Life Sciences

life sciences focus on a specific type of organism. For example, zoology is the study of animals, while botany is the study of plants. Other life sciences focus on aspects common to all or many life forms, such as anatomy and genetics. Some focus on the micro-scale (e.g. molecular biology, biochemistry) other on larger scales (e.g. cytology, immunology, ethology, pharmacy, ecology). Another major branch of life sciences involves understanding the mind – neuroscience. Life sciences discoveries are helpful in improving the quality and standard of life and have applications in health, agriculture, medicine, and the pharmaceutical and food science industries.

Pengaruh Aspuan Lipid-Protein Dan Polimorfisme Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (Shbg) Terhadap Kadar Shbg Pada Pria Indonesia Dan Kaukasia

Tim peneliti di bagian Biologi FKUI sedang melakukan penelitian untuk mengetahui apakah ada perbedaan kadar Sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) dan polimorfisme DNA (gen) antara pria dewasa normal pada tingkat social ekonomi rendah dibandingkan dengan tingkat social ekonomi menengah/tinggi. Hingga sekarang belum diketahui apakah faktor nutrisi (gizi) dan faktor keturunan berpengaruh terhadap kadar SHBG. Lima puluh pria Indonesia dewasa normal dari tingkat sosial ekonomi rendah dan lima puluh pria dewasa normal dari tingkat sosial ekonomi menengah/tinggi serta tiga puluh empat pria Kaukasia dewasa normal akan diikutsertakan dalam penelitian ini. Kesediaan anda sebagai relawan sangat diharapkan untuk ikut serta dalam penelitian ini. Penelitian pada kelompok monyet (Macaca fascicularis) yang diberi pakan pola barat (western diet) dan kelompok monyet yang diberi pakan pola Asia (Asian diet), dan disuntik dengan obat kontrasepsi (testosteron enantat dan depot medroksiprogesteron asetat) menunjukkan perbedaan jumlah dan mutu sperma. Monyet yang diberi pakan pola barat, memiliki jumlah dan mutu sperma yang lebih baik.

Sociology: Challenges and Reflections

Sociology, the science that, in the analysis of the complexity of social reality, relates the social to the social (Durkheim). What is it, what is it for, how is it done, how is it taught, what does it mean to be a sociologist? These are some of the questions that are on the basis of this book, as a contribution to the analysis of some of the contemporary challenges Sociology faces. This work consists of a collection of some published articles that address subjects such as the issue of Sociology being a form of scientific knowledge that, building its object of analysis through the mobilisation of the theory of its body of knowledge, seeks to account for social reality, always reflecting critically on its activity. This book intends to articulate rigour with a pedagogical component, inasmuch that several of the chapters were underpinned by our activity as teachers.

Today is the time of revelations as regards a deadlock of those development concepts that brought results as far back as the XX century. At present, there is a need for systemic reconsideration and critical analysis of the methods for management and company organization. Notwithstanding the transience of life carrying away and distracting from crucial issues the human society really gives rise to sense of insecurity of the future, stipulates changes taking place, generates contradictions and aggravates the problems of further growth. And all this is observed in, generally speaking, calm world without major confrontations and military operations taking place. The goals in life connected with consumerism and de-emphasis for cultural values dominating some time ago continue to be changed too. Their avoidance of participation in the creation of public domain is in evidence as well as a desire to evade taxes being observed in former times is also transferred to larger spheres, including the financial spheres, that is, the ones wherein the material benefits are not created in a general sense but grandiose money turnovers are carried out through them. This leads to enhanced parasitism of some spheres over the other against the background of abuses and corruption of various kinds that become mass. Therefore, the global financial crises and recessions come about with ever increasing frequency.
