Book A Mente Mestre  Traduzido

Download or read book A Mente Mestre Traduzido written by Theron Q. Dumont and published by David De Angelis. This book was released on 2021-07-24 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Qual é a diferença entre uma Mente Mestra e qualquer outra forma de Mente? Simplesmente isto, que a Mente Mestre é consciente, deliberada e voluntariamente construída, cultivada, desenvolvida e usada; enquanto a mente comum é geralmente construída, cultivada e desenvolvida inconscientemente, sem esforço voluntário de sua parte, mas somente pela força e poder das impressões do mundo externo, e é normalmente empregada e usada com pouca ou nenhuma direção consciente de sua própria vontade. Em resumo, a mente comum é uma mera criatura das circunstâncias, atirada para cá e para lá pelos ventos das forças externas, e sem a orientação da mão na roda, e sem a bússola do conhecimento; enquanto a Mente Mestre prossegue no verdadeiro curso traçado pela Inteligência e determinado pela vontade - com as velas postas de modo a pegar a melhor brisa do mundo externo, e guiada pela mão mestre ao volante, sob a direção da bússola da inteligência. A mente comum é como um animal burro e movido, enquanto a Mente Mestre é como o homem forte, inteligente, mestre. O homem comum é muito escravo de seus pensamentos e sentimentos. Uma corrente de pensamentos e sentimentos flui através dele, movendo-o aqui e ali com pouca ou nenhuma escolha voluntária de sua parte. Mesmo aqueles homens que atingiram um certo grau de domínio mental dirigem seu barco mental com o leme de uma vontade vacilante: eles não percebem que o domínio é possível para eles. Até mesmo um bom escritor de notas disse: "Nós não criamos voluntariamente nosso pensamento. Isso se dá em nós. Somos destinatários mais ou menos passivos. Não podemos mudar a natureza de um pensamento; mas podemos, por assim dizer, pilotar o navio movendo o leme". Seria mais verdadeiro dizer que podemos, deliberada e voluntariamente, selecionar e escolher o vento particular que impulsiona nosso barco mental para a frente, ou, mudando a figura, selecionar e escolher o fluxo particular de pensamento e sentimento que será permitido fluir através de nossa mente.

Download or read book Framing Age written by Iris Loffeier and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2017-05-12 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ageing populations have gradually become a major concern in many industrialised countries over the past fifty years, drawing the attention of both politics and science. The target of a raft of health and social policies, older people are often identified as a specific, and vulnerable, population. At the same time, ageing has become a specialisation in many disciplines - medicine, sociology, psychology, to name but three – and a discipline of its own: gerontology. This book questions the framing of old age by focusing on the relationships between policy making and the production of knowledge. The first part explores how the meeting of scientific expertise and the politics of old age anchors the construction of both individual and collective relationships to the future. Part II brings to light the many ways in which issues relating to ageing can be instrumentalised and ideologised in several public debate arenas. Part III argues that scientific knowledge itself composes with objectivity, bringing ideologies of its own to the table, and looks at how this impacts discourse about ageing. In the final part, the contributors discuss how the frames can themselves be experienced at different levels of the division of labour, whether it is by people who work on them (legislators or scientists), by people working with them (professional carers) or by older people themselves. Unpacking the political and moral dimensions of scientific research on ageing, this cutting-edge volume brings together a range of multidisciplinary, European perspectives, and will be of use to all those interested in old age and the social sciences.

Book The Protective Arm of the Renin Angiotensin System  RAS

Download or read book The Protective Arm of the Renin Angiotensin System RAS written by Thomas Unger and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2015-04-18 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Protective Arm of the Renin Angiotensin System: Functional Aspects and Therapeutic Implications is the first comprehensive publication to signal the protective role of a distinct part of the renin–angiotensin system (RAS), providing readers with early insight into a complex system which will become of major medical importance in the near future. Focusing on recent research, The Protective Arm of the Renin Angiotensin System presents a host of new experimental studies on specific components of the RAS, namely angiotensin AT2 receptors (AT2R), the angiotensin (1–7) peptide with its receptor Mas, and the enzyme ACE 2, which exert significant beneficial, health-promoting actions by counterbalancing the well-known harmful arm of the RAS with its classical angiotensin AT1 receptor. This innovative concept of the protective arm of the RAS, examined in this reference, represents an indispensable background and will be a strong support for biomedical students, researchers, cardiologists, surgeons, nephrologists, diabetologists, and endocrinologists, as well as any other physician or researcher concerned with RAS physiology, pathophysiology and clinical implications. Provides a complete understanding of the protective side of the Renin Angiotensin System (RAS) involving angiotensin AT2 receptor, ACE2, and Ang(1-7)/Mas receptor Combines the knowledge of editors who pioneered research on the protective renin angiotensin system including; Dr. Thomas Unger, one of the founders of AT2 receptor research; Dr. Ulrike M. Steckelings, who contributed significantly to first preclinical studies with a novel specific AT2-agonist, and Dr. Robson Santos who pioneered research on angiotensin-(1-7) and its receptor Mas. Shows that the protective RAS axes are able to ameliorate the course of several cardiovascular, renal, metabolic and neurological diseases Provides the basis for the understanding of a novel therapeutic approach to stimulate components of the protective arm of the RAS.

Book A Linguistic History of Arabic

Download or read book A Linguistic History of Arabic written by Jonathan Owens and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2006-05-11 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Linguistic History of Arabic presents a reconstruction of proto-Arabic by the methods of historical-comparative linguistics. It challenges the traditional conceptualization of an old, Classical language evolving into the contemporary Neo-Arabic dialects. Professor Owens combines established comparative linguistic methodology with a careful reading of the classical Arabic sources, such as the grammatical and exegetical traditions. He arrives at a richer and more complex picture of early Arabic language history than is current today and in doing so establishes the basis for a comprehensive, linguistically-based understanding of the history of Arabic. The arguments are set out in a concise, case by case basis, making it accessible to students and scholars of Arabic and Islamic culture, as well as to those studying Arabic and historical linguists.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years, many members of the intellectual community have embraced a radical relativism regarding knowledge in general and scientific knowledge in particular, holding that Kuhn, Quine, and Feyerabend have knocked the traditional picture of scientific knowledge into a cocked hat. Is philosophy of science, or mistaken impressions of it, responsible for the rise of relativism? In this book, Laudan offers a trenchant, wide-ranging critique of cognitive relativism and a thorough introduction to major issues in the philosophy of knowledge.

Book Mega Urban Regions of Southeast Asia

Download or read book Mega Urban Regions of Southeast Asia written by Ira M. Robinson and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 2011-11-01 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A distinguishing feature of recent urbanization in the ASEAN countries of Thailand, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, and Indonesia is the outward extension of their mega-cities (Bangkok, Jakarta, Manila, Singapore, and Kuala Lumpur) beyond the metropolitan borders, resulting in the establishment of new towns, industrial estates, and housing projects in previously rural areas. This process has both positive and negative effects. On one side, household incomes and employment opportunities are increasing, but on the other, the growth often causes serious problems in terms of environmental deterioration, conflicting land uses, and inadequate housing and service provisions. Mega Urban Regions of Southeast Asia is the first comprehensive work on the subject of ASEAN mega-urban regions. The contributors review T.G. McGee's original idea of desakota zones, and offer arguments both for and against this concept, making a significant contribution to our understanding of the true face of ASEAN cities. The book brings together authors from around the world and will be of interest to a wide audience, including demographers, urban planners, geographers, sociologists, economists, civil servants and development consultants.
