Memory Improved 20% by Nature Walk « PsyBlog - 0 views

  • Marc G. Berman and colleagues at the University of Michigan wanted to test the effect of a walk’s scenery on cognitive function (Berman, Jonides & Kaplan, 2008; PDF).
  • In the first of two studies participants were given a 35 minute task involving repeating loads of random numbers back to the experimenter, but in reverse order.
  • The results showed that people’s performance on the test improved by almost 20% after wandering amongst the trees. By comparison those subjected to a busy street did not reliably improve on the test.
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • In the second study participants weren’t even allowed to leave the lab but instead some stared at pictures of natural scenes while others looked at urban environments. The improvements weren’t quite as impressive as the first study, but, once again, the trees and fields beat the roads and lampposts.
  • These results replicated a previous study by Berto (2005) who found that just viewing pictures of natural scenes had a restorative effect on cognitive function.
  • So just as we might have predicted nature is a kind of natural cognitive enhancer, helping our brain let off steam so it can cruise back up to full functioning.
  • When our minds need refreshing and if natural scenery is accessible, we should take the opportunity. If not then just looking at pictures of nature is a reasonable second best.
  •  
    New study finds that short-term memory is improved 20% by walking in nature, or even just by looking at an image of a natural scene.

Türk Yargısına Açık Mektup | Çek Mağdurları - 0 views

  •  
    ON BİR AYDIR DEVAM EDEN HUKUK SKANDALINA KİM SON VERECEK? 1 Ocak 2009 tarihinden itibaren uygulanması hukuken mümkün olmayan 3167 Sayılı Çek Yasasının ceza içeren hükümleri çoğu mahkemelerce uygulanmaya devam edilmekte ve Yüksek Mahkeme de bu durumu maalesef onaylamaktadır. Uygulanamayacağı yasa ile düzenlenen, bu nedenle yasal olarak yok hükmünde olan bir kurala göre ceza vermek, gerek Anayasa'da yapılan temel haklar ile ilgili düzenlemelere, temel hak ve özgürlükleri içeren Uluslararası Sözleşme hükümlerine ve gerekse Türk Ceza Kanunun 2. maddesinde düzenlenen "kanunun açıkça suç saymadığı bir fiil için kimseye ceza verilemez " kuralına da aykırıdır. Diğer taraftan TCK'nın genel hükümlerine aykırılık içeren mevcut çek yasasının ilgili maddelerini uygulamak imkanı kalmadığı için, "suçun cezasız kalacağı" gerekçesiyle bu boşluğu kıyas veya kıyasa yol açacak biçimde genişletici yorum yapmak yoluyla doldurmak ta TCK'nın 2/3 maddesi kapsamında mümkün değildir. Suçun cezasız kalması, kanun koyucunun sorumluluğundadır.

Çek yasası ile ilgili haberler | Çek Mağdurları - 0 views

    Karşılıksız çek sorunları hala çözülemedi, yaşanan bunca Adaletsizlik ve Hukuksuzluğa rağmen çek yasası çıkmadığı gibi, iktidar partisi bir yıl süreyle erteleme işini bile becerememiş gözüküyor. Adalet Bakanı Sadullah Ergin'in bu soruna yaklaşım tarzınız biliyoruz ve gerek basında gerekse TBMM konuşmalarında gayet net ifadeyle " Çek Mağdurlarının sorunu bizim sorunumuzdur, nasip olur en yakın bir zamanda müjde veririz demiştir. Ekonomiden sorumlu Devlet Bakanı ve Başbakan Yardımcısı Sayın Ali Babacan, çek yasası ile ilgili olarak basına yaptığı açıklamalarda, kısa ve öz kelimelerle Karşılıksız Çek hapsinin hem Evrensel hukuk kurallarına, hemde Ticari yaşam kurallarına aykırılığına değinerek kesin ve net şekilde görüşünü belirtmiştir.
