Immune cognition, social justice and asthma: structured stress and the developing immune system

We explore the implications of IR Cohen's work on immune cognition for understanding rising rates of asthma morbidity and mortality in the US. Immune cognition is conjoined with central nervous system cognition, and with the cognitive function of the embedding sociocultural networks by which individuals are acculturated and through which they work with others to meet challenges of threat and opportunity. Using a mathematical model, we find that externally- imposed patterns of 'structured stress' can, through their effect on a child's socioculture, become synergistic with the development of immune cognition, triggering the persistence of an atopic Th2 phenotype, a necessary precursor to asthma and other immune disease. Reversal of the rising tide of asthma and related chronic diseases in the US thus seems unlikely without a 21st Century version of the earlier Great Urban Reforms which ended the scourge of infectious diseases

Technology transfer: an efficient means of knowledge flow

After the change in the political system, any necessary changes did not occur regarding many fields of the Hungarian economic and social life: after the millennium it started to lag behind the countries in East Central Europe, and in the increasingly growing competition it is forced to loose significant position. Defective decisions in field of economic policy resulted that the country became file-closer among altering economies. With the most significant macroeconomical indicators that are signed in the study, the loser Hungarian position is traceable.Предприятия сегодня более отзывчивы к техническому и технологическому прогрессу,управляют своими активами технологий более стратегически. Тем временем, решении технологий перешли к людям незнакомым с динамикой технологий в лаборатории или на рынке. Интеграция технологий и повторное их использование страдают, не координируя структуру или форумы планирования бизнеса. Решение, согласно некоторым, является методическим подходом к интегрированной технологии, планируя названный «Технологией Roadmapping», который получил более широкое развитие в прошлом десятилетии

Community Lynching and the US Asthma Epidemic

We explore the implications of IR Cohen's work on immune cognition for understanding rising rates of asthma morbidity and mortality in the US. Immune cognition is inherently linked with central nervous system cognition, and with the cognitive function of the embedding sociocultural networks by which individuals are acculturated and through which they work with others to meet challenges of threat and opportunity. Externally-imposed patterns of 'structured stress' can, through their effect on a child's socioculture, become synergistic with the development of immune cognition, triggering the persistence of an atopic Th2 phenotype, a necessary precursor to asthma and other immune diseases. Structured stress in the US particularly includes the cross sectional and longitudinal effects of a systematic destruction of minority urban communities occurring since the end of World War II which we characterize as community lynching. Reversal of the rising tide of asthma and related chronic diseases in the US thus seems unlikely without a 21st Century version of the earlier Great Urban Reforms which ended the scourge of infectious diseases, in particular an end to the de-facto ethnic cleansing of minority neighborhoo
