Why the naked ape really has pubic hair

EuroScientist — Mon, 17 Oct 2022 07:55:00 +0000

The evolutionary origin of pubic hair in humans remains a diverting puzzle. Why, uniquely among the apes—and all other mammals—do we have a patch of hair in the pubic region but little elsewhere? The other great apes have less hair there than we have, so our evolution of hairlessness, evidently in parallel with our evolution of upright bipedalism, calls attention to the counterintuitive gain of pubic hair.

Black holes as rejuvenating systems of the universe

EuroScientist — Tue, 11 Oct 2022 13:28:41 +0000

Jets from the black holes in the centers of some galaxies are well documented by astronomical observations. The mechanism that forms these jests is not well-understood yet. We extended the mass-energy equivalence principle to the universal space where a given physical object diminishes the energy density of space in its center exactly for the amount of its energy. In today’s physics is understood that universal space is a type of energy often named “superfluid quantum space”.

What attributes might doctoral graduates need to contribute to the world of the future? A ‘modest’ reflection

EuroScientist — Fri, 07 Oct 2022 09:05:35 +0000

Change is an enduring feature of our modern lives. As the climate crisis, the ongoing wars, the COVID pandemic, the global movement for social justice, and the emerging developments in artificial intelligence have shown, change may be very sudden or creep up on us, but it is often disruptive. We can expect future societal disruptions that impact the way we work, interact, and think. This uncertainty is a challenge for all. How can we prepare future generations for an unknown and constantly changing future?

Self Sovereign Identity can do just fine, blockchain-less

EuroScientist — Tue, 04 Oct 2022 09:37:00 +0000

Authentication is the big problem on the Internet. There is no portable authentication layer in the Internet protocol, like phone number portability between phone providers. This has been a problem since the beginning: how do you prove that a user or other entity is who they say they are? Authentication is also the basis for the term SSI or self sovereign identity, popular in policy documents today. How can you control your own online identity? And at least as important: how can you ensure that others do not abuse it?

We are all familiar with the harmful properties of weeds, but there are many such weeds which play an important role in human nutrition. Such weeds are used in vegetable form by rural and forest dwellers such as Portulaca oleracea, Chenopodium album, Amaranthus cruentatus, Amaranthus viridis, Corchorus oleitorius, Digera arvensis, Amaranthus spinosus etc. Portulaca oleracea It is also known as Purslane in English and kulfa, nonia in india. It is an important plant that occurs naturally as a weed in field crops and lawns. Purslane is widely distributed around the world. This plant contains mucilaginous substances that are of medicinal value. Portulaca plant is commonly seen in gardens, plains and roadsides. Its stalk and leaves are both used for food. It contains the properties of vitamins, minerals, iron, antioxidants and fiber, which are considered very beneficial for health. Iron deficiency can be overcome by consuming Purslane greens. Bones and teeth can be made healthy and strong by including Purslane greens in the diet. Purslane greens are rich in nutrients like calcium, iron, magnesium which can help in making bones strong in winters. It is anti inflammatory and is rich in omega 3 fatty acids, alpha-tocopherol, ascorbic acid, beta-carotene and glutathione. Leafy green is very beneficial for health as compared to spinach. It is a rich source of potassium 494 mg/100g, magnesium 68mg/100g and calcium 65 mg/100g and has the potential to be utilized as a vegetable source of omega 3 fatty acids. It is an excellent source of alpha-linolenic acid and gamma-linolenic … Continue reading Weed able for Vegetable →

5 Reasons Why Mobile Technology Can Provide Better Patient Care

EuroScientist — Mon, 12 Sep 2022 08:40:00 +0000

It doesn’t take an in-depth look at the healthcare industry today to observe a large increase in application and implementation of various technologies. From robotic surgical arms to a tablet device utilized in virtually every doctor’s visit to capture patient health data in real time, there’s no question that technology is becoming deeply entrenched in how healthcare is administered. This can create a number of substantial benefits for both patients and for medical professionals alike.

One of the largest categories of technological implementation in healthcare is that of mobile technology, or the ways that mobile smart devices and similar can be used to propel patient care. Here are a few ways that mobile technology is changing the game for healthcare provision and the patient experience.
