Chatting with Ana Vovk in the rhythm of nature: Why is it important to live in harmony with nature?
Chatting with Ana Vovk in the rhythm of nature: Why is it important to live in harmony with nature?
Planet Earth has limited ability of self-renewal. Disruption of natural cycles manifests itself in exceeding the planetary limits of nature’s regeneration which is reflected in contaminated water, the disappearance of glaciers, resulting in rising sea levels and floods, climate change, biodiversity loss, ocean acidification and ozone depletion. These consequences increasingly affect the difficult existence on our planet. This calls for…

Will We Soon be Treated by Intelligent Robots instead of Doctors?
Will We Soon be Treated by Intelligent Robots instead of Doctors?
Artificial intelligence technologies demonstrate outstanding potential in all areas, including in medicine. In recent years, there have been breakthroughs in the fields of diagnosis, interpretation of diagnostic images as well as patient monitoring and control. Large language models can qualitatively summarise the patient's condition and advise the physician on his or her treatment. Personal medicine is being developed, in which…

Chatting with Ana Vovk in the rhythm of nature: Permaculture as a way of living with nature
Chatting with Ana Vovk in the rhythm of nature: Permaculture as a way of living with nature
Over a hundred years ago, they discovered that we can grow food without changing and subordinating the soil and that it is more useful to follow the example of how nature itself produces food and we imitate it. This is called permacultural or sustainable farming that is not limited by human boundaries, but supported by natural dimensions. Everyone can take…
