Holistic health Holistic health (or holistic medicine) is a diverse field of alternative medicine[1] in which the "whole person" is focused on, not just the malady itself.[2] Background and conceptual basis[edit] The holistic concept in medical practice, which is distinct from the concept in the alternative medicine, upholds that all aspects of people's needs including psychological, physical and social should be taken into account and seen as a whole. A 2007 study said the concept was alive and well in general medicine in Sweden.[3] Some practitioners of holistic medicine use alternative medicine exclusively, though sometimes holistic treatment can mean simply that a physician takes account of all a person's circumstances in giving treatment. Sometimes when alternative medicine is mixed with mainstream medicine the result is called "holistic" medicine, though this is more commonly termed integrative medicine.[2] Methods[edit] Reception[edit] See also[edit] References[edit] Further reading[edit]
A la rencontre de votre famille d'âme, approche visuelle et vibratoire Je m'appelle Catherine Marquette et je vous souhaite la bienvenue. Ce site met en ligne mes dessins, représentant les structures vibratoires de 13 familles d'âmes, telles que décrites dans le livre "Les familles d'âmes" de Marie Lise Labonté ( Édition le Dauphin Blanc). Il s'agit de dessins originaux et d'images retravaillées sur ordinateur en "3D", pour mieux rendre compte du volume de ces "habits de lumière". La perception de ces dessins vibratoires, bien au delà du seul regard, amène une conscience plus large chez l'être de sa nature énergétique "multi-dimensionnelle". Qu'est-ce qu'une famille d'âmes ? Nous avons tous une famille céleste, une famille d'âmes. Il est diffcile de définir avec des mots de notre vocabulaire humain ce qu'est l'essence des ces familles d'âmes. En fait, la vision directe des dessins, qui sont porteurs de ces vibrations, est parlante en elle-même, et pourrait se passer de commentaires.
Functional medicine Functional medicine is a form of Western alternative medicine.[1] It is a popular modality for use by health care providers whose practice is largely within conventional medicine. [2] Functional medicine focuses on interactions between the environment and the gastrointestinal, endocrine, and immune systems of patients. Practitioners attempt to develop individual treatment plans for each patient.[2] Functional medicine typically seeks to provide chronic care management based on the assumption that "diet, nutrition, and exposure to environmental toxins play central roles in a predisposition to illness and "provoke symptoms, and modulate the activity of biochemical mediators through a complex and diverse set of mechanisms Functional medicine was developed and originated by Dr. Systems biology approach[edit] The Institute for Functional Medicine[edit] Criticism[edit] In 1991, the U.S. See also[edit] American Board of Functional Medicine References[edit]
Biomechanics Page of one of the first works of Biomechanics (De Motu Animalium of Giovanni Alfonso Borelli) Word history[edit] The word "biomechanics" (1899) and the related "biomechanical" (1856) were coined by Nikolai Bernstein[citation needed] from the Ancient Greek βίος bios "life" and μηχανική, mēchanikē "mechanics", to refer to the study of the mechanical principles of living organisms, particularly their movement and structure.[3] Method[edit] Usually biological systems are much more complex than man-built systems. Numerical methods are hence applied in almost every biomechanical study. Subfields[edit] Applied subfields of biomechanics include: Sports biomechanics[edit] In sports biomechanics, the laws of mechanics are applied to human movement in order to gain a greater understanding of athletic performance and to reduce sport injuries as well. Continuum biomechanics[edit] Biomaterials are classified in two groups, hard and soft tissues. Biofluid mechanics[edit] Biotribology[edit] History[edit]
A First Course in Linear Algebra (A Free Textbook) Open Content Mathematics Curriculum This is an evolving description of books and software that could be used to design a totally open undergraduate mathematics curriculum. This is meant to be a selective list, so you can consider these to be personal recommendations, not just links I've found promising. As such there will be a limited number of entries in each category. The first criteria in selecting texts is that preference will be given to those that are truly free - as in free to copy, free to modify, free to distribute, free to sell. For example, a text that prohibits commercial use does not have full freedom. First some comprehensive software, then lower-division (including introductory programming), concluding with upper-division (alphabetically by subject).
History of alternative medicine "Disease Can Not Exist", October 1899 advertisement in the People's Home Journal for Weltmerism, a form of "magnetic healing" The term alternative medicine refers to systems of medical thought and practice which function as alternatives to or subsist outside of conventional, mainstream medicine. Alternative medicine cannot exist absent an established, authoritative and stable medical orthodoxy to which it can function as an alternative. Such orthodoxy was only established in the West during the nineteenth century through processes of regulation, association, institution building and systematised medical education. Alternative medicine[edit] The concept of alternative medicine is problematic as it cannot exist autonomously as an object of study in its own right but must always be defined in relation to a non-static and transient medical orthodoxy.

Pharmacology A variety of topics involved with pharmacology, including neuropharmacology, renal pharmacology, human metabolism, intracellular metabolism, and inracellular regulation IUPAC definition Science of drugs including their origin, composition, pharmacokinetics,pharmacodynamics, therapeutic use, and toxicology.[1] Pharmacology (from Greek φάρμακον, pharmakon, "poison" in classic Greek; "drug" in modern Greek; and -λογία, -logia "study of", "knowledge of") is the branch of medicine and biology concerned with the study of drug action,[2] where a drug can be broadly defined as any man-made, natural, or endogenous (within the body) molecule which exerts a biochemical and/or physiological effect on the cell, tissue, organ, or organism. More specifically, it is the study of the interactions that occur between a living organism and chemicals that affect normal or abnormal biochemical function. If substances have medicinal properties, they are considered pharmaceuticals. Divisions[edit] Toxicology[edit]
Apprentissage par enquête et Pédagogie inversée | «C’est le rôle de la prospective que de ne pas minimiser les tensions et les dangers futursau nom d’un optimisme de convention. Mais l’anticipation se veut aussi une incitation à l’action. En cela, elle ne saurait non plus céder au pessimisme.»Vers les sociétés du savoir, Rapport mondial de l’UNESCO, 2005 Dernièrement, une personne dans mon entourage professionnel m’a fait grandement réfléchir à propos de la grande importance que l’on accorde en éducation au spécialiste, à l’expert à qui on accorde le monopole du savoir. On aura pu constater, il y a quelques mois, dans le cadre du débrayage des étudiants, à quel point cette notion est aussi amplement ancrée dans le paysage médiatique. Qu’on ne se méprenne pas! C’est ici que la notion de partage d’expertise et de réelle interactivité prend toute son importance. Comme l’a avoué si candidement Mark Prensky lors d’une présentation récente, Conférence Natif du numérique : «D’où viennent mes idées? Cliquer sur l’illustration pour l’agrandir
What will happen when the internet of things becomes artificially intelligent? | Technology When Stephen Hawking, Bill Gates and Elon Musk all agree on something, it’s worth paying attention. All three have warned of the potential dangers that artificial intelligence or AI can bring. The world’s foremost physicist, Hawking said that the full development of artificial intelligence (AI) could “spell the end of the human race”. What are these wise souls afraid of? An important component of AI, and a key element in the fears it engenders, is the ability of machines to take action on their own without human intervention. Needless to say, there are those in the tech world who have a more sanguine view of AI and what it could bring. While he acknowledges the concerns about artificial intelligence, Kelly writes: “As AI develops, we might have to engineer ways to prevent consciousness in them – our most premium AI services will be advertised as consciousness-free.” Tim O’Reilly, coiner of the phrase “Web 2.0” sees the internet of things as the most important online development yet.

Architecture Organisationnelle How Artificial Superintelligence Will Give Birth To Itself Kinja is in read-only mode. We are working to restore service. "So if you create an AI that has a terminal value of friendliness to humanity, the AI would not want to change itself in a way that caused it to be unfriendly to humanity," he says. "From there, the AGI would be interested in pursuing whatever goals it was programmed with — such as research, exploration, or finance." I think this is a mistake. There are also a lot of things that we know we are inclined to do instinctively (i.e. we do essentially have some programmed "terminal values") but that doesn't stop some people from breaking from those instincts – see for example suicide, killing our own families, etc, which are examples of people going against their survival instincts. Flagged Keep in mind that we're not talking about a human-like mind with paleolithic tendencies. Thanks for replying, I'm not sure if we're in agreement or not though — quite possibly I wasn't being clear in my first comment.
Naturopathy Naturopathy or naturopathic medicine is a form of alternative medicine employing a wide array of "natural" treatments, including homeopathy, herbalism, and acupuncture, as well as diet and lifestyle counseling. Naturopaths favor a holistic approach with non-invasive treatment and generally avoid the use of surgery and drugs. Naturopathic philosophy is based on a belief in vitalism and self-healing, and practitioners often prefer methods of treatment that are not compatible with evidence-based medicine. Naturopathic medicine is replete with pseudoscientific, ineffective, unethical, and possibly dangerous practices.[1] The term "naturopathy" was created from "natura" (Latin root for birth) and "pathos" (the Greek root for suffering) to suggest "natural healing". Naturopathic practitioners in the United States can be divided into three categories: traditional naturopaths; naturopathic physicians; and other health care providers that provide naturopathic services.
