian Sören Aabye Kierkegaard was born in Copenhagen 5 May 1813 and trained with the dialectic to doubt about everything and then switch to an active life characterized by religious crises until arrive at a clear position against the "crowd" and city system, its false categories seen as a real attack on the spiritual life and the origin of the dissolution of Christianity. Some speak of a "kierkergaardian logos" with the Providence that drags up the man from the abyss into which he has fallen, everything in a perspective that sees almost a drawing even in misfortune and the faith in the anguish, whereas the philosopher was persecuted by the church and mocked by the humor magazine of his city (the Corsair) forcing him to a vehement answer that probably has undermined his inner balance bringing it to die in 1855 singing the Alleluia.

Better working conditions in Bangladesh

Following a few days ago the collapse of an eight-story building that has caused more than one thousand victims [10/05] to Savar and the population of the capital Dhaka with the demonstrations called for safer working conditions, some citizens have also lost the quietness performing in unhealthy vandalism damaging many vehicles of guiltless owners parked and setting fire to two factories to protest against the exploitation of workers. Meanwhile, rescuers continue to save lives from the rubble of the factory garments of globalized type collapsed working in difficult conditions whereas it is also a fire that killed a woman while fire fighters were trying to pull bodies from the large building (which also housed shops). Arrested the owner on the border of Bangladesh while trying to escape and also two of the engineers would be in custody.

Equally useful exercises and massage after sport

By searching in twenty women undergoing investigation about muscle pain after performing resistance exercises for the shoulders Dutch researchers have found that after two days practicing ten minutes massage on a shoulder and ten minutes of physical exercises on the other fades pain with light more effectively in the case of the exercise in comparison to the massage. It is not yet clear what is the mechanism of action of massage and exercises to alleviate the soreness, at least compared to those who do not execute them, and it is assumed that they can act on the metabolic products associated with damaged tissue, then we must consider that although the effect of relieving pain by practicing light exercise is mild allows to play in the best way the various athletic movements. It should be noted that in the past it was common the adage of to say "work over it with stretching" to avoid the pain of the muscles hinder the movement.

Boys calm if they eat fruit and vegetables

There may be a relationship between emotions and the type of power daily, at least from the results of a study conducted in New Zealand on a group of boys called to give opinions on the effects on the behavior of a type of diet based on fruits and vegetables in comparison to a less healthy, finding a greater propensity to positive attitudes and behaviors as calm and cheerful in young people that introduced with the nutrition seven-eight serving of fresh fruit and vegetables per day in comparison with the children who ate various sweets and potato crisps. Other similar research has been conducted on the symptoms of the "junk" food rich in saturated fats on health kids finding various respiratory disorders, eczema, asthma (also with severe manifestations), demonstrating again that the intake of fruit and vegetables meant a reduction in symptoms.

Average temperature of 2012 rather hot

According to the surveys of average temperatures monitored in the world in 2012 would be between the ninth and tenth position in the ranking of unhealthy warmest years since we started in 1880 to measure and record these types of meteorological data, whereas in some areas the waves of hot have been mitigated by the effects of a global current as "The Nina" (which generally tends to feed the winds). More precisely the average temperatures in 2012 would be about 0.6 degrees Celsius above the average of the twentieth century, in addition, all the years of the new century will classify among the fourteen average warmest ever measured and the population would have noticed the climate changes. For other studies the melting ice could lead to global volcanic activity since it weakens the strain on the soil and also helps to keep them enough compact.
