SD-WISE, a scale to measure an individual's level of wisdom

By Olawale Daniel

Specialists from the College of California San Diego Institute of Medicine have built up an instrument to measure an element's level of wisdom,called the San Diego Wisdom Scale (SD-WISE), the scale depends on a conceptualisation of insight as a characteristic with a neurobiological and additionally psychosocial premise. "There is confirmation to recommend that the level of shrewdness is managed to an expansive degree by neurobiology, and that particular locales and frameworks in the mind administer the distinguished segments of astuteness," said Dilip Jeste, Chief of UC San Diego Center for Health Aging

"There are strategies which evaluate a man's level of intelligence, yet they don't have the developing neurobiological models of the attribute. "SD-WISE mirrors the most recent considering. We trust it might be a helpful device in clinical practice, notwithstanding its incentive in bio psycho social research, particularly looks into the neurobiology of intelligence and conceivable approaches to enhance it," Jeste included. 

The study shown in the Journal of Psychiatric Research , the analysts haphazardly enrolled 524 occupants of San Diego region, ages 25 to 104, from an on-going longitudinal examination called the Successful Aging Evaluation  (SAGE) think about, concentrating on physical, intellectual, and psychosocial parts of fruitful maturing over the grown-up life expectancy. Participants were administered the SD-WISE alongside two existing strategy:  12-item Three-Dimensional Wisdom Scale and the 40-item Self-Assessed Wisdom Scale.

"The two scales are set up and regarded," said Michael Thomas, associate educator of psychiatry at UC San Diego Institute of Pharmaceutical. "They have exhibited dependability and legitimacy as logical apparatuses and were great measures against which to look at SD-WISE." Studies propose that astuteness might be characterized by 6 spaces and the areas are connected to particular locales of the cerebrum, in view of neuroimaging and other logical proof. 

Illustration, the area of prosocial states of mind and practices, for example, charitableness, is incited by the prefrontal cortex (PFC), situated in the cerebrum and in charge of complex official activities.some of alternate spaces are social basic leadership/information of life, resilience of various esteems, and capacity to manage vulnerability in life. 

The spaces are related with particular cerebrum districts. The analysts found that SD-WISE catches five of the six focused on spaces, and made refinements between people's contrasting degrees of insight. The 6th space social basic leadership was halfway secured as "social prompting". 

Results demonstrates SD-WISE is solid and substantial, said Jeste. Insight, measured with SD-WISE, related with measures of mental prosperity. Imperatively, the outcomes underpins that astuteness is a particular element with various segments.

Several adults are in pain. A 2015 study from the National Institutes of Health showed that 25 million U.S. adults cope with chronic pain every day. While everyone’s suffering is different—there are as many sources of pain as people—for many, how you sleep plays a crucial role. You might have being wondering  why you sleep, wake up and start feeling  pains. This is due to your sleeping  position.You might have tried purchasing a supportive mattress and pliable pillow, and eat healthy and exercise regularly, but yet still feel sore and stiff in the morning. According to the experts, it might be time to change my sleeping position. Advice for side-sleepers Most People sleep on their sides, according to the National Sleep Foundation. While many of them presumably do it without pain, this is not the best way to sleep. It can cause shoulder and hip pain, for one. On top of that, several studies have shown that sleeping on your right side can aggravate heartburn. Scientists think that’s

Your  Excellency Muhamadu Buhari, President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria; Professor Yemi Osinbajo, Vice President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria; Senator Bukola Saraki, Senate President; Honorable Yakubu Dogara, Speaker of the House; Your Excellencies, executive governors of the Federal Republic of Nigeria; Royal fathers; Distinguished ladies and gentlemen. And as you say in Nigeria, all other protocols observed. Thank you for welcoming me to Nigeria. I've been coming here regularly since 2006, and I've always felt welcome. Nigerians usually greet me warmly. The first time I met the Sultan of Sokoto, I was honored that he greeted me with the gift of a white horse. At some point during every visit, though, some brave person eventually asks me—very politely—"Why are you actually here?" It's an understandable question. Most American technology guys don't wander around Nigeria learning about its health system. But I think I have a good answer. Whe

Human beings on brink of achieving IMMORTALITY by year 2050, expert reveals

By Olawale Daniel

Dr Ian Pearson said human beings are very close to achieving immortality in a number of different ways, but only if you can make it to the year 2050. Anyone who dies before then could be part of the last generation of humans to die of old age. Dr Pearson said: "By 2050, it will only really be for the rich and famous. Most people on middle-class incomes and reasonable working-class incomes can probably afford this in the 2060s. So anyone 90 or under by 2060. If you were born sometime in 1970 onwards, that would make you 48 this year. So anybody under 50 has got a good chance of it, and anyone under 40 almost definitely will have access to this." There are several ways in which people can live forever, such as renewing body parts. This could be done in several ways, including genetic engineering that prevents or reverses the ageing of cells. People may be able to replace vital body organs with new parts. Scientists around the world are currently working on creating human orga

Entrepreneurial Lessons from Billy Graham

By Olawale Daniel
Image
The recent passing of Billy Graham has prompted countless tributes from religious and political leaders around the world. He was truly one of a kind, and I doubt we will see another religious figure like him. But now that I am in another life, building a business and figuring out the path of an entrepreneur, I’m experiencing his influence again. Dr. Graham wasn’t just a preacher or an evangelist. He was a brilliant entrepreneur. He founded the most successful crusade ministry in history, but he also started schools, magazines, retreat centers, and media companies. When someone says the name “Billy Graham,” a picture of the ultimate preacher and evangelist is usually what comes to mind. While that is obviously what his main claim to fame was, I believe it sells Billy Graham short. He was a preacher first and foremost, but it was his incredible entrepreneurial spirit that allowed him to operate in the size, scope, and longevity that he did. I’ve been reflecting on the lessons he has t

Facts:Oldest recorded solar eclipse helps date the Egyptian pharaohs

By Olawale Daniel

Using a combination of the biblical text and an ancient Egyptian text, the researchers were then able to refine the dates of the Egyptian pharaohs, in particular the dates of the reign of Ramesses the Great. The results are published in the Royal Astronomical Society journal Astronomy & Geophysics. The biblical text in question comes from the Old Testament book of Joshua and has puzzled biblical scholars for centuries. It records that after Joshua led the people of Israel into Canaan -- a region of the ancient Near East that covered modern-day Israel and Palestine -- he prayed: "Sun, stand still at Gibeon, and Moon, in the Valley of Aijalon. And the Sun stood still, and the Moon stopped, until the nation took vengeance on their enemies." "Modern English translations, which follow the King James translation of 1611, usually interpret this text to mean that the sun and moon stopped moving," said Humphreys, who is also a Fellow of Selwyn College.

New Organ Found in Human Body and probably the largest organ

By Olawale Daniel

A team of researchers from New York University School of Medicine, Mount Sinai Beth Israel Medical Center, the Feinstein Institute for Medical Research and the University of Pennsylvania has identified that layers of the human body long thought to be connective tissues — below the skin’s surface, lining the digestive tract, lungs, and urinary systems, and surrounding arteries, veins, and the fascia between muscles — are actually interconnected, fluid-filled compartments, categorizing them as an organ. The newfound organ — the interstitium (connective tissue) — is a series of spaces, supported by a meshwork of strong (collagen) and flexible (elastin) connective tissue proteins found below the skin’s surface, lining the digestive tract, lungs and urinary systems, and surrounding arteries, veins, and the fascia between muscles. Importantly, the finding that this layer is a highway of moving fluid may explain why cancer that invades it becomes much more likely to spread. Draining into t
