Texty o potřebě tmy, anglicky (fwd)



ještě jsem si vzpomněl na hezký pořad BBC, co s náma natočili před léty, je to ilegálně na http://amper.ped.muni.cz/light/audio/
(BBC tehdá na webmoc věcí nedávala, a ostatním to zakázala...).

kromě toho jsem v přehledu níže opomněl uvést dobrý novější článek

Navara, K. J. and Nelson, R. J. (2007)  The dark side of light
at night: physiological, epidemiological, and ecological
consequences.  Journal of Pineal Research, 43, 215-224.

Do emajlu připojuju jedno pdf, které není volně na webu, ale do moodlu
ho jistě dáme. Pro takové tajné dokumenty udělám i zaheslovaný adresář na
,,svém`` amperu.

Názvy předmětu mně napadají (v Norsku jsem měl nějaký lepší nápad, ale
už nevím jaký):

Environmental aspects of electric lighting

Ecology of night: the problem of lighting

Scotobiology: light as a pollutant


Syllabus:

The alteration of day and night is the basic rhythm on our Earth, with
exception of close vicinity of North and South poles, depths of  oceans,
soils and rocks. All eukaryotic (and some bacteria)
cells have inner clocks driving their  metabolism and activities in
about 24 h (circadian) rhythm. Natural alteration of light levels
synchronises their inner clocks with the outside world.

Chronobiology shows that this rhythm has a profound importance for
humans. A problem which developed during the last century is, that the
light signals we get are confused. Indoor lighting became so strong
that it masks the natural light signals. Multitude of diseases are
suspected to be a consequence, from breast cancer to obesity. Many
people can't sleep well because of electric light from outdoors at
night.

Lack of real night outdoors affects wildlife and led to lost of many
species from areas with artificial lighting. It robs mankind of the
wonder of starry heavens and experience from moving in the natural
darkness. Cultural damage and crippled ontogenesy result from this.

Artificial lighting, becoming ever stronger with ever cheaper
electricity (in real prices) and more efficient light sources, changed
our live a lot, improving it tremendously. However, the "24/7" life has
its drawbacks too. Light is to be regarded as pollutant in many
cases, even as a toxin, at night.

Quality and comfort of life enabled by electric lighting can be
maintained and  improved when light will be used with caution, as a
needed but  dangerous stuff -- like medicaments (or beer, wine...).
Sending it just to needed direction, in the needed times, amounts and
colours (filtering out the blue component at night) alleviates most
problems a lot or completely. And saves lots of foil fuels...

Metrology and technology for that will be explained, exercises will
be made. At the end of the course, everybody should be an expert in
environmental (outdoor and indoor) protection against light pollution,
able to advise anybody what should be improved and how to do it.

je i lokálně do jednoho adresáře):
