GOOD INTENTIONS [5 records]

Record 1 2020-11-18

English

Subject field(s)
  • Yoga and Pilates
CONT

The throat chakra is the 5th chakra and like its name, it is centered in the throat area of the body. The areas it governs are the throat, mouth, ears, thyroid gland, arms and hands. The fifth chakra rules our abilities for communication, creativity, connection and personal intentions. It is also connected with our ability to communicate through hearing, speaking, and listening. It refers to both normal audible communication and the emotional and mental communication we all use in our relationships. It helps us speak the truth from our inner soul as our spiritual voice, as well as to make good decisions and to come up with good ideas. It is also represented by the color blue.

OBS

The seven chakras from the base of the spine to the crown of the head are muladhara (root chakra), swadhisthana (sacral chakra), manipura (solar plexus chakra), anahata (heart chakra), vishuddha (throat chakra), ajna (third eye chakra) and sahasrara (crown chakra).

Subject field(s)
  • Information Technology (Informatics)
  • Sociology of persons with a disability
  • Special-Language Phraseology
CONT

Some website operators, just like the owners of some physical locations, approach accessibility in this way : they allow major accessibility gaps to exist and rely on people with disabilities to ask for accommodations. While it's better than giving people no options for access, even if with good intentions, not making websites accessible by default has several serious issues.

Record 5 2012-02-24

English

Subject field(s)
  • Cognitive Psychology
DEF

The ability to simulate specific personal episodes that may potentially occur in the future.

CONT

In this paper we argue that the emerging concept of episodic future thought(EFT) is a good candidate for capturing the core mental processes at play when forming an intention. Furthermore, we argue that tapping essential EFT features can be helpful in understanding how statements on the forming of true and false intentions may differ.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Psychologie cognitive
CONT

La plupart des animaux sont réactionnaires, mais les humains sont uniques dans le sens où nous nous engageons dans ce qui s’appelle la «pensée future épisodique», c’est-à-dire la simulation du futur via l’utilisation d’éléments passés [...]
