For the past few years, we have been hearing about the effects of blue light, this type of lighting is generated by LEDs and also by our smart devices. A handful of scientists have called for protection from this lighting and the optometry community has even thought about special glasses. Yet, is blue light really bad for us?
A physicist and researcher at the French Society for Radiation Protection sought to answer this question in a podcast called "Digital World." While it's true that the glow can have an effect on circadian rhythm and sleepiness, photochemical risks are virtually nonexistent. In fact, it would require a much longer exposure and by devices diffusing it intensely.
Or, our phones meet standards well below the permitted limits. Especially since the researcher has tried these blue light protections and they are only marginally effective against an already not dangerous source.
The physicist reminds us that the sun poses far more risk to the retina than LEDs. Consequently, it's all very well to go outside, but on very sunny days, it's best to wear your UV protective glasses.

Competency support and non-deficit approach
An employee is hired based on his or her qualifications, which are determined by a job description. The employee is subject to a set of rules and standards enacted by his employers. Within this process of professional socialization lies the rigidity of the hiring. By changing the way we look at the work of employees, it is possible to envision an accompaniment where the reflection on the action is joint and does not measure the gap to be closed but rather what the action teaches us.
The treasure of musical texture for deaf children [Thesis].
Listening engages the external and internal auditory system, the central nervous system, but also the whole body! The musical texture that has been very perceptible since the 20th century is particularly well understood by deaf children with implants, as well as by adult musicians. This understanding, supported by the development of pedagogical methods that involve rhythm, space and movement, consolidates temporal and language learning.
