Hypothesis of Psychophysical Dynamics of Consciousness

Authors: Mouhamadou Diagne
Comments: 93 Pages.

In this work we have tried to understand the mechanisms of consciousness by means of a certain symbolic representation. It is from this that we arrive at the establishment of mathematical formulae on the dynamic psychophysical mechanisms of consciousness, which can allow an explanation and a mechanistic description of the basic phenomena linked to it, and leading specifically to the concept of the fundamental state of consciousness.The theory thus established is based on concepts developed through mathematical reasoning and a psycho-cognitive approach. It is therefore a reflective theory, none of whose concepts derive from neuroscientific work on the subject. Consequently, it is not particularly necessary to have prior knowledge of neuroscience or any other cognitive science in order to approach it. And although its structure derives from a relatively simple mathematical reasoning, the basis of the work is modelled on a psycho-cognitive interpretation and a particular symbolism that reduces the complexity of the subject and thus justifies the formalism proposed.Although it is a hypothesis, it nonetheless allows us to approach the field of consciousness from a different angle than is usually the case. Isn't it important to have a theory that goes beyond the strict framework of neuroscience in order to unify the various fields of study linked to consciousness, including philosophy, psychology, artificial intelligence and neuroscience itself? In other words, shouldn't the starting point be abstract concepts, where empirical data can serve as evidence? In this way, we can create a junction that will make it easier to understand this complex field.Moreover, not only does this theory touch on the neurocognitive domain, it also offers insights into the understanding of temporal distortion ; suggesting in particular an indirect process of subjective temporal measurement.It is by starting from a psychophysical postulate that we arrive at certain conclusions where neural correlates can constitute a justification. Ultimately, it is more of an explanatory tool of consciousness, making it possible to devise a mechanistic basis for understanding human consciousness, and perhaps any other form of consciousness.

The Unreasonable Effectiveness of Mathematics on Philosophy

Authors: Giovanni Lostumbo
Comments: 3 Pages.

Wigner's 1960 paper "The Unreasonable Effectiveness of Mathematics in the Natural Sciences" is a classical resource fordeveloping new experimental hypotheses. Unlike science, writing is considered a discovery process in itself. Measuring writing as amathematical process would require the most precise of instruments. This paper will instead examine the thought processes of the identityof a writer as a whole, and beliefs or claims such as "writer's block." This paper is not about writer's block for myself, but exploring ameta-analysis of writers' block and identity, and how that might one day be observed using scientific instruments. The paper will alsotheorize the mathematical representation of Sartre's concept of freedom, or "being for-itself", as a curve in a function. Sartre's influence by Husserl's "Cartesian Meditations" and by Descartes are also considered formative.

A Mechanics of Human Attraction?

Authors: Tariq Khan
Comments: 6 Pages. (Note by viXra Admin: Please cite and list scientific references)

A short informal essay discussing the results of two small proof of concept tests on ten male subjects to attempt to identify an algorithmic or mechanical basis for human attraction in the choice of a female partner. One test involved choosing the most attractive female facial image from a random collection of twenty beautiful female faces and comparing its metrics of thirteen attributes to those of facial images of past relationships of each male subject to identify an algorithmic or Bayesian foundation for attraction versus assumed free will. The second test was the presentation of an image of hidden female forms to ten men and ten women as a proof of concept for how to possibly identify how the human male brain identifies female forms and fitness again proposing an epigenetic grammar of forms.

Encoding Specificity as a Function of Working Memory

Authors: Sofia Toney
Comments: 15 Pages.

Encoding specificity is a principle in cognitive psychology that involves the interaction between working memory, short-term memory, and long-term memory. Dissatisfaction with memory quality and a need for more inclusive teaching have prompted intensive research into this subject in recent years. The purpose of this literary review is to examine the practical implications of studies concerning encoding specificity in order to determine the benefit of conscious implementation into learning environments. Testing involved participants creating replicable context at the time of encoding to later be tested at recall. Results of testing revealed a significant improvement in memory retention when participants were tested for recall. In each of the mentioned tests, memory was consistently better when contextual information matched in both encoding and recall. The implications of these findings provide support for the principle’s effectiveness in assisting people of all demographics with improving memory retention.

When Math Meets Neuroscience: Relationships Between Elliptic Curves and Scalp EEG Wave Fronts

Authors: Arturo Tozzi
Comments: 6 Pages.

Elliptic curves are fundamental mathematical objects obeying two-variable equations in which the square of one variable relates to the third power of another. Wondering whether elliptic curves might stand for the abstract counterpart of biological activities, we identified a correspondence between the two-dimensional plots of various elliptic curves and the electric waves detectable on the cortical surface by scalp EEG techniques. Specifically, the patterns described by the intersection of elliptic curves’ three-dimensional contour plots and the two-dimensional projective plane overlap in a few terms of milliseconds with the patterns displayed by two-dimensional cortical EEG wave fronts. Hence, elliptic curvelike mathematical structures might correspond to the dynamical shapes produced by the real brain activity recorded from subjects performing various tasks. We suggest that, apart from the usual applications in physics and cryptography, elliptic curves might theoretically disclose possible equations subtending the anatomical and functional neural routes endowed in the central nervous system.

From Cognitive Psychology to the Theory of Psychological Programs

Authors: Xian Xiang Duan
Comments: 87 Pages. (Correction made by viXra admin)

This article believes that there is a general theory of psychology in various schools of psychology. The establishment of this general psychological theory can be extended from cognitive psychology and cognitive behavioral therapy, and the study of cognitive processes can be extended to all psychological processes. Cognitive behavioral therapy has a "three-step approach", namely: finding the psychological process + describing the psychological process + modifying the psychological process. The article extends this practice to all fields of psychology, so as to establish a general theory of psychology. The article uses a different method from "cognitive psychology analogy to computer structure", compares "psychological process" with computer program, and regards psychological activity as a program. The paper also proposes completely different research methods from the current mainstream psychology, and completely different research methods in physics, namely "introspection" and "physiological observation", but this "introspection" is different from the "introspection" of Wundt. The article believes that the term "psychological process" is not accurate, so it was changed to "psychological program", the real name of the theory is called "psychological program". This paper attempts to reveal through case analysis that psychological activities are a set of programs and that the cause of mental illness is error in operation of the programs or the establishment of erroneous programs. By modifying or learning to use these psychological programs correctly, mental illness can be treated precisely and thoroughly. The complete psychotherapy process is represented by the following: analysis + modification of psychological programs.In order to perform certain tasks, life bodies need to initiate a series of psychological or physiological activities, which is the process of psychological or physiological activities called "psychological program". Psychological program is an abstract concept, and it is not a material entity. The search for psychological activity programs mainly depends on psychological analysis and scientific hypnosis.

Approaching EEG Pathological Spikes in Terms of Solitons

Authors: Arturo Tozzi
Comments: 13 Pages.

A delicate balance between dissipative and nonlinear forces allows traveling waves termed solitons to preserve their shape and energy for long distances without steepen and flatten out. Solitons are so widespread that can generate both destructive waves in oceans’ surface and noise-free message propagation in silica optic fibers. They are naturally observed or artificially produced in countless physical systems at very different coarse-grained scales, from solar winds to Bose-Einstein condensates. We hypothesize that some of the electric oscillations detectable by scalp electroencephalography (EEG) could be assessed in terms of solitons. A nervous spike must fulfill strict mathematical and physical requirements to be termed a soliton. They include the proper physical parameters like wave height, horizontal distance and unchangingshape, the appropriate nonlinear wave equations’ solutions, the correct superposition between sinusoidal and nonsinusoidal waves. After a thorough analytical comparison with the EEG traces available in literature, we argue that solitons bear striking similarities with the electric activity recorded from medical conditions like epilepsies and encephalopathies. Emerging from the noisy background of the normal electric activity, high-amplitude, low frequency EEG soliton-like pathological waves with relatively uniform morphology and duration can be observed, characterized by repeated, stereotyped patterns propagating on the hemispheric surface of the brain over relatively large distances. Apart from the implications for the study of cognitive activities in the healthy brain, the theoretical possibility to treat pathological brain oscillations in terms of solitons has powerful operational implications, suggesting new therapeutical options to counteract their detrimental effects.

The Origin of Observed Soul/spirit and Evils on Near Death Times in a New Quantum Theory of Intelligence

Authors: Alireza Sepehri
Comments: 8 Pages.

Some patients near death time lose ability of speech and see things like spirit; soul and evils. Question arises that if these creatures are real? To response; a team has asked from patients who return from Coma. They have reported similar observations. Also; some of them have claimed that not only saw all events in medium but even communicate with some persons during coma. To test reality; a holography for a sleeping person has been designed. The sleeping person not only saw the predicred scenes of holography but observed more creatures and silent eyes and faces from dead persons. Summing over these considerations; one conclude that a creature has an intelligence. Signature of this intelligence may be seen in quantum scales.This quantum intelligence employs matter and energy and build body of creature.Then; maybe; soul enters to it. Thus; intelligence may be a thing separated of matter. The place of intelligence isnt limitted to brain but brain even makes some errors in process of its communications with medium and remove images that its analyzers diagnose as non reasoning pictures from visible scenes in normal conditions. But; near death; analyzers of brain lose their ability and all creatures even those non reasoning ones could be seen. After body or brain death; intelligence becomes free and could continue its life and communication with other intelligences. But; intelligences that are confined to bodies; see free intelligences with the shape of bodies that they were confined or shape of evils or holy persons. Maybe; in good conditions of medium and space-time; free intelligences employ matters or energies and rebuild creatures again.

Vedas on Cognition of Information

Authors: Basudeba Mishra
Comments: 5 Pages. (Abstract added by viXra Admin as required - Please conform!)

Information is limited data about external systems, duly classified and organized to present a meaningful value. Processing by a machine remains data only and does not become information, because it can’t be utilized without involving a conscious being directly or indirectly. When it is used indirectly (through programming or issuing a command to a machine or worker), it is Artificial Intelligence (worker’s intelligence). Information is differentiation of necessary data from different classes or of the same class or different subset of the same data, by linking the observer and the observed and identifying certain special characteristics, both similarities and differences, for taking measures to achieve the desired goal. It is limited data, because we can’t know everything about some thing. Here, the mechanism of perception has been discussed from the Vedic perspective.

Laws of Taxation for Multicellular Organisms: the Economics of Sleep

Authors: Arturo Tozzi
Comments: 12 Pages.

In macro-public finance, the Ramsey rule (RR) concerns variable taxation to maximize social welfare and economic efficiency in a purely competitive monopolistic system. To extract tax revenue with the least loss of utility to the representative individual, RR dictates that optimal, proportionate taxes should be such as to diminish in the same proportion the production of each commodity taxed. The sources of supply that are inelastic, i.e., necessities/utilities, must be taxed more. We hypothesize that the Ramsey’s economical approach might provide a general mechanism to investigate far-flung biological issues, such as preys/predators dynamics, food restriction in ecological niches, local changes in blood flow in rival or complementary organs of multicellular organisms. In particular, RR suggests a quantifiable relationship between the physiological decrease in cortical spike frequency occurring during sleep and energy consumption. Since small decreases in spike frequency during sleep are correlated with large decreases in the amount of consumed ATP, the brain could be considered an inelastic commodity which can be "taxed" more than other organs, allowing the whole organism to spare energy. Shedding light on the energy budget of the central nervous system, RR improves our knowledge of cerebral perfusion during sensory-evoked responses and tissue hypoxia caused by decreased blood flow, suggesting that energy from outside can be provided to counteract brain ischemia. In sum, the economical approach provided by Ramsey stands for a useful methodological tool that could be used in biological contexts to investigate the dynamical correlations among different organs in multicellular organisms.

Non-sense and Sense: The Brains Duality

Authors: Lachlan Madden
Comments: 70 Pages. (Author name added to article by viXra Admin - Please conform!)

This paper investigates how the brain is modelled, and a hypothesis on a suggested brain model is introduced. The suggested model looks at the world in a generalised way, and puts forth suggested generalised areas, which considers "intelligent sense" to be at the top of the brains structure, which everything stems, and takes into account the possible existence of an "anti-brain". The focus is on what areas of sense there are, and what brain deficits (disorders) are associated with those areas of sense. This paper also investigates how the brain is possibly quantum in nature, and what the quantum mechanisms are for how we think, act, and speak, and so on. The quantum interpretation puts superposition at the heart of the brain and explains what the result of a non-quantum superposition of states will be. This paper also investigates synaesthesia, and an emphasis is put on said condition, suggesting that synaesthesia is crucial to understanding the brain and it’s "unstructured structure", resulting in variation in sensory experience, sometimes for the better and sometimes for the worse. This paper also puts forth the suggestion that maybe everyone has synaesthesia and explains why that is so.

Towards the Physical Description of an Imagined Object

Authors: Arturo Tozzi
Comments: 7 Pages.

Visual imagery (VI) is the mental experience of objects in the absence of their corresponding visual stimuli. Asking whether mental images can be physically quantified, we seek for relationships between visual imagery and special relativity. The Einstein’s account states that, by an observer’s standpoint, an object traveling at light speed is subjected to time dilation and length contraction. We hypothesize that objects are contracted both in the physical framework of Einstein’s relativity due to the light speed, and in the mental framework of VI due to the dilated perception of time. Since the duration of thoughts can be experienced as progressively prolonged, we conjecture, in touch with Einstein’s account, that the VI content must consist of objects undergoing length contraction. In the VI dilated mental time, the object might be experienced as more squeezed than the real object. Our calculations based on Einstein’s equations predict that the longer an object is imagined, the more it is experienced as contracted until it disappears from consciousness. In touch with our hypothesis, review of published data provides evidence that distance estimates are shortened during VI. We suggest to evaluate VI in experimental settings where time is perceived as dilated, such as dreams, hypnosis and opioids intake. While the physical account of Einstein’s special relativity is framed on invariant quantities such as the light speed, the mental experience of VI could be framed on non-invariant quantities, namely, quantities that change according to the subjective standpoint of the observer.

Heretofore Unrecognized Type of Pain Signals from Large Colon May Form Common Link Between Belligerent Behavior Associated with Consumption of Brown Liquors, Colic-Associated Dystemperament, Violence in ASD and Irritability in PMS

Authors: Simon Edwards
Comments: 3 Pages.

Colic-Associated Dystemperament has long been attributed to an emotional reaction to chronic pain rather than what this author believes is responsible: A direct effect of a nerve signal similar to pain that has singular effects upon neural function which, although it is often sent alongside pain signals, may be conveyed to the brain even in the absence of pain signals. While it may be possible that this phenomenon can be explained by the brain gradually changing the way it handles pain signals, I would posit that the pain signals themselves morph with time due to chemical exhaustion of the mitochondria of the cells that make the electrically-active reflector molecules that, when released, cause electrical signals to be bounced back to the brain, leading to the perception of pain. Metabolic exhaustion of the nerve cells in the case of chronic pain result in shortcuts being taken in their manufacturing process, leading to structural changes to the "reflector molecules" resulting in a return signal that is qualitatively different than a traditional pain signal. These signals electrically cue one to become instantly enraged regardless of the actual duration of the pain. Pain signals originating from these "deformed reflectors," rather than having the effects associated with pain e.g. capturing attention and distracting focus away from other tasks, crying for help, and disrupting motor function to prevent further injury, instead provoke extreme anger.

Model of Consciousness

Authors: Hui Liu
Comments: 2 Pages.

The generation of consciousness needs its biological basis, neurons. The number of neurons plays a crucial role. Nematodes only have hundreds of neurons, while humans have about 80 billion neurons. In addition, neurons generate consciousness in some way. The core of this way is two things: excitement and inhibition. We call it biological binary.

A Study of the Neutrosophic Set Significance on Deep Transfer Learning Models: An Experimental Case on a Limited COVID-19 Chest X-Ray Dataset

Authors: Nour Eldeen M. Khalifa, Florentin Smarandache, Mohamed Loey
Comments: 17 Pages.

To test the performance of the conversion to the neutrosophic domain, 36 experimental trails have been conducted and presented. A combination of training and testing strategies have been applied into dataset by splitting it to (90%-10%, 80%-20%, and 70%-30%) accordingly. According to the experimental results, the Indeterminacy (I) neutrosophic domain achieves the highest accuracy possible in the testing accuracy and performance metrics such as Precision, Recall, and F1 Score. The study concludes that using the neutrosophic set with deep learning models may be an encouraging transition to achieve higher testing accuracy, especially with limited datasets such as COVID-19 chest x-ray dataset which is investigated throughout this study.

A Survey on Deep Transfer Learning and Edge Computing for Mitigating the COVID-19 Pandemic

Authors: Abu Sufian, Anirudha Ghosh, Ali Safaa Sadiq, Florentin Smarandache
Comments: 30 Pages.

Global Health sometimes faces pandemics as are currently facing COVID-19 disease. The spreading and infection factors of this disease are very high. A huge number of people from most of the countries are infected within six months from its first report of appearance and it keeps spreading. The required systems are not ready up to some stages for any pandemic; therefore, mitigation with existing capacity becomes necessary. On the other hand, modern-era largely depends on Artificial Intelligence(AI) including Data Science; Deep Learning(DL) is one of the current flag-bearer of these techniques. It could use to mitigate COVID-19 like pandemics in terms of stop spread, diagnosis of the disease, drug & vaccine discovery, treatment, and many more. But this DL requires large datasets as well as powerful computing resources. A shortage of reliable datasets of a running pandemic is a common phenomenon. So, Deep Transfer Learning(DTL) would be effective as it learns from one task and could work on another task. In addition, Edge Devices(ED) such as IoT, Webcam, Drone, Intelligent Medical Equipment, Robot, etc. are very useful in a pandemic situation. These types of equipment make the infrastructures sophisticated and automated which helps to cope with an outbreak. But these are equipped with low computing resources, so, applying DL is also a bit challenging; therefore, DTL also would be effective there. This article scholarly studies the potentiality and challenges of these issues. It has described relevant technical backgrounds and reviews of the related recent state-of-the-art. This article also draws a pipeline of DTL over Edge Computing as a future scope to assist the mitigation of any pandemic.

Roles of Cymatics & Sound Therapy in Spirituality & Consciousness

Authors: Victor Christianto, Kasan Susilo, Florentin Smarandache
Comments: 14 Pages.

Sound is one of the types of waves that can be felt by the sense of hearing. In physics, the definition of sound is something that is produced from objects that vibrate. Objects that produce sound are called sound sources. The sound source will vibrate the molecules into the air around it. Sound is mechanical compression or longitudinal waves that propagate through the medium. This medium or intermediate agent can be liquid, solid, gas. So, sound waves can propagate for example in water, coal, or air. Most sounds are a combination of various vibratory signals composed of harmonic waves, but pure sound can theoretically be explained by oscillating vibrational speed or frequency measured in Hertz (Hz) vibration units and amplitude or loudness of sound with measurements in decibels (dB). The effect sounds can have on us humans is simply astounding. While everyday life becomes stressful, overcrowded and increasingly hectic, we seek ways for inner peace and balance. The power of music, felt through overtone-rich sound therapy and sound massage, can be a solution. No matter how much scientific explanation is behind it, healing through music remains fascinating, even magical. This paper introduces a new field called cymatics and sound healing with their plausible impact to spirituality and consciousness research.

A Case of Remission of Childhood Onset Fluency Disorder by Paroxetine

Authors: Toshiro Takami
Comments: 7 Pages.

We report a case of mild remission of childhood-onset fluency disorder with paroxetine. The patient is a 28-year-old male. His parents had been aware of his childhood-onset fluency disorder since he could remember. He came to our clinic. Medication was started. He started with paroxetine, which was effective. The patient's long-standing childhood-onset fluency disorder became milder and went into remission. After 3 years of continued medication, he stopped taking the drug. More than five years have passed since then, and the patient continues to be in remission. Numerous publications in the U.S. and Europe suggest that paroxetine is a drug that is effective in the treatment of childhood-onset fluency disorder.

Metasystem-Synergetic Approach to the Architectural and "Platform" Organization of the Brain's Neural Network
Метасистемно-синергетический подход к архитектурно-"платформенной" организации нейросети мозга

Authors: Lupu Grigory Leonidovich
Comments: 30 Pages. In Russian and English

The brain is considered as having several homologous meta-levels of organization (neuron substructures, neurons, microcolons, cortical macromodules, "classical" nerve centers, analyzers, the central nervous system of individuals ...), each of which, in its characteristic time range, is arranged and operates as a learning neural network (from the "details" of the previous level of organization) - hierarchical synergetic crystal; on the basis of which various levels are classified: neurostructures, "stages of memory" and their duration, types of higher nervous activity, levels of the psyche and self, and levels of organization of various aspects and manifestations of functioning of neurostructures — an analogue of the "periodic table" for neuroscience. The specificity of the intelligent brain is that it is a system controlled by an auto-interacting process of internal self-observation as such. The physical-cybernetic nature of the subjective-psychic is considered. Consciousness is an autotronic synergasm (neuroinformational resonance) dominant in the modeling of the world by the brain.

Мозг рассматривается как имеющий несколько гомологичных метауровней организации (субструктуры нейрона, нейроны, микроколонки, кортикальные макромодули, "классические" нервные центры, анализаторы, ЦНС индивидов...), каждый из которых в своём диапазоне характеристического времени устроена и работает как обучающаяся нейронная сеть (из "деталей" предыдущего уровня организации) - иерархический синергокристалл; на основании чего классифицированы различные уровни: нейроструктур, "этапов памяти" и их длительности, видов ВНД, уровней психики и "я", и уровней организации различных аспектов и проявлений функционирования нейроструктур — аналог "таблицы Менделеева" для нейронаук. Специфика разумного мозга в том, что он - система, контролируемая аутовзаимодействующим процессом внутреннего самонаблюдения как таковым. Рассмотрена физико-кибернетическая природа субъективно-психического. Сознание — автотронный синергазм (нейроинформационный резонанс) доминанты в моделировании мира мозгом.

A Case of Remission of Childhood-onset Fluency Disorder Induced by Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs) Following Successful Treatment with Benzodiazepines

Authors: Toshiro Takami
Comments: 15 Pages.

We experienced a case in which a benzodiazepine drug was effective for the onset of childhood fluency disorder. Though the case was mild from the infant stage, there was anarthria. The patient developed interpersonal tension just before high school. The patient had been suffering from interpersonal tension, and since coming to our hospital, prescribed a relatively large amount of a benzodiazepine. Then, the benzodiazepine antianxiety agent was accidentally effective for the childhood onset fluent disorder. The possibility in which the case which shows the effect in which the benzodiazepine drug is strong for the childhood onset fluent disorder like this case latently exists is considered. In conclusion, SSRIs (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors) have been shown to reduce the severity of STSS.

On a 16-year Long Persistent Depressive Disorder That Went Into Remission After Fishing

Authors: Toshiro Takami
Comments: 9 Pages. (Corrections made by viXra Admin to conform with the requirements on the Submission Form)

We experienced a 16-year-standing depressive disorder that dramatically went into remission by engaging in fishing. For 16 years, the patient had undergone various treatments, including medication and electroshock therapy, none of which were effective. It was thought that becoming at one with nature, with no mind, led to remission of his persistent depressive disorder. When one is absorbed in fishing, the cares of social life tend to become trivial and no longer bother him orher. This was also thought to have greatly reduced the stress of the patients. It is thought that the modern lifestyle, which is so far removed from the great outdoors, has led to a high incidence of depressive disorders and other mental disorders. The "chi" of the sea was thought to have caused remission of prolonged depressive disorder.

Universal Grammar, the Mirror Universe Hypothesis and Kinesiological Thinking

Authors: Stephen P. Smith
Comments: 19 Pages.

A semiotics is presented based on the kinesiological movement of vision that carries three categories, coming as a projection, reflection and a middle-term that joins the two. This is presented as a mirror universe cosmology in terms of both metaphysics (ontology) and science (physics and cosmology). The key hypothesis is that the metaphysical and the physical cosmologies are the same, and Cartesian dualism can be replaced by a panpsychism that is non-dual but admits to a property dualism carried by the apparent two-sidedness that is foundational for the mirror universe cosmology. Gravity it all its forms, and the plurality of emotions, come with valences that source the middle-term and relate to both navigation and innate memories. With this theory evolution is driven by the valences that source the middle-term, and hence, the triadic structure of the mirror cosmology acts as a strange attraction and will leave like-looking artifacts on the substrate of evolution, biological development and psychology. Finding such artifacts constitutes empirical evidence in support of the theory. Very significant empirical support is presented from the fields of biology, and neuropsychology. Nevertheless, the universal grammar carried by kinesiological thinking is self-limiting and only describes a mode of inquiry.

Color Afterimages as Innate Memories as Hypothesized by the Mirror Universe Theory

Authors: Stephen P. Smith
Comments: 9 Pages.

This paper considers two explanations for negative color afterimages: that they are the result of overstimulation of the retina, or that they are a result of training and are part of an innate memory that begins in the retina. Moreover, the innate memory hypothesis comes with an additional speculation that innate memories are part of a mirror universe and have a panpsychist origin. By measuring the duration in one person’s experience it was found that a 40-second exposure to blue comes with a yellow afterimage that lasted 35 seconds. This was only 4 seconds longer than the afterimage that followed eight 5-second showings of blue that were separated by seven 5-second refractory periods that showed white light. That is, the skimpy 4 seconds did not impress given the claim that overstimulation causes afterimages and given the whopping 35 seconds (7×5) of refractory time allotted to the alternative. Because the seven refractory periods also came with afterimages, the cumulative duration of afterimages was actually 66 seconds and this provides a stronger contradiction of the explanation based on overstimulation. Furthermore, a 5-second showing of blue generated a 10-second afterimage, a 200% increase over the showing of blue. However, with more stimulation the 40-second showing of blue generated an afterimage that was only 87.5% as long as the stimulation time. Taken together, these demonstrations marginally support the memory explanation, but there remains room to disagree.

Electroencephalogram: Code of Soul

Authors: Zuodong Sun
Comments: 3 Pages.

Bioelectricity is the basic feature of life activities. Our brain produces brain waves all the time. Theoretically, brain waves should never disappear, and will always "float" in the universe. Brain wave is a kind of biological electromagnetic wave, which should be the carrier of mind, consciousness or soul. Its material basis is human body, brain, brain cells and ions inside and outside cells. It can be seen that the ancients said that there are gods three feet above the ground, as well as the so-called reincarnation, reincarnation, telepathy, and karma, there is a certain scientific reason.

A Series of Unconscious Perceptions In the Brain Traced Back to the Origin of Consciousness

Authors: Ma Curtis York
Comments: 10 Pages.

The noetic motion of the origin of consciousness is postulated by many long before and after me. Presenting you this paper, a theory concerning the relationship of unconscious perceptions and the origin of consciousness. I define unconscious perceptions as automated strings of code running in the background, making the brain a quantum computer. I provide to you an Imagination Survey that proves consciousness exists because of a combination of unconscious perception and reality. The Survey I give incorporates the idea of the self with the cognitive phenomenon of comparison. The Survey shows that consciousness depends on something to compare to and that we can only compare ourselves to ourselves. This mechanic is explained when we direct our attention to the world - the world perceives us perceiving it. The answer to the origin of consciousness could be traced back from two reasons. The intuitive subject of the “self” is no different to unconscious perception. Unconscious perceptions are a series of real time inputs in the brain that run in the background, which enable us to phase through various conscious states while being tangent to any reality. We fluctuate between Subjective to Objective and vice versa, while perceivers like me feel attracted and repelled. Drawn attention (objective) when feeling attracted, (subjective) emotional when we are repelled. Unconscious perceptions in the brain drive the fluctuation of conscious states. Human conscious is solely driven unconsciously. Developing the survey into a more grandiose experiment combined with future studies on unconscious perceptions could lead us to a greater understanding of the origin of consciousness.

Hydro-Magnetic Catalyst Part I: Qualia, Quantillium and Stream of Consciousness. a New Paradigm for Neuroscience with Preliminary Experimental Data

Authors: Carlino Christian Francesco
Comments: 26 Pages.

Following work deals with the realization of an experimental setup called Hydro-Magnetic Catalyst (HMC) which has allowed to provide early experimental results useful for the study of the origin of consciousness and subjective experience. The proposal starts by two main assertions: 1) neurons are not binding for the presence of consciousness and are not repositories thereof; 2) water content distinguishes living systems from non-living systems and, interacting with low intensity magnetic fields, can leads to particular emergent features. Experimental results demonstrate that: - the interaction between vicinal water and magnetic fields oscillating with frequency in the alpha and beta range is fundamental for the qualitative perception of stimuli from the external environment (qualia). This perception can be measured by means of a new index called Quantillium (Ql). - neurons and neuronal networks are not the repositories of consciousness and subjective experience. They constitute the information decoding hardware. This decoding is mostly digital, but passive properties of the neuronal cells and their interconnections allow for a digital-to-analog reconversion of the signal with a system similar to the r-ladder one. This analog signal could be responsible for the transmission of information to the aqueous environment, for their amplification through feedback phenomena, and for the perception, during waking state, of qualia and continuous thought flow.

General Principle of Psychodichotomy

Authors: Ma Curtis York
Comments: 11 Pages.

The noetic motion of the origin of consciousness is postulated by many long before and after me. Until this day, not one theory has cemented itself above all its competitors. Presenting you the Principles of Psychodichotmy, a theory concerning the origin of consciousness. I provide to you an imagination experiment that proves consciousness cannot be solely in the brain. Our consciousness depends on something to compare to and that we can only compare ourselves to ourselves. I give a convincing argument for a binary idealistic theory of consciousness. This theory is analogous to the 4E theory of cognition. However, I differ in concluding that we can divide reality into emotion. As we fluctuate between Subjective to Objective and vice versa, what draws our attention must deterministically understand we would perceive it. Whatever mathematical law that governs our universe, it must be actively looking for perceivers like me to attract and repel. Drawing our attention (objective) when attracted, (subjective) emotional when we are repelled. Unconscious processes in the brain drive the fluctuation of conscious states. Attracted to the tangent of reality gives these two states a probability. I conclude that we live in a removable discontinuity and both objective and subjective states can define our existence. Further applications, i.e. mathematical models, mathematical philosophy.

A Dictionary of Plant Sciences by Michael Allaby and the Graphical Law

Authors: Anindya Kumar Biswas
Comments: 19 Pages.

We study A Dictionary of Plant Sciences, the fourth edition, by Michael Allaby from the Oxford University Press. We draw the natural logarithm of the number of entries, normalised, starting with a letter vs the natural logarithm of the rank of the letter, normalised. We conclude that the Dictionary can be characterised by BP(4, $\beta H=0.02$), i.e. the Bethe-Peierls curve in the presence of four nearest neighbours and little external magnetic field, $\beta H= 0.02$. $\beta$ is $\frac{1}{k_{B}T}$ where, T is temperature and $k_{B}$ is the tiny Boltzmann constant. This is the case with A Dictionary Of Psychology by A. M. Colman from the Oxford University Press we have studied before. It appears that the branch of Plant Sciences is tantalizingly closer to the branch of Psychology, internally.

Paraphrasing Magritte’s Observation

Authors: Jesus Malo Lopez
Comments: 4 Pages. Keywords: Visual stimulus generation, Image representation in Surrealism, Cartoon-like images.

Contrast Sensitivity of the human visual system can be explained from certain low-level vision tasks (like retinal noise and optical blur removal), but not from others (like chromatic adaptation or pure reconstruction after simple bottlenecks). This conclusion still holds even under substantial change in stimulus statistics, as for instance considering cartoon-like images as opposed to natural images (Li, Gomez-Villa, Bertalmio, & Malo, 2022). In this note we present a method to generate original cartoon-like images compatible with the statistical training used in (Li et al., 2022). Following the classical observation in (Magritte, 1929), the stimuli generated by the proposed method certainly are not what they represent: Ceci n’est pas une pipe. The clear distinction between representation (the stimuli generated by the proposed method) and reality (the actual object) avoids eventual problems for the use of the generated stimuli in academic, non-profit, publications.

Unusual Mathematical Approaches to Nervous Dynamics

Authors: Arturo Tozzi
Comments: 17 Pages.

The massive amount of available neurodata suggests the existence of a mathematical backbone underlying the intricate oscillatory activity of the brain. Hidden, unexpected multidisciplinary relationships can be found when mathematics copes with neural phenomena, leading to novel answers for everlasting neuroscientific questions. We elucidate how and why underrated notions from geometry, topology, group theory/category theory are useful to describe neuronal issues and to provide a series of experimentally testable hypotheses. Once established that geometric constraints are powerful enough to define cellular distribution and drive the embryonal development of the central nervous system, we suggest that the Monge’s theorem might contribute to our visual ability of depth perception and that the brain connectome can be tackled in terms of tunnelling nanotubes. Further, we contend that the human mind does not perceive the topological findings of visual images and that the multisynaptic ascending fibers connecting the peripheral receptors to the neocortical areas can be assessed in terms of mathematical approaches like knot theory and braid groups. We show how presheaves from category theory permit to tackle the nervous phase spaces in terms of the theory of infinity categories, highlighting an approach based on equivalence rather than equality. The last, but not the least, we advocate that the far-flung field of soft-matter polymers/nematic colloids might shed new light on the neurulation in mammalian embryos and hypothesize that the development of the central and peripheral nervous systems might be correlated with the occurrence of local thermal changes in embryo-fetal tissues.

The Mind/Brain Question, Problem, Quandary, Conundrum

Authors: David Martin Degner
Comments: 4 Pages.

The human brain is obviously some kind of computer. In this paper I propose a simple, novel, and admittedly speculative, model, or architecture, that illuminates how this mysterious computer works. I offer a scientific foundation for understanding the problem of consciousness. There are profound implications to understanding the operation of the physical brain that gives rise to the human mind in all its manifold phenomena. The “homunculus”, that I introduce and define in this paper, will become the most interesting functional part of the brain, having to do with the subconscious, free will, parallel processing, psychoanalysis, dreams, meditation, being, and self.

For Consciousness there are two main schools of thought, the theological and the scientific, with philosophy exploring the gap. Theology for the most part has been willing to let sleeping dogs lie; but there is a growing movement to scientifically understand Consciousness (Awareness) started initially because of problems related to the role of the observer in empirical measurement. The scope of the question is broader now: Man’s place in the cosmos, the basis of evolution, what is life, why are we here, are we alone, is there life after death, is there free agency, is creation ex nihilo?

Tendency of Mass People to Misunderstand (Intentionally or Not) the Agony of the Psychiatric Patient and Tormenting Them as a Subject of Mockery with an Emphasize on Somatic-Symptom Disorder

Authors: Deep Bhattacharjee
Comments: 2 Pages, Psychology, Cognitive Sciences, Mental Disorders, Social Awareness

Psychiatric disorders’ or as emphasized in the paper in the form of somatic-symptom disorder, a sub-category of Schizophrenia has been from the ancient of the human civilization, when the medicinal approach and treatment of the subject hasn’t been developed yet, the notion of the affected subject to be under some spiritual subjugation has automatically been implied on the minds of the people which leads to immense torture and torment of the subject by the society. However, in the modern medical scenario, the situation has shifted from spiritual/evilness to the extreme derision where it has been already implied on the healthy societies brain that, the subject is intentionally acting like a patient or it’s a ‘disease of the mind’ with no associated physical pain which being attributed to the tendency of late diagnosis and recovery, makes the subject a sheer block of ‘sarcasm’ among the healthy society where they tries their best to make ‘the fun out of him’ as regards to his continuous pain and suffering. This generally amplified by the delay in the starting of the treatment for the difficulty of the doctors to diagnose the disease, as not so developed instruments are still in their infancy to detect and derelict the mental disorders, where in most of the time, the golden period of diagnosis is either over or even if psychiatric treatment is initiated can lead to a more defocused effects as doctors itself finds it difficult to approach the right medicine to the disordered person, where, in case, they have to go from one doctor to another in the risk of a trial and error effect.

An Introduction to Cartesian Interactive Dualism

Authors: Richard L Amoroso
Comments: 135 Pages. Preprint excerpt: Complementarity of Mind and Body: Realizing the Dream of Descartes, Einstein and Eccles, 2012, NOVA Science Publishers

The noetic model of Cartesian interactive dualism is the first mind-body theory of any kind to explain qualia in physical, rather than just philosophical terms. The formal delineation of the life principle or élan vital explains not only the origin of self-organization in complex living systems, providing the basis for the first comprehensive dualist theory, but also is what makes the model empirically testable allowing this volume to make history. The floodgates seem about to open to almost unimaginable advances in the field of consciousness studies. This monograph introduces a comprehensive empirically testable model of dualism-interactionism to legitimize the interactionist model at a level tantamount to any other avenue of epistemological investigation of the mind-body problem.

H63D syndrome is a phenotype of a homozygous mutation of the HFE gene H63D, which is otherwise known to cause at most mild classical hemochromatosis. H63D syndrome leads to an iron overload in the body (especially in the brain, heart, liver, skin and male gonads) in the form of non-transferrin bound iron (NTBI) poisoning. Hallmark symptoms and causal factor for H63D syndrome is a mild hypotransferrinemia with transferrin saturation values >50%. H63D syndrome is an incurable multi-organ disease, leading to permanent disability. Our objective was to detect the prevalence of narcolepsy and narcolepsy with cataplexy in patients with H63D syndrome.

Psychedelics and Their Efficacies in Therapies When Compared to Traditional Pharmaceuticals

Authors: Maxine Caldera
Comments: 24 Pages. [Corrections made by viXra Admin to conform with scholarly norm]

Psychedelics have gained a long history of stigmatization from both political and sociological outcries as being an addictive drug with potentially dangerous, or even deadly, side effects. This is generally considered the most crucial reason for the drastic decrease in, if not altogether halting, the research of the benefits or possible methods and applications of psychedelics in the treatment of mental disorders. Despite this long and bleak history, with the recent passing of legislation to ease restrictions, largely due to a slow yet meticulous research that is once again shedding light on the efficacy of psychedelics at treating mental health disorders, such as PTSD, anxiety, and depression. Psychedelics are once again gaining a more positive force in the mental health community and the public writ large. Current research, like those studies that aided in lifting of government restrictions, is starting to gain enough of a basis to allow for the comparing of the effectiveness of psychedelics to traditional drug treatment for mental health.

Nasal Secretion Insufficiency Syndrome (a New Concept of Ozena)

Authors: Toshiro Takami
Comments: 5 Pages.

The patient complained of nasal odor and was referred to a psychiatrist by the Department of Otolaryngology as a case of olfactory reference syndrome. The patient had a strong nasal odor. The doctor denied the existence of atrophic rhinitis and ozena. If you look around the internet, there are many who suffer from similar conditions. Almost all of them complain of an unusually dry nose. It was thought that Pseudomonas aeruginosa or some fungus grew abnormally in the devastated nasal mucosa of the endogenous nasal cavity, and due to inadequate nasal secretion, the bacterial metabolites could not be forced down the throat or other parts of the body, giving off a strong nasal odor. This disorder is often neglected or diagnosed by psychiatrists as olfactory reference syndrome. The term "nasal secretion insufficiency syndrome" is used to describe this condition. This is a new concept of ozena. It is a newer concept of atrophic rhinitis and ozena, which remains unnoticed, partly because there is no crusting or atrophy of the native nasal cavity, and partly because endoscopy reveals only the devastation of the nasal mucosa, and partly because it is hidden behind the veil of atrophic rhinitis and ozena. In all 7 cases, salivary stimulants weakened the odor, albeit temporarily.

Dissociation Between Speech and Writing and Orthographic Autonomy

Authors: Shazia Tahira
Comments: 10 Pages.

It is usually assumed that written word is dependent upon spoken word and in aphasia and similar disorders, speech and written components are equally affected. But there are many cases where it can be seen that its not always the same and speech and written components are many a times differently affected. Obligatory phonological mediation hypothesis and orthographic autonomy hypothesis represent these conflicting perspectives. According to the obligatory phonological mediation hypothesis, written language necessarily involves phonological mediation and is entirely dependent upon spoken language. The semantic system activates the phonological form of a word, which then activates the corresponding orthographic representation. In contrast, the orthographic autonomy hypothesis posits that the lexical orthographic representations of words can be accessed without any necessary phonological mediation and can be directly activated from the semantic system. The obligatory phonological mediation and orthographic autonomy hypotheses predicts differently the possible effects of brain damage on written naming. On the basis of the phonological mediation hypothesis, an impairment at the level of the phonological lexicon should always affect both spoken and written naming and in double naming tasks, the word selected for a written response should always correspond to the one selected for a spoken output. But on the basis of orthographic autonomy hypothesis, the orthographic lexicon can be accessed directly from semantics therefore it should be possible to observe cases with impaired spoken naming due to damage to the phonological lexicon with no written naming deficit and double naming tasks in spoken and written modalities may give rise to lexically inconsistent responses. In support of this view, a number of cases showing dissociation in phonological lexical forms and orthographic forms including spared knowledge of orthographic forms despite an impairment affecting phonological lexical forms with intact articulatory abilities or lexically inconsistent responses in consecutive double naming tasks in different modalities of writing and speech have been reported across a number of languages. Here, different case studies showing dissociation in phonological lexical forms (spoken speech) and orthographic forms (writing) are reviewed providing evidence that access to the orthographic form of words can occur independently.

Mental Illness Prevalence Zone: A Study of The Goto Islands

Authors: Toshiro Takami
Comments: 8 Pages.

The Goto Islands, which belong to Nagasaki Prefecture, the westernmost part of Japan, and the islands of the western tip of Nagasaki facing the Goto Sea, are a region with a high incidence of mental disorders such as schizophrenia. It is estimated, in the author's experience, to be five times higher than the national average. Some argue that this is because the islands are a closed, unique world. However, there have been no reports of the islands of Japan being a zone of high incidence of mental illness. Nor do they live on Gotō, only where they are from, that is, where their ancestors - themselves, their parents, their grandparents, or their great-grandparents - were born.  It could be that some virus, spirochete, or something else is involved. However, the Goto Islands and the islands of the western end of Nagasaki facing the Goto Sea are highly endemic for the retrovirus ATRV (adult T-cell leukemia virus). However, there are other regions in Japan where the adult T-cell leukemia virus (ATLV) is highly endemic, such as the Goto Islands and the islands of the western end of Nagasaki facing the Goto Sea. There are no reports of a high incidence of schizophrenia or other psychiatric disorders in these regions.  The Goto Islands and the islands of the western tip of Nagasaki facing the Goto Sea contain a large number of genes that are inserted into the genes by retroviruses and predispose to mental illnesses such as schizophrenia.

Cross Effects of Neurofibromatosis Type 1

Authors: Toshiro Takami
Comments: 11 Pages. Presented as a preprint

I statistically analyzed 27 patients with neurofibromatosis type 1. Since the 1930's, it has been said that the neurofibromatosis type 1 born to affected mothers is very serious. It is called "maternal effect". But many are against the opinion. The result of my examination is as follows. The male case from affected mother and the female case from affected father have extremely possibility of having malignant tumors. The male cases from affected father and the female case from affected mather and those who were sporadic case didn't have malignant tumors. They were all benign. "When the tumor is found in the male case from affected mother or female case from affected father, it is extremery much possibility of having malignant tumors." I newly name it "cross effect".

A Case of Complete Remission of Childhood-onset Fluency Disorder after a Long-term, Relatively High Dose of Fluoxetine

Authors: Toshiro Takami
Comments: 7 Pages.

A case of complete remission of childhood-onset fluency disorder was reported in a patient who took fluoxetine privately to overcome social anxiety disorder. All reports of childhood- onset fluency disorder in Europe and the U.S. have shown temporary effects only while the patient was taking the drug, and all of them have relapsed after stopping the drug, and there have been no reports of complete remission. We present this case as an extremely remarkable case.

A Case of Childhood-onset Fluency Disorder Reduced by Escitalopram

Authors: Toshiro Takami
Comments: 4 Pages.

We experience a case of childhood-onset fluency disorder mildly affected by escitalopram. The case is 28 years old, male, with no close relatives with childhood onset fluency disorder. His parents had been aware of his stuttering since childhood and he had been treated by a speech therapist with no effect. She came to our clinic. She was started on medication. The patient started medication. In the beginning, she had no progress and failed, but paroxetine responded. The patient's longstanding stuttering almost disappeared. However, the patient dislikes sexual dysfunction and stops taking it on his own. The stuttering flared up, but the stuttering is now well controlled with escitalopram. He has been on escitalopram continuously as he relapses when he stops the drug. He is also experiencing sexual dysfunction that is being treated with sildenafil.

Сны, как они есть (Dreams as They Are)

Authors: Roman Vanovsky
Comments: 36 Pages.

Моделирование проблем, страхов, желаний сновидца - одна из главных, если не важнейшая задача, над которой работают сновидения. При этом не важно, как рассматривать сон, как аллегорию или как прямой текст. К такому выводу приходит автор, записавший более 4 тысяч собственных снов и несколько сотен снов близких ему людей. Рассматривается проблема повторяющихся снов, вводится понятие рейтинга главных элементов; персонажей, мест действия, страхов. Материал изложен в занимательной форме. (Modeling the problems, fears, desires of the dreamer is one of the main, if not the most important task that dreams work on. It does not matter how to view the dream as an allegory or as a direct text. The author comes to this conclusion, having recorded more than 4 thousand of his own dreams and several hundred dreams of people close to him. The problem of recurring dreams is considered, the concept of the rating of the main elements is introduced; characters, scenes, fears. The material is presented in an entertaining manner.)

This is a rough draft attempt on a Theory of Everything. It begins with a self evident idea at its core. The models within attempt to encompass all perspectives of reality while still taking into account our empirical observations of space-time. My hypothesis outlined on page 7 makes predictions about what certain subjective conscious experiences will "feel" like.

Nasal Secretion Deficiency Syndrome (Dry Rhinitis)

Authors: Toshiro Takami
Comments: 14 Pages.

An example in which a patient was referred to a psychiatrist by the otolaryngologist for olfactory reference syndrome. The case actually had a strong nasal smell. I name the following condition as nasal secretion deficiency syndrome. This is a new concept of ozena. No abnormalities were found on computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) , but only a rough nasal mucosa was observed with endoscope. If look over the Internet, many people suffer from similar condition. Almost all complain of an abnormally dry nose. Although the frequency of this disease is high, it has been diagnosed as olfactory reference syndrome. There was no crusting and atrophy of nasal cavity, and only nasal mucosa was found to be degraded by an endoscope. Because it was hidden by a veil of atrophic rhinitis and ozena, it was overlooked and now overlooking conditions. It can be said that all women at least have olfactory reference syndrome. The excretion of bacteria stays on the nasal mucosa, and emits a bad smell. It is mainly caused by chronic rhinosinusitis, but may also be caused by other causes. Many people say that it gets worse during the cold and dry season. The underlying cause of this condition is lack of secretion of runny nose. The devastation of the nasal mucosa of nasal cavity, goblet cells that produce nasal secretions are damaged, the organization of nasal secretions is strongly reduced.

Pitch Inverted Songs as Affirmation of Panpsychism Based On A Theoretical Mirror Universe

Authors: Stephen P. Smith
Comments: 15 Pages.

Every song that carries a melody can be pitch inverted to uncover a dual song that is different to the original song and where the pitch-inverted melody also relates to our emotions. This is creating music for the minor cost of pitch inversion, and without a lot of creativity beyond technical skills. The principle is demonstrated on 50 songs, with 100% success. As a general principle this implicates a reflective property that is necessarily part of human psychology. Moreover, this discovery affirms the belief in panpsychism where the reflexive property is active as part of a broader mirror universe.

A Case of Remission of Childhood-Onset Fluency by Paroxetine

Authors: Toshiro Takami
Comments: 3 Pages.

When I was about 4 or 5 years old, I was aware of childhood onset fluency. He was treated by a speech therapist in elementary school, but was discontinued after one year with no effect. Personality is serious, honest and friendly. It is a character that is liked by people. He was a medium-thick man and did not perform very well in school. He was suffering from childhood-onset fluency during elementary school and junior high school. After graduating from high school, a local parent found a job at a small car repair shop, which was a distant relative. I've been working for two years without any problems (no "bullying" due to small repair shop). At the age of 20, he visited the hospital after seeing a statement on the Internet that childhood-onset fluency was cured by SSRI (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor). Start with Escitalopram 10mg / day. This dose was taken for one month and the symptoms were slightly reduced, but the case was changed to sertraline 3,5) in hope of a more effective drug. However, sertraline did not work at all, and there was a tendency to worsen. Drug modified to paroxetine. This has been effective, and the disease has continued to be milder and can be said to be in remission. Because she tends to relapse when she stops taking the drug, she continues to take 10 mg / day (currently about 1 year and 8 months after the first dose). Now he is so mild that he cannot feel any fluency at all.

Various components of the maintenance mode correspond to the main modern hypotheses of function of a sleeping (of various authors), that allows to conclude about the uniting function of the author's synthetic hypothesis (which is giving an engineering and cybernetic comprehension of vital need of a sleeping, and the it's reasons).

A Case that Had Been Diagnosed as Having a Nasal Odor and Fearing Self-Odor

Authors: Toshiro Takami
Comments: 10 Pages.

An example in which a patient was referred to a psychiatric referral by the Otolaryngologist for a fear of self-odor due to a nasal smell is shown below. The case actually had a strong nasal smell. Otorhinolaryngology has ruled out malodorous diseases such as atrophic rhinitis. と If you look over the Internet, many people suffer from similar illness. Almost all complain of an abnormally dry nose. Staphylococcus aureus grows abnormally in the devastated nasal nasal mucosa, and in the warm season, Pseudomonas aeruginosa abnormally grows in the nasopharynx. It was not possible, and it was considered that he had a strong nasal smell. It was also considered that Staphylococcus lugdunensis, which produces a substance that prevents the growth of Staphylococcus aureus, was not present. However, it is thought that Pseudomonas aeruginosa abnormally grows in the warm season because blue mucus comes out when you wake up in the morning and spit in the washroom. Although the frequency of this disease is high, it has been diagnosed as a fear of self-odor by neglect or psychiatry. Named nasal secretion deficiency syndrome. This is a new concept of nose disease. There was no crusting and atrophy of the proper nasal cavity, and only nasal mucosa was found to be degraded by an endoscope.Because it was hidden by a veil of atrophic rhinitis and odorous nose, it was not noticed or noticed. Not considered a serious illness. Many people say that it gets worse during the cold and dry season. However, a small crust is formed near the posterior part of the middle turbinate, and it is also conceivable that the odor is giving off the odor. It can be said that all women at least have self-odor fear.

About Persistent Depressive Disorder for 16 Years After Remission by Fishing

Authors: Toshiro Takami
Comments: 6 Pages.

I experienced a depressive disorder for 16 years that has dramatically remissioned by fishing. The patient has received various treatments such as drug therapy and electric shock therapy for 16 years, but none has been effective. It was thought that uniting with nature without a heart led to remission of persistent depressive disorder. If you are enthusiastic about fishing, the annoyance of social life becomes trivial and you tend not to worry. This was thought to have greatly reduced the stress of the cases. It was thought that the modern life that departed from nature caused frequent mental disorders such as depressive disorder. It was thought that the “Ki” of the sea ameliorated the persistent depressive disorder.

Changing Consciousness Epistemically (Chance): an Empirical Method to Convert the Subjective Content of Consciousness Into Scientific Data

Authors: Daisuke Tanaka
Comments: 11 Pages.

The content of consciousness (cC) constitutes an essential part of human life and is at the very heart of the hard problem of consciousness. The cC of a person (e.g., study participant) has been examined indirectly by evaluating the person’s behavioral reports, bodily signs, or neural signals. However, the measures do not reflect the full spectrum of the person’s cC. In this paper, we define a method, called “CHANging Consciousness Epistemically” (CHANCE), to consciously experience a cC that would be identical to that experienced by another person, and thus directly know the entire spectrum of the other’s cC. In addition, the ontologically subjective knowledge about a person’s cC may be considered epistemically objective and scientific data. The CHANCE method comprises two empirical steps: (1) identifying the minimally sufficient, content-specific neural correlates of consciousness (mscNCC) and (2) reproducing a specific mscNCC in different brains.

Optional Cause to Alzheimer Disease: Too High Screening of the Electromagnetic Mutual-Inductance Between Axons in the Brain

Authors: Israel Fried
Comments: 23 Pages.

Electromagnetic (EM) self-inductance of a single axon about itself was measured and show no significant influence on the electric conductance in the axon (Scott 1971). Recent works regard EM mutual inductance (EMMI) between parts of the same axon. AS far as I know, there is no work regarding EMMI between different axons. Here suggested a theoretical option that too high screening of EMMI between many axons in the brain causes to the Alzheimer disease (AD). Accordingly, suggested theoretical options for preventing AD and using EEG for monitoring EMMI shielding, and thus, AD status. Also, suggested research methods for proving EEMI between multi myelinated axons and its screening. Also suggested to measure the memory of many million people during a major geomagnetic storm on Earth due to sun eruption, in order to find out the level of shielding in many million people and getting alarm, years before the common signs of AD appears, and start active actions to prevent AD. Note: Since the ideas in this article are theoretical, yet without laboratory research, one should not regard these ideas as clinical suggestions.

[29] Applying AI know-how to the giant pool of data gathered from the world's leading and most powerful scientific instruments could accelerate the process of scientific discovery. [28] Scientists from the University of Oxford, in collaboration with University of Basel and Lancaster University, have developed an algorithm that can be used to measure quantum dots automatically. [27] A research team from the RIKEN Center for Advanced Intelligence Project (AIP) has successfully developed a new method for machine learning that allows an AI to make classifications without what is known as "negative data," a finding which could lead to wider application to a variety of classification tasks.

Other Plausible Mechanisms of Anesthetic Action Within the Framework of Spin-Mediated Consciousness Theory

Authors: Huping Hu, Maoxin Wu
Comments: 22 Pages. To be submitted for publication

We have recently discussed the mechanism of xenon anesthetic action in spin-mediated consciousness theory in light of the recent experimental findings. In this paper, we discuss some other plausible mechanisms of anesthetic action within the framework of spin-mediated consciousness theory. In one scenario, general anesthetics such as xenon may produce anesthesia by direct perturbations and/or distortions of neural spin networks alone or in addition to perturbing and/or distorting O2 and/or NO pathways in neural membranes and proteins. In another scenario, the mind-pixels are comprised of unpaired electrons carried by transition metal ions, O2 and/or NO caged-in/bound/absorbed to large molecules in neural membranes and proteins. In the latter, general anesthetics such as xenon may produce anesthesia by perturbing free/unbound O2 and/or NO pathways in neural membranes and proteins and/or unpaired electron spin networks thus blocking and/or distorting their functions in consciousness. In either of the above scenarios, the nuclear spins of xenon 131 and xenon 129 may partially play the roles of displaced nuclear spins or unpaired electron spins, thus attenuate the anesthetic potency of nuclear-spin-carrying xenon isotopes observed by Li, et. al.

Mechanism of Xenon Anesthetic Action in Spin-mediated Consciousness Theory & Its Experimental Support

Authors: Huping Hu, Maoxin Wu
Comments: 18 Pages. Published in Journal of Consciousness Exploration & Research, 10(6): pp. 425-442

In this paper, we discuss the mechanism of xenon anesthetic action in spin-mediated consciousness theory in light of the recent experimental findings of Li, et.al. on nuclear spins of xenon isotopes, xenon 131 and xenon 129, attenuating their anesthetic potency in mice. In the spin-mediated consciousness theory put forward in 2002, molecules containing unpaired electron spins, such as oxygen (O2) and nitric oxide (NO), interact with the mind pixels comprised of various nuclear spins in neural membranes and proteins and activate the latter as one of the steps generating conscious experience. Therefore, general anesthetics such as xenon produce anesthesia by perturbing O2 and/or NO pathways in neural membranes and proteins thus blocking and/or distorting their activation functions in consciousness. Naturally, the nuclear spins of xenon 131 and xenon 129 may partially play the activating roles of displaced O2 and/or NO among other possibilities to be briefly discussed and, thus attenuate the anesthetic potency of nuclear-spin-carrying xenon isotopes.

Scientists at the University of California, San Diego have used stem cells to create miniature brains that developed functional neural networks. [33] Measuring optical blood flow in the resting human brain to detect spontaneous activity has for the first time been demonstrated by Wright State University imaging researchers, holding out promise for a better way to study people with autism, Alzheimer's and depression. [32] UCLA biologists report they have transferred a memory from one marine snail to another, creating an artificial memory, by injecting RNA from one to another. [31]

Memory's Molecular Roots

Authors: George Rajna
Comments: 70 Pages.

A new piece of a difficult puzzle-the nature of memory-fell into place this week with a hint at how brain cells change structure when they learn something. [46] Researchers at the University of Alberta have found an important protein in the cells of a deadly infectious parasite, opening the door to less harmful treatment for millions of people suffering from diseases like sleeping sickness in Africa and Chagas disease in South America. [45] The remarkable ability of a small Australian sea snail to produce a colourful purple compound to protect its eggs is proving even more remarkable for its potential in a new anti-cancer pharmaceutical. [44] Gene editing technology is a technology that eliminates the underlying causes of and treats diseases by removing specific genesor editing genes to restore their normal function. In particular, CRISPR gene editing technology is now commonly used for immunotherapy by correcting the genes of immune cells to induce them to attack cancer cells selectively. [43]

A Mechanics of Human Attraction?

Authors: Tariq Khan
Comments: 7 Pages.

A short informal essay discussing the results of two small proof of concept tests on ten male subjects to attempt to identify an algorithmic or mechanically visual basis for human attraction in the choice of a female partner. One test involved choosing the most attractive female facial image from a random collection of twenty different beautiful female faces, comparing its metrics of thirteen attributes to those of facial images of past relationships of each male subject, to identify an algorithmic or Bayesian foundation for attraction versus choices assumed to be based on free will. The second test was the presentation of an image of hidden female outlined forms to ten men and ten women as a proof of concept for how to possibly identify how the human male brain identifies female forms and fitness intimating an epigenetic grammar of forms.

The Origin of Observed Soul/spirit and Evils on Near Death Times in a New Quantum Theory of Intelligence

Authors: Alireza Sepehri
Comments: 8 Pages.

In this research; we define a quantum intelligence for any creature and consider its communications with free intelligences in environment. To this aim; we use of experiences on near death times. Some patients near death time lose ability of speech and see things like spirit; soul and evils. Question arises that if these creatures are real? To response; a team has asked from patients who return from Coma. They have reported similar observations. Also; some of them have claimed that not only saw all events in environment but even communicate with some persons during coma. To test reality; a holography for a sleeping person has been designed. The sleeping person not only saw the predicred scenes of holography but observed more creatures and silent eyes and faces from dead persons. Summing over these considerations; one conclude that any creature has an intelligence. Signature of this intelligence may be seen in quantum scales.This quantum intelligence employs matter and energy and build body of creature.Then; maybe; soul enters to it. Thus; intelligence may be a thing separated of matter and soul or spirit. The place of intelligence isnt limitted to brain but brain even makes some errors in process of its communications with environment. For example; brain removes images that its analyzers diagnose as non reasoning pictures like images of souls and evils from visible scenes in normal conditions. But; near death; analyzers of brain lose their ability and all creatures even those non reasoning ones like evils and souls could be seen. After body or brain death; intelligence becomes free and could continue its life and communication with other intelligences. But; intelligences that are confined to bodies; see free intelligences with the shape of initial bodies that they were confined to them when they were alive or with the shape of evils or holy persons. Maybe; in good conditions of envirnment and space-time; free intelligences employ matters or energies and rebuild creatures again.

From Keystrokes to Cognition: A Narrative Review of Touch Typing and Human Cognition

Authors: Bryce Petofi Towne
Comments: 23 Pages.

Touch typing, the ability to type without visually referencing the keyboard, has been extensively studied in the digital age. While it was initially met with skepticism, the ubiquity of word processing software and ergonomic keyboard designs has bolstered its widespread adoption. However, surprisingly, studies have shown that skilled typists can execute precise keystrokes at remarkable speeds without explicit knowledge of the keyboard layout, suggesting a heavy reliance on implicit memory processes. This raises vital questions about the nature of skill acquisition and the interplay between implicit and explicit cognitive processes. Here we show that touch typing exemplifies the intelligence and adaptability of implicit memory, challenging traditional views of its simplicity and inflexibility. This narrative review reveals that implicit memory facilitates the seamless integration of complex motor skills and linguistic processing, enabling typists to navigate different keyboard layouts with ease. We suggest that there is a fluid interaction between implicit and explicit memory systems, with implicit processes playing a much larger and important role in sophisticated cognitive tasks than previously assumed. Therefore, humans’ implicit memory may be highly complex and intelligent, capable of autonomously executing complex tasks that would typically require conscious involvement. In other words, this raises a vital question: can our body "think" for itself? Future research must unravel the cognitive dimensions of touch typing, as we may gain fundamental and groundbreaking insights into the nature of human learning, memory, and the acquisition of expertise, with far-reaching implications for education, rehabilitation, and, most importantly, our understanding of cognition.

Metasystem-Synergetic Approach to the Architectural and "Platform" Organization of the Brain's Neural Network

Authors: Grigory L. Lupu
Comments: 17 Pages. In Russian

The brain is considered as having several homologous meta-levels of organization (neuron substructures, neurons, microcolons, cortical macromodules, "classical" nerve centers, analyzers, the central nervous system of individuals ...), each of which, in its characteristic time range, is arranged and operates as a learning neural network (from the "details" of the previous level of organization) - hierarchical synergetic crystal; on the basis of which various levels are classified: neurostructures, "stages of memory" and their duration, types of higher nervous activity, levels of the psyche and self, and levels of organization of various aspects and manifestations of functioning of neurostructures — an analogue of the "periodic table" for neuroscience. The specificity of the intelligent brain is that it is a system controlled by an auto-interacting process of internal self-observation as such. The architectural-systemic aspect of the brain and psyche, as well as the physical-cybernetic nature of the subjective-psychic are considered.

Мозг рассматривается как имеющий несколько гомологичных метауровней организации (субструктуры нейрона, нейроны, микроколонки, кортикальные макромодули, "классические" нервные центры, анализаторы, ЦНС индивидов...), каждый из которых в своём диапазоне характеристического времени устроена и работает как обучающаяся нейронная сеть (из "деталей" предыдущего уровня организации) - иерархический синергокристалл; на основании чего классифицированы различные уровни: нейроструктур, "этапов памяти" и их длительности, видов ВНД, уровней психики и "я", и уровней организации различных аспектов и проявлений функционирования нейроструктур — аналог "таблицы Менделеева" для нейронаук. Рассмотрены архитектурно-системный аспект мозга и психики, а также физико-кибернетическая природа субъективно-психического.

Universal Grammar, the Mirror Universe Hypothesis and Kinesiological Thinking

Authors: Stephen P. Smith
Comments: 19 Pages.

A semiotics is presented based on the kinesiological movement of vision that carries three categories, coming as a projection, reflection and a middle-term that joins the two. This is presented as a mirror universe cosmology in terms of both metaphysics (ontology) and science (physics and cosmology). The key hypothesis is that the metaphysical and the physical cosmologies are the same, and Cartesian dualism can be replaced by a panpsychism that is non-dual but admits to a property dualism carried by the apparent two-sidedness that is foundational for the mirror universe cosmology. Gravity it all its forms, and the plurality of emotions, come with valences that source the middle-term and relate to both navigation and innate memories. With this theory evolution is driven by the valences that source the middle-term, and hence, the triadic structure of the mirror cosmology acts as a strange attraction and will leave like-looking artifacts on the substrate of evolution, biological development and psychology. Finding such artifacts constitutes empirical evidence in support of the theory. Very significant empirical support is presented from the fields of biology, and neuropsychology. Nevertheless, the universal grammar carried by kinesiological thinking is self-limiting and only describes a mode of inquiry.

Comments: 92 Pages. A Preparation to a Sociological Seminar.

The "valley" is the situation of the state of Israel inside the Arab World. The opinions of Mustafa – a typical adult Arab – regarding Israel that he observes from a height, are shared by me with the sympathy that I can permit to myself, as to a patriot of my country. Some basic problems of the modern reality are considered with some depth, while - were it is possible - to the romantic and optimistic outlooks the preference is given. Some personal details, having pedagogical meaning, are also included.

A Case of Childhood-onset Fluency Disorder Reduced by Escitalopram

Authors: Toshiro Takami
Comments: 5 Pages.

We experience a case of childhood-onset fluency disorder mildly affected by escitalopram. The case is 28 years old, male, with no close relatives with childhood onset fluency disorder. His parents had been aware of his stuttering since childhood and he had been treated by a speech therapist with no effect. She came to our clinic. She was started on medication. The patient started medication. In the beginning, she had no progress and failed, but paroxetine responded. The patient's longstanding stuttering almost disappeared. However, the patient dislikes sexual dysfunction and stops taking it on his own. The stuttering flared up, but the stuttering is now well controlled with escitalopram. He has been on escitalopram continuously as he relapses when he stops the drug. He is also experiencing sexual dysfunction that is being treated with sildenafil.

Nasal Secretion Deficiency Syndrome (Dry Rhinitis)

Authors: Toshiro Takami
Comments: 7 Pages.

An example in which a patient was referred to a psychiatrist by the otolaryngologist for olfactory reference syndrome. The case actually had a strong nasal smell. I name the following condition as nasal secretion deficiency syndrome. This is a new concept of ozena. No abnormalities were found on computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) , but only a rough nasal mucosa was observed with endoscope. If look over the Internet, many people suffer from similar condition. Almost all complain of an abnormally dry nose. Although the frequency of this disease is high, it has been diagnosed as olfactory reference syndrome. There was no crusting and atrophy of nasal cavity, and only nasal mucosa was found to be degraded by an endoscope. Because it was hidden by a veil of atrophic rhinitis and ozena, it was overlooked and now overlooking conditions. It can be said that all women at least have olfactory reference syndrome. The excretion of bacteria stays on the nasal mucosa, and emits a bad smell. It is mainly caused by chronic rhinosinusitis, but may also be caused by other causes. Many people say that it gets worse during the cold and dry season. The underlying cause of this condition is lack of secretion of runny nose. The devastation of the nasal mucosa of nasal cavity, goblet cells that produce nasal secretions are damaged, the organization of nasal secretions is strongly reduced.

Three Paradoxes of Thought

Authors: Tamas Lajtner
Comments: 41 Pages.

There are three paradoxes that summarize the working method of thought. 1) “Your thoughts change even when they do not change.” 2) “If you are thinking today what you thought yesterday, you are already thinking something else.” 3) ”In order to remain in one place you should run.” To understand the three paradoxes of thought, we have to understand what thought is. Thought is force. This force is a real force that makes impacts on living and inanimate, e.g. thought force creates the brain’s electromagnetic signals. The existence of thought force can be captured by appropriate mechanical and electronic devices, where thought power and energy can be also measured. This study presents some values of thought power and energy measured by the first electric Thought Power Meter in the world. Knowing these values, using devices like this it is possible to control objects like computer, switch on the wall etc. by thought force. The mainstream science refuses to accept the existence of thought force. In the second part of the study a short physics explanation is given that describes how thought force works. This physics necessarily goes beyond mainstream physics giving new definition of time and space. Thought force is in a given size range. Like all forces, thought force also creates its own counterforce. (Thought force itself can also be a counterforce of other forces.) There is no way to understand how thought works without accepting the human experience on thought’s counterforce. The counterforce and other forces in this size range can be created by lining and inanimate (non-living). Saying this, thought force can be created with and even without brains. This new recognition causes the three paradoxes of thought.

Comparison of Transthecal Approach with Traditional Conservative Approach for Primary Closure After Incidental Durotomy in Anterior Lumbar Tear

Authors: Mohammadreza Shahmohammadi, Melika Hajimohammadebrahim-Ketabforoush, Faranak Behnaz, Ehsan keykhosravi, Sara Zandpazandi
Comments: 18 Pages.

Objective: This study aimed to compare the transthecal approach with the conservative approach for primary closure after durotomy in anterior lumbar dural tear. The study also intended to assess the efficacy of the transthecal approach to decrease postsurgical complications and costs. Materials and Methods: A total of 21 patients undergoing L2-S1 laminectomy with anterior incidental durotomy were randomly divided into a transthecal group (n=9) and a conservative group (n=12) based on the surgical dural closure technique. Postoperative pseudomeningocele, wound infection, rootlet herniation, pneumocephalus, CSF leakage, headache, meningitis, in addition to surgery duration and length of hospitalization, were examined and compared in the both groups. Results: The frequency of pseudomeningocele and CSF leakage in patients undergoing the transthecal approach was significantly lower than those undergoing the conservative approach (P=0.045 and P=0.008, respectively). Furthermore, although, the differences in the frequency of meningitis, pneumocephalus, headache, and wound infection were not statistically significant between the two groups, the effect size of the comparison was obtained 49.4, 19.8, 7.1, and 2.6, respectively. This indicated that the differences were clinically significant between the two groups. Conclusions: We found that the both approaches of dural closure, whether dural repair with the transthecal technique or the traditional conservative treatment, were safe. However, the transthecal approach was significantly more successful in managing CSF leakage as well as its complications and clinical outcomes.

Pitch Inverted Songs as Affirmation of Panpsychism based on a Theoretical Mirror Universe

Authors: Stephen P. Smith
Comments: 15 Pages.

Every song that carries a melody can be pitch inverted to uncover a dual song that is different to the original song and where the pitch-inverted melody also relates to our emotions. This is creating music for the minor cost of pitch inversion, and without a lot of creativity beyond technical skills. The principle is demonstrated on 50 songs, with 100% success. As a general principle this implicates a reflective property that is necessarily part of human psychology. Moreover, this discovery affirms the belief in panpsychism where the reflexive property is active as part of a broader mirror universe.

A Case of Remission of Childhood-Onset Fluency by Paroxetine

Authors: Toshiro Takami
Comments: 10 Pages.

When I was about 4 or 5 years old, I was aware of childhood onset fluency. He was treated by a speech therapist in elementary school, but was discontinued after one year with no effect. Personality is serious, honest and friendly. It is a character that is liked by people. He was a medium-thick man and did not perform very well in school. He was suffering from childhood-onset fluency during elementary school and junior high school. After graduating from high school, a local parent found a job at a small car repair shop, which was a distant relative. I've been working for two years without any problems (no "bullying" due to small repair shop). At the age of 20, he visited the hospital after seeing a statement on the Internet that childhood-onset fluency was cured by SSRI (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor). Start with Escitalopram 10mg / day. This dose was taken for one month and the symptoms were slightly reduced, but the case was changed to sertraline 3,5) in hope of a more effective drug. However, sertraline did not work at all, and there was a tendency to worsen. Drug modified to paroxetine. This has been effective, and the disease has continued to be milder and can be said to be in remission. Because she tends to relapse when she stops taking the drug, she continues to take 10 mg / day (currently about 1 year and 8 months after the first dose). Now he is so mild that he cannot feel any fluency at all.

К вопросу о биофизической сущности сознания (To the Question of the Biophysical Essence of Consciousness)

Authors: Lupu Grigoriy Leonidovich
Comments: 7 Pages. Main language is Russian. Comments & discussion are welcome. Комментарии и дискуссия приветствуются.

Специфика разумного мозга в том, что он - система, контролируемая аутовзаимодействующим процессом внутреннего самонаблюдения как таковым. Рассмотрена физико-кибернетическая природа сознания — автотронного нейроинформационно-резонансного синергазма моделирования мира мозгом.

The specific of the rational brain is that it is a system controlled by the self-interacting process of internal self-observation as such. The physical-cybernetic nature of the subjective-psychological is considered. Consciousness is an autotronic neuroinformation-resonance synergism of modeling the world by the brain.

Синтетическая гипотеза функционального назначения сна (Synthetic Hypothesis of the Functional Purpose of Sleep)

Authors: Lupu Grigoriy Leonidovich
Comments: 38 Pages. In Russian and English. Commens are welcome.

The evolutionarily-engineering aspect of evolutionarily expedient functioning of an organism in the cyclic forsage-regeneration mode, in which middle power (and so on) of system are much higher (with other things being equal) is considered; informationally-trophic aspect of a problem of sleeping, causing its division with wakefulness, and neurocybernetic aspect; memory is considered as the supercomplex database, which owing to constructive specifics needs the regular transition to the automatic maintenance mode - in order to avoid falling of efficiency, an overload and failure. Various components of the maintenance mode correspond to the main modern hypotheses of function of a sleeping (of various authors), that allows to conclude about the uniting function of the author's synthetic hypothesis (which is giving an engineeringly-cybernetic comprehension of vital need of a sleeping, and the its reasons). [on Russian, and English transl. also]

Рассмотрен нейрокибернетический аспект сна: память рассматривается как сверхсложная база данных, которая в силу конструктивной специфики нуждается в регулярном переходе в автоматический режим обслуживания — во избежание падения КПД, перегрузки и выхода из строя; информационно-трофический аспект проблемы сна, обуславливающий его разделение с бодрствованием, и эволюционно-инженерный аспект эволюционно целесообразного функционирования организма в циклическом форсажно-регенерационном режиме, в котором средняя мощность (и т.п.) гораздо выше при прочих равных условиях. Различные составляющие режима обслуживания соответствуют основным современным гипотезам функции сна различных авторов, что позволяет заключить об объединяющей функции выдвинутой автором синтетической гипотезы (дающей инженерно-кибернетическое понимание витальной необходимости сна и причин последней).

A Case that Had Been Diagnosed as Having a Nasal Odor and Fearing Self-Odor

Authors: Toshiro Takami
Comments: 14 Pages.

An example in which a patient was referred to a psychiatric referral by the Otolaryngologist for a fear of self-odor due to a nasal smell is shown below. The case actually had a strong nasal smell. Otorhinolaryngology has ruled out malodorous diseases such as atrophic rhinitis. と If you look over the Internet, many people suffer from similar illness. Almost all complain of an abnormally dry nose. Staphylococcus aureus grows abnormally in the devastated nasal nasal mucosa, and in the warm season, Pseudomonas aeruginosa abnormally grows in the nasopharynx. It was not possible, and it was considered that he had a strong nasal smell. It was also considered that Staphylococcus lugdunensis, which produces a substance that prevents the growth of Staphylococcus aureus, was not present. However, it is thought that Pseudomonas aeruginosa abnormally grows in the warm season because blue mucus comes out when you wake up in the morning and spit in the washroom. Although the frequency of this disease is high, it has been diagnosed as a fear of self-odor by neglect or psychiatry. Named nasal secretion deficiency syndrome. This is a new concept of nose disease. There was no crusting and atrophy of the proper nasal cavity, and only nasal mucosa was found to be degraded by an endoscope.Because it was hidden by a veil of atrophic rhinitis and odorous nose, it was not noticed or noticed. Not considered a serious illness. Many people say that it gets worse during the cold and dry season. However, a small crust is formed near the posterior part of the middle turbinate, and it is also conceivable that the odor is giving off the odor. It can be said that all women at least have self-odor fear.

Energy, Market, Ecology and the Challenge of Civilization-2

Authors: V. A. Kasimov
Comments: 5 Pages. in Russian, in English

Perhaps the most ominous shadow hanging over the future of Humanity is the uncontrolled use of enormous amounts of energy. The reason for this is entropy-the eternal shadow of energy, the universal measure of disorder, chaos, the result of the transformation of the living into the inanimate, ordered and informational, that is, intelligent, again into chaos. This shadow is many-sided, it can act as in the hypostasis of the ominous end, and in the hypostasis of the creative beginning (remember, Aphrodite arose from the foam of the sea, that is, from chaos). In the form of an ominous end, it is inevitable, like a law of Nature. It is about this hypostasis that we we'll now talking. In the article, in the thermodynamic 0-approximation, the dependence of the temperature of a thermodynamic system on entropy is given.
