Budapest Science Meetup – Március
*All the presentations are in Hungarian. Thanks for your understanding!*
Miért rákkeltő az alkoholfogyasztás? És mi az univerzum két legnagyobb rejtélye? A márciusi Budapest Science Meetupon kiderül.
**Az alkohol rákkeltő hatásának nyomában**
*Szüts Dávid – HUN-REN TTK, Molekuláris Élettudományi Intézet, Genom Stabilitás Kutatócsoport*
Az alkoholfogyasztás ismerten rákkeltő, de vajon miért? Kutatócsoportunk az etanol fő bomlástermékének, az acetaldehidnek a mutagenikus hatását vizsgálta sejttenyészetekben. Az általunk talált hatás enyhe, de egyértelmű: DNS-törésekre utaló genomi átrendeződéseket találtuk sejtvonalakon végzett kísérletekben, és ugyanilyen mutációk alkoholfogyasztással való asszociációját gyomorrák esetekben. Az eredmények alapján az acetaldehid DNS-töréseket előidézve okozhat olyan változásokat a testi sejtek génállományában, amelyek hozzájárulnak a tumorok kialakulásához.
**Az univerzum két nagy rejtélye: a sötét energia és a Hubble-feszültség**
*Raffai Péter – ELTE TTK Atomfizikai Tanszék*
A fizikai kozmológia alapvetése, hogy a világegyetem nagy léptékben homogén. Einstein általános relativitáselmélete szerint egy ilyen univerzum tágul, vagyis a kozmikus távolságok -például a galaxisok között- mindenütt azonos ütemben nőnek. A növekedés mai üteme, a Hubble-állandó, a tágulástörténet kulcsparamétere - az univerzum korát is ő árulja el. A legkülönfélébb megfigyelésekhez a Lambda-CDM kozmológiai modell illeszkedik leginkább; eszerint a tágulás mintegy 5 milliárd éve lassulóból gyorsulóba váltott át, egy ismeretlen összetevő, a sötét energia hatására. A sötét energia mellett a kozmológia legégetőbb kihívásává a "Hubble-feszültség" vált: a Hubble-állandó különböző mérési módszerekkel kétféle értékűnek adódik. Vajon ez csak mérési hiba? Vagy forradalom előjele a kozmológiában? És lehet a két nagy rejtélynek közös feloldása?

Reunión de juntaletras.
El objetivo de este encuentro es romper el hielo, hablar de las historias que nos gusta escribir, de por qué escribimos, de los libros que nos gusta leer, de qué dificultades encontramos al enfrentarnos al folio en blanco y de qué esperamos del grupo. En definitiva, se trata de conocernos como personas para entendernos como escritores.
No importa si has escrito diez novelas, cuatro cuentos o el precioso título de un poema sin versos. Aquí todo aspirante a juntaletras es bienvenido.
Meditation (English)
Practice Buddhist meditation in the middle of Budapest!
The meditation is suitable for beginners. Each regular meditation is guided and begins with a short introduction. (all together is about 30-40 minutes)
Our regular Buddhist meditations have proven popular with people who want to integrate authentic Buddhist methods into their daily lives. For the modern lay person who is juggling work, relationships, and an active role in society, we teach a meditation that is easy to learn, and profound and powerful for experienced practitioners.
The meditation originates from the Karma Kagyu tradition of Tibetan Buddhism. It has a cumulative effect on mind, leading to greater clarity and calmness. Fearlessness, joy, and active compassion are the result of regular practice of Buddhist meditation.
* Do I need any special clothing?
No special clothing needed.
* Does the attendance cost anything?
No, the meditation is free.
Session #24 - Birth & Antinatalism - Morals of having children
*“If children were brought into the world by an act of pure reason alone, would the human race continue to exist?"*
Arthur Schopenhauer.
Antinatalism asks an uncomfortable question:
**Is it morally justified to bring a new person into existence?**
In a world marked by suffering, uncertainty, inequality, and social fragility, some philosophers argue that *not being born* may be better than being born at all. This session explores antinatalism, through thinkers like Schopenhauer, and David Benatar.
But this is no longer a purely philosophical question.
Today, birth rates are collapsing across much of the world. States intervene through incentives, restrictions, and population engineering. Technology separates sex from pregnancy and reproduction from the human body itself.
This session explores birth and antinatalism **at the intersection of philosophy, demography, politics, and technology**.
**Introduction (15 minutes)**
We start with a short introduction of the guests.
**Questions to discuss: (1 hour and 45 minutes):**
1. Would you want to be born again?
2. Can it ever be ethical to impose life on someone **without their consent**?
3. Can we meaningfully say someone is “better or worse off” for never existing?
4. How much suffering is it enough to make life not worth starting?
5. Is it worse to risk suffering, or to deny existence entirely?
6. Does society pressure people into reproduction for economic or cultural survival?
7. If antinatalism is right, what follows? Adoption? Voluntary extinction?
8. Can creating a new life be a morally neutral act, or is it better continuing one that already exists?
9. Is having children an act of hope or an act of denial?
10. Can a society that stops reproducing still be a political community — or only an administrative one? is antinatalism politically destabilizing by definition? (Movie: The children of men, Hannah Arendt)
11. Would politics freeze without generational replacement?
12. Would immortality eliminate progress — or stabilize it?
13. Would immortal societies become conservative by default?
14. Is the “right to have a child” absolute—or should it be conditional?
If adoption requires screening, why doesn’t biological parenthood?
15. What are the consequences if artificial wombs become viable?
16. What happens when reproduction becomes a technical process rather than a human one? (Recommended documentary: "The Man with 1000 Kids" on Netflix)
17. Was the One-Child Policy an ethical catastrophe — or a brutal but rational response to material limits? If overpopulation causes massive suffering, is coercive birth control ever morally defensible?
18. If parents screen embryos for severe diseases, is that eugenics — or responsibility?
19. Why is state-driven selection immoral, but market-driven selection acceptable?
20. Is the traditional nuclear family the only morally acceptable way to raise a child?

"It’s a **wonderful** **experience**, it’s like being a kid again, when you were at the park, playing with other kids, and just decided you were going to be best friends for the next hours.

Egynapos Impró Színházi Workshop Ábellel
Egynapos impró színházi workshop Farkas Ábel vezetesével, a Flow Színház szervezésében. Semmilyen előképzettség vagy színházi ismeret nem szükséges. A workshop 9:45-től, 17:00-ig tart (közepén ebédszünettel).
Early bird jelentkezés Február 25-ig.
A részvétel regisztrációhoz kötött. A workshop maximum kapacitása 14 fő. Jelentkezés az alábbi linken:
https://shop.flowszinhaz.hu/impro-szinhazi-workshop-2/
Mindenkiben megvan a képesség az improvizálásra, hiszen minden nap ezt tesszük. A színjátszásban egy lényeges nehezítő körülmény, hogy mások néznek minket, és úgy érezzük, elvárják, hogy alakítsunk valamit. Ez sok feszültséget szül bennünk, és megnehezíti, hogy természetesen viselkedjünk. Az impróban egy másik jelentős nehézség, hogy fogalmunk sincs, mit fog a társunk (társaink) csinálni, és ahhoz hogy kapcsolódjunk. Ez a bizonytalanség további frusztrációt kelt. A tréning során olyan irányelveket, technikákat gyakorlunk, melyek segítenek, hogy a fent említett nehézségeken úrrá legyünk. Ezen módszerek alkalmazása túlmutat a színjátszáson, és az élet más területein is hasznos, mint például a társas együttélés, csapatmunka és kommunikáció.
Tréner:
Farkas Ábel matematikus, bűvész és impró tréner. Több mint 10 éve foglalkozik impró szinhazzal, három kontinensen tanulta és gyakorolta angol és magyar nyelven. A Flow Szinház vezetője.
Helyszín:
Jurányi Produkciós Közösségi Inkubátorház, A epület 3. emelet (3. szint) folyosó végén balra, Közép-Európai Ír Tánc Akadémia terme
! A próbaterembe utcai cipővel nem szabad belépni, helyette váltócipőben, papucsban, zokniban vagy mezítláb lehet. Ezenkívül kényelmes ruha javasolt.
Időbeosztás:
9:45-13:00 Tréning
13:00-13:50 Ebédszünet
13:50-17:00 Tréning
A workshop után be szoktunk ülni közösen a Jurányi bárjába
A workshop díja:
Early bird 16 500 Forint/fő (Február 25-ig regisztrálva)
Normál 19 800 Forint/fő
Az eseményt felnőttek számára tervezzük, ezért csak felnőttek jelentkezését várjuk.
Késés és a csoportmunkát hátráltató vagy zavaró viselkedés esetén a részvételt megtagadhatjuk. Ennek elbírálása a tréner szabad belátására van bízva. Ilyen helyzetben részvételi díjat nem áll módunkban visszatéríteni.
Regisztráció után a részvételi díj nem visszatéríthető. Ha a résztvevő nem tud részt venni, a részvételi díjat nem áll módunkban visszatéríteni. Ilyen esetben a részvétel átruházható más személyre.

CBusData - Discover the Power of Window Functions
Window functions have nothing to do with the Windows operating system but provide a “window” to a result set when used in SQL queries. They are powerful, set-based methods to view data in unexpected ways. Window functions provide easy, set-based solutions to solve some common problems:
* Using running totals
* Performing operations in intervals
* Identifying data gaps and islands
* Performing aggregates without losing detail
Many people are confused by window functions and do not know how to use them properly. This session will explore window functions, how they work, and how to use them. Demonstrations with several examples will solidify how window functions can simplify queries and make them more powerful.
In Person Event: The Secrets to Mental Health
Mental Health, how do you understand it? How can you improve it?
How do you get rid of stress, anxiety and uncertainty? These emotions are buried deep in your reactive mind. Find out what the reactive mind is, and in the process find yourself.
Have you ever suffered from a traumatic experience, a deep loss or been through a painful breakup? Has your ability to communicate suffered as a result? And after that, even though you "moved on" did you find that things were never quite the same? Have you ever looked at childhood photos, or reminisced your early life and wondered where that happiness and spark went?
Are your emotions out of your own control? Have you ever felt, even if you aren’t aware of it, that possibly you are getting in your own way of your happiness and success? How does this affect your self-confidence?
Find out what is at the root of all stress, anxiety, depression and self-doubt. Find out how and why you hold yourself back from achieving your goals and having the life you have dreamed of. As soon as you learn what is at the root of these unwanted conditions, you’ll see it is something you can DO something about. You will not be labeled or categorized at this MeetUp.
This group is hosted by the Dianetics and Scientology Life Improvement Center of Central Ohio.

COUNT monthly event: Kitchen service at Van Buren Center's shelter
Come assist Van Buren Shelter (https://ymcacolumbus.org/locations/vanburen) staff in serving dinners and cleaning up on the 3rd Tuesday of each month. Dinner for the women is 5-6 pm and for the families is 6:15-7:15 pm. There is ample free parking available in the shelter's lot. The recommended area to park is in green in the image above.
There will be a new entrance for the time being. We are asking all volunteers to enter through the Donation Dock door, the orange mark on the image above. This door is located between the Single Adults and Family Shelter. You will see 2 large garage doors with a large green trash compactor in the center. Please head to the closest garage door to the building wall, with a ramp leading up. There, you will see a door with a sign stating instructions on how to enter the building. Please ring the doorbell, and a staff member will come and escort you into the building. If a staff member takes longer than 5 minutes, please call the front desk at 614-689-2020. This is a new process for us, and we do not want to keep you waiting! We appreciate your patience as we navigate this temporary change.
The shelter needs a volunteer count the day before the event so sign-up ends Monday at 4:50 PM. Afterwards some of us go to the Omnipresent Atheists Weekly Meetup in progress to have a bit to eat or drink (http://www.meetup.com/omnipresentatheists/).
Volunteers must be 14 or older. Since we will be working around families, the YMCA does not permit volunteering by individuals with convictions for violent or sexual crimes. The YMCA reserves the right to run background checks on volunteers.
For questions, comment on this page or contact: Andrew, awhit12@yahoo.com, (614)937-5802 (cell). Please let Andrew know if you volunteer anytime other than our COUNT events so that he can count your hours toward our service record.
Columbus Code & Coffee 84 @ Improving
Columbus Code & Coffee is an inclusive, informal co-working session. People of all skill levels attend, and we love it that way. Many people (optionally) bring projects to work on, and many other people (optionally) socialize the entire time. It's entirely up to you!
**What to Expect at the Intro Circle**
\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~
Near the beginning of the event (1:30 pm), we do a standup:
* Organizer announcements, updates, and logistics
Round 1 - (7 secs max):
* Your name
* What you're working on
* What you can help others with
Round 2:
* Community events you wanna plug. If none, that's cool too.
Round 3:
* Job opportunities you're hiring for OR announce that you are looking for one. If none, that's cool.
After the introduction circle, everything is self-organized! Feel free to work alone, pair up, attend one of our workshops/presentations, or mingle!
