problème obésité : Persuasive Games -Fatworld (laura philippe) Fatworld is a game about the politics of nutrition. It explores the relationships between obesity, nutrition, and socioeconomics in the contemporary U.S. Fit or Fat? In the last two decades, obesity has soared in the United States. Public and private organizations have mounted ongoing efforts to change Americans’ behavior toward nutrition and exercise. More importantly, these efforts assume that our obesity crisis is caused solely by lack of self-control: if only everyone would choose to eat right and exercise, the problem would go away. Fatworld is a videogame about the politics of nutrition. Existing approaches to nutrition advocacy fail to communicate the aggregate effect of everyday health practices. You can choose starting weights and health conditions, including predispositions towards ailments like diabetes, heart disease, or food allergies. Interested in politics?
ARKive - Discover the world's most endangered species Wildscreen's Arkive project was launched in 2003 and grew to become the world's biggest encyclopaedia of life on Earth. With the help of over 7,000 of the world’s best wildlife filmmakers and photographers, conservationists and scientists, Arkive.org featured multi-media fact-files for more than 16,000 endangered species. Freely accessible to everyone, over half a million people every month, from over 200 countries, used Arkive to learn and discover the wonders of the natural world. Since 2013 Wildscreen was unable to raise sufficient funds from trusts, foundations, corporates and individual donors to support the year-round costs of keeping Arkive online. Therefore, the charity had been using its reserves to keep the project online and was unable to fund any dedicated staff to maintain Arkive, let alone future-proof it, for over half a decade. Despite appeals for support, just 85 of our 5.6 million users in 2018 made a donation.
Pocket Heart on the App Store El sexo de la levadura Estas levaduras expresan espontáneamente (azarosamente) genes de proteínas fluorescentes de distintos colores, mostrando el efecto del ruido molecular sobre la expresión génica. La levadura vive como un hongo porque lo es, y contra lo que podría suponerse, su vida sexual resulta de lo más variada. En ocasiones desecha toda propuesta del sexo opuesto, por más estímulos que reciba. A pesar, de que sus pretendientes despidan al ambiente una irresistible feromona para seducirla, ella opta por reproducirse asexualmente, es decir, dividirse en dos. Pero, en sus células hijas, transmite la información de cómo aparearse. Ellas heredan esta memoria celular y, demostrarlo, fue un trabajo conjunto realizado por científicos de la Universidad de Stanford (Estados Unidos), de Tartu (Estonia), y de Buenos Aires (Argentina), que resultó publicado en la prestigiosa revista Cell. Cada segundo las células reciben estímulos y no siempre responden del mismo modo. (De izq. a der.)
