Herzlich willkommen zu einer neuen Folge hier im Podcast ketogener Lifestyle und Biohacking.Schön dass du wieder eingeschaltet hast. Heute erfährst du alles zum Thema „Sabotieren deine Gene deinen Abnehmerfolg mit Keto?! (Finde es heraus)“. Was, wenn dein genetischer Bauplan entscheidet, ob Keto für dich funktioniert oder nicht? In diesem Interview spricht Florence mit Epigenetik-Coach Thorsten Schmitt über die faszinierende Welt der Genetik, individuelle Ernährung und die Rolle unseres Lebensstils. Gemeinsam decken sie auf, warum manche Menschen trotz Keto keine Ergebnisse sehen und wie bestimmt Gene deinen Stoffwechsel beeinflussen - aber auch, wie du deine Gene gezielt aktivieren kannst. Ganz viel Spaß beim Zuhören!

Genetische Erkrankungen sind aufgrund ihrer sehr vielfältigen Ausprägung und vor allem ihrer Seltenheit schwer zu diagnostizieren. Dabei ist eine rasche Diagnose nicht nur für die Lebensqualität wichtig, sondern sie kann auch eine Rolle in der Familienplanung spielen. Sarah Verheyen von der Med Uni Graz kommt den seltenen genetischen Erkrankungen mittels Genomanalyse auf die Spur.  Dr. Sarah Verheyen. ist ist die ärztliche Leiterin des sogenannten „Exom"-Diagnostik-Teams für Seltene Erkrankungen an der Med Uni Graz. Das Exom umfasst etwas mehr als 20.000 Gene, die dafür verantwortlich sind, den Bauplan für Proteine bereitzustellen. Bei der Exomanalyse werden diese Gene untersucht, um Fehler zu finden, die eine Erkrankung hervorrufen können. Bei einer Genomanalyse wird hingegen das gesamte Erbgut durchleuchtet. Zum Vergleich: Das Exom stellt in Sachen „Datenmenge“ etwa 2 % des Genoms dar. Moderne Analysemethoden ermöglichen es mittlerweile, diese Unmengen an Daten zu verarbeiten. Die Analysemethoden, die bei der Genomanalyse verwendet werden, erlauben es in manchen Fällen auch, Veränderungen im Exom besser aufzuspüren. „Wir setzen Next Generation Sequencing ein. Das ist eine Methode, mit der man sehr viele Daten gleichzeitig generieren kann." Im Unterschied zur herkömmlichen Methode, bei der auf Verdacht einzelne Gene angeschaut wurden und die Patienten mitunter jahrelang auf ihre Diagnose warten mussten, sei es heute möglich, „in 1,5 bis 2 Wochen eine Diagnose zu erhalten", sagt Verheyen. Trotzdem komme man nur in ein Drittel der Fälle auf eine Diagnose, weil viele seltene Erkrankungen nach wie vor ungeklärt seien. Konkret könne man nur einem Viertel der Gene  eine Krankheit zuordnen. Es bestehe noch viel Forschungsbedarf. Schön und herausfordernd zugleich, so beschreibt Verheyen ihre Arbeit. Vor allem, wenn, wie so oft, Kinder involviert sind. Auch hier biete die moderne genetische Diagnostik neue Wege, um schwerwiegenden Problemen schnell auf die Schliche zu kommen. Invasive Diagnostik und lange Wartezeiten würden so vermieden.

At a global level, Homo sapiens have reshaped the planet Earth to such an extent that we now talk of a new geological age, the Anthropocene. But each of us shapes our own worlds, physically, symbolically, and in the worlds of imagination. This symposium focuses especially on one form of construction, the construction of buildings, while stressing that such construction is ever shaped by diverse factors from landscape to culture and the construction of history embodied in it - and more. After a brief look at birds building their nests as an example of variation on a species-specific Bauplan, we sample a broad sweep of cultural evolution and niche construction from the earliest stone tools of Neanderthals and Homo sapiens through the Neolithic and the rise of cities to the formal and informal architecture of the present day. Finally, we explore the ways artificial intelligence may further change how humans construct their mental and physical worlds.

The symbolic tools we use to design and construct our environments have been transformed by the so-called Cybernetic revolution and the innovations in materials technology that have accompanied them. The integration of computers, the Internet of Things, embedded robotics, and artificial intelligence (AI) supports the development of intelligent/smart buildings where specific levels of automation can be tailored to every type of building use and occupancy. This talk will emphasize smart architecture as being based on insights into how buildings may affect human well-being whether or not novel technology is employed. This involves a critical assessment of when and where AI and related technologies should be incorporated into the built environment. A complementary concern is with how AI will affect the way humans see their place in their social and "natural" worlds when we can no longer see humans as the only possessors of "intelligence."

The site of Göbekli Tepe is well known as a settlement of the transitional phase in SW-Asia, in which the greater mobility of the Palaeolithic increasingly gave way to the more permanent settlement of the Neolithic. This talk uses the example of Göbekli Tepe to explore the linkage of buildings with ecology, climate, economy, cultural, political, symbolic systems, and creation of networks between dwellings. The central question is to what extent it is possible to understand how people in the Neolithic constructed their world. Based on this, the talk will challenge the regnant hypothesis that Göbekli Tepe served as a central ritual site and meeting place that acted as a driving force for the spread of Neolithization. This provides an important addition to developing a perspective on the precursor forms of habitation for buildings whose architectural remains we can examine today.

This presentation will briefly trace 70,000 years of cultural evolution from the ancient crossing from Sunda to Sahul, via the swift continental colonization during the Ice Age, through the severe impacts on survival during the Last Glacial Maximum, and the socio-territorial reconfigurations during Holocene sea-level rise. The Australian Aboriginal world had become characterized by low environmental impact habitation, complex social organization systems anchored within constructed sacred origin histories, the persistence of relatively simple dwelling types situated within complex settlement sociospatial structures, and a high quality of life for most, with institutional dispute resolution mechanisms to contain conflicts.

The transition from Neolithic villages to early cities marked the greatest social transformation faced by our species before the Industrial Revolution. Our ancestors had to learn how to live in new settlements that had more people, higher densities, and more activities than had been known previously. The new adaptations to urban life involved changes in society and social processes, not just individual learning. Some changes came about through social interactions in a process called energized crowding; these include innovations in housing and the use of space, and the establishment of neighborhoods in cities. Other changes were driven by powerful new institutions, including formal governments and social classes. Do ancient cities—and they ways they responded to shocks—might hold useful insights for the development of urban adaptations to climate change today?

This talk provides a deep time perspective for assessing the behavioural implications of the creation of the earliest known structure and the technologies used in its making. Evidence for the earliest structure appears relatively late, about 500,000 years ago in Zambia, and before the evolution of Homo sapiens. The next oldest structures were made by Neanderthals in Europe, 176,000 years ago. The site in Zambia preserves rare evidence for the shaping and fitting together of two tree trunks to make a stable framework. The process of combining parts to make a whole reflects a conceptually new approach to technology, one which remains central to everything we make as humans, including structures. Did the invention of combinatorial technology require the use of language to discuss and evaluate diverse ways to form new constructs and constructions? This question arises from the extended planning and expertise needed in the making of combinatorial tools.    Series: "CARTA - Center for Academic Research and Training in Anthropogeny" [Humanities] [Science] [Show ID: 40160]

As distinct from the buildings of termites (interesting though these are), bird nests offer a more apropos point of comparison for human buildings – they are conducted by single vertebrate (or a few) and can be adapted to varied circumstances, with even a small effect of social learning. However, the basic Bauplan remains species-specific, unlike the creativity of the human architect. Since nonhuman primates lack interesting building skills, and so we suggest that bird nest construction may come to play a similar comparative role for architectural design. The static Bauplan of birds can be compared to the near-stasis of human tool use until the end of the Paleolithic, challenging us to assess the changes in human practice that unlocked an increasingly rapid process of cultural evolution.

At a global level, Homo sapiens have reshaped the planet Earth to such an extent that we now talk of a new geological age, the Anthropocene. But each of us shapes our own worlds, physically, symbolically, and in the worlds of imagination. This symposium focuses especially on one form of construction, the construction of buildings, while stressing that such construction is ever shaped by diverse factors from landscape to culture and the construction of history embodied in it - and more. After a brief look at birds building their nests as an example of variation on a species-specific Bauplan, we sample a broad sweep of cultural evolution and niche construction from the earliest stone tools of Neanderthals and Homo sapiens through the Neolithic and the rise of cities to the formal and informal architecture of the present day. Finally, we explore the ways artificial intelligence may further change how humans construct their mental and physical worlds.

Every building – from the Parthenon to the Great Mosque of Damascus to a typical Georgian house – was influenced by the energy available to its architects. This talk offers a historical perspective on a topic of great relevance today, the linkage of architecture and energy. It provides a useful complement to the non-urban perspective on ecology offered by the talk on “The indigenous architecture of Australia.” Architecture has been shaped in every era by our access to energy, from fire to farming to fossil fuels. The talk will discuss a range of buildings of the past fifteen thousand years from Uruk, via Ancient Rome and Victorian Liverpool, to China's booming megacities. If we are to avoid catastrophic climate change one important ingredients is to design beautiful but also intelligent buildings, and to retrofit - not demolish - those that remain.

Human "place-making" began over a million years ago when early humans made the hearth the center of social life. By 450,000 years ago, they were using caves in southwest Asia and sometimes buried their dead beneath the floor, linking memory-making with place-making. Hunter-gatherers started settling seasonally around 24,000 years ago, with permanent stone settlements by 13,000 BCE. Large, co-resident communities became common in the Holocene. The Neolithic (9600-6000 BCE) saw major social, economic, and cultural innovations, including architecture, monuments, and symbolic systems. Neolithic societies, with their complex economic relations, proto-urban patterns, and ritualistic architecture, were the first "imagined communities," deeply tied to memory and social symbolism.
