Academic Lectures, Debates, Movie Showings and Lecture Series
Welcome at Studium Generale! We offer a programme of lectures, debates and talkshows, lecture series, film-, theatre, and poetry night's and we organise the yearly PAS-festival. We are part of the Student Services Center (SSC) of Maastricht University.
Epigenetic info is very useful. It can tell information about diet, activity, and many other things. It also is useful in studying genetics because methylation has a huge impact on mutations
How correlated culture and genetics are for a given group does tell you something useful about the culture; it speaks to their values. Just like the disproportionate shift of genes with y chromosomes does [movement of men]
There was no blame assigned in the treaty of Versailles. Look at the so-called "war guilt clause" it just says the Germans pay for the damage they caused.
Deze prof zal best wel veel kennis hebben, maar laat hem nooit meer een lezing of voordracht doen. Daar snapt hij niets van, met zijn overvloedige stopwoordjes oke, ja en goed. Wat een vreselijk slechte voordracht!
Principal Component Analysis is based on the fact that whenever different statistical distributions are added the result gets closer to a normal (aka Gaussian) distribution. If we want find two Principal Components then we look for the two sets of data that are farthest from a Gaussian distribution but that when added are equal to the distribution of the complete dataset. It's a very powerful technique that I learned (a bit) when working on Blind (Sound) Source Separation. Blind means we don't know where the speakers nor the microphones are placed; Source are the sound sources (speakers) and separation is ... separation. In our case we used a quantity of microphones equal to the number of sources so we end up with a systme of queations that have n equations and n variables - an NxN linear system. Each equation is the sum of the sources (the sound recorded by each microphone). Since the separation is blind, we don't know the constants (how loud or quiet) so we have to use some techniques that make the contribution of each source to have similar volume. To solve the system we try to find n components that are the furtherst of a Gaussian *and* also orthogonal - none of the components can be created by a linear operation involving the other components. That's called Orthogonal Component Analysis. The problem with Principal Component is that we don't know beforehand how many components there are and that can cause components to be left out or components to artifically be created. I know it's a powerfull tool but one that should be used with care.
2031-2035 zijn er de metingen. Daarna verder bestuderen. Of we dat nog meemaken hangt van onze leeftijd en levensverwachting af. Niet dat het een praktische impact heeft op ons leven op korte termijn.
Johannes Krause claims that at some point European hunter gatherers were all black people (as black as sub-saharan Africans, he says) ... with blue eyes ! Since not only populations but even individuals like that don't exist anywhere at all in the world today, I am not entirely convinced by his analysis. There just might be something wrong with his science.
Covid is a system the program in the devices, the put in TV, Computer, Cellphone, the do in air, you hurt you head, black nose, your throat like you feel you a flue but not, And pressure your head, your heart , brain. You feel choked you neck, the program the electricity the can lesser, radar, drone. Stomach, dizzy, you feel nomonia , the can't sleep , sleepy,dry mouth, the can do anything, you can't swallow the water. What did I do unplug the cable the TV , WiFi computer and any accessories because of the chips program , the obvious the power of AI is worse of nuclear weapons. Climate is electricity the program very hot , very cold , if the program your DNA identity. NASA disasters. Thank you Lord grace of mercy . The rescue me and all over the World. This is the sign the Lord is coming . The omega and alpha the beginning at the end. Because the greedy never satisfied.
Als it het niveau van Studium General is in Maastricht, dan maak ik me serieus zorgen over de wetenschappelijke diepgang aan die universiteit: wat een infantiele benadering......
Zeer mooi, en enthousiast verteld. Ik mis persoonlijk meer van dit soort lezingen en ook documentaires op de bekende streaming platformen. Succes Govert o7
I was surprised he was dismissive of NATO's disastrous decision to consider Ukraine membership and therefore pushing the NATao allaince right up to russia's southern border. It was such an unnecessary thing for Western countries to do. I didn't expect an historian on russia to reply with 'that doesnt justify what Putin did' But nobody said it did. What more and more people in the west are asking is 'was the idea of ukraine joking NATO worth it? Why does NATO need Ukraine inside it? And should western countries being arming Ukraine to fight Russia whrn Ukraine has little chance of winning. Is that not very irresponsible of western countries??
You need more research in the Balkans and unknown Bulgaria,where have bin made alfabet,literacy and old church slavonic(old bulgarian),and first man made gold has bin found and thracian peoples,are burried,with horses.BTW why Old Bulgarian Calendar start 7535 years ago(most accurate,by Unesco)
It's kinda basic.. the genus Homo moved around as opportunities arose. The migration patterns have never been "one way".. Sometimes environmental or geological obstructions created temporary (200,000 years is temporary in geological time) isolation between groups of the genus.. but when able.. they still got together and did what biology has allowed us to continue. Smaller populations mixed with larger populations with specific traits that may not have remained beneficial were not carried to new generations.. "Modern Human" dominant genetics came from a very successful migration from Africa. That means that those genes carried on while those archaic humans that they mixed and mingled with (biology likes sex) had certain genetic traits that may not have been more favorable on an evolutionary basis.. Homo Erectus? 2 million years.. Modern Human? 400,000 to 60 000 depending on who wants to present their version.. I would not be surprised if a modern Homo Sapien could produce viable offspring with what we classify as a homo erectus.... Successful traits, not successful classification, is what drives evolution. Skin color (we now have faily good sunscreen) is not really an evolutionary factor anymore.. Humans are human.. culture, language and sometimes skin color.. not environment, is sadly the new driving force that determines survival.
Amazing lecture on an important phase of history. But the past is never dead. Current geopolitical is as fluid as was in 1914 only difference is way more advanced weapons. God bless our race
The Marxist Co-option of Institutions Affirmed: (1) Carrier pigeons inexplicably don't work for the British, but do for the Americans when they enter the war; (2) Indian sepoys have no problem breaching German trenches at the first such trench-line engagement at the Battle of Neuve Chapelle], 10 March 1915; (3) The British never heard of coordinated attacks, where the second wave is at the ready before the first wave advances towards the German trenches; (4) Both sides construct trenches even though tunnel boring machines have existed since the 1860s, a technology both sides conspire to not utilize in order to easily win the war on the ground;* (5) The British conspire with the Russians to not mine the Danish Straits, allowing for link-up between the two navies, thereby turning the Baltic Sea into an Allied lake, where troop landings can take place across the Baltic coastlines, checkmating any eastward moves by Germany, resulting in Germany unable to enter the war; Germany is allowed to mine the Danish Straits, knowing their strategic importance to the Allies, consequently their strategic importance to the Germans; (6) Great Britain and Russia conspire to not use their minesweepers to clear the Danish Straits, and knock Germany out of the War. “The Indian Corps attacked it [village of Neuve Chapelle] on 10 March [1915]. It was the first recital of a story which was to become familiar: an artillery preparation, puny by later standards, which neither cut the wire properly nor destroyed the machine-guns; the enemy front line overrun, but the second wave of the attack inexplicably delayed for hours; then well-organized counter-attacks… His 2/3rd Gurkhas carried the village and first-line trenches, took three hundred prisoners and dug in. But the Garhwalis lost direction, inclined too much to the right, and came up against a belt of wire in which they tore gaps with bare hands. Eventually, having lost all their British Officers, they took about two hundred yards of enemy trench, but were separated from the rest of the brigade. It was the first time on the Western Front that the German line was broken. But the follow-up was a problem never solved. It was largely a matter of communications: telephone cable wire cut, runners shot and carrier pigeons unreliable. The Garhwali Brigade was in Neuve Chapelle by 9.30 a.m., but the Dehra Dun Brigade in support did not come forward until 4.00 p.m., and by that time the impetus of the attack was lost. They crossed the Des Layes stream, but had barely made contact with the enemy when they were withdrawn behind it.” -- "The Indian Army and the King’s Enemies, 1900-1947", by Charles Chenevix Trench (Thames and Hudson: New York, New York, 1988), p. 41. Unreliable pigeons? How does a homing pigeon become unreliable? Pigeons were reliable for the Americans when they came late into the war. Cut telephone cable? How did Germans get behind the Allied unit to cut the cable? Runners shot? By whom? Germans behind the Allied unit? How did they get there? And why would a support unit wait for even thirty minutes to advance once the initial unit has disappeared from view? Obviously the initial unit would be known to be holding its ground and in need of assistance, since otherwise a rout would have long earlier had sepoy or German combatants returning back to their respective trenches. But this comedic spectacle of Allied imbecility isn’t a mere one-case occurrence at Neuve Chapelle. As Major Trench observes, the Allies refused to learn from their gross errors for the duration of the war, proving that the purpose for the war was to weaken Western Civilization. ------------------------------------------ * In the hope that no one still notices, in 1929 France began construction of its impregnable Maginot Line, stretching from the Italian border to Belgium. Naturally, our Marxist co-opted institutions point out only one of the line's flaws, it's failure to span all of Belgium's border. No mention was made that the line was susceptible to breaching by conventional tunneling methods.
Why is that someone gets to write a pack of absolute lies and yet I can't reply to any of them and actually see my comments when I refresh the page? Absolute BS from RU-vid...
1:06:00 Sir, you just ruined White-Supremacy. Thank you. 1:12:00 I suggest that you compare the genome and the language of the Basque with those of Iran , although the ancient Persian language is very different from today's Persian. 1:18:15
