38. THE THEORY OF VIOLENCE

The focus of the theories of violence is the phenomenon of human aggressiveness. We note at least four areas of research and explanation of human aggressiveness:

▪ ethological theories of violence (social Darwinism) explain aggressiveness by the fact that man is a social animal, and society is the bearer and reproducer of the instincts of the animal world. The boundless expansion of the freedom of the individual without the necessary level of development of his culture increases the aggressiveness of some and the defenselessness of others. This situation was called "lawlessness" - absolute lawlessness in the relations of people and in the actions of the authorities;

▪ Freudian, Neo-Freudian and Existentialism argue that the aggressiveness of a person is the result of the frustration of an alienated personality. Aggressiveness is caused by social causes (Freudianism takes it out of the Oedipus complex). Consequently, the main attention in the fight against crime should be paid to the structure of society;

▪ interactionism sees the cause of people's aggressiveness in a "conflict of interest", incompatibility of goals;

▪ representatives cognitivism believe that a person's aggressiveness is the result of "cognitive dissonance", that is, inconsistencies in the cognitive sphere of the subject. Inadequate perception of the world, conflicting consciousness as a source of aggression, lack of mutual understanding are associated with the structure of the brain.

Researchers distinguish two types of aggression: emotional violence and antisocial violence, i.e. violence against the freedoms, interests, health and life of someone. Human aggression, more precisely, crime as a consequence of the weakening of self-regulation of behavior, in its own way, is trying to explain human genetics.

The existence of an entropy rule for quantum entanglement has been proven 09.05.2024

Quantum mechanics continues to amaze us with its mysterious phenomena and unexpected discoveries. Recently, Bartosz Regula from the RIKEN Center for Quantum Computing and Ludovico Lamy from the University of Amsterdam presented a new discovery that concerns quantum entanglement and its relation to entropy. Quantum entanglement plays an important role in modern quantum information science and technology. However, the complexity of its structure makes understanding and managing it challenging. Regulus and Lamy's discovery shows that quantum entanglement follows an entropy rule similar to that for classical systems. This discovery opens new perspectives in the field of quantum information science and technology, deepening our understanding of quantum entanglement and its connection to thermodynamics. The results of the study indicate the possibility of reversibility of entanglement transformations, which could greatly simplify their use in various quantum technologies. Opening a new rule ... >>

Energy from space for Starship 08.05.2024

Producing solar energy in space is becoming more feasible with the advent of new technologies and the development of space programs. The head of the startup Virtus Solis shared his vision of using SpaceX's Starship to create orbital power plants capable of powering the Earth. Startup Virtus Solis has unveiled an ambitious project to create orbital power plants using SpaceX's Starship. This idea could significantly change the field of solar energy production, making it more accessible and cheaper. The core of the startup's plan is to reduce the cost of launching satellites into space using Starship. This technological breakthrough is expected to make solar energy production in space more competitive with traditional energy sources. Virtual Solis plans to build large photovoltaic panels in orbit, using Starship to deliver the necessary equipment. However, one of the key challenges ... >>

Perishable labels 02.01.2009

The National Taiwan University has developed a printing ink that gradually fades under the influence of atmospheric oxygen.

If you print a label for a perishable product with this ink, you can adjust the fading rate so that by the time the shelf life expires, the label has completely lost its inscriptions. To do this, the text is covered with a polymer film that is slightly permeable to oxygen, and the fading rate depends on the thickness of the film.
