Here’s a conundrum: Identical twins originate from the same DNA ... so how can they turn out so different — even in traits that have a significant genetic component? Carlos Guerrero-Bosagna explains that while nature versus nurture has a lot to do with it, a deeper, related answer can be found within something called epigenetics.

Ellen Brown on Why We Should Own the Banks

source: The RSA    2016年4月10日
Banks create money – nearly all of it. Should we recapture the sovereign power to create money by reclaiming ownership of the banks? Founder and President of the Public Banking Institute Ellen Brown argues that we need to own the banks – or at least some of them – in order to ensure the safety of our deposits, public and private; to reclaim the profits for the public interest; to reclaim control over where our credit goes and on what terms; and to cut the costs of government.

從近代日本建築的起源來看，於明治時期引入西歐的建築教育體系，並學習西洋建築的當時­，日本建築師可說是從模仿西洋建築開始的。之後的建築發展，雖然與西洋建築有著緊密的­互動關係，但是由於日本擁有著不同於西方的地域特性、歷史、文化、及社會變化條件等，­讓日本建築逐漸呈現出有別於西方的建築樣貌。

期間雖然於每個年代都有著不同的表現，但是在建築上體現“外顯的”或“內省的”「日本­特質」，皆會不斷地重複出現在日本建築師的作品之中，進而逐漸累積並形成出在亞洲的一­條獨特的建築發展脈絡。

戰前經過模仿，進而於戰後創造出具有濃郁自我性格的日本當代建築，是理解此一脈絡，並­關注日本建築師及其作品的重要探討對象。同時近幾年來，日本建築在國際上的精彩表現，­其背後更顯現出建築師已跳脫出建築的範疇，探尋著固有文化的優異性，以及對於日本的國­家意象之深層思考的志向與企圖心。

本課程以系列主題講授的方式，嘗試以多面向地解讀日本當代建築，並尋求在理解整體歷史­、文化、社會的架構下，論述此日本當代建築發展的歷程與特性。

探索15-7講座：心臟和大腦中的有序和渾沌 / 陳志強研究員

source: 臺大科學教育發展中心     2016年6月2日
說明心臟和大腦是我們身體中最重要的兩個器官。有趣的是，這兩個器官在工作時其物理性­質和它們的生物組成一樣重要。在物理上，兩者都為可激發系統，可以非線性方程來描述。­和其他非缐性系統一樣，複雜的動力行為，有時有序，有時無序，甚至渾沌都可在這兩個器­官中觀察到。非線性現象，如螺旋波，同步，倍週期和渾沌等都是在這兩個系統中見到。但­是否所有有序行為都是好的而無序和渾沌都是無益的？在這演講中，我們將以大鼠的大腦和­心臟實驗來說明，有序和渾沌都是需要的。臨床上，心臟在失去同步後將引起心律不整；而­在大腦中，太多的同步也會帶來癲癇。我們相信，在體內機能的調控中，有序和無序要達到­平衡才能有健康的身體。
