In this episode of the Celebrate Kids podcast, the host reflects on the challenges and inefficiencies of parenting, particularly when trying to nurture a child's potential. They discuss the importance of recognizing and encouraging a child's unique personality traits while acknowledging that parenting often involves navigating dark and inconvenient moments. The episode highlights a fascinating study from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, which reveals that handwriting engages the entire brain, unlike typing. This insight serves as a reminder for parents to embrace less efficient, more meaningful interactions with their children. Tune in as the host introduces Dr. Kathy Cooke and delves into the implications of these findings for parenting and child development.

bto#278 – Obwohl in Deutschland keine Atomkraftwerke mehr am Netz sind, reagieren Befürworter der Energiewende sehr aggressiv, sobald ein möglicher Wiedereinstieg in die CO2-arme Technologie diskutiert wird. Regelmäßig wird versucht, eine Diskussion bereits im Keim zu ersticken, wobei nicht vor Falschbehauptungen und manipulierten Berechnungen zurückgeschreckt wird. Beobachten konnten wir das zuletzt im Fall zweier Studien, in denen die „Was wäre, wenn?“-Frage gestellt wurde. Eine Studie fragt, wie wir dastehen würden, wenn wir, statt aus der Atomkraft auszusteigen, weitere Kraftwerke gebaut hätten. Die zweite Studie fragt, ob wir unser Ziel der klimaneutralen Stromerzeugung nicht günstiger und realistischer erreichen würden, wenn wir auf einen Mix von erneuerbaren Energieträgern und Kernenergie setzen. Der obligatorische Aufschrei bei der “Was wäre wenn?”-Frage im Zusammenhang mit Atomkraft zeigt nur, dass eine echte Diskussion nicht stattfinden soll, dürfte sie doch zu anderen Ergebnissen führen, als eine starke Lobby-Gruppe sie sich wünscht. Das Problem dabei: Der volkswirtschaftliche Schaden ist mittlerweile so groß, dass wir uns eine solche Tabuisierung nicht mehr leisten können. Unsere Experten: Daniel Gräber, Redakteur der Zeitschrift Cicero, der mit seinen Recherchen den Bundestagsuntersuchungsausschuss zum Atomausstieg ins Rollen gebracht hat. Und Prof. Dr. Jan Emblemsvåg von der Norwegian University of Science and Technology, der mit seinen Berechnungen zu einer alternativen deutschen Energiewende für Aufsehen sorgte.

Infectious diseases are a major cause of illness and death among older adults. Vaccines can prevent some of these diseases but the uptake of vaccination among older adults varies across settings and groups. Communication with their healthcare worker can help older people makes decisions about vaccination and this is explored in the July 2021 Cochrane qualitative evidence synthesis of healthcare workers' perceptions and experiences of communicating with people over 50 about vaccination. In this podcast, two authors of this synthesis, Simon Lewin from the Norwegian Institute of Public Health and the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, and Claire Glenton from the Western Norway University of Applied Sciences, discuss why they did the review and what they found.

En el episodio n.º 65 de TODO COMENZÓ AYER, el podcast divulgativo de la Asociación Española de Historia Económica, entrevistamos a Adrián Palacios-Mateo, ganador del premio Ramón Carande 2024 con el artículo titulado: “Institutions, State development and Education in Spain during the 19th and early 20th Centuries”, publicado en el volumen 20, número 3, de la revista Investigaciones de Historia Económica. En este artículo, el autor analiza cómo la coexistencia de dos sistemas institucionales distintos durante el siglo XIX y principios del XX ―el régimen foral en las provincias de Navarra y Álava, Vizcaya, Guipúzcoa, y el régimen común del resto del territorio español―, así como las políticas educativas que impulsaron influyeron en el desarrollo educativo de su población. El texto parte de cómo, a mediados del siglo XIX, las instituciones forales contribuyeron positivamente a la educación en las regiones bajo su jurisdicción (especialmente en Navarra y Álava) y examina cómo, con la consolidación del Estado español en el periodo intersecular, las tensiones entre ambos sistemas derivaron en que los municipios bajo el régimen común alcanzaran mejores resultados educativos que en el periodo anterior. El artículo no sólo evidencia como, una vez más, la educación se convirtió en un campo de disputa en el enfrentamiento político entre las provincias forales y el Estado ―en torno a la conservación o limitación de los privilegios políticos y económicos asociados a los fueros―; sino que también destaca la necesidad de que instituciones y gobiernos realicen un esfuerzo decidido por promover la educación como un pilar fundamental para el desarrollo de su ciudadanía. Adrián Palacios-Mateo es profesor ayudante doctor en el área de Historia e Instituciones Económicas de la Universidad de Zaragoza. Ha realizado su doctorado en Norwegian University of Science and Technology con un proyecto titulado: Educación y recursos naturales en España, siglo XIX y principios del XX. Desde entonces ha publicado en revistas de alto impacto siendo la Educación el eje vehicular de su trayectoria investigadora. Recientemente, ha sido ganador del premio Ramón Carande de la Asociación Española de Historia Económica 2024. Dicho premio se otorga a la mejor propuesta de trabajo de investigación de Historia Económica por el manuscrito titulado "Institutions, State development and Education in Spain during the 19th and early 20th Centuries", y ha sido publicado en el volumen 20, número 3, de la revista Investigaciones de Historia Económica.

Many pepole know Alexander the Great. After all, he conquered most of the known world before the age of twenty-five and was considered a military genius, but few know about his little sister, who contributed to his success. Cleo grew up in a chaotic household with two parents constantly at each other's throats and living in the shadow of her golden child brother. However, when she married into the royal family of Epirus, she was able to exercise her own authority as regent for her husband and son, and she would later work with her mother to keep the peace in Greece while her brother expanded his rule across Asia where he would not have been able to do without her support. Join me in this episode to learn the story of the little sister who supported the Macedonian empire. This Podcast is sponsored by Common Era Jewellery. Use code: AYDEN for 15% off your entire order.

Host Casandra Grundstrom is joined by special guest Professor Lauri Wessel. He holds the chair for Information Management and Digital Transformation at European University Viadrina Frankfurt (Oder) since October 2020 where he serves jointly at the European New School of Digital Studies (ENS) as well as at the Faculty of Business Administration and Economics. Lauri is also an adjunct professor (professor II) of Healthcare Management at the Department of Health Sciences of the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (Ålesund Campus). Lauri is an IS researcher who leverages organization theory in order to understand and design digital transformation.  He thinks that regardless of theory and methods, research always starts with an interest in solving concrete practical problems that arise in organizations and society at large.  His work has been published in core information systems journals such as Journal of the Association for Information Systems, Information Systems Journal, and European Journal of Information Systems.Lauri's podcast episode with 'This IS Research' dealt with inevitable failure that we all face; in this episode, we turn to inspiration and how it can be used in our research. In particular, we draw from Lauri's experience with punk music. While seemingly unrelated, we touch on several key points of punk music and research: methodology, attitude, and affecting change. But how can this inspire us? Tune in to find out.Lauri's recommended punk playlist! References:Davidson, E., Wessel, L., Winter, J. S., & Winter, S. (2023).

It is somewhat paradoxical that the Nordic countries often rank at the top of world happiness surveys. Still, at the same time, many people experience depression and other forms of mental ill-being. Today, we discuss the role that nature-based activities can have for our well-being and discuss a new study that examines the potential of these activities as a lifestyle intervention for well-being and meaning.  Dr. Niels Feddersen holds a Postdoctoral researcher position at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology. He is currently conducting a study exploring nature-based recreational activities (paddle boarding and surfing) as a lifestyle intervention and whether and how these activities could positively contribute to the sense of connectedness to nature, well-being, and meaning in sport. His other research focuses on organizational cultures in elite sports (which was the focus of the first part of this conversation).  You can find more information about the "Fri på Vandet" project on ResearchGate.  And remember to follow Niels on Twitter @niels_NTNU!

In this episode of the Fire Science Show we go in depth on the Building Integrated Photo-Voltaic systems (BIPV). It is a topic relevant to many fire engineers, and one on which it is very difficult to find a lot of information about. For this purpose I've invited Reidar Stølen from RISE and a PhD candidate at Norwegian University of Science and Technology – NTNU.Reidar has hands-on experience with fire testing BIPV façade, as he has performed such experiments with the Swedish test method for a commercial project. The results of the first experiments can be found in this research paper: Large- and small-scale fire test of a building integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) façade system. We go in depth into description of the test sample, the rig and the outcomes of the experiment. Make sure to check the paper for the before and after pictures of the façade!Another paper worth highlighting is the investigation into the Factors Affecting the Fire Safety Design of Photovoltaic Installations Under Performance-Based Regulations in Norway.

Oil sands produce more air pollution than industry's required to report, study says (0:54) The volume of airborne organic carbon pollutants — some of the same pollutants that lead to smog in cities — produced by Alberta's oil sands have been measured at levels up to 6,300 per cent higher than we thought. John Luggio, a research scientist with Environment and Climate Change Canada, said their cutting edge techniques in their new study picked up many pollutants industry hasn't been required to track. Mark Cameron from Pathways Alliance, the industry group representing several oil sands companies, agreed that these findings warrant further review. Megalodon was enormous — but perhaps less husky than we'd thought (9:20) The extinct shark megalodon was likely the largest predatory shark to ever swim the oceans, but a new reconstruction suggests it was not quite the behemoth we thought it was. Scientists had assumed it was beefy and thick like a modern great white shark, but a new study says the evidence suggests it was a slim, sleek killer.Philip Sternes, a PhD candidate at the University of California, Riverside in the department of evolution, ecology and organismal biology, worked with a team of 26 international scientists on the study featured in Palaeontologia Electronica. Astronomers find a planet with a massive, gassy tail (17:46) Observations of a large, Jupiter-sized exoplanet closely orbiting a nearby star have revealed that the planet has a huge, comet-like tail. The 560,000 kilometer-long tail seems to be a result of the powerful stellar wind from the star stripping the atmosphere away from the gaseous planet, and blowing it out into space. The find was made by a team at University of California Los Angeles, including astrophysicist Dakotah Tyler, and was published in The Astrophysical Journal. Put down your laptop, pick up your pen — writing stimulates brain connectivity (26:22) A new study looking at the activation of networks in the brain associated with learning and memory suggests that writing by hand produces much more brain connectivity than typing on a keyboard. This adds to the evidence that writing by hand is an aid to memory. Audrey van der Meer, a professor of neuropsychology and director of the Developmental Neuroscience Laboratory at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, led the work, which was published in Frontiers in Psychology. The aftermath of a record-smashing volcano: Hunga Tonga–Hunga Haʻapai two years later (34:09) The aftermath of the record-smashing Tonga volcano that'll rewrite textbooks Record-smashing Tonga volcano sheds new light on how underwater volcanoes blow In January 2022, the largest underwater volcanic eruption ever recorded devastated the seafloor of the southwestern Pacific. A tsunami washed ashore in nearby Tonga — causing significant property damage, but thankfully taking few lives. Kevin Mackay, a marine geologist from the National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research in New Zealand, said this blast broke many records, including the loudest sound, highest eruption and fastest underwater avalanches ever recorded. And we're still feeling the heating effects from it today from the water vapour it shot into the stratosphere.

This Week In Wellness a Norwegian University of Science and Technology has suggested that the costs associated with overweight individuals in the Norwegian population are even greater than those associated with obesity. And given that 75 percent of men and 61 percent of women were overweight or obese these costs are not insignificant. https://www.news-medical.net/news/20231214/Overweight-not-just-obesity-drives-higher-healthcare-costs-Norwegian-study-finds.aspx The post TWIW 223: Overweight may be a bigger burden than obesity appeared first on The Wellness Couch.

Un modo efficace per evitare errori in medicina è combinare le diagnosi di più medici in una diagnosi collettiva. Il problema è che se ad aggregare più diagnosi indipendenti è un altro medico, il risultato è che è quel medico a fare la diagnosi. Insomma, la diagnosi collettiva è più facile a dirsi che a farsi. Un team di ricerca del Max Planck Institute for Human Development, dell'Istituto di Scienze e Tecnologie della Cognizione del CNR e della Norwegian University of Science and Technology ha pensato di risolvere il problema combinando le diverse diagnosi in modo completamente automatizzato, grazie a un mix di metodi di intelligenza artificiale e di ingegneria della conoscenza. I risultati sono incoraggianti e ce li racconta Vito Trianni, ricercatore del CNR-ISTC.

Finnish biotech startup Enifer has injected new life into an old innovation of Finnish forestry engineers, revitalising the production of mycoproteins from paper industry by-products. They have found strong demand from the pet food sector as in the 1970s and 1980s the product was sold to farmers for their animals, and are now looking also for ways to enter the higher-value-added human food market. "Volumes of protein going into agriculture and pet food are huge. The companies are really looking for alternatives that are more sustainable. But, in general, they just need more, new sources of protein, because those sectors are growing fast and protein production is not really keeping up," co-founder Simo Ellilä said.  In October, researchers at the Norwegian University of Life Sciences (NMBU) published a study showing that farmed fish grow better and healthier with Enifer's PEKILO mycoprotein than with soybeans.  Enifer's proprietary technology can upcycle by-products from diverse agri-, food- and forest industry processes into its PEKILO mycoprotein, which consists of about 65% protein, 15% beta-glucan, 10% fats and minerals, and has a high concentration of vitamin B. Enifer plans to announce the location of its first factory before Christmas. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

As the world faces up to the increasingly apparent effects of climate change, access to accurate information that helps us to understand what's going on, why, and what we can do about it, is vital. But in its efforts to do this, the science community is facing a growing amount of abuse from people who do not believe what they're saying. Anger at the science is leading to threats against the scientists in some cases.

Philip Ringrose discusses his upcoming Distinguished Instructor Short Course, "Storage of Carbon Dioxide in Saline Aquifers – Building confidence by forecasting and monitoring." Interest in carbon capture and storage (CCS) is growing rapidly as a crucial part of global efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere. In this conversation with host Andrew Geary, Philip reviews the science and technology underpinning CO2 storage in deep saline aquifer formations using insights from several industrial-scale projects. Philip also addresses what's needed to achieve climate-significant scales of CCS deployment. Although technically achievable, the current socio-economic framing often makes storage project execution difficult in practice. By building technical confidence in project execution, we may be able to "turn the dial" and realize the gigatonne levels of storage needed over the coming decades. Philip is an excellent guide for understanding CO2 storage, its possibilities and limits, and how to use your geophysical skills to support CO2 projects.

Video: Nothing is more anti-woman than this. Gen Z Refuses to Grow Up | With Dr. Jean Twenge   Tomato extract shows blood thinning potential versus aspirin: Study University of Aberdeen (Scotland), November 23, 2022 A proprietary tomato extract has been shown to thin blood in healthy people – but less severely than aspirin and without typical side-effects. The research – published in the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition concluded the lycopene-free extract “may be appropriate for use as a dietary antiplatelet.” Lead researcher Dr Niamh O'Kennedy working at the Rowett Institute of Nutrition & Health at the University of Aberdeen in Scotland told us the research showed tomato extracts could be used as alternatives to drugs like aspirin for blood thinning. This was especially the case for groups like the elderly who frequently were intolerant of drugs like aspirin typically prescribed for that purpose. “Platelet function is very tricky,” Dr O'Kennedy told us. “If you knock out the platelets it can have a bad effect on the body. And many treatments knock out too much. Some people respond strongly so bad they bleed. ” She added: “Results like this show that people and the medical world should start looking at dietary interventions like these that can have a big impact.” Platelet plugs usually form within 50-100 seconds. The researchers found platelet plugs were formed within 100-150 seconds among tomato extract users, compared to 300-600 seconds for aspirin users. Because of this more gentle effect, Dr Kennedy and her team suggested tomato extract could be a suitable dietary intervention to control platelet hyperactivity which increases with age, the onset of type II diabetes, mellitus, atherosclerosis and other conditions in subjects with low cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk. (Next) Use of penicillin early in life, even in low doses, affects the gut microbiome, contributing to brain inflammation and changes in behavior McMaster University (Ontario), November 18, 2022 It is truly unavoidable to catch a cold or contract a disease, especially with today's lifestyle trends and medical misinformation. A lot of the medicine we use to treat our health conditions may actually cause more harm than good. A St. Joseph's Healthcare Hamilton and McMaster University joint study found that low doses of penicillin administered to pregnant mice and their young results in behavioral changes that have long-term effects. The study, which was published in Nature Communications, reports that the behavioral changes noted in the mice included elevated levels of aggression, characteristic neurochemical changes in the brain, and imbalance in the gut microbiome of the mice. On the bright side, giving the mice a lactobacillus strain of bacteria managed to prevent the effects of the administered penicillin. Low-dose penicillin taken in late pregnancy and early life of mice offspring results in behavioral changes and imbalances in the microbes of the gut. While the tests were done on mice, there are increasing concerns about the long-term effects of antiobiotics in humans, according to Dr. John Bienenstock, director of the Brain-Body Institute at St. Joseph's Healthcare Hamilton and distinguished professor at McMaster University. Large doses of multipurpose antibiotics in adult animals have been shown to affect behavior, but none have been able to test the effects of clinical doses of commonly used antibiotics, such as penicillin, on the bacteria in the gut and in behavior. Almost all babies in North America have received some dose of antibiotics during their first year of life. Researchers are looking into analyzing the effects of the drug on the offspring of the mice if given only to the pregnant mothers (teratogenesis). Penicillin is the first type of medication that is effective against bacterial infections caused by staphylococci and streptococci, but is however, easy to build resistance against. Almost 10 percent of all people around the world are allergic to penicillin. (Next) High-dose vitamin C reduces inflammation in cancer patients, study shows Riordan Clinic (Wichita KS), November 22, 2022 The value and impact of a daily vitamin C supplement as well as high, concentrated doses for acute illnesses is becoming increasingly clear. Studies have already shown the efficacy of liposomal vitamin C in treating infections and as an anti-cancer therapy. Now, another study is confirming its effectiveness against inflammation in cancer patients, one of the primary markers. High levels of inflammation seem to indicate a higher risk of cancer as well as a less hopeful prognosis for healing and recovery. Inflammation impairs the immune system, plays a role in cachexia, lowers toleration of numerous cancer treatments, and generally decreases health and quality of life. This study made use of high-dose intravenous vitamin C (IVC) treatments and analyzed their effects. The results found indicate great promise for the use of high-dose intravenous vitamin C treatments to help reduce inflammation in cancer patients, which is one of the major factors of cancer and its progression. Markers of inflammation such as pro-inflammatory cytokines and C-reactive protein tumor markers showed a positive response to vitamin C treatments, with inflammation reduced significantly. This improvement correlated with reduced tumor size and the hindrance of the cancer's ability to metastasize. Vitamin C is especially valuable in extremely high doses taken either orally or intravenously. A range of cancers have been proven to benefit from vitamin C treatments, including cancers of the prostate, breast, skin, bladder, lung, pancreas, thyroid, and B-cell lymphoma. This research was conducted by Riordan Clinic scientists and published in the Journal of Translational Medicine. When supplementing with liposomal vitamin C orally for major health issues, 10,000 to 12,000 mg per day should be taken. This dose can be taken in 2,000 to 4,000 mg doses gradually throughout the day to aid absorption. (Next) Having trouble sleeping? Try exercise! Norwegian University of Science and Technology, December 1, 2022 The vast majority of people have trouble sleeping from time to time. However, 10 to 20 per cent of the population struggle more than the rest of us and have serious long-term sleep problems. Many people who struggle with insomnia sooner or later resort to some form of sleeping aid. However, one study of more than 34 000 adults would suggest that some of them should exercise instead. “We've observed that people who are in better physical condition have a lower risk of taking prescription sleeping pills,” says Linda Ernstsen, an associate professor at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology's (NTNU) Department of Public Health and Nursing. The researchers reviewed participant data in Norway's large Trøndelag Health Survey (The HUNT study). A total of 240 000 people from Trondheim have taken part in the survey since it began in 1984. Four survey rounds have been carried out to date. “Almost 5800 of the participants received their first prescription sleep medication during the study period,” says Ernstsen. This means that approximately 17 percent of the participants' sleep issues were serious enough to warrant a prescription from their doctor. But the participants who were in the best condition used fewer of these prescription drugs. “These findings suggest that being physically fit can also help you sleep better,” Ernstsen says. Unfortunately, the beneficial effect of exercise is stronger for men than for women. The findings show that the fittest men had a 15 per cent lower risk of needing drugs for troublesome sleep issues. “The corresponding percentage risk for the fittest women was much lower. But women who struggle with sleep can still benefit from getting in better shape,” says Ernstsen. (Next) New study puts gut microbiome at the center of Parkinson's disease pathogenesis University of Alabama at Birmingham, December 1, 2022 New research from the University of Alabama at Birmingham says the gut microbiome is involved in multiple pathways in the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease (PD). The findings, published in Nature Communications, show a wide imbalance in microbiome composition in persons with Parkinson's disease. The study is the largest microbiome study conducted at the highest resolution. The investigators employed metagenomics, the study of genetic material recovered directly from the stool microbiome of persons with PD and neurologically healthy control subjects. “The primary aim of this study was to generate a full, unaltered view of the imbalance in PD gut microbiome,” said Haydeh Payami, Ph.D., professor in the Marnix E. Heersink School of Medicine Department of Neurology and senior author on the study. The study reports Parkinson's disease metagenome is indicative of a disease-promoting microbiome. “We found evidence for multiple mechanisms that we know are linked to PD, but we didn't know they were happening in the gut also and are orchestrated by the microbiome,” Payami said. Investigators found an overabundance of opportunistic pathogens and immunogenic components, which suggest infection and inflammation at play, overproduction of toxic molecules, and overabundance of the bacterial product curli. This induces PD pathology and dysregulation of neurotransmitters, including L-dopa. At the same time, there was a shortage of neuroprotective molecules and anti-inflammatory components, which makes recovery difficult. The researchers studied 257 species of organisms in the microbiome, and of these, analysis indicated 84, more than 30%, were associated with Parkinson's disease. “Of the 84 PD-associated species, 55 had abnormally high abundance in persons with PD, and 29 were depleted,” Payami said. “We found that over 30% of the micro-organisms and bacterial genes and pathways tested have altered abundances in Parkinson's disease, which indicates a widespread imbalance.” At one end of the spectrum, Bifidobacterium dentium was elevated by sevenfold, Actinomyces oris by 6.5-fold and Streptococcus mutans by sixfold. At the other end of the spectrum, Roseburia intestinalis was reduced by 7.5-fold and Blautia wexlerae by fivefold. Overall, 36% of PD-associated species had higher than twofold change in abundance, reflecting a 100% to 750% increase or decrease in PD versus the healthy control group. “This is exciting research, as metagenomics is a new, albeit fast-evolving field, and the resources, methods and tools, while state-of-the-art, are still in development,” Payami said. (Next) Five precepts of Buddhism may be linked to lower depression risk Study suggests the moral practice may buffer known links between high stress levels and depression Chiang Mai University (Thailand) & Károli Gáspár University (Hungary), November 30, 2022 A new study suggests that people with high levels of neuroticism and stress may be at greater risk for depressive symptoms, but those links could be buffered for people who observe the five precepts of Buddhism—a fundamental system of ethics for the religion's followers. The five precepts of Buddhism guide followers not to kill, steal, engage in sexual misconduct, tell ill-intentioned lies, or use intoxicants. Previous research suggests that observing the five precepts can boost wellbeing and quality of life for the general public, including nonserious followers. However, it has been less clear whether the five precepts could ease symptoms of depression for those at higher risk. To address this question, Wongpakaran and colleagues focused on known links between neuroticism, stress, and depression. Prior research has shown that greater neuroticism is associated with greater risk of depression, both directly as well as indirectly through perceived stress—how people think and feel after stressful life events. From late 2019 through September 2022, the researchers conducted an online survey of 644 adults in Thailand. The survey included standard questionnaires to measure each participant's levels of perceived stress, neuroticism, and depressive symptoms, as well as their observance of the five precepts of Buddhism. Statistical analysis of the survey results showed that observing the five precepts to a high degree appeared to buffer the influence of perceived stress on depression. These results suggests that people with high levels of neuroticism and stress may be less likely to develop depressive symptoms if they follow the five precepts closely. The researchers note that, while their study suggests potential benefits for the five precepts in the context of depression, it does not confirm a cause-effect relationship. A large proportion of participants were female and people who lived alone, and participants' religious involvement was unknown, although 93.3% reported that they were Buddhist. More research will be needed to determine whether these findings might extend to the general population of Thailand and beyond, as well as to non-Buddhists. The authors add: “The five precepts practice makes other people feel safe, as all these behaviors are harmless, and it potentially provides the stressful practitioner with a buffer against depression.”

Gaute Einevoll is a professor at the University of Oslo and Norwegian University of Life Sciences. Use develops detailed models of brain networks to use as simulations, so neuroscientists can test their various theories and hypotheses about how networks implement various functions. Thus, the models are tools. The goal is to create models that are multi-level, to test questions at various levels of biological detail; and multi-modal, to predict that handful of signals neuroscientists measure from real brains (something Gaute calls "measurement physics"). We also discuss Gaute's thoughts on Carina Curto's "beautiful vs ugly models", and his reaction to Noah Hutton's In Silico documentary about the Blue Brain and Human Brain projects (Gaute has been funded by the Human Brain Project since its inception).
