Spectacular Northern Lights linked to suicidal depression
Espetacular aurora boreal ligada à depressão suicida
Alaska's tragically high number of suicide may be
related to cosmic storms and the Northern Lights
(aurora borealis), according to an expert in the study
of brainwaves. O número tragicamente elevado de suicídios no Alasca pode estar relacionado às tempestades cósmicas e à aurora boreal (aurora boreal), de acordo com um especialista no estudo das ondas cerebrais.
Depression in the Far North has in general been
attributed to the deep, dark and long winters. A depressão no Extremo Norte tem sido geralmente atribuída aos invernos profundos, escuros e longos.
But Dr Anita Bush, ________specialises in electroencephalography, has complicated matters by
discovering a link between solar flames and brainwave activity in two sets of Alaskans she has studied for the
past five years. Mas a Dra. Anita Bush, ________especializada em eletroencefalografia, complicou a situação ao descobrir uma ligação entre as chamas solares e a atividade das ondas cerebrais em dois grupos de habitantes do Alasca que ela estudou nos últimos cinco anos.
The microscopic electric impulses were
concentrated in an area of the brain known also to
cause seasonal affective depression (SAD), the condition up to now blamed for dozens of suicides each
year in the remote Alaskan coast. Os impulsos eléctricos microscópicos concentraram-se numa área do cérebro conhecida também por causar depressão afectiva sazonal (TAS), a condição até agora responsabilizada por dezenas de suicídios todos os anos na remota costa do Alasca.
Suicide levels among
the state's 15 to 24-year-olds have risen sharply in
recent years, to six times the national average, says
Dr Bush. Os níveis de suicídio entre os jovens de 15 a 24 anos do estado aumentaram acentuadamente nos últimos anos, para seis vezes a média nacional, diz o Dr. Bush.
She has not yet demonstrated a link between
increased brainwaves and suicidal tendencies but she
thinks existing data on supposed SAD cases may in
fact include cases of suicide induced by geomagnetism. Ela ainda não demonstrou uma ligação entre o aumento das ondas cerebrais e as tendências suicidas, mas acredita que os dados existentes sobre supostos casos de TAS podem, de facto, incluir casos de suicídio induzido pelo geomagnetismo.
For now she has suggested that special dark glasses, worn against solar flames and the Northern Lights,
________ elevate morale among the suicidal. Por enquanto, ela sugeriu que óculos escuros especiais, usados contra as chamas solares e a aurora boreal, ________ elevam o moral entre os suicidas.
Some of her sceptical colleagues as Professor Tom
Hallinan, one of a team studying the aurora, recently
insisted that the most serious health risk in watching
30 the Alaskan night sky was a cricked neck. Alguns dos seus colegas cépticos, como o professor Tom Hallinan, membro de uma equipa que estuda a aurora, insistiram recentemente que o risco mais grave para a saúde ao observar o céu noturno do Alasca era uma torcicolo.

All light on the night
Our cities and towns are far from silent at
night. As most of ______ are going to bed, a lot of
workers are just going to their jobs. It is estimated
that up to a fifth of the working population carries out its duties at night - running hospitals and
maintaining power stations, for example.
There is one problem: They have the same
biological clock as day workers. Night workers often
have trouble sleeping through the day, and sometimes find ______ harder to stay awake, which
means mistakes are more likely to happen. Dr
Lawrence Smith, a psychologist, discovered that
among people who do the same job, night workers
suffered 20% more injuries than day workers.
He is now testing the theory that the light can
be used to fool the human body clock.The body clock
appears to be influenced by light, because one
chemical at its disposal is sensitive to light.
