A method based on deep learning that can predict the possible onset of Alzheimer’s disease from brain images with precision more than 99 percent It has been developed by researchers from the universities of Kaunas, Lithuania. The method was developed by analyzing functional magnetic resonance images obtained from 138 subjects.

Bisexual Americans had more than double the rates of asthma and other lung diseases than heterosexual adults, according to a new study published in Annals of the American Thoracic Society. The study analyzed data from 12,209 adults in the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health.
Those who subscribe to social darwinism they see the social world as a kind of competitive jungle that requires ruthless competition for limited resources, in which only the “strongest” survive. Social Darwinism includes a negative view of human nature, holding that people are inherently selfish and that cynical manipulation is an acceptable route to get ahead. A new survey study links belief in the concept of Social Darwinism with certain dysfunctional psychological characteristics, such as exploitative attitudes toward others, hostility, and low self-esteem.
People tend to be too inclined to attribute the behavior of others to their permanent characteristics. They always underestimate the power of the situation to force someone to behave in a certain way. Social psychologists call it “fundamental attribution error”.
Our legal and even moral system is based on the notion of free will. We do things wrong or well because we want to do it. Naturally, with the development of technology and psychology we can identify some defenses. For example, if alcohol. Or an episode of mental derangement. As these disciplines develop more, then, we have to deduce that more exceptions will appear, more volitional layers to take into account. Ultimately, we will embrace much more the idea not of a total free will, but a mitigated one. The idea that acts are rarely voluntary (perhaps never will be),…
Despite the fascination with the different colors of human eyes, the underlying explanation is actually quite simple. Eye color is due to two types of pigment: eumelanin (brown-black) and phenomelanin (Red). Thus, in dark eyes there is a lot of eumelanin and in light ones, little. That is, if the eyes look blue it is because of the white collagen fibers in the connective tissue of the iris, which scatter the light and make the iris look blue. In turn, the different shades of brown, blue and green are determined by the thickness and density of the iris and the…
Among the most common symptoms of severe cases of COVID-19 there is a need for patients to be placed on ventilators to ensure that they can continue to receive enough oxygen while breathing. Researchers at Case Western Reserve University have developed an online tool to help medical staff quickly determine which COVID-19 patients will need help breathing with a ventilator. How long does IMMUNITY last if you have passed COVID19 or have just been VACCINATED
On the periodic table There are 118 items, of which, 30, can be bought in stores, such as helium or iron. Another 12 can be obtained by disassembling everyday objects, such as a small sample of americium in a smoke detector. At the bottom of the periodic table are a large number of rare elements called transuranic elements. For a long time, many of them had reference names such as aununio, although little by little they have been assigned definitive names.
Approximately, only 4% of all matter in the universe is visible to us and it is made up of protons, neutrons, and electrons. That is, the type of matter that makes up stars, planets, suns, living beings … It also forms the entire table of elements, and naturally, hydrogen, the most abundant element in the known Universe, and helium, which is the second. However, so far, we have only explained 4% of the universe. Do youWhat is the rest made of?
