Innovations in hypoxic training by Raphael Faiss, Martin Faulhaber

“…Kaspar Wolf sojourned in Mexico in November 1966 to explore the strong discrepancies in the athletes’ individual responses to altitude during their prolonged stay at 2300 m. 60 years later in Magglingen, the knowledge around physiological mechanisms underpinning responses to exercise and training in various low (or high) oxygen environments has increased tremendously with a wide range of recommendations available for altitude training camps or the use of hyperoxia to stimulate specific adaptations. …”

Pedofilia w Holandii: przyczyny, konsekwencje, ocena moralna by Andrzej Kobyliński

“…Wydaje się, że w kraju tulipanów pojawiło się swego rodzaju sprzężenie zwrotne: z jednej strony rewolucja seksualna lat sześćdziesiątych XX wieku, proces głębokiej sekularyzacji społeczeństwa holenderskiego i narodziny nowej moralności stworzyły podatny grunt dla rozwoju zjawiska pedofilii, z drugiej – dramat seksualnego wykorzystywania nieletnich przyczynił się do jeszcze głębszego kryzysu tradycyjnego rozumienia moralności i religii, powodując stopniowy rozpad Kościoła katolickiego i innych wyznań chrześcijańskich. …”

Geometry-symmetry-free and material-symmetry-guaranteed polariton-induced transparency by Xingyu Tang, Huaping Wang, Zhenyang Cui, Sihao Xia, Zhiwei He, Song Han, Hongsheng Chen, Yingjie Wu

“…In this study, we theoretically achieve geometry-symmetry-free and material-symmetry-guaranteed PIT based on volume-confined phonon polaritons (vPhPs) in stacked bilayer α-MoO3 structures. PIT arises from the strong resonance of vPhPs and the subsequent robust near-field coupling at large thicknesses, where the in-plane anisotropy of vPhPs results in multi-spectral PIT across different polariton bands, enabling the tuning of PIT by adjusting the lattice orientation of α-MoO3 without altering geometry. …”
