The paper aims to contribute the ongoing conversation on critical phenomenology with reflections its method. key argument is that should be understood as a form of historico-transcendental inquiry and therefore it cannot forgo phenomenological reduction. Rather, this methodological step centered in phenomenology, appropriated problematized rethought forms. assessment has implications also for h...

The study investigated the levels of awareness and use of agricultural insurance scheme in Kogi State of Nigeria. A total of 240 respondents from eight communities were selected through a multistage random sampling technique. Data collected through structured questionnaire were analyzed using descriptive statistic, percentages and sigma scoring model. The results revealed that farmers in the St...

In the April 2002 edition of JCS I outlined the conscious electromagnetic information field (cemi field) theory, claiming that consciousness is that component of the brain’s electromagnetic field that is downloaded to motor neurons and is thereby capable of communicating its informational content to the outside world. In this paper I demonstrate that the theory is robust to criticisms. I furthe...

We seek general principles of the structure of the cellular collective activity associated with conscious awareness. Can we obtain evidence for features of the optimal brain organization that allows for adequate processing of stimuli and that may guide the emergence of cognition and consciousness? Analyzing brain recordings in conscious and unconscious states, we followed initially the classic ...

Progress in intensive care has increased the number of patients who survive severe acute brain injury. Nevertheless, whereas some patients recover quickly, others take more time and pass through different states of altered consciousness (coma, vegetative state, minimally conscious state) before recovering a normal state of conscious awareness. Still other patients will remain in a more permanen...

Significantly more restful wakefulness was seen during the TM technique as compared to napping (p < .001) and significantly more sleep during napping than during TM (p < .001 ). Furthermore, significantly more high amplitude alpha activity was recorded during TM (p < .05). The findings clearly distinguish Transcendental Meditation from ordinary napping or rest and indicate that the TM technique...

Is our visual experience of the world graded or dichotomous? Opposite pre-theoretical intuitions apply in different cases. For instance, when looking at a scene, one has a distinct sense that our experience has a graded character: one cannot say that there is no experience of contents that fall outside the focus of attention, but one cannot say that there is full awareness of such contents eith...

Single mass scale diagrams: construction of a basis for the ε-expansion. Abstract Exploring the idea of Broadhurst on the " sixth root of unity " we present an ansatz for construction of a basis of transcendental numbers for the ε-expansion of single mass scale diagrams with two particle massive cut. As example, several new two-and three-loop master integrals are calculated.

The Personal Orientation Inventory (POI) profile of Maharishi International University (MIU) students who practiced the Transcendental Meditation technique regularly was compared to profiles presented in the POI manual for a group of college students and for a group of relatively self-actualized people. MIU students scored significantly higher than nonmeditating college students on eight of the...
