research on the “super sensory perception” has acquired a share in the ongoing study in the branches of psychology and experiential sciences for the two recent centuries. novel results have been achieved as to the possibility and the course of formation of such perceptions. having assumed an analytical-documentary approach making use of library books, this paper goes to deal with the issue in t...

We analyze global patterns of reconstructed surface temperature for insights into the behavior of the El Niño/Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and related climatic variability during the past three centuries. The global temperature reconstructions are based on calibrations of a large set of globally distributed proxy records, or “multiproxy” data, against the dominant patterns of surface temperature...

Just War Theory can be found in almost all major cultures. But since war was a business that could not be easily stopped, some aimed to constrain it. In its classic form, Just War Theory has been around for several centuries—ever since nationhood in Europe replaced provincial governments. Having made some introductory considerations, I will ask: should Just War Theory be left as it is, changed,...

The popularity of medicinal herbs has grown significantly in recent years despite a dearth of information regarding their modes of action and continuing concerns over their effic...

Abstract Although many temperature time-series reconstructions, constructed on the basis of tree-ring widths, with lengths centuries to millennia have been published for parts southeastern Tibetan Plateau (SETP), field reconstruction has unaddressed date. Here, we present a network comprising 53 chronologies (one δ13C chronology, one regional maximum latewood density and 51 width chronologies)....

BACKGROUND Chronological information on the composition and structure of agrocenoses and detailed features of land cover referring to specific areas are uncommon in ethnobotanical studies, especially for periods before the XIX century. The aim of this study was to analyse the type of crop or the characteristics of soil cover from the XVI century to the present. METHODS This diachronic analysi...
