  The Veiled Universe - Exploring...

  Dark matter is one of the most elusive and mysterious components of the universe. Though it cannot be directly observed through traditional means such as light, it is believed to make up about 27% of the universe's total mass and energy content. This strange substance does not emit, absorb, or reflect light, making it invisible to our telescopes and detectors. Its existence is inferred primarily through its gravitational effects on visible matter, such as galaxies and galaxy clusters. Without dark matter, the movement of galaxies would not make sense based on the gravitational pull of visible matter alone. 
  The concept of dark matter was first proposed in the early 20th century. In 1933, Swiss astronomer Fritz Zwicky observed that the galaxies within the Coma galaxy cluster were moving faster than expected based on the visible matter alone. He suggested that there must be some unseen mass, which he called “dark matter,” providing the additional gravitational pull needed to keep the galaxies from flying apart. Since then, astronomers have found similar evidence in other galaxy clusters, and the hypothesis of dark matter has become a cornerstone of modern cosmology. 
  Despite the compelling evidence for dark matter, its exact nature remains unknown. Various theories have been proposed, with the most widely accepted one suggesting that dark matter consists of weakly interacting massive particles, or WIMPs. These hypothetical particles would interact through gravity and possibly the weak nuclear force, but not through electromagnetic forces, which would explain why they do not emit light. However, despite decades of searching, no direct detection of WIMPs has been made. This has led to the consideration of alternative explanations, such as axions, sterile neutrinos, and other exotic particles.

  The Moral Circle - Who Matters...

  Today, human exceptionalism is the norm. Despite occasional nods to animal welfare, we prioritize humanity, often neglecting the welfare of a vast number of beings. As a result, we use hundreds of billions of vertebrates and trillions of invertebrates every year for a variety of purposes, often unnecessarily. We also plan to use animals, AI systems, and other nonhumans at even higher levels in the future. Yet as the dominant species, humanity has a responsibility to ask: Which nonhumans matter, how much do they matter, and what do we owe them in a world reshaped by human activity and technology? 
   
   
   
  In The Moral Circle, philosopher Jeff Sebo challenges us to include all potentially significant beings in our moral community, with transformative implications for our lives and societies. 
   
   
   
  This book explores provocative case studies such as lawsuits over captive elephants and debates over factory-farmed insects, and compels us to consider future ethical quandaries, such as whether to send microbes to new planets, and whether to create virtual worlds filled with digital minds. Taking an expansive view of human responsibility, Sebo argues that building a positive future requires the shedding of human exceptionalism and radically rethinking our place in the world.

  Medical Biochemistry - The...

  Medical biochemistry is a field that sits at the intersection of chemistry, biology, and medicine, exploring the chemical processes and substances that govern the functioning of living organisms. It plays a vital role in understanding the molecular basis of health and disease, providing essential insights into how cells, tissues, and organs interact and function. This branch of biochemistry is not only concerned with the fundamental biochemistry of life but also with how biochemical mechanisms influence disease development, progression, and treatment. By examining the chemical foundations of biological systems, medical biochemistry helps bridge the gap between basic science and clinical practice. 
  The scope of medical biochemistry is vast, encompassing a variety of topics including metabolism, enzymology, molecular genetics, and cell signaling. At the core of this discipline is the study of how nutrients and biomolecules such as proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, and nucleic acids are involved in cellular function. Understanding how the body uses these molecules for energy, structure, and regulation is essential for comprehending how metabolic disorders, genetic conditions, and cancers arise. Additionally, the molecular mechanisms of drug action and response are grounded in biochemistry, making it an essential field for the development of therapeutic interventions. 
  Medical biochemistry also serves as a key tool in diagnostics. Through the identification of biomarkers, which are specific biochemical indicators of disease states, clinicians are able to detect and monitor various health conditions, including metabolic disorders, cardiovascular diseases, and cancers. Advances in technology, such as the development of genetic testing, enzyme assays, and high-throughput screening methods, have expanded the ability to identify and analyze these biomarkers, thereby enhancing the precision of medical diagnoses.

  A narrator and her dog are criss-crossing the Swiss Alps. She travels with friends who share her interest in food, languages and their topographical contexts. They collect colours, even look for colourlessness, and develop the idea of a walk-in diary, a vain attempt to archive their observations.
  Gradually, other mountains appear in their observations and memories, as do the mountains of literature and art. Mountains may be sites of fear and awe, of narrow-mindedness, racism and ever-looming collapse; Alpine lodges may be places of hospitality, retreat and unexpected encounters; of nature under threat.
  In 515 notes, Zsuzsanna Gahse unfolds a finely woven interplay between her six characters while giving us a vivid panorama of mountain worlds, a multi-layered typology of all things mountainish.
