Humankind faces many problems such as like terrorism, crime, the collapse of the family unit, drug abuse, war, theft, etc., the multidisciplinary research was done to find whether that there are basic and common psychological reasons are or not. So, I have found some fundamental factors that are significantly limited or revers of the human intelligence by some decisions making and those limitations might be due to activating of delusional thoughts and decisions which are declined of intelligence, mainly cause by psychological mind viruses[ MV] in them, as I hypothesis, here. Those issues are been impact on optimal living, psychological, physical and social well-being. So, better practical solutions and preventive methods are needed. The leading psychological limiting factors for intelligence development are known as MV and its’ remedies are healthy mind viruses [HMV]. The intelligent learning, training (meditation) and intelligent decisions might evolve the nature of the brain, nurture and x-micro particle genome [X-MPG], all these six factors seem to be interdepended. The X-MPG might bond with the x-unique micro-particle [X-UMP]. However, the X- UMP might never evolve or change and it might maintain the uniqueness of the conscious state of a person. But, the X-MPG helps to evolve the latent potential level of well-being and optimal living gradually, of the related person. Here, I show the unearthed-core of early Buddhist teachings, training (meditation) and decisions inclusive of the 8-fold path may be an efficient methodology for Intelligence evolution. The evolution of nature, nurture, X-MPG, psychological well-being, and intelligence might be represented in a theoretical 3D graph. If life after death occurs, when clinical death of a person’s finally evolved level and micro quantum key of the X- MPG[ +X- UMP] might be crucial to natural transmission to bond with a matching and vacant zygote/early embryo of its micro quantum particles and its new conscious state, might depend on the lastly evolved genome of the X-MPG. However there are many more mysterious issues to be solved in future researches, so this might not a theory of everything on the main theme.

Humankind faces many problems like terrorism, crime, the collapse of the family unit, drug abuse, war, theft, etc. I did this multidisciplinary research to find whether there are primary and common psychological reasons or not. So, I have discovered some fundamental factors that are significantly limited or revers of the human intelligence by some decisions making and those limitations might be due to activating of delusional thoughts and decisions which are declined of intelligence, mainly cause by psychological mind viruses (MV) in them, as I hypothesis, here. Those issues are impacting optimal living, psychological, physical, and social well-being. So, better practical solutions and preventive methods are needed. The leading psychological limiting factors for intelligence development are known as MV and its' remedies are healthy mind viruses (HMV). Intelligent learning, training (meditation), and Intelligent decisions might evolve the nature of the brain, nurture, and X-ultra quantum conscious particle genome (X-UQCPG), all these six factors seem to be interdepended. The X-UQCPG might bond with the X-ultra quantum unique conscious particle (X-UQUCP). However, the X- UQUCP might never evolve or change and it might maintain the uniqueness of the conscious state of a person. The X-UQCPG helps to evolve the latent potential level of well-being and optimal living gradually of the related person. Here, I show the unearthed core of early Buddhist teachings, training (meditation), and decisions inclusive of the 8-fold path may be an efficient methodology for Intelligence evolution. The evolution of nature, nurture, X-UQCPG, psychological well-being, and intelligence might be represented in a theoretical 3D graph. If life after death occurs, when clinical death of a person's finally evolved level, and micro quantum key of the X- UQCPG (+X- UQCUP) might be crucial to natural transmission to bond with a matching and vacant zygote/early embryo of its X-ultra quantum particles and its new conscious state, might depend on the lastly evolve genome of the X- UQCPG. However, there are many more mysterious issues to be solved in future researches, so this might not be a theory of everything on the central theme.

A systematic reviewed some fundamental factors of human intelligence, significant psychological limitations, and remedies for those limitations. Humanity faces many problems such as like terrorism, crime, the collapse the family unit, drug abuse, war, theft, etc. impact on optimal living and well-being, might be due to unintelligible decisions as I hypothesis here. So, better practical solutions and preventive methods are needed. Leading psychological limiting factors for intelligence development are known as mind virus, and its’ remedies are healthy mind viruses. The intelligent learning, training (meditation) and decisions may evolve the nature of the brain, nurture and genomic x-particle for the hidden potential level of well-being and optimal living gradually, of the related person. Here I show the unearthed-core of early Buddhist teachings, training (meditation) and decisions inclusive of the 8-fold path may be an efficient methodology for Intelligence evolution; the evolution of nature, nurture, x- quantum gene and intelligence might be represented graphically. If reincarnation occurs, evolved the level of quality of genomic x-particle at the clinical death might be crucial to naturally transmission, and select the next zygote/early embryo ‘brain,’ and its state.

It seems no scientific study has been able to find evidence of the afterlife, and empirical studies along with materialism reject such ideas on the continuum of consciousness after death. Present knowledge of physics seems not fit enough to describe why and how the life of the brain functions and is different from the zombie computer. Here, I show the probability of an afterlife by three simple thought experiments and theoretical evidence. I suppose consciousness is an effect of a few facts, including unidentified two microparticles, nature and nurture, which may be crucial to making life in the brain. One micro particle might carry its evolving genome, and the other is made the uniqueness of consciousness of any given brain. Such two particles' behaviors may go beyond general relativity and quantum mechanics theories. According to the thought experiments, there is no option other than the probability of an afterlife, though we could not find the mechanism precisely. If this hypothesis is valid when a brain death, the specific particles couple might emit and bond simultaneously with a zygote or early embryo by traveling in infinite velocity. However, this theory might be a proverbial hypothesis, yet not a theory of everything the mysterious consciousness and life of the brain.

This chapter argues for a normative distinction between disabilities that are inherently negative with respect to well-being and disabilities that are inherently neutral. After clarifying terms, the author discusses recent arguments according to which possession of a disability is inherently neutral with respect to well-being. He notes that although these arguments are compelling, they are only intended to cover certain disabilities and, in fact, that there exists a broad class regarding which they do not apply. He then discusses two problem cases: locked-in syndrome and the minimally conscious state, and explains why these are cases in which possession of these disabilities makes one worse off overall. He argues that disabilities that significantly impair control over one’s situation tend to be inherently negative with respect to well-being; other disabilities do not. The upshot is that we must draw an important normative distinction between disabilities that undermine this kind of control and disabilities that do not.

ABSTRACTBackground:The ultimate goal of artificial intelligence (AI) is to develop technologies that are best able to serve humanity. This will require advancements that go beyond the basic components of general intelligence. The term “intelligence” does not best represent the technological needs of advancing society, because it is “wisdom”, rather than intelligence, that is associated with greater well-being, happiness, health, and perhaps even longevity of the individual and the society. Thus, the future need in technology is for artificial wisdom (AW).Methods:We examine the constructs of human intelligence and human wisdom in terms of their basic components, neurobiology, and relationship to aging, based on published empirical literature. We review the development of AI as inspired and driven by the model of human intelligence, and consider possible governing principles for AW that would enable humans to develop computers which can operationally utilize wise principles and result in wise acts. We review relevant examples of current efforts to develop such wise technologies.Results:AW systems will be based on developmental models of the neurobiology of human wisdom. These AW systems need to be able to a) learn from experience and self-correct; b) exhibit compassionate, unbiased, and ethical behaviors; and c) discern human emotions and help the human users to regulate their emotions and make wise decisions.Conclusions:A close collaboration among computer scientists, neuroscientists, mental health experts, and ethicists is necessary for developing AW technologies, which will emulate the qualities of wise humans and thus serve the greatest benefit to humanity. Just as human intelligence and AI have helped further the understanding and usefulness of each other, human wisdom and AW can aid in promoting each other’s growth

Substantial research documents a positive association between religious practice and improved health and well-being. Research on the relationship between spirituality and health is less developed but also positive. Generally speaking, Western science and medicine explain these positive associations via psychological and social mechanisms rather than spiritual (or “metaphysical”) ones. However, contemporary theory and research in consciousness science, including research on near-death experiences and life after death, are pointing to a profound paradigm change in science, shifting from conventional materialist models of nature and the cosmos to postmaterialist models. This chapter introduces the reader to the emerging postmaterialist paradigm in science and considers some of its important implications for understanding and applying spirituality in integrative preventive medicine.

The significant impact of cancer on women’s sexual well-being has been acknowledged increasingly within research. However, the role of cultural discourse in shaping women’s construction and embodied experience of sexuality has received less attention. In this study, we examined heterosexual women’s constructions of sexual embodiment in the context of cancer. Sixteen women across a range of ages (20–71 years), cancer types and stages took part in in-depth semi-structured interviews. A thematic decomposition analysis was conducted on the interview transcripts, drawing on feminist poststructuralist theory. A main theme was identified in which the women took up subject positions of “Embodying sexuality” and “Embodying the absence of sexuality”. Accounts of “Embodying sexuality” included “Experiencing bodily ease during sex” and “Managing a dysfunctional body during sex”. The women’s positioning of “Embodying the absence of sexuality” included “Asexuality and the absence of desire” and “Unsuccessful attempts to renegotiate sex”. Women’s intrapsychic negotiation of sexual and gendered discourse, the materiality of embodied change and relationship context influenced their constructions of sexual subjectivity. These findings indicate a need for researchers and clinicians to acknowledge cultural discourses of sex and gender that shape the possibilities and constraints for women’s sexual well-being after cancer.

The research study carried out was literature where the results of the research carried out contained several findings in the study, including; First, Humans were created by Allah SWT in a perfect form which makes it different from other creatures. Second, the human mind is a gift from Allah SWT, which is used to think, understand, be able to understand something, from within the human being himself, so that humans have the readiness to absorb everything. Third, religion is a matter of reason and its use must be in accordance with the provisions and limits that have been set and not result in absolute and absolute thinking that can harm humans themselves. Fourth, human intelligence is described through the ability of humans themselves to be able to restrain their lusts, those who do the most charity to remember death and the best in preparing provisions to face life after death. Fifth, in the context of human life today, the intelligence referred to includes intelligence IQ (Intellegence Quotient), EQ (Emotional Quotient), and SQ (Spiritual Quotient) and there are even other intelligences as part of one's potential that must always be honed and developed. Sixth, the function of reason which is accompanied by good intelligence in Islamic education, with the concepts of tadhakkur, tadabbur, tafakkur and has knowledge and faith, has a very important role in realizing quality Islamic education.

The main objective of this article is to explore the Ameru indigenous ways of overcoming death and grief. Death and grief have always been the most challenging thing throughout the history of human beings, and even within contemporary society. The Ameru culture provided room, space and meaning of death and life after death to both the dead and to the living. The culture was an integral part of Ameru, especially on matters of death and grief. The culture provided values found to be helpful to the well-being of the Ameru people, in a holistic way especially in the period of grief and bereavement. The article explores these meaning and how they can be relevant to the contemporary society, which ethos are guided by the Church. Today, the church plays the central role in overcoming grief and bereavement. In meaning making, there is a need for contextualization. Contextualization is an attempt to present the gospel in culturally relevant ways. For this reason, this article tries to explore some of the Ameru ways of overcoming grief and how this can be relevant to the contemporary Church diakonia work and counseling of grief.


Social support is an important resource which facilitates coping and raises the quality of life. This study examines how different forms of social support are perceived by the visually impaired individuals living in Turkey (positive or negative), and the impact on these individuals’ psychological well-being. This qualitative phenomenological study is conducted by semi-structured interview techniques and 21 visually impaired and volunteer (11 female, 10 male) adults over 18 years (M = 28, SD = 6,34) who live in Ankara participated in the study. Data were analysed using thematic content analysis. There were 4 main themes: Centrality of the sighted world, negative social support, positive social support, and accessibility. The most frequently repeated sub themes were gathered under the main themes of negative social support and centrality of the sighted world; the majority of the participants mentioned the effect of living independently. Moreover, the lack of information in society and the negative effects of interference under the will to help are frequently mentioned. On the other hand, the sub themes of mutual support, perceiving blindness as a difference, not a deficiency were presented under the main theme of positive social support. Keywords: Visually impaired, perceived social support, psychological well-being
