Поэзия мен музыканың мәңгілік үйлесімі | МАҚПАЛ ЖҰМАБАЙ | TEDxAlmaty


Ақын Мақпал Жұмабай поэзия мен музыканы егіз деп есептейді. Ол бұл дәрісінде неліктен поэзия мен музыканы бір бірімен табыстырғанын түсіндіреді. Оның пайымдауынша, өлең әу бастағы болмысында музыкалы болды. Жер бетінде пайда болған өркениеттердің әдеби тариxы солай дейді. Ақындар өз өлеңдерін әуендетіп айтты. Оны әсерлі жеткізу үшін музыкалық аспап қолданды. Ақын деген ғасырлар бойы біз білетін бүгінгі “қалам мен қағаз ұстаған ақын” бейнесінен өзге болды. Олардың сол замандағы образы төрт элементтен тұрды: сөз, дауыс, музыка, аспап. Мемлекеттік «Дарын» Жастар сыйлығының лауреаты (2006 ж.), ҚР Президент қоры грантының иегері (2016 ж.)

Change your mindset, change the game | Dr. Alia Crum | TEDxTraverseCity


This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. Dr. Crum says the biggest game changer is “YOU, by harnessing the power of your mind." She explores scientific results that show the influence of the mindset on the body, and how changing the subjective mindset produced different outcomes. Dr. Crums work is inspired in part by the placebo effect, and has implications that stretch far beyond the realm of medicine.

Dr. Crum is a professor, psychologist, and researcher investigating how mindsets affect health and behavior.

Dr. Crums research focuses on how changes in subjective mindsets—the lenses through which information is perceived, organized, and interpreted—can alter objective reality through behavioral, psychological, and physiological mechanisms. Her work is, in part, inspired by research on the placebo effect, a notable and consistent demonstration of the ability of the mindset to elicit healing properties in the body. She is interested in understanding how mindsets affect important outcomes outside the realm of medicine, in the domains of behavioral health and organizational behavior.

The wonder material of the 21st century | Monica Cracuin


Graphene – the material that you find at the end of your pencil – has been hailed as a wonder material of the 21st century. Researchers from the Centre for Graphene Science at the University of Exeter explain how it is capable of revolutionising the way our technology works, making it stronger, better and faster. Monica Craciun is Professor in the Engineering Department at the University of Exeter and a leading expert in nanomaterials. She has been awarded a prestigious Engineering Fellowship for Growth, aimed at maintaining UK’s leadership in Advanced Materials (which is one of the eight Great Technologies identified as crucial for the future prosperity of the UK).

Dimitar, who is currently a Research Consultant at Cast, was Monica’s PhD student at the University of Exeter. He came up with the idea of using graphene to make concrete stronger, which ultimately leads to 50% reduction of carbon emissions in the construction industry. His invention attracted a lot of media attention and got shortlisted for the UK TechFest 2018 awards.
