The emergence and evolution of life are a continuum of processes governed by thermodynamics, which allows the continuous formation of increasingly complex systems able to store information and utilize energy. The current paradigm of evolution involves vertical inheritance, where organisms inherit genetic information from their progenitors and pass this genetic heritage to their descendants through reproduction. However, a growing body of evidence supports an alternative view of evolution as a di...

The natural water cycle is the largest transportation system and the major climate cooling element together with photosynthesis and wind powered by the sun. Water is a pure substance that picks and carries a huge load during its natural cycle on the earth, in the bio systems, in washing and cleaning, in medical care as well as in agriculture, power generation and industrial processes. It gets rid of the load by evaporation powered by the sun and wind, and leaves the civilization waste in the wat...

Lisfranc fractures present unique challenges to surgeons due to the complex anatomy and small irregular bone structures where fracture reduction and realignment must be precise to achieve an optimal result for the patient. The choice of surgical technique, internal fixation used, and choice of bone graft (if fusion is required) are key aspects to consider for successful treatment. The following case describes a complicated Lisfranc fracture in a morbidly obese women where TMT fusion and ORIF wer...

Solar power engineering technology is currently regularly applied in renovation or transformation of monuments. Synergies between solar power engineering and monument care principles outweigh conflicts. However, mass development of photovoltaics is a phenomenon of a quite different category. Compared to the traditional, longterm use of solar power in architecture of historical environment, mass development of photovoltaics is far more offensive from the perspective of the pressure on overall tra...
