Summary
We propose trans-disciplinary monitoring of blood pressure and heart rate to detect environmental cycles and monitor personal/societal health. Understanding cosmic and genetic inheritance reveals genetically anchored biological rhythms influencing health outcomes.
Area of Science:
- Chronobiology
- Environmental Health
- Genetics
Background:
- Specialization in scientific research is prevalent.
- Biological rhythms, including circadian, ultradian, and infradian cycles, are genetically determined.
- Environmental factors and cosmic cycles influence biological systems.
Purpose of the Study:
- To advocate for trans-disciplinary monitoring of physiological data (blood pressure, heart rate).
- To identify signatures of environmental variabilities (space weather, terrestrial weather) and their impact on health.
- To explore the connection between cosmic cycles, genetic inheritance, and health patterns.
Main Methods:
- Monitoring blood pressure and heart rate for cyclic patterns.
- Analyzing environmental data (solar emissions, geomagnetic activity, UV flux, gravitation).
- Correlating physiological data with environmental cycles and health outcomes.
Main Results:
- Identified infradian cycles linked to sudden cardiac death, suicide, and terrorism.
- Demonstrated genetically anchored biological rhythms (circadian, ultradian, infradian).
- Highlighted the influence of nonphotic environmental factors on health patterns.
Conclusions:
- Trans-disciplinary monitoring offers insights into environmental influences on health.
- Understanding biological rhythms and their cosmic/genetic origins is crucial for health surveillance.
- Novel patterns and potential laws may emerge from studying these complex interactions.

01:29Non-nuclear Inheritance
Most DNA resides in the nucleus of a cell. However, some organelles in the cell cytoplasm—such as chloroplasts and mitochondria—also have their own DNA. These organelles replicate their DNA independently of the nuclear DNA of the cell in which they reside. Non-nuclear inheritance describes the inheritance of genes from structures other than the nucleus.

02:30Genomic Imprinting and Inheritance
Diploid organisms inherit genetic material through chromosomes from both parents. Copies of the same gene are known as alleles. In most cases, both alleles are simultaneously expressed and allow various cellular processes to function optimally. If one of the alleles is missing or mutated, the expression of the other allele can compensate; however, this is not true for all genes.

01:25Inheritance
Gregor Mendel's pioneering work on the principles of inheritance fundamentally transformed our understanding of how traits are transmitted from generation to generation. His experiments with pea plants laid the groundwork for the discovery of genes, discrete units within organisms that control heredity.
Each gene exists in pairs, and the combination of these genes from both parents forms an individual's genotype. This genotype is a blueprint of potential traits. Examples of genotype traits...

01:27Nursing Ethical Principles II
Ethical principles are essential in guiding nurses to fulfill their responsibilities, focusing on the quality of nursing care and decision-making. These principles, including autonomy, beneficence, non-maleficence, justice, and fidelity, shape the ethical framework within healthcare settings.
