Jean Piaget’s Genetic Epistemology as a Theory of Knowledge Based on Epigenesis [PDF]
This article aims to highlight Jean Piaget’s theory of knowledge and situate it in this context since its beginnings in Ancient Greece where, in Plato, we already find this seminal idea: knowledge is acquired in successive and upward moments (dialektikê),

UNIQUE ULTRA-RICH RARE METAL ORES OF THE TOMTOR COMPLEX AND PROBLEM OF THEIR GENESIS [PDF]
Main genetic models of the formation of ultra-rich rare metal ores of the Tomtor deposit (Yakutia) are compared on the basis of their structural-textural features, mineral composition, and geologic setting: 1) reducing epigenesis of laterite weathering ...

The effects of valproic acid on skin healing: experimental study in rats
Purpose: To recognize the effects of valproic acid (VPA), an epigenetic drug, on the skin healing process. Methods: Sixty male Wistar rats were divided into two groups: the experiment treated with VPA (100 mg/kg/day); and the control, with 0.9% sodium ...

Epigenetic regulation in lung cancer
Role of epigenetics in lung cancer. Epigenetics is considered the main cause of lung cancer. Epigenetics is categorized into three phenomena: histone modification, DNA methylation, and noncoding RNAs. One of the main approaches to controlling lung cancer is early diagnosis.
