A Genderless World, or Society? Author(s): Elmas Sahin Indeed, we are all living in a world or society which is full with gender equality problems. We are aware of inequalities between both sexes almost in all over the world, it is the fact that  Women suffer from social, political, educational, cultural or economic discriminations, in both spheres of life from domestic to public despite of governmental regulations. Is a genderless world possible ? You can say this is an utopia or impossible, since Adam and Eve, from the first sin today, The world has been divided into two sexes who men are more superior to women. The thing I mean here is  genderlessness implies that actually equal opportunities should be offered to men and to women, there be no difference between women and men or girls and boys at home and outside, that is, in domestic and public fields. In order to create a genderless society or gender equity or equality in all societies firstly we have to give impor...

A DNA Genealogy Solution to the Puzzle of Ancient Look-Alike Ceramics across the World A VESSEL WITH THE SYMBOLIC IMAGE OF THE GREAT GODDESS FROM CUCUTENI A puzzling similarity has been observed in some of the ceramics and figurines in several cultures in Eastern Europe (the Trypillia-Cucuteni culture, 6500 – 5500 years before present [ybp]), Thailand (the Ban-Chiang culture, between 7400 and 3800 ybp), China (the Yangshao culture, between 8000 and 4000 ybp), North America (the Anasazi-Mogollon culture, between 7500 ybp and present time). It is remarkable that the ceramics of these four cultures match each other in 17 (45%) of the 38 indicators used to distinguish archeological ceramic piece in the comparative research. Remarkably, all four cultures with look-alike  ceramics also use the swastika as a common symbol. We advance the hypothesis that all four cultures are connected by the Aryan (bearers of R1a) migrations between 5500 and 3000 ybp. While the Aryan migrations in Eurasi...

Eating for your genes We are a product of our genes and our environment. Greater understanding of the specific mechanisms whereby the food we eat modifies the expression of our genes will help us understand how we can eat for better health. How our individual genetic differences contribute to our varying responses to diet can help explain why a ‘one-size fits all’ approach to dieting doesn’t work. Michelle Thunders from College of Health , Massey University, discusses the importance of understanding the impact of food on our genome in  FNS   2013 vol.4  published by Scientific Research Publishing . Dietary recommendations are often generalized and intended to avert chronic illnesses such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease. In a climate where we are striving for personalization of healthcare maybe we need a simpler approach; one that embraces genetic variation yet focuses on the optimum nutritional benefit of dietary components.

Japanese are modest even when they are winners What do you attribute your victory over your friend? Did you win because you were more competent than your contestant? Or, did your opponent lose because he/she was inferior? You may have won because of mere luck. DIAGRAM OF THE EXPERIMENTAL SETTING Alike et al. (1997) conducted a social-comparison experiment utilizing aconfederate either win or lose in an intellectual competing game with a naïve participant. They found their American participants attributed their victory to their own ability, whereas they tended to regard their defeat caused by the winner’s exceptional ability. Alike et al. concluded that people tend to use these attribution  tendencies to protect their self-esteem. “I lost, but it was because the contestant was a genius. No one could outperform him.” They dubbed it “Genius Effect.” WINNERS AND LOSERS RATED FOR THEIR INTELLIGENCE BY WINNERS, LOSERS AND OBSERVERS (TWO OBSERVERS’ RATINGS WERE COMBINED IN THE FIGURE. T...

Two meteorites of 75 and 50 meters in diameter struck Morocco there 40,000 years result: two beautiful lakes, Isli and Tislit After a few months of studies, a group of geologists from the Ibn Zohr University concludes PANORAMA OF THE TWO LAKES, A: ISLI LAKE; B: TISLIT LAKE. that strange lakes, well known in the region Imilchil (Morocco) are the remains of a double impact crater done by a falling meteorite dating from 40,000 years. The aim would be one of the first impact crater discovered in Morocco. The work done by a scientific team from the Agadir (Morocco), under the direction of Professor Abderrahmane Ibhi ( specialist meteorites ) led to the discovery of other scientific evidence attesting that the two lakes Isli and Tislit correspond , in fact,to  impact craters resulting from the collapse of two metal pieces on earth, 40,000 years ago. The diameter of the meteorite fragment resulting Isli Lake is 75 m and a weight of around 1.7 million tons, while that of Tislit would be ...

Asymmetry of Sunspot distribution. What does this mean, is there any relate to the global worming? The solar activity features on the solar disk are not identical in the northern or the southern solar hemispheres. This North-South asymmetry (ANS) is considered to be a new index to tracing the nature of solar activity and the solar cycles. Sunspots are short-termfeatures on  the solar disk that appear as dark spots compared to surrounding regions.The sunspots numbersdemonstrate an asymmetry of its distribution over the  solar disk. The north-south asymmetry is considered to be due to periodical activities between the solar hemispheres. The asymmetry was northern dominated during the cycles 19 and 20 (1955- 1975), while during cycle 21 (1975-1986) it was southern dominated.

Extraterrestrial life found at a wrong place For thousands of years, humanity has wondered whether there is life outside the Earth. Observations of more than 1000 extrasolar planets indicate that many of them possess physical conditions close to those of Venus, not of Earth. Therefore, the planet Venus, with its dense and hot (460°C), waterless, oxygen-free atmosphere of CO 2 , having a high pressure of 9.2 MPa at the surface has been investigated as a natural laboratory for this kinds, using archive VENERA mission TV-data obtained 32 years ago. A result is  surprising: Most likely, the question on the existence of extraterrestrial life will be answered not as a result of its search for in other worlds removed by distances of dozens of parsecs but on the surface of Venus, i.e., of the nearest planet of the Solar system. In  Leonid Ksanfomality’  research reviews published in “ Possible Signs of Life on the Planet Venus ” (by  Scientific Research Publishing ,  ...
