Abuses of Power - RANCINAN / GAUDRIAULT - EXHIBITIONS Frenchman Gérard Rancinan is an internationally recognized artist and photographer. His photographic works are included in great contemporary art collections and displayed in prestigious museums the world over. A wakeful witness of the metamorphoses undergone by humanity, Rancinan observes the world and delivers an uncompromising critique of the humours of the “Modern”. Through his protean photography, in which form and content are always linked, Rancinan seeks to translate the questions attached to the deviances and contradictions of society. He never gives absolution, and, in spite of the occasional cruelty of his gaze, he never fails to show everything. “Free thinker” is assuredly the only title to which he lays claim and to which he dedicates his life and work. Author, designer of the calligraphic installation Born in Paris, Caroline Gaudriault is the author of around a dozen books translated into English, and even Chinese.

9 Ways to Beat a Sedentary Lifestyle An increasingly sedentary lifestyle is one of the banes of our modern existence—and a major cause of the obesity epidemic. Research has found that being sedentary, including sitting for longer than four hours per day, greatly increases the risk of cardiovascular disease (perhaps even more than smoking!) and diabetes. Below are nine ways by which you can escape falling into the too-sedentary trap. 1. Plenty of research has borne out the health benefits of a daily 30-minute walk. Yet another study has found that as little as three five-minute walks throughout the workday can reverse the harm caused to peripheral arteries (in the legs) by prolonged sitting. 2. Studies have found that stair climbing, which is considered vigorous-intensity physical activity, burns more calories per minute than jogging. 3. If you have a desk job or any other occupational activity that requires you to sit, make it a point to stand up at least every 20 minutes. 4. 5. 6.
20 Wonderful Effects Exercise Has on the Mind Studies find exercise increases stress resilience, fights anxiety, speeds up the mind, protects against dementia, is more fun than we predict, and more… If everyone got a little exercise, we could put half the doctors in the world out of a job. But it’s not just doctors who’d be out of a job if people could take the stairs every now and then, it’s also psychologists. Here are 20 wonderful psychological effects that exercise has on the mind. 1. Studies on mice have shown that exercise reorganises the brain so that it is more resistant to stress (Schoenfeld et al., 2013). It does this by stopping the neurons firing in the regions of the brain thought to be important in the stress response (the ventral hippocampus). This may be part of the reason that exercise… 2. Exercise has a relatively long-lasting protective effect against anxiety (Smith, 2013). Both low and medium intensity exercise has been shown to reduce anxiety. 3. Not only this, but participants who exercised had better spatial memory.
Autonomous: Everyday Smart Products Alegoría de la caverna Recreación de parte de la alegoría. Se observa cómo el prisionero solo puede observar proyecciones del mundo que son meras apariencias de las esencias. La alegoría de la caverna (también conocida por el nombre de mito de la caverna) , aunque en realidad solamente es una alegoría de intenciones pedagógico-filosóficas, no un mito pues no aparece reflejado como tal en los escritos de Platón ni en ninguna otra obra antigua, ni siquiera entre los mitógrafos) se considera la más célebre alegoría de la historia de la filosofía[1] junto con la del carro alado.[2] Su importancia se debe tanto a la utilidad de la narración para explicar los aspectos más importantes del pensamiento platónico como a la riqueza de sus sugerencias filosóficas.

Adolescent Obesity in the United States Adolescent obesity in the United States has many important implications for both the health and well-being of the individual and society. Specific negative impacts of obesity on health include increased susceptibility to a host of diseases, chronic health disorders, psychological disorders, and premature death, which in turn add billions of dollars in health care costs each year. Excess medical costs due to overweight adolescents are estimated at more than $14 billion per year. Furthermore, adolescent obesity affects our nation’s ability to protect itself; more than a quarter of 17- to 24-year-olds are not fit to enroll in the military due to their weight. Adolescence is a crucial period for establishing healthy behaviors. Many of the habits formed during this developmental stage will last well into adulthood. Obesity is a complex, multifactor problem, and effective solutions require comparable sophistication. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. 21.
Fysisk aktivitet lika bra som KBT eller läkemedel vid depression Med depression avses här egentlig depression med avgränsade episoder som varar minst 2 veckor med tydliga förändringar i tankar (tänker negativt om sig själv, andra människor och om framtiden; i värsta fall självmordstankar), känslor (bedrövelse och missmod), kroppsliga funktioner (sömn, matlust och energinivå) och beteende (tillbakadragenhet och inaktivitet) och med förbättringar av individens tillstånd mellan perioderna. En depression kan graderas som lindrig, måttlig eller allvarlig. Depression är den största enskilda orsaken till förlorade friska levnadsår i västvärlden [1] och är dubbelt så vanlig bland kvinnor som bland män. I Sverige och Norge drabbas 20 procent av befolkningen av depression någon gång under livet, och prevalensen hos vuxna är 4–10 procent [2]. Någon enkel orsak till depression finns inte. Sjukdomsförlopp och prognos Risken för recidiv beräknas till 50 procent efter den första episoden, och risken ökar i takt med antal depressiva episoder [4]. Prevention.
Increased Anxiety Linked to Simple Behaviour You're Probably Doing Right Now A behaviour you’re probably doing right now has been consistently linked to anxiety. Sitting down all day has been linked to increased anxiety, a new study finds. Low energy activities like watching TV, working at a computer or playing electronic games may all be linked to anxiety. The link between sedentary behaviours and worse physical health is well-established. This study is the first to review the evidence on sedentary behaviours and the psychological impact on anxiety. Dr Megan Teychenne, who led the study, said: “Anecdotally — we are seeing an increase in anxiety symptoms in our modern society, which seems to parallel the increase in sedentary behavior.Thus, we were interested to see whether these two factors were in fact linked.Also, since research has shown positive associations between sedentary behavior and depressive symptoms, this was another foundation for further investigating the link between sedentary behavior and anxiety symptoms.” Dr Teychenne said:
