## <center>Neutrino astronomy</center><br>
<div class = "text-justify">Recently, thanks to IceCube, has been detected a neutrino coming from a black hole 4.5 billion light years away. For the first time the electromagnetic counterpart of this phenomenon was also observed, similarly to what happened in gravitational waves.</div>

<div class = "text-justify">IceCube is a neutrino detector located at the South Pole, and has been able to detect very energetic neutrinos emitted by the gases around a supermassive black hole. This time, thanks to the telescopes, it was possible to observe the electromagnetic radiation emitted in the same processes that produce the neutrino. In this way it was possible to confirm that the source of the neutrino was really a black hole, and this shows the potential of neutrinos as a tool to investigate the most inaccessible depths of the cosmos. Neutrinos are particles that interact rarely with matter, and are able to cross obstacles that photons can not overcome, and they can provide valuable information on the most distant cosmic phenomena.

## <center>Bacteria against autism</center><br>
<div class = "text-justify">A group of researchers from Southern Illinois University found important clues about the connection between autism and intestinal bacterial flora. In children that have received selected intestinal bacteria, the symptoms of autism became less noticeable.

<div class="text-justify">We can’t say that this is a cure for autism, but it is an encouraging sign that sheds some more light on this still very mysterious disorder. It seems that there is a correlation between the intestinal flora and the symptoms of autism, in particular hyperactivity and the tendency to repeat the same actions several times. The study was performed on only 18 children, so its results must be treated extremely cautiously. Now scientists want to extend the study to adults.

## <center>The cost of decisions</center><br>
<div class="text-justify"> According to a new work published on Science, humans are constantly conditioned in their decisions and their expectations by the costs incurred in trying to achieve their goals, and this would prevent them from being completely rational.</div>

<div class="text-justify">It is well known by who deals with trading... Very often it is difficult to give up what was expected as an easy profit, even in the presence of clear signs that indicate an imminent disaster, because we have invested a lot in that enterprise. And this, sometimes, prevents us from putting our attention to better companies. It is probably a typically human cognitive bias, which "force" us to consider the costs already incurred before taking a certain choice.</div>

<div class="text-justify">Certainly it is not a secret: in the last years social networks have conquered huge sections of the population, and few people are still able to live without them. It is not even a secret that social networks bring with them positives and negatives aspects... And, because of this, it is important to know them thoroughly and adequately reflect on this phenomenon, wondering what are the signs that we should "listen" to realize that we are going further.

## <center>Astronomia a neutrini</center><br>
<div class = "text-justify">È stato recentemente rilevato, grazie ad IceCube, un neutrino proveniente da un buco nero distante 4.5 miliardi di anni luce. Per la prima volta è stata osservata anche la controparte elettromagnetica di questo fenomeno, analogamente a quanto avvenne per le onde gravitazionali.</div>

<div class = "text-justify">IceCube è un rilevatore di neutrini situato al Polo Sud, ed è stato in grado di rilevare i neutrini molto energetici emessi dai gas attorno a un buco nero supermassiccio. Questa volta, grazie ai telescopi, è stato possibile osservare la radiazione elettromagnetica emessa negli stessi processi che producono neutrini. In questo, è stato possibile confermare che la fonte del neutrino fosse effettivamente un buco nero e questo dimostra le potenzialità dei neutrini come strumento per indagare le profondità più inaccessibili del cosmo. I neutrini, infatti, sono particelle che interagiscono pochissimo con la materia, sono in grado di attraversare ostacoli che i fotoni non possono superare e possono fornire informazioni preziose sui fenomeni cosmici più lontani. </div>

## <center>Batteri contro l’autismo</center><br>
<div class = "text-justify">Un gruppo di ricercatori della Southern Illinois University ha trovato indizi importanti sul collegamento tra autismo e flora batterica intestinale. Nei bambini a cui venivano somministrati batteri intestinali selezionati, i sintomi dell’autismo diventavano meno evidenti.</div>

<div class="text-justify">Siamo ben lontani dal poter parlare di cura dell’autismo, ma è un segnale incoraggiante che getta un altro po’ di luce su questo disturbo ancora molto misterioso. Sembra che esista una correlazione tra la flora intestinale e i sintomi dell’autismo, in particolare l’iperattività e la tendenza a ripetere le stesse azioni più volte. Lo studio è stato effettuato solamente su 18 bambini, perciò i suoi risultati devono essere trattati in modo estremamente cauto. Ora gli scienziati vogliono estendere lo studio anche agli adulti. </div>

## <center>Il costo delle decisioni</center><br>
<div class="text-justify">Secondo un articolo pubblicato su Science, l’essere è costantemente condizionato nelle proprie decisioni e nelle proprie aspettative dai costi sostenuti nel tentare di raggiungere i propri obiettivi, e questo gli impedirebbe di essere completamente razionale.</div>

<div class="text-justify">Lo sa bene chi si occupa di trading… Molto spesso è faticoso rinunciare a quello che si prospettava come un guadagno facile, anche in presenza di chiari segnali che indicano un imminente disastro, perché si è investito molto in quell’impresa. E questo, talvolta, ci impedisce di dirottare le nostre attenzioni verso imprese migliori. Si tratta probabilmente di un bias cognitivo tipicamente umano che ci “obbliga” a tener conto dei costi già sostenuti prima di prendere una determinata scelta.</div>

<div class="text-justify">Non è certo un segreto: negli ultimi anni i social network hanno conquistato fette enormi della popolazione e sono pochi coloro che riescono a farne a meno. Non è un segreto nemmeno che questi portino con sé lati positivi e negativi… Proprio per questo è importante conoscerli a fondo e riflettere adeguatamente su questo fenomeno, chiedendosi quali sono i segnali che dovremmo “ascoltare” per renderci conto che stiamo andando oltre.
