The sound of music and other techniques to help kids deal

[1] I remember the appointment vividly. My infant daughter waited unknowingly for the
shots; my 2-year-old son, worried, began to sing her favourite song. My son and I got
our faces up close and touched my daughter's hands and belly while the doctor
administered the immunizations in her thigh. Baby Audrey winced momentarily, then
returned to smiling as she gazed up at us. I was amazed, and my son felt empowered.
[2] It turns out that there's science to support our actions. A growing body of research
shows what many parents know instinctively: Music is an effective way to distract
young children from painful medical procedures.
[3] “It's one more tool we have in our handbag to help
children,” said Lisa Hartling, director of the Alberta
Research Center for Health Evidence in Canada,
who has studied the role of music in mitigating
medical-procedure stress in kids.
[4] Hartling co-authored a study this year that
measured the effect of recorded music during the
insertion of an intravenous line. Researchers
monitored pain and distress in 42 children, ages 3
to 11, before and after the procedure. Half received
standard emergency room care; the other half
listened to musical selections played via room
speakers. The IV insertion was distressing to all
kids, but researchers observed twice as many signs
of distress in kids who weren't exposed to music as
in those who were. Pain, as reported by the kids,
increased with the procedure in those who didn't
have the music, but remained low in those who did.
[5] Not just any music will do the trick, according to Hartling. The purpose is to distract
rather than soothe, she explains, and booming, complicated music is most effective at
this. One piece used in the study was “Jupiter” from the symphony “The Planets.” “It's
very energetic, with lots of sounds and themes,” Hartling says.
[6] Other useful techniques include storytelling, guided imagery (talking to kids about a
special place or event), blowing soap bubbles and, not surprisingly, tablet games.
Sipping sugar water, sitting in parents' laps and deep breathing can also help mitigate
children's pain in the doctor's office or the emergency room.
[7] Such distractions might require a rethinking of the doctor visit.

Unioeste 2° Dia 2014Climate change "spreads crop pests"
Global warming is helping pests and diseases that attack crops to spread around the world, according to a new study published in the journal Nature Climate Change.
Researchers from the universities of Exeter and Oxford have found that crop pests are moving towards the North and South poles as regions warm.
The researchers looked at more than 600 crop pests from around the world. These included fungi, such as wheat rust, which is devastating harvests in Africa and the Middle East; insects like the mountain pine beetle that's destroying trees in the US; as well as bacteria, viruses and microscopic nematode worms.
They found that over the past 50 years, these destructive species have been on the move. On average, they're spreading 3 km every year, shifting north and south towards the poles.
The scientists say this correlates with warming temperatures, allowing the pests to take hold in areas that were once too cold for them to live in.
Currently, between 10 % and 20% of the world's crops are lost to pests and the team warns that rising global temperatures could make the problem worse. The researchers say that improved surveillance of the problem is needed.

UFU 2° Dia 2014/2Researchers have created a wearable device that is as thin as a temporary tattoo and can store and transmit data about a person’s movements, receive diagnostic information and release drugs into skin.
Similar efforts to develop ‘electronic skin’ abound, but the device is the first that can store information and also deliver medicine — combining patient treatment and monitoring. Its creators, who report their findings today in Nature Nanotechnology, say that the technology could one day aid patients with movement disorders such as Parkinson’s disease or epilepsy.

The Question
Is it possible that in the future we will live on another planet?
[1] It's hard to say whether in the future we will live on another planet. The Earth provides
for us the right balance of necessary conditions so that we can live in reasonable
comfort without artificial aid. Through advances in technology, we might certainly be able
to create an environment in which we could live on almost any other planet (e.g. a space
[5] suit is a miniature of such an environment). But whether another planet out in space
harbors conditions similar enough to earth that we would need little or no "artificial
environment" is unknown. We might think that such another planet ought to exist, but it
doesn't mean that it necessarily does.
The role of science is to take us from what we think might be true to what really is true
[10] and possible. In order for us to live on another planet, we must first find other planets
(this is an active field of research that astronomers are now making great progress in),
determine whether they are suitable for us, and then travel to them. All of these require
significant advances in our knowledge and technology. This is not to say that it is beyond
our capabilities, but rather to consider what would need to be done to do it.
[15] It is a question worth pondering, and by thinking about it we can certainly learn many
exciting things along the way.
I hope this helps,
