An ecological, ethical, solidarity-based or even purely commercial search engine, the offer in terms of search engines is numerous and very competitive. Do you want to promote French companies even in your daily research?

Heraklitos’un Logos’u, Karşıtlıklar İlkesi ve Değişimi Üzerine
ON HERACLITUS’ LOGOS, THE PRINCIPLE OF OPPOSITIONS AND ITS CHANGE
“Ölümsüzler ölümlü, ölümlüler ölümsüzdür; birbirlerinin ölümlerini yaşarlar, yaşamlarını ölürler.”
Dün akşam bu cümlede takılı kaldım. Heraklitos’a ait bir söz.
Milattan önce 5 ve 6. asırlarda yaşadı Heraklitos. Efes’in filozofu. En ilgi çekici yanı, Logos’u ortaya atmış olması. Kendisinin söylediğine göre, anlattığı zaman kimsenin anlayamadığı bir terimmiş.
Yüzeysel olarak açıklamak gerekirse, her şeyde ve herkeste bulunan düzenleyici bir ilke. Fakat oldukça geniş kapsamlı bir konu olduğunu söylemeliyim.
Hepimizin -tüm varlıkların- sahip olduğu ortak bir aklın olduğunu öne sürüyor Heraklitos. İlk başta kavrayamadığım bu açıklamayı kafamın içerisinde anlamlandırmaya çalıştım. Ancak bu sefer de‘Nedir bu ortak akıl?’diye bir soru çıktı ortaya.
İlkel benliğimiz mi?
Hayatta kalma içgüdümüz mü?
Yoksa tüm varlıkların sahip olduğu ancak farkında olmadıkları telepatik bir düşünce sistemi mi? Sonuncusu bayağı ütopik oldu ancak gerçekten olsaydı, belki de vardır, çok hoş olmaz mıydı?
Hatta bir adım daha ileri gidiyorum ve belki de ilk kez, Heraklitos’tan yüzyıllar sonra doğan, 16…

Fața nevăzută a lumii
The art of the University of Évora in Portugal
Evora, 2020
Școlile iezuite mi-au stârnit dintotdeauna curiozități.

Aproape clandestin, pătrund în clădirile înconjurate cu gelozie protectoare de ziduri solide, într-o sâmbătă de februarie aproape pustie, pe-nserat.

Universitatea actuală ocupă același spațiu al vechii universități iezuite inaugurate în 1559 și numără azi opt mii de studenți.

Te poți plimba nestingherit peste tot, respectând recomandarea de a nu intra, cum e și firesc, în sălile ocupate de cursuri.

Cu greu îmi pot imagina o activitate de zi cu zi, care cuprinde toate disciplinele cu excepția medicinei și a dreptului, în acest soi de muzeu.

Facultățile sunt grupate în jurul clausteriului renascentist italian din secolul 16, de-a lungul unei galerii cu arcade.

Faimoasele decorațiuni cu azulejos datează din secolul 18 și ilustrează, în fiecare sală, disciplinele predate.

Ca să deslușesc noima desenelor în alb și azuriu pe faianța care acoperă aproape integral pereții, în unele încăperi printre grațioase coloane dorice, citesc explicațiile…

Having Patience and Determination with my Disability
What does it take to be a teenager with a progressive disability? The answer is bucket-loads of patience and determination. It can take me much longer to complete ordinary tasks than most other people so I often need patience to see it through and determination to help me do it.

If you know me, you know that my story isn’t that different from most people with a progressive condition: I started out with the ability to walk and with the full use of my fingers, but gradually lost more and more function as I hit puberty. I’ve talked before on this blog about how difficult these changes were. While all of my other school friends were growing up and changing, it felt like I was stepping backwards as more of my body started to grow dormant. The doctors used words like: “deterioration” and “decline”, which were horrible words for an…

Bursts of exercise can lead to significant improvements in indicators of metabolic health | EurekAlert! Science News
Short bursts of physical exercise induce changes in the body’s levels of metabolites that correlate to, and may help gauge, an individual’s cardiometabolic, cardiovascular and long-term health, a study by Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) has found. In a paper published in Circulation, the research team describes how approximately 12 minutes of acute cardiopulmonary exercise impacted more than 80% of circulating metabolites, including pathways linked to a wide range of favorable health outcomes, thus identifying potential mechanisms that could contribute to a better understanding of cardiometabolic benefits of exercise.

L.A. officials say COVID-19 testing can’t ensure party safety – Los Angeles Times
“Your test result that you got Saturday morning was from Thursday when you got tested, and it said, ‘On Thursday, you were negative,’” Ferrer said. “It says nothing about whether you’re still negative on Saturday.
“I do want people to understand that testing on Thursday so you can party on Saturday: That doesn’t work. It’s not a good idea. It’s not effective and you really are in some ways wasting a valuable resource,” Ferrer said.
