Mindfulness: An Ancient Wisdom for the Reconceptualisation of Modern Education in the Complex World

Exploring the new science of emergence allows us to create a very different classroom than how the modern classroom has been conceptualised under the mentality of efficiency and output. Working on the whole person, and not just the mind, we see a shift from the epistemic pillars of truth to more ontological concerns as regards student achievement in our post-Modern and critical discourses. It is important to understand these shifts and how we are to transition our own perception and mentality not only in our research methodologies but also our approach to conceptualisations of issues in education and sustainability. We can no longer think linearly to approach complex problems or advocate for education and disregard our interconnectedness insofar as it enhances our children’s education. We must, therefore, contemplate and transition to a world that is ecological and not mechanical, complex and not complicated—in essence, we must work to link mind-body with self-environment and transcend these in order to bring about an integration toward a sustainable future. A fundamental shift in consciousness and perception may implicate our nature of creating dichotomous entities in our own microcosms, yet postmodern theorists assume, a priori, that these dualities can be bridged in naturalism alone. I, on the other hand, embrace metaphysics to understand the implicated modern classroom in a hierarchical context and ask: is not the very omission of metaphysics in postmodern discourse a symptom from an education whose foundation was built in its absence? The very dereliction of ancient wisdom in education is very peculiar indeed. Western mindfulness may play a vital component in consummating pragmatic idealism, but only under circumstances admitting metaphysics can we truly transcend our limitations, thereby placing Eastern Mindfulness not as an ecological component, but as an ecological and metaphysical foundation.

Bacterial ecology of ancient Saharan salt-enrichment ponds at Teguidda-n-Tessoumt

Little is known about the bacterial ecology of evaporative salt-mining sites (salterns) of which Teguidda-n-Tessoumt at the fringe of the West-African Saharan desert in Niger is a spectacular example with its many-centuries-old and very colorful evaporation ponds. During the different enrichment steps of the salt produced as a widely traded feed supplement for cattle, animal manure is added to the crude brine, which is then desiccated and repeatedly crystallized. This study describes the dominant Bacteria and Archaea communites in the brine from the evaporation ponds and the soil from the mine, which were determined by PCR-DGGE of 16S rDNA. Correspondence analysis of the DGGE-community fingerprints revealed a change in community structure of the brine samples during the sequential evaporation steps which was, however, unaffected by the brine's pH and electric conductivity (EC). The Archaea community was dominated by a phylogenetically diverse group of methanogens, while the Bacteria community was dominated by gamma proteobacteria. Microorganisms contained in the purified salt product have the potential to be broadly disseminated and are fed to livestock across the region. In this manner, the salt mines represent an intriguing example of long-term human activity that has contributed to the continual selection, cultivation, and dissemination of cosmopolitan microorganisms.

Myths and civilization of the ancient greeks. Mitos y civilización de la antigua Grecia.

Los antiguos griegos nos han dejado un rico legado de historias inspiradas en sus dioses, diosas y héroes, que fueron posteriormente adoptadas por los antiguos romanos cuando les desplazaron de la hegemonía sobre el Mediterráneo. Desde entonces, la civilización griega ha ejercido una profunda influencia en la formación de la cultura occidental, pues creó la democracia y el alfabeto moderno, y sentó las bases de las matemáticas, la filosofía, la astronomía y la medicina. En esta obra, se muestra como estan entrelazadas la mitología griega con aspectos de su civilización.

Ancient Egypt.

La historia del Antiguo Egipto se extiende desde el 3.100 antes de Cristo hasta al año 30 antes de Cristo,en que se convierte en provincia del Imperio Romano. Se destaca la importancia del río Nilo en el nacimiento de la civilización egipcia, aspectos y creencias religiosos y su repercusión : vida de ultratumba, momificación, construcción de las pirámides,aspectos sociales y cotidianos, así como el desciframiento de los jeroglíficos.

Ancient Greece.

Grecia y las islas dispersas por los mares Egeo y Adriático crearon una espléndida civilización, cuya poderosa influencia en el mundo occidental llega a través de los siglos hasta la actualidad. La literatura, las artes, la filosofía, la política, el deporte y otras facetas de la vida humana alcanzaron su cima en la Atenas del siglo V antes de Cristo.
