"Liberalism," divorced from its particular connotations in this or that modern political context, refers broadly to a philosophy of individual rights, liberties, and responsibilities, coupled with respect for institutions and rule of law over personalized power. As Cass Sunstein construes the term, liberalism encompasses a broad tent, from Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher to Martin Luther King and Franklin Roosevelt. But liberalism is being challenged both from the right and from the left, by those who think that individual liberties can go too far. We talk about the philosophical case for liberalism as well as the challenges to it in modern politics, as discussed in his new book On Liberalism: In Defense of Freedom.Blog post with transcript: https://www.preposterousuniverse.com/podcast/2025/09/01/327-cass-sunstein-on-liberalism/Support Mindscape on Patreon.Cass Sunstein received a J.D. from Harvard Law School, and worked as a clerk for Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall. He is currently Robert Walmsley University Professor at Harvard. He served in several government roles during the Obama administration. He is recognized as "by far the most cited legal scholar in the United States and probably the world."Harvard web pageGoogle Scholar publicationsSubstackAmazon author pageWikipediaSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Со 2 по 7 сентября в Риге и нескольких городах Латвии пройдет очередной Форум документального кино Baltic Sea Docs. Культурный обмен ознакомился с его программой и выбрал несколько наиболее ярких фильмов. Темы у них самые разные - от суррогатного материнства до стендап-комедии про конфликт на Ближнем Востоке, от жизни афганских женщин под властью талибов до влияния войны на экологию. Также мы поговорили с украинским режиссером фильма Divia, которым откроется Форум, - Дмитро Грешко.

Недавно Кабинет министров одобрил план демографической политики. В нем, в частности, предусмотрено повышение пособий по рождению и по уходу за ребенком. Однако, этого явно недостаточно для того, чтобы мотивировать молодые семьи на рождение детей, особенно если речь идет о втором и третьем ребенке. У Общества многодетных семей Латвии есть три конкретных предложения, как улучшить демографическую ситуацию в стране при помощи вполне простых и экономически целесообразных мер. Об этом в передаче “Домская площадь” рассказал юрист, представитель Ассоциации многодетных семей Дмитрий Трофимов.

Vous venez d’ouvrir la porte de votre chambre d’hôtel ; avant de jeter votre sac sur le lit, faites un détour par la salle de bain : placez vos bagages dans la baignoire. Ce geste, recommandé par de nombreux entomologistes, vise à déjouer Cimex lectularius, la punaise de lit, championne du voyage clandestin.Les punaises se déplacent mal sur surfaces lissesLes punaises de lit ne sautent ni ne volent ; elles progressent en rampant grâce à de minuscules griffes adaptées aux textiles rugueux ou au bois. Des études d’observation montrent qu’elles peinent à conserver leur adhérence dès que la rugosité du support tombe sous deux micromètres : le verre poli, le métal chromé ou la céramique vitrifiée agissent comme des patinoires. Une paroi de baignoire, lisse et bombée, constitue donc une barrière mécanique efficace : même si un insecte s’y aventure, il aura du mal à franchir le rebord pour atteindre votre valise.La salle de bain : zone « à faible densité » de punaisesLes punaises sont thigmotactiques : elles recherchent des crevasses proches de leur source de nourriture (le dormeur). Dans une chambre, elles se concentrent à moins de deux mètres du matelas : coutures de sommier, tête de lit, plinthes, moquette. Les salles de bain offrent peu de cachettes (carrelage, joints silicones lisses) et sont nettoyées plus vigoureusement par le personnel ; l’incidence d’infestation y est donc minimale.Le bagage, principal vecteur d’exportLes données de traçabilité d’infestations montrent que 70 % des introductions domestiques commencent par une valise posée sur un lit ou un porte-bagage textile dans un hôtel infesté. Les punaises profitent d’une sieste diurne dans la doublure ou glissent entre les vêtements, puis rentrent chez vous. En isolant immédiatement la valise dans la baignoire – ou dans un sac plastique clair – on réduit drastiquement cette « porte d’embarquement ».Un protocole simple en trois étapesÀ l’arrivée, valise dans la baignoire fermée et inspection rapide : coutures, poches, poignées.Inspection du lit : soulevez les draps, examinez les coutures du matelas et l’arrière de la tête de lit. Signe d’alarme : points noirs (déjections) ou exuvies brunâtres.En partant, aspirez ou brossez la valise, puis placez les vêtements à 60 °C (lessive) ou 30 minutes au sèche-linge chaleur élevée.Limites et complémentsLe porcelaine n’est pas une muraille absolue ; une punaise affamée peut parfois franchir une surface lisse après plusieurs heures. Mais la baignoire vous laisse le temps de détecter un intrus : une silhouette brun rouge contre un fond blanc. Pour plus de sécurité, certains voyageurs combinent baignoire et housse anti-punaises pour bagage, ou utilisent des pièges collants sous les pieds du lit.ConclusionDéplacer votre valise de deux mètres vers la salle de bain peut vous épargner des semaines de lutte chimique et des centaines d’euros de traitement. L’astuce n’est pas folklorique : elle s’appuie sur la biologie locomotrice de l’insecte, son écologie d’abri et l’analyse statistique des voies d’infestation. La prochaine fois que vous arriverez à l’hôtel, laissez la baignoire devenir… votre première ligne de défense Hébergé par Acast. Visitez acast.com/privacy pour plus d'informations.

Summer may be winding down, but we’re not quite ready to let go of beach days, backyard cookouts, or ice cream cones. We love ice cream here at SciFri, so we’re pulling a few of our favorite ice cream science stories out of the freezer this week.Back in 2015, ice cream expert Maya Warren sat down with Host Ira Flatow to help us understand a science mystery of “unmeltable” ice cream that made the evening news in Cincinnati.That same summer, Ira spoke to Jeff Potter, author of Cooking for Geeks, and Brian Smith, founder of Ample Hills Creamery, who give us science-backed tips for making smooth, velvety ice cream at home.Transcripts for each episode are available within 1-3 days at sciencefriday.com.

2024. gadā Rīgas Stradiņa universitātes pētnieki aizsāka ekspedīcijas, kuru pirmsākumi meklējami mērnieku laikos - iedzīvotāju antropoloģisko mērīšanu. Pagājušajā vasarā tā bija Piebalga, šogad lauka pētījumi turpinās Kurzemē. Kādus mūsdienu iedzīvotāju veselības, ķermeņa uzbūves un demogrāfiskos rādītājus pētnieki ieguvuši? Kā esam mainījušies vēstures gaitā? Raidījumā Zināmais nezināmajā skaidro Arta Grabčika, Rīgas Stradiņa universitātes Anatomijas un antropoloģijas institūta asistente, projekta administratore, un Jānis Vētra, Rīgas Stradiņa Universitātes profesors, Anatomijas laboratorijas vadošais pētnieks.

Латвийские вузы к началу нового учебного года готовы, и ситуацию с бюджетом в этом году можно считать более-менее нормальной. Главная проблема - отсеивание первокурссников уже после первого семестра. Так считает глава советов ректоров, ректор Даугавпилсского университета Арвидс Баршевскис. Его мнение прозвучало в передаче “Домская площадь” на Латвийском радио 4.

In this episode of Talk Nerdy, Cara is joined by Primatologist and Assistant Professor at NYU Dept of Environmental Studies, Dr. Christine E. Webb. They discuss her new book, The Arrogant Ape: The Myth of Human Exceptionalism and Why It Matters.
