"Naturen är vår källa."


"Om det är förnuftet som formar människan, så är det känslan som leder henne."
"Människan är en fördärvad vilde."
"En konstnär är ett geni som har rätt att skapa fritt."
"Det strider uppenbarligen mot naturens lag att en handfull människor drunknar i sitt överflöd
medan den uthungrade massan saknar det nödvändigaste."

The ecological credit crunch is a global challenge. The Living Planet Report 2008 tells us that more than three quarters of the world’s people live in nations that are ecological debtors – their national consumption has outstripped their country’s biocapacity. Thus, most of us are propping up our current lifestyles, and our economic growth, by drawing (and increasingly overdrawing) upon the ecological capital of other parts of the world.

Facilitation

In a broad sense, biological coevolution is "the change of a biological object triggered by the change of a related object". Coevolution can occur at multiple levels of biology: it can be as microscopic as correlated mutations between amino acids in a protein, or as macroscopic as covarying traits between different species in an environment. Each party in a coevolutionary relationship exerts selective pressures on the other, thereby affecting each others' evolution. Species-level coevolution includes the evolution of a host species and its parasites (host-parasite coevolution), and examples of mutualism evolving through time. Evolution in response to abiotic factors, such as climate change, is not coevolution (since climate is not alive and does not undergo biological evolution). Evolution in a one-on-one interaction, such as that between predator and prey, host-symbiont or host-parasitic pair, is coevolution. But many cases are less clearcut: a species may evolve in response to a number of other species, each of which is also evolving in response to a set of species. This situation has been referred to as "diffuse coevolution".
Mutualism is the way two organisms biologically interact where each individual derives a fitness benefit (i.e. increased survivorship). Similar interactions within a species are known as co-operation. It can be contrasted with interspecific competition, in which each species experiences reduced fitness, and exploitation, or parasitism, in which one species benefits at the expense of the other. Mutualism and symbiosis are sometimes used as if they are synonymous, but this is strictly incorrect: symbiosis is a broad category, defined to include relationships which are mutualistic, parasitic or commensal. Mutualism is only one type.
Facilitation describes species interactions that benefit at least one of the participants and cause harm to neither. Facilitations can be categorized as mutualisms, in which both species benefit, or commensalisms, in which one species benefits and the other is unaffected.
"Species coextinction is a manifestation of the interconnectedness of organisms in complex ecosystems. The loss of species through coextinction represents the loss of irreplaceable evolutionary and coevolutionary history. In view of the global extinction crisis, it is imperative that coextinction be the focus of future research to understand the intricate processes of species extinctions. While coextinction may not be the most important cause of species extinctions, it is certainly an insidious one."
Facilitation is a significant ecological process that produces community-level effects through individual interactions. By improving dispersal, increasing access to resources, and providing protection from stress, predation, and competition, facilitation can impact community structure, diversity, and invasibility. Incorporation of facilitation into such classic theories as natural selection and niche separation should be a goal of current and future ecologists. This will require further research into the mechanisms of facilitation at the level of individuals, and the impacts of facilitation at the level of population, community, and ecosystem. Continued study of positive species interactions will serve to improve our understanding of processes and application of theories.

Lantligt Urbant

Det urgamla sättet att locka till sig något levande är att skylta med mat, då kommer även djuren ut ur skogen till soptippen.
Det nya sättet är att göra jordägarna konkursmässiga och driva in dem till stadsmiljön med kronofogden till kyrkogårdsarbete.
Det något mer djuriska sättet är att skylta med dockor av det motsatta könet för då kommer även de könlösa ut till gatan.
Det något mera raffinerade sättet är att skylta med mat, dryck, dockor och musik för att få herrgårdsfolket att dansa kabaré.
Det strategiska sättet är att skicka hooliganer ut i buskarna för att skrämma de gamla för att få dem att överge ett rikt skogsliv.
Det enklaste sättet är att lägga ned alla storföretagen och regementen och locka de avpolleterade till ett anonymt stadsjobb.
Och så vidare......

The difference between government spending and revenues over a very long term

The picture of a government deficit consists of two elements, a structural and a cyclical. In a state of depression at the lowest point in the business cycle, unemployment is elevated. This leads to reduced tax revenues and increased expenditures (e.g. on social security). On the other hand, at the peak of the cycle, unemployment is reduced; increasing tax revenues and reducing social security spending. Due to the borrowing in a state of depression, at the low point of the cycle, a cyclical deficit occurs. By definition, the cyclical deficit is refunded by a cyclical surplus at the peak of the cycle.
The structural deficit is an imbalance that occurs around the whole business cycle, since the general level of state spending exceed the prevailing tax levels. The structural deficit and the cyclical deficit or surplus sum up to a total budget deficit present.

Ett kretslopp innebär att ämnen, varor, tjänster eller andra saker cirkulerar.

Alla levande varelser är uppbyggda av grundämnena kol, väte, syre, kväve och även fosfor och svavel.
De här grundämnena och föreningarna är gemensamma för alla levande organismer.
Ett av de starkaste argumenten för att alla levande varelser har ett gemensamt ursprung är att alla, från den enklaste bakterie till människan själv, är uppbyggda av samma kemiska grundämnen.
I alla levande varelser sker i grunden detsamma:
Generna i nukleinsyran beordrar produktion av proteiner som är nödvändiga för alla livsformer.
DNA är nukleinsyra som kan kopiera sig själv så att det skapas exakta kopior av kommande generationer.
P g a fel vid kopieringen av DNA-molekyler har de olika livsformerna uppstått gradvis.
Alla levande varelsers DNA-molekyler fungerar på exakt samma sätt.

We share 98% of our DNA with a chimpanzee, 60% with a banana and 50% with a tomato.

Our natural environment is the result of a long term evolutionary process and mankind is a part of it. Nature contributes in every possibe way to the making of life, whether it be of a plant, an animal or a human being. The conditions that sorround each individual, day and night, are the tests and challenges of life. All kinds of life need air, water, minerals, light and warmth but without homeostasis all contributions of nature remain useless to life. Homeostasis is the property of a system, either open or closed, that regulates its internal environment and tends to maintain a stable, constant condition.
However, believers work by using familiar words and images in irrational ways. Myths can be hinted at and utilised, in order to present them in a different way and to lay stress on an implicit conclusion rather than just plainly stating it. Making verse for believers an appropriate medium to emphasize a message.
"The deceived and the deceiver are His" is verse which is also presented in translations. As such the deceiver is Satan, and God sympathizing with the deceived. However, not in reality. Dualistic expectations as such are trumped up, only to be shattered with a strophe, as "both deceived and deceiver is God".
Because there is no dualistic cosmos out there. In other words both the deciever and the deceived are the people because people write verse for a reason and they invent symbols like God and Satan for a purpose to decieve. People deceive the people deceived. The question arises thereof, "What kind of people have a genuine desire to decieve other people?"
Thus, the process of life has brought us to what we are today, to which all forces of nature have contributed to our being. The outcome is not the defeat of one which is evil and the triumph of the other which is good. It is the joint effort of all. Even what seems destructive, has been constructive as much as what to a majority seemed constructive has proved to be destructive.
Ultimately, the living organism is the result of a self-regulating process by which a biological or mechanical system maintains stability while adjusting to changing conditions. Systems in dynamic equilibrium reach a balance in which internal change unceasingly compensates for external change in a feedback control process to keep conditions relatively stable and uniform.
That is natures perfection.

Homo as a genus of the order Primates is first recorded 1797

Humans are noted for their desire to understand and influence their environment, seeking to explain and manipulate natural phenomena through science, philosophy, mythology, fables, tales, and sagas. This natural curiosity has led to the development of advanced tools and skills, which are passed down culturally; humans are the only animal species known to build fires, cook their food, clothe themselves, and use numerous other technologies.
Humans are a eukaryotic species. Each diploid cell has two sets of 23 chromosomes, each set received from one parent. There are 22 pairs of autosomes and one pair of sex chromosomes. By present estimates, humans have approximately 20,000–25,000 genes. Like other mammals, humans have an XY sex-determination system, so that females have the sex chromosomes XX and males have XY.

Naturen

Att naturen lyfts fram är något vi även finner i de övriga nordiska ländernas nationalsånger. De nordiska ländernas nationalsånger inleds med strofer som tydligt anspelar på naturen
Naturen är något att vara stolt över - och denna lockelse till naturen är som tidigare en del i den romantiska kulturyttring som symbolerna skapades i. Symboler som skulle ena landet och få folket att känna en nationell identitet.
"Din sol, Din himmel, Dina ängder" - gul och blå och grön.
Nationalsångens funktion är i ännu större grad än flaggans att vara gemensamhetsskapande. Flaggor som fladdrar och slår i vinden i all ära, men det är sången som man tillsammans sjunger och som då ger uttryck för den kollektiva känslan av gemenskap. Den nationella retoriken räcker aldrig för att hålla samman en nation, samhörighetens starkaste bas ligger i omförvandlingen av rikets territorium till ett gemensamt rum - ett ställe där man känner sig hemma.
