UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and WHO’s thirteenth general programme of work (GPW) are both grounded in achieving three leading agendas in global heath: universal health coverage, health security, and health promotion.
The language you speak can impact the way that your brain hears certain sounds. A recent study suggests that artificial neural networks may work in a similar way.
Late last year, an algorithm developed by DeepMind beat a half-century-old record in efficient matrix multiplication. Days later, mathematicians built on it to push even further.
Pattern Repository In 1973, the mathematician Neil Sloane published “A Handbook of Integer Sequences,” listing known number patterns such as the Fibonacci sequence. It’s become an internet database with 362,765 entries and counting, reports Siobhan Roberts for The New York Times. The Online Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences has spawned many mathematical discoveries and is now used as a go-to resource for mathematicians. In a 2015 interview for Quanta, Erica Klarreich discussed the repository with Sloane.
Collapse Collapses There is no satisfying solution to the quantum measurement problem: To resolve it, physicists must either give up on objective reality or revise widely accepted physical laws, writes Anil Ananthaswamy for Scientific American. “Collapse theories” are an attempt to resolve the measurement problem by admitting a single, objective reality at the cost of the law of conservation of information. In 2022, Philip Ball wrote for Quanta about how searches for evidence of collapse theories have turned up empty.

The continuity of life and its evolution, we proposed, emerge from an interactive group process manifested in networks of interaction. We term this process survival of the fitted. Here, we reason that survival of the fitted results from a natural computational process we term natural autoencoding. Natural autoencoding works by retaining repeating biological interactions while non-repeatable interactions disappear. (i) We define a species by its species interaction code, which consists of a compact description of the repeating interactions of species organisms with their external and internal environments. Species interaction codes are descriptions recorded in the biological infrastructure that enables repeating interactions. Encoding and decoding are interwoven. (ii) Evolution proceeds by natural autoencoding of sustained changes in species interaction codes. DNA is only one element in natural autoencoding. (iii) Natural autoencoding accounts for the paradox of genome randomization in sexual reproduction—recombined genomes are analogous to the diversified inputs required for artificial autoencoding. The increase in entropy generated by genome randomization compensates for the decrease in entropy generated by organized life. (iv) Natural autoencoding and artificial autoencoding algorithms manifest defined similarities and differences. Recognition of the importance of fittedness could well serve the future of a humanly livable biosphere.

843 million p. to have low back pain by 2050
A new study published in The Lancet Rheumatology estimates 843 million people globally will be living with low back pain by 2050. This Global Burden of Disease 2021 study shows that low back pain is on the rise.
In 2020, 619 million people were living with low back pain. The number of people affected is estimated to increase 36% by 2050.
People in Asia and Africa are more likely to be affected due to population growth and population aging. This study illustrates an urgent need for intervention and research funding for low- and middle-income countries to ensure healthy aging.
Carolus Linnaeus, also called Carl Linnaeus, Swedish Carl von Linné, (born May 23, 1707, Råshult, Småland, Sweden—died January 10, 1778, Uppsala), Swedish naturalist and explorer who was the first to frame principles for defining natural genera and species of organisms and to create a uniform system for naming them (binomial nomenclature).
#Dr. Paulo Fernando Piza Teixeira+ Nosso amigo, faleceu no dia 20 p.p.
Paulo Fernando Pizá Teixeira, 70 anos. Nascido em Porto Alegre possui nacionalidade brasileira e espanhola. Ambientalista, foi um dos criadores da SMAM em 1976. Como funcionário da ONU exerceu funções em vários países do mundo influenciando governos e comunidades, positivamente, para adoção de agendas e práticas solidárias baseadas no diálogo e na escola de novas ideias e soluções para o desenvolvimento sustentável. Um ativista social e eterno aprendiz.
