Everyday Genetics

Uriah Stewart

Sinopse

"Everyday Genetics" explores the transformative impact of genetic science on our daily lives, focusing on personalized medicine, consumer genetic testing, and gene editing technologies. The book argues that genetic science has moved beyond the laboratory, influencing our health decisions, family planning, and sense of identity. It provides a comprehensive overview of how genetic advances are reshaping medicine, personal identity, and human potential.

 
Starting with a brief history of genetic science, the book progresses through three main sections, examining personalized medicine, consumer genetic testing, and gene editing. It highlights intriguing developments such as how genetic information is revolutionizing disease diagnosis and treatment, and the potential of CRISPR technology to eliminate genetic diseases.

 
The author presents cutting-edge research and real-world cases, making complex genetic concepts accessible to a general audience through analogies and case studies. What sets this book apart is its focus on practical, everyday implications of genetic science, consistently relating advances to readers' lives. It provides guidance on interpreting genetic test results and addresses ongoing controversies like genetic privacy concerns.

 
By the end, readers are equipped to engage with genetic information in their own lives and participate in broader societal discussions about the future of genetic technologies.

First Order Logic - Fundamentals...

Fouad Sabry

What Is First Order Logic
 
First-order logic is a collection of formal systems that are utilized in the fields of mathematics, philosophy, linguistics, and computer science. Other names for first-order logic include predicate logic, quantificational logic, and first-order predicate calculus. In first-order logic, quantified variables take precedence over non-logical objects, and the use of sentences that contain variables is permitted. As a result, rather than making assertions like "Socrates is a man," one can make statements of the form "there exists x such that x is Socrates and x is a man," where "there exists" is a quantifier and "x" is a variable. This is in contrast to propositional logic, which does not make use of quantifiers or relations; propositional logic serves as the basis for first-order logic in this sense.
