Mente/Corpo
*O Jornal Mente Corpo do Dr. João Mariante publicou em fevereiro 2017, pag.08:* Mente/Corpo Aloyzio Achutti (médico) Há algum tempo publiquei um artigo com o título “Afinal, quem somos nós?” tecendo considerações sobre composição de nosso corpo, interação e trocas com o meio ambiente e duração de nossos componentes físicos, sabendo-se que ao final de um ano nos restam muito poucos átomos e moléculas do início, pois quase todas foram renovadas ou eliminados neste período. Mais perplexos ainda ficamos quando nos damos conta que temos no mínimo dez vezes mais bactérias em nossos apar... mais »
Papai Noel?
*Jornal Mente Corpo do Dr. João Mariante publicou em dezembro de 2016, pag 10:* PAPAI NOEL? Aloyzio Achutti Dá para acreditar em Papai Noel? A pergunta parece descabida, mas muitos de nós aceitamos essa ilusão durante algum tempo em nossa infância, assim como até hoje toleramos sem discutir muita coisa incerta, ilusória ou mentirosa. Convém crer, é melhor não duvidar, nem perguntar, e pode até não haver resposta… É preciso haver um mínimo de compatibilidade entre conhecimentos e “verdades” utilizados em nosso cotidiano e, ao mesmo tempo, uma boa margem de tolerância, ou explicaç... mais »

critical DNA sequence code
Scientists discover precise DNA sequence code critical for turning genes on Geneticists solve a decades-long puzzle about how genes are turned on to make cellular proteins January 27, 2017 [image: human Initiator ft] Molecular biologists at the University of California, San Diego (UC San Diego) have discovered a short sequence of DNA that is essential for turning on (expressing proteins) more than half of all human genes — an achievement that should provide scientists with a better understanding of how human genes are regulated. Knowing what turns on genes is important. Each human cell... mais »

Islam
From [image: www.delanceyplace.com]THE FOUNDING OF ISLAM -- 2/16/17 - 0 COMMENTS *Today's encore selection -- from Fields of Blood by Karen Armstrong.* The founding of Islam by Muhammad came at a time when the newfound wealth of Arabs in Mecca had led them to ignore the plight of the poor. Muhammad's message was a reminder to his fellow merchants to take responsibility for one another and feed the destitute, even when they were hungry themselves. It was only later that this message was subsumed into a maelstrom of war: "In 610, the year that saw the outbreak of the Persian-Byza... mais »

Gender similarities
The gender similarities hypothesis [image: cube]There is a popular notion that men and women are very different in their cognitive abilities. The evidence for this may be weaker than you expect. Janet Hyde advances what she calls the ‘gender similarities hypothesis‘, ‘which holds that males and females are similar on most, but not all, psychological variables’. In a 2016 review she states: According to meta-analyses, however, among both children and adults, females perform equally to males on mathematics assessments. The gender difference in verbal skills is small and varies dependin... mais »

Beethoven’s Letter
The Joy of Suffering Overcome: Young Beethoven’s Stirring Letter to His Brothers About the Loneliness of Living with Deafness and How Music Saved His Life *“Blessed and blessing, this music is in some sort the equivalent of the night, of the deep and living darkness,”* Aldous Huxley wrote of Beethoven’s *Benedictus* in his exquisite meditation on why music enchants us so. But he could have well been writing about *Ludwig van Beethoven* (December 16, 1770–March 26, 1827) himself — a creator suffused with darkness yet animated by the benediction of light. Like Frida Kahlo, Beethoven su... mais »
