Environmental
economics is a branch of economics, which deals with the question of the causes and solutions of environmental problems. Ecological economics considers the economy to be a part of the ecosystem, which focuses on preserving natural capital.

Artificial
intelligence is a branch of computer science, which studies such disciplines as fuzzy logic, evolutionary computation, neural networks, artificial life, and robotics. The main object of its study is the rules of the intelligent human behavior, the creation of formal models of these behaviors, and – as a result – computer programs that simulate the behavior.

In the article, Turing explored the problem and proposed an experiment now known as the Turing test in an attempt to define a standard, which would test machines ability to exhibit human-like behavior.

Yoga
is an Indian philosophical and religious doctrine that includes a series of mental and physical exercises such as Yama, Niyama, Asana, Pranayama, Pratyahara, Kriyas, meditation, and asceticism. The term yoga means both control and integration in the sense of guiding the body to understand the soul for their unification in God.
In a narrow sense, yoga is one of the six classical schools (Darshanas) of Indian philosophy, which teaches that human soul can become one with God and attain the highest good through self-awareness, self-discovery, completely freeing your mind from the influences of the outside world. The ultimate goal of yoga is moksha, liberation from the cycle of birth and death (samsara) and all the suffering and limitations of material existence. Read the rest of this entry »

1.
There are three perspectives on domestic violence: political, social learning and frustration-aggression ones. All of these perspectives should be taken into account, as there are various factors that can induce violence. That’s why these perspectives are of importance. The political perspective explains domestic violence quite clearly. It is obvious that women are much more likely to be injured. Usually women are the ones who are beaten up. The social learning perspective is also reasonable. It means that the possibility of using violence consolidates firmly in child’s consciousness. A child who experienced violence can easily accept it and use in his own family. This perspective confirms the political one as it states that men are more likely to be violent. The frustration-aggression perspective is also important, as there are a lot of battering myths where the violent behavior occurs during temporary insanity, when a person is anger, frustrated, aggressive because of unrealized goals and unsatisfied needs.
