Neurobiologists at the Technical University of Dresden have shown that neutrophil immune cells releasing the Il-4 signaling molecule play the leading conductor role in cellular-level regeneration following spinal cord injuries. By targeted regulation of this molecular mechanism, the destructive inflammatory cycle can be halted, paving the way for the complete regrowth of central nervous system nerve fibers.

The Pitt Rivers Museum in Oxford has signed an official agreement with representatives of the Forum for Naga Reconciliation (FNR) for the repatriation of thirty-nine human remains that were taken from Northeast India during British colonial rule. This institutional repatriation process is another milestone in the comprehensive decolonization of museum collections from the colonial era.

Just Journal

New Home

Good old Just Journal has found a new home—its own.

It's a feeling that's both joyful and heartbreaking. For 20 years, we were "subtenants" on blogger.com, for which we remain grateful, but now, we're truly at home.

Welcome to the world of Simus.

"Sims" is a Latin word meaning "let us be".

That says it all. Everything is contained in that single word, but it's important to read little by little, day by day, the thoughts that arise from it and help us live life to the fullest.

Conversations in the New Garden

The music-religion

Frank – Master, are the inhabitants of Eudlanta religious? And if so, what do they believe in?

Master – The picture is colorful and very interesting. Almost everyone identifies with the ideas of the human faith, but this is not an organized church, no one speaks in its name, no one tries to appropriate it.

Dobrina – This in itself is unprecedented. If only we could learn the secret of the Eudlanteans, how they do this...

Master – Besides this, there are a thousand creeds, but these are not churches either, as we know them. Rather, they are traditionalist movements.

Nea – This is a great board game, a real miracle weapon against fanaticism.

Master – Among, or rather alongside, these kinds of religions, there exists something extraordinary. This is the music religion. A real religion, with rules, temples, priests, and rituals.

Frank – Surprising. What does this music religion believe in, what does it teach?

Master – You won't find this written down, because according to the followers of the music religion, this is sacrilege. Their temples are actually concert halls of various sizes, where concerts are held every day, usually several times a day. Generally, besides the orchestra, solo musicians, singers, and a choir participate. And of course, a conductor. In the music temple, no one speaks, makes noise, or applauds. Not a single word is spoken either in the audience or on stage. At the same time, at the end of every concert, a piece is performed where the audience sings together with the choir.

Dobrina – This is an incredible spiritual and mental purification. But organizing this must require a huge amount of work.

Master – Absolutely obvious. This basically happens on the internet, with the help of many volunteers. What is particularly important: everyone has the opportunity to participate in putting together the program of nearby temples, and also to participate themselves as a musician, singer, or even composer in some performance.

Nea – This is truly fantastic. This is the land of homo sensibilis. May your world come, music religion!

To Sensitize

Sensitization is not a miracle cure. Sensitization is the true instrument that modern society desperately needs.

Currently, the two decisive pillars of society are the school and the prison. Let us face and courageously admit the obvious: the vast majority of both schools and prisons merely drill and discipline, rather than make one sensitive.

Many civil organizations attempt to cultivate sensitivity in a few children within their reach through various soft programs, but their overall social impact is virtually undetectable.
