A lack of women at decision-making tables around the
world is hindering progress when it comes to tackling conflicts or
improving health and standard of living, the highest-ranking
woman in the UN (United Nations) has said.
“We’re half the population. And what we bring to the
table is incredibly important and it’s missing”, said Amina
Mohammed, the UN deputy secretary general. “I think it’s why
mostly our human development indices are so bad, why we have
so many conflicts and we’re unable to come out of the conflicts.”
Since her appointment in 2017, Mohammed has been a
constant voice in pushing back against the under-representation
of women in politics, diplomacy and even the UN general
assembly. Her efforts have helped cast a spotlight on the fact that
women remain relegated to the margins of power around the
world; last year the global proportion of female lawmakers stood
at 26.9%, according to Switzerland’s Inter-Parliamentary Union.
Speaking to The Guardian, Mohammed said “flexing
muscle and testosterone” often dominated at tables of power
around the world. “This win, win, win at all costs — I think that
would change if women were at the table”, she said.
She acknowledged that the world had seen a handful of
female leaders who had not used their position to advocate for
greater peace or conflict resolution. “Fair point, we see women in
power and they’re sometimes the image of men”, she said. But
she described it as unfair to judge women on an individual basis
while they were still within the confines of a system dominated
by men. “We don’t judge men that way.”
Mohammed highlighted how many parts of society still
view women in power as “about taking away, rather than adding”
value. “And we have to change that mentality”, she said.
“We kept looking at the Band-aid: put the women in
office, let’s have affirmative action. And we never connected the
dots for women themselves to build the constituencies and to go
out and vote”, she said. “So we have to have a conversation with
women first. Because if we’re doing this for women, should it not
be by women?”
Ashifa Kassam. Lack of women at global tables of power hinders progress, says top UN official.

Q3510809
Inglês
Synesthesia is when you hear music, but you see shapes. Or
you hear a word or a name and instantly see a color. Synesthesia
is a name for when you experience one of your senses through
another. For example, you might hear the name "Alex" and see
green. Or you might read the word "street" and taste citrus fruit.
The word "synesthesia" has Greek roots. It translates to “perceive together.” Synesthesia isn’t a disease or disorder. It won’t harm your health, and it doesn’t mean you’re mentally ill. Some studies suggest people who have it may do better on memory and intelligence tests than those who don’t.
One of the most common responses is to see letters, numbers, or sounds as colors. You might also see or hear a word and taste food; hear sounds and see shapes or patterns; feel a touch when seeing someone else being touched. (This is called mirror touch.)
It can be an annoyance. But most synesthetes see their condition as a sixth sense, not a drawback.
You can’t control it. The response happens right away. For example, if you hear a new piece of music, you may see a color or taste a flavor without any effort. It just happens.
It’s internal, mostly. The colors are just in your mind.
It stays the same over time. If you see the letter "A" in green today, you’ll see it in green 10 years from now.
It often starts in childhood. Studies of kids with synesthesia found that it develops over time.

Scientists have found that generally the world feels brighter when you wake up.
People start the day in the best frame of mind in the morning, but end in the worst, at about midnight, the findings suggest, with the day of the week and the season also playing a part.
Mental health also tends to be more varied at weekends but steadier during the week, according to the study led by University College London.
“Generally, things do seem better in the morning,” the researchers concluded.
Mental health and wellbeing are dynamic in nature, and subject to change over short and long periods. However, few studies have looked at how they might change over the course of the day.
Scientists wanted to explore whether time of day was associated with variations in mental health, happiness, life satisfaction, sense of life being worthwhile and loneliness.
People in the study answered questionnaires, with questions such as: “In the past week, how happy did you feel?”, “How satisfied have you been with your life?”, and “To what extent have you felt the things you are doing in your life are worthwhile?”
Factors such as age, health conditions and whether people worked were taken into account.
The results showed that happiness, life satisfaction, and worthwhile ratings were all higher on Mondays and Fridays than on Sundays, while happiness was also higher on Tuesdays. There was no evidence that loneliness differed across days of the week.
There was clear evidence of a seasonal influence on mood. Compared with winter, people tended to have lower levels of depressive and anxiety symptoms and loneliness, and higher levels of happiness, and feeling that life was worthwhile in the three other seasons.
Mental health was best in the summer across all outcomes. But the season didn’t affect the associations observed across the day, however.
This was an observational study, so it cannot establish cause.

The idea of time blindness, or difficulty perceiving and
managing time, has spread across social media. While there is
no diagnosis for it, some people explain that, despite their best
efforts, they frequently lose track of time, underestimate or
overestimate how long tasks will take, show up late, and miss
deadlines.
Time blindness is a psychological phenomenon that nearly
everyone experiences from time to time, said Michael Manos,
at the Cleveland Clinic.
“Who doesn’t get completely occupied with a hobby or a
conversation they’re having with somebody, or some kind of
activity that is so interesting that it occupies attention, and it
takes attention away from other things that might be pressing?”
he said.
Not all experts agree, but some suggest that it could be a
limitation for some people.
Renae Beaumont, an associate professor of psychology in
clinical psychiatry, said time blindness and flow, a state of
intense focus in an activity that is engaging, enjoyable and
temporarily distracts from the passage of time, are different
phenomena.
“Flow is typically associated with positive emotions when
you’re doing something you enjoy, and you are able to shift to
a different task when you need to. Time blindness involves
getting stuck, losing track of time and typically having trouble
transitioning to a different task,” she said.
There is no clear consensus, but some researchers
consider time blindness to be an impairment in temporal
perception, or the way the brain experiences time.
Certain strategies may help people who struggle with time
perception and management, experts said.
Use digital reminders including alarms, timers and
calendars to keep track of appointments, dates and deadlines.

Fear of the unknown: AI anxiety in academia
Mickey Mann January 7, 2025
While experts recognize the possible misuses of AI in
classrooms — including plagiarism — they agree that educating
teachers and students on what the black box of AI is will be
essential to its potential use for good.
When cavemen first saw the spark of a flame, they likely felt a
mixture of awe, wonder and fear at the powerful new tool. When the printing press was invented it promised widespread
access to writing, but it also threatened the jobs of scribes.
Writing itself was once feared as a disruptive technology. The
philosopher Socrates famously opposed the written word,
concerned it would replace meaningful conversation and
intellectual engagement.
Today, artificial intelligence once again stirs fear of the
unknown, particularly in the case of education. Skeptical
universities across the country have banned AI software and
Large Language Models (LLMs) like Chat GPT from their
classrooms.
However, some educators in Bellingham are cautiously
optimistic about AI’s potential to benefit students, especially
English language learners (ESLs) and students with disabilities,
by providing much-needed support. But is fear of the unknown
holding back this technology from reaching its full potential?
