High blood pressure damages our blood vessels. It also damages our heart, our brain and our kidneys. A high blood pressure increases the risk of suffering a heart attack and stroke. However, it is not known exactly why a high blood pressure is so dangerous. – The reason is that we have effective antihypertensive medications. So why bother how pressure-induced damage occurs. We feel that this posit

Even two-year-olds possess something that our artificial systems lack – the capacity to think in terms of cause and effect, according to Peter Gärdenfors, professor of Cognitive Science at Lund University. Since ChatGPT was introduced to great fanfare in 2022, the debate a
