Reason and Intuition01:37

Reason and Intuition

7.1K
The human brain processes information for decision-making using one of two routes: an intuitive system and a rational system (Epstein, 1994; popularized by Kahneman, 2011 as System 1 and System 2, respectively). The intuitive system is quick, impulsive, and operates with minimal effort, relying on emotions or habits to provide cues for what to do next, while the rational system is logical, analytical, deliberate, and methodical. Research in neuropsychology suggests that the...

Integrator and Differentiator

Op-amp circuits have significant applications in various fields, including automotive engineering. One such application is cruise control systems in cars, where op-amp circuits are integral for maintaining a constant speed. In these systems, op-amps function as both integrators and differentiators.
An integrator within an op-amp circuit produces an output directly proportional to the integral of the input signal. This is achieved by replacing the feedback resistor in a typical inverting...

Activation of Integrins01:15

Activation of Integrins

3.8K
Integrins bind ligands and transmit information from outside the cell to inside or vice-versa through an "outside-in signaling" or "inside-out signaling."
In "outside-in signaling," external factors in the extracellular space bind to exposed ligand binding sites on integrins. This causes the inactive protein to undergo a conformational change to become active. Integrins are often clustered on the cell membrane. Repetitive and regularly spaced ligand binding...

Animal and protozoan cells do not have cell walls to help maintain shape and provide structural stability. Instead, these eukaryotic cells secrete a sticky mass of carbohydrates and proteins into the spaces between adjacent cells. This network of proteins and molecules is called an extracellular matrix or ECM.
Some ECM proteins assemble into a basement membrane to which the remaining components adhere. Proteoglycans typically form the bulk of the ECM while fibrous proteins, like collagen,...

Instinctive Drift01:05

Instinctive Drift

369
Instinctive drift refers to the tendency of animals to revert to their innate behaviors despite repeated reinforcement. Breland and Breland demonstrated this concept in an experiment with a raccoon. The raccoon was trained to pick up two coins and place them in a container in exchange for food. Initially, the raccoon learned to associate the coins with food, making them a conditioned stimulus or a substitute for food. However, over time, the raccoon became less willing to put the coins into the...

Introspection01:29

Introspection

26
Introspection, long upheld as a reliable route to self-knowledge, involves examining one's thoughts, emotions, and mental processes. It underpins many psychological practices, from mindfulness meditation to psychotherapy and self-help strategies. However, empirical evidence challenges the accuracy of introspection as a means of understanding oneself.Limitations of Introspective InsightSeminal work by Nisbett and Wilson demonstrated that individuals are frequently unaware of the true causes...

Area of Science:

  • Sustainability science, social-ecological systems analysis, causality studies.

Background:

  • Growing interest in causality within sustainability science necessitates diverse approaches.
  • Current causality frameworks often separate causal agents from background conditions, limiting comprehensive analysis of social-ecological dynamics.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To challenge the rigid distinction between causal elements and background conditions in social-ecological systems.
  • To explore the causal agency of background conditions using Karen Barad's concept of "cuts" and a process-relational perspective.
  • To offer an alternative framework for understanding and transforming social-ecological systems.

Main Methods:

  • Re-examining the Baltic cod collapse as a case study to illustrate the limitations of traditional causality.
  • Applying a process-relational perspective, incorporating concepts of intra-action and performativity.
  • Drawing on pragmatist philosophy to introduce the concept of intuition as an analytical tool.

Main Results:

  • The study reveals how the separation of social and ecological factors, enforced by development-oriented policies, contributed to the Baltic cod collapse.
  • Background conditions, previously overlooked, possess significant causal agency.
  • A process-relational approach, integrating intra-action and performativity, offers a more holistic understanding of system dynamics.

Conclusions:

  • The dichotomy between cause and condition is artificial and hinders understanding of complex social-ecological phenomena.
  • Rethinking causality through a process-relational lens and concepts like intuition provides a more nuanced approach to analyzing and transforming social-ecological systems.
