How can sociology reclaim its commitment to rigorous inquiry and viewpoint diversity? Today, John Tomasi sits with Jukka Savolainen, Ph.D., Sociology professor at Wayne State University in Detroit, Michigan, and the moderator of the Heterodox Academy's Sociology community. They discuss the discipline's current challenges, including ideological bias and lack of viewpoint diversity, and explore potential paths toward reform.    Jukka shares his journey into sociology and his decision to leave Finland to pursue a PhD in the United States due to concerns about postmodernist influences in Finnish sociology. He addresses the core aims of sociology, its present state of fragmentation, and the impact of ideological bias on research and discourse. Jukka highlights the importance of empirical evidence and viewpoint diversity while pointing out taboos and restrictions on certain topics within the field.The conversation also examines the role of external interventions, using the example of the Danish government's restructuring of the sociology department at Copenhagen University in the 1980s, and the more recent actions by the state of Florida. In This Episode:

Send us a textContent Warning! This episode digs into subject matter that isn't for the faint of heart (or young ears)!   Joel and Rose had a fun, explicit, and mind-blowing conversation with Jake Miner, from Onyx Coaching as he schooled us on the truth about how we can actually optimize our health based on real science as taught by Dr. Raymond Peat.  Even better- Jake has one of those health recovery stories that truly inspires those of us looking for answers.   In addition to having all sorts of coaching certifications, Jake studied Neuroscience at Copenhagen University.  Don't let his muscles fool you, he's a science nerd, too!  Jake's story:   "Years ago, I was dealing with a host of health problems: severe hypothyroidism, estrogen dominance, sleep issues, gut problems—you name it. I saw multiple doctors, but the only solutions they offered were antidepressants (SSRIs) and testosterone replacement therapy (TRT). Desperate for answers, I tried various diets—Keto, Carnivore, Vegan—along with countless supplements, but nothing worked. My health continued to decline, with my testosterone plummeting to 206 ng/dL. I was cold, had lumps in my chest, and felt completely lost.Over the next 8 years, I turned my life around. I raised my testosterone to 1323 ng/dL, balanced my hormones, and improved my overall health. Along the way, I discovered the work of Ray Peat, which profoundly influenced my approach to health and wellness. Now, I've coached over 5,000 people, helping them understand the importance of metabolic health. I believe that many of our modern health issues stem from our inability to convert food into energy, instead turning it into fat. By addressing these imbalances, we can achieve the vibrant health we all desire."To hire Jake for coaching, please visit http://onyxcoaching.me and you can find his other links HERE Click here to visit Golden Ratio Wellness's website and use the "Become a Client" button to explore ways to work with Dr. Rose and associates on metabolic and hormonal health.

Even the best sportscar cannot move forward without sufficient fuel and the right type of fuel; the same goes for your body while training for or racing long distances.In this conversation with Dr. Ernst Albin Hansen, research leader at Centre for Health and Rehabilitation at University College, Absalon, we learn about the importance of nutrition and fueling while running long distances and more importantly for maintaining the intensity while on those long runs. This discussion revolves around what one can consume before a run, supplements to replenish energy while running, post-workout meal options, the importance of fasted workouts and how one can train their body to utilize fats to produce energy.About Vikas Singh:Vikas Singh, an MBA from Chicago Booth, worked at Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, APGlobale, and Reliance before coming up with the idea of democratizing fitness knowledge and helping beginners get on a fitness journey.

Acclaimed novelist and academic Tabish Khair argues that literature as a distinct mode of thinking can counteract fundamentalism. Literature is a mode of thinking, stories being one of the oldest thinking 'devices' known to humankind. The ways in which literature enables us to think are distinctive and necessary, because of the relationships between its material ('language') and its subject matter ('reality'). Although present in oral literature, these relationships are exposed in their full complexity with the rise of literature as a distinct form of writing. Literature Against Fundamentalism (Oxford UP, 2024) argues that literature enables us to engage with reality in language and language in reality, where both are mutually constitutive, constantly changing, and partly elusive. Tabish Khair defines this mode of engagement as essentially an agnostic one, resistant to simple dogma. Hence, literature can provide an antidote to fundamentalism. Khair argues that reading literature as literature--and not just as material for aesthetic, sociological, political, and other theoretical discourses--is essential for humanity. In the process, he offers a radical re-definition of literature, an illuminating engagement with religion and fundamentalism, a revaluation of the relationship between the sciences and humanities, and, finally, a call to literature as in 'a call to arms'. Tabish Khair is an Indian writer, academic and journalist, born (1966) and educated in the small town of Gaya in Bihar, India. After finishing his MA from Gaya, he completed a PhD at Copenhagen University and a DPhil at Aarhus University, Denmark, where he is now an Associate Professor. He has been a visiting professor or research fellow at various universities and has received Carlsberg, Leverhulme, and other academic grants. Khair is also an internationally published novelist. Morteza Hajizadeh is a Ph.D. graduate in English from the University of Auckland in New Zealand. His research interests are Cultural Studies; Critical Theory; Environmental History; Medieval (Intellectual) History; Gothic Studies; 18th and 19th Century British Literature. YouTube channel. Twitter.

This week we review a work from the department of cardiology and department of cardiac surgery at Boston Children's Hospital on late hypertension in patients following coarctation repair. Late hypertension has been associated previously with late transverse aortic arch Z score but can this be predicted by the immediate postoperative transverse aortic arch Z score also? What factors account for late hypertension in the coarctation patient? Should more patients have their aorta repaired from a sternotomy? Dr. Sanam Safi-Rasmussen, who is a PhD candidate at Copenhagen University, shares her insights from a work she performed while a research fellow at Boston Children's Hospital. DOI: 10.1016/j.jtcvs.2024.08.049

This important piece shines a light on the evolution and challenges of Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS). If you've never listened to TopMedTalk, this is a great place to start. If you've listened before it's possible you've heard us talking with excitement about today's guest, we hope you find this session to be worth the wait. Hear how our guest's insights on the need for an understanding of the pathophysiological basis and integrated pre-, intra- and post-operative care for the best patient centered outcomes. We cover the concept of “DReaMing” (Drinking, Eating, Mobilizing) as both a goal and measure of recovery; it simplifies complex pathways, encouraging a focus on practical, patient-centered outcomes while reminding us to investigate barriers when these aren't achieved. Also, listen to our timely discussion regarding the misinterpretation of fluid management—shifting from avoiding overload to outright restriction—reiterating the importance of precision and nuance in applying guidelines. Can these approaches then be turned into individualized risk assessments, which bridge the gap between protocolization and personalization? Finally there's a powerful call for increased post-discharge research, to monitor and mitigate challenges like fatigue and pain. Recovery does not stop at hospital discharge. Presented by Desiree Chappell, Mike Grocott and Monty Mythen with their guest, Henrik Kehlet, Professor of Surgery at Copenhagen University and Professor of Perioperative Therapy at Rigshospitalet, Copenhagen University, Denmark.  He is also an Honorary Fellow of the Royal College of Anaesthetists, UK, the American College of Surgeons, the American Surgical Association, the German Surgical Society, the German Anaesthesiological Society and American Society of Anesthesiology. Professor Kehlet has published more than 1,250 scientific articles and has given more than 300 invited lectures at international scientific meetings, several honorary lectures including the ASA Excellence in Research Award 2014.

On this episode of Unsupervised Learning Razib talks to Kristian Kristiansen, an archaeologist at the University of Gothenburg and affiliate professor at the Lundbech Center for Geogenetics, Copenhagen University. A past guest on this podcast, Kristiansen has recently contributed to an astonishing lineup of landmark papers published in Nature just in the last few months, Population genomics of post-glacial western Eurasia, Elevated genetic risk for multiple sclerosis emerged in steppe pastoralist populations, 100 ancient genomes show repeated population turnovers in Neolithic Denmark and The selection landscape and genetic legacy of ancient Eurasians. They also discuss his chapter in the 2023 book The Indo-European Puzzle Revisited: Integrating Archaeology, Genetics, and Linguistics. Razib and Kristiansen discuss the state of the emerging synthesis between archaeology, genetics and historical linguistics. Though himself an archaeologist, Kristiansen admits that in many ways historical linguists were correct, with models of mass migration now overturning those of cultural diffusion. He also gives a high-level summary of soon-to-be-published work on the spread of plague in Europe 5,000 years ago, and its role in the collapse of Neolithic civilization and the rise of steppe Indo-Europeans. Kristiansen gives a summary of recent developments in understanding the archaeology of Bronze Age Northern Europe, and in particular the expansion of the Corded Ware people. Razib and Kristiansen also discuss the role of distinct migration streams of the steppe people and their contribution to various Indo-European populations. Is it time to wonder if the Greeks descended from Corded Ware or Yamnaya?

As we reach the tipping points of climate change, how will our world change? Greenland has already lost 4,700 billion metric tons of ice, an amount that is enough to flood the entire United States in 1.5 feet of water.Peter D. Ditlevsen is an Associate Professor at the Niels Bohr Institute at Copenhagen University. The institute was founded in 1921 as the Institute for Theoretical Physics. Ditlevsen is a Professor in Physics of Ice, Climate, and Earth. His fields of interest include climate research, turbulence, meteorology, complex systems, time series analysis, and statistical physics.What happens if we lose the Greenland ice sheet and pass the tipping points and Earth systems shut down?If that shuts down, roughly speaking, the climate of Northern Europe would be like the climate of Alaska. So, climate models that actually simulate what happens when it's shut down, would say that England becomes like Northern Norway, which means that food security and things like that will be threatened because you cannot grow many crops in Northern Norway. And other models say precipitation changes, so places that are wet might become dry, and so on. So, these are of course severe consequences for Europe, but in some sense, this is going in the opposite direction of global warming. We're all talking about we're getting into a warmer world, but I'm talking about a cooling here. But the warm water that does not then flow from the tropics into the North Atlantic will stay in the tropics. And there, you're not contra-balancing global warming. There you will have the heating on top of the global warming. And that I see as maybe the largest problem we have is that the tropics become even warmer. And we have to realize if you live in a place where mean temperatures are maybe late thirties Celsius and or rise to the forties livelihood becomes very difficult.https://nbi.ku.dk/english/staff/?pure=en/persons/peter-ditlevsen(77e9801a-6b31-4488-a282-6c99a406a5f1)/cv.htmlwww.creativeprocess.info www.oneplanetpodcast.orgIG www.instagram.com/creativeprocesspodcast

But the way we've deforested, the way we've made agriculture, the way we have messed with this planet. I mean, if you look at the biomass in mammals (it's us, it's cows, it's sheep, rhinoceroses, giraffes, whales...it's everything) 96 percent of that mass is human or livestock. That is, to me, an extremely scary number, that wild nature has so little room in our world."https://nbi.ku.dk/english/staff/?pure=en/persons/peter-ditlevsen(77e9801a-6b31-4488-a282-6c99a406a5f1)/cv.htmlwww.creativeprocess.info www.oneplanetpodcast.orgIG www.instagram.com/creativeprocesspodcast

And we have to realize if you live in a place where mean temperatures are maybe late thirties Celsius and or rise to the forties livelihood becomes very difficult.https://nbi.ku.dk/english/staff/?pure=en/persons/peter-ditlevsen(77e9801a-6b31-4488-a282-6c99a406a5f1)/cv.htmlwww.creativeprocess.info www.oneplanetpodcast.orgIG www.instagram.com/creativeprocesspodcast

But the way we've deforested, the way we've made agriculture, the way we have messed with this planet. I mean, if you look at the biomass in mammals (it's us, it's cows, it's sheep, rhinoceroses, giraffes, whales...it's everything) 96 percent of that mass is human or livestock.

Welcome to Regnfang's co-publication of the Anthropology on Air podcast. A podcast created and published in collaboration with the Department of Social Anthropology at the University of Bergen. Each episode features interviews with social sciences researchers on topics related to the ways in which our human mind and life is entangled with the communities of ideas and beings with whom we live.In this episode, you will meet Matthew Carey who is associate professor at the Department of Anthropology at Copenhagen University. Matthew's main field site is in the Moroccan High Atlas where he has done recurring fieldwork since 2002. His work here has, among other things, focused on mistrust, complicity, egalitarianism, sincerity, subjectivity, medical pluralism, and anarchism. Apart from that, Matthew has written on issues related to apocalyptic discourses, conspiracy, lying, and bureaucracy. In this conversation, we talk with Matthew about his book ‘Mistrust: An ethnographic theory' before delving into the subject of infant mortality and parental grief among Tachelhit-Berber speaking communities in Southern Morocco. In trying to explain the radical difference here between showcase and claimed experience of grief when small compared to older children passed away, Matthew provides an anthropological analysis of different forms of emotional attachment and relational bonding. The podcast was recorded in early May 2023 when Matthew was in Bergen to give a presentation at the Bergen Social Anthropology Seminar (BSAS).Host and production: Sidsel MarieMusic: Victor Lange

A new study has suggested that women who take hormone replacement therapy to relieve their menopause symptoms may increase their risk of dementia. Scientists at Copenhagen University found that women who had taken HRT were 24 per cent more likely to get dementia or Alzheimer's disease than women of the same age and background who did not use the treatment. But other researchers have said that the cognitive declines may not have been due to treatment. Joining Hayley are Professor Pauline Maki from the University of Illinois at Chicago who has conducted research on menopause and Dr Nelsan Pourhadi from the Danish Dementia Research Centre, the lead researcher on the study. This weekend, World Wrestling Entertainment is coming to the UK. Among the professional wrestlers performing at the 02 in London will be the current Women's World Champion Rhea Ripley. She has had a meteoric rise to the top of WWE and joins Hayley to talk about her journey to becoming champion, as well as what it's like to be a woman in such a masculine world. Baroness Margaret McDonagh, the first female general secretary of the Labour Party, has died aged 61. Margaret McDonagh became a key figure in the Labour party under Sir Tony Blair's leadership, and played a central role in the 1997 and 2001 Labour general election victories. Glioblastoma, a type of brain tumour caused her death. Her sister Siobhain believes more research is needed into the causes and treatment of glioblastoma. Next week is the start of Wimbledon. Last week marked the 50th Anniversary of the creation of the Women's Tennis Association, also known as the WTA. It was established by Billie Jean King in 1973, after a meeting in London of 60 of the world's best female tennis players at the time. Krupa Padhy recently spoke to Sue Barker, who has both played at Wimbledon and been the presenter of BBC TV coverage for three decades, before stepping down last year. Krupa asked Sue if she thinks women's tennis, driven by Billie Jean King, has improved since she herself was playing in the 1970s and 1980s. From Liz Hurley's iconic safety pin dress, to Audrey Hepburn's iconic ‘Breakfast at Tiffany's' gown, the Little Black Dress has taken many forms over the years. The National Museum of Scotland opens an exhibition this weekend called ‘Beyond the Little Black Dress' which will explore the evolution of the LBD and its relationship with female liberation since it came on the scene almost 100 years ago. Hayley is joined by the exhibit's curator, Georgina Ripley to find out more. Presenter: Hayley Hassall Producer: Rebecca Myatt Studio manager: Bob Nettles

In today's episode of LID Radio, we're in discussion with Jacob Dahl, the author of In Search of Time: Understanding the Nature and Experience of Time for a Better Life. We talk about his book and the ten lenses through which he looks at time in it. About Jacob Dahl Jacob Dahl is a Senior Partner Emeritus at McKinsey & Co, a board member and investor. He has an MSc in Economics from Copenhagen University, has worked as a management consultant for 26 years and has lived in Denmark, Europe, Africa and Asia with his wife and four children. Jacob has always been passionate about history, philosophy and physics. About In Search of Time We talk about time all the time; in fact, it is the most used noun in the English language. Yet, we have a very limited understanding of what time really is and find it difficult to explain it. The clock itself has become essential in our lives and having a shared idea of what time is has been critical for the evolution of our societies. However, time also comes with frustrations: we never seem to have enough of it during our busy days, we are bothered about our big life clock ticking too fast, and we are saddened by the lack of long-term considerations by decision makers. So, can we somehow maintain the good aspects of time and deal with the bad, by gaining a better perception of what time really is? This book looks at time through ten lenses in order to grasp a better understanding of it, as well as laying out the benefits of getting rid of our self-imposed bad time habits. ➡️ Grab a copy: https://lidpublishing.com/book/in-search-of-time/

Video: Interview with Dr. Rupert Sheldrake (41:21) Stomach cancer cells halted with whole tomato extracts Sbarro Institute for Molecular Medicine at Temple University  October 10, 2022 The Mediterranean diet has become regarded as highly beneficial to overall health, maintaining ideal weight and a reduced risk of cancer plus many other chronic disease conditions. One of the staples of this diet is tomatoes, especially the low-acid varieties that are grown in Italy and its impact on cancer risk is quite interesting. Recent research by the Sbarro Institute for Molecular Medicine at Temple University in Philadelphia, Pa. has confirmed that two tomato cultivars grown in Southern Italy inhibit both malignant features and cellular growth in stomach cancer cells. For the study, whole tomato lipophilic extracts were analyzed for their ability to fight and diminish neoplastic features of stomach cancer cells. Both the Corbarino and San Marzano tomato varieties were found to inhibit the cloning behavior of malignant cancer cells as well as impede their growth. When tomato extracts were used on stomach cancer cells, key processes related to cell development, migration and proliferation were inhibited. The tomato extracts ultimately induced apoptosis, or cancer cell death in cancer cells. The study results were published in the Journal of Cellular Physiology. Significantly, the tomato extracts contributed to the movement of cancer cells away from the primary tumor, which resulted in their death. These anticancer effects weren't related to just one particular compound such as lycopene. Instead, the whole tomato seemed to contribute to its anticancer effects. Previous studies had suggested the carotenoid compound lycopene, which creates the orange-red color of tomatoes, is what fights cancer cells. While lycopene may still be a major factor, the entire tomato seemed to have a highly potent effect against cancer. Amino Acid Arginine Found As Effective As Drugs For Glucose Metabolism And DiabetesUniversity of Copenhagen & University of Cincinnati, October 9, 2022 If you suffer from type 2 diabetes, you may want to consider snacking on nuts to treat the condition. Supplementation with the amino acid arginine, commonly found in almonds and hazelnuts, could help to improve glucose metabolism by as much as 40%, according to new research in mice. The study shows that supplementation with the amino acid significantly improves glucose metabolism in both insulin-sensitive and insulin-resistant metabolisms. In new experiments, researchers from the University of Copenhagen working in collaboration with a research group at the University of Cincinnati, have demonstrated that the amino acid arginine, found in salmon, eggs, and nuts, improves glucose metabolism significantly in both lean (insulin-sensitive) and obese (insulin-resistant) mice.

”In fact, the amino acid is just as effective as several well-established drugs for type 2 diabetics,” says postdoc Christoffer Clemmensen.  As improbable as it may seem, the most important molecule in regulating the function of our arteries is nitric oxide (NO), a gas better known to us as an air pollutant. As synthesized in our arteries in tiny quantities, however, NO acts as a powerful mediator of vasodilation, the mechanism by which arteries dilate, when necessary, to lower our blood pressure and increase the flow of blood to tissues that need it. The principal source of our NO is arginine. This occurs via enzyme-catalyzed reactions that occur in endothelial cells, the thin layer of smooth, tightly “tiled” cells that line the inner walls of our arteries. 

What researchers have found is that L-arginine potentiation of glucose-induced insulin secretion occurs independently of NO.

 The researchers found that arginine improves glucose metabolism significantly in both lean (insulin-sensitive) and obese (insulin-resistant) mice. “We can also see that arginine increases the body's production of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), an intestinal hormone which plays an important role in regulating appetite and glucose metabolism, and which is therefore used in numerous drugs for treating type 2 diabetes,” said Clemmensen. Supplemental dosages of 6 to 8 grams L-Arginine per day are considered safe. Although available in food, for some applications such as stimulating secretion of growth hormone from the pituitary, it is not released quickly enough as the food is digested. The supplemental doses taken on an empty stomach will arrive at the blood-brain barrier without competition. Then growth hormone secretion will be stimulated which in turn can affect glucose metabolism Increasing green space could narrow lifespan gap between poorest and richest areas University of Glasgow (Scotland), October 19, 2022 Increasing the amount of natural (green and blue) space and private gardens has the potential to narrow the lifespan gap between those living in the most and least deprived areas, suggests research published online in the Journal of Epidemiology of Community Health. Each 10% increase in natural space is linked to a 7% fall in the incidence of early death among the under 65s, the findings indicate.  It's not clear if access to natural space might also be associated with differences in lifespan and protection against an earlier than expected death, so the researchers used the measure of “years of life lost,” or YLL for short, to try and find out. Natural space was defined as: woodland; scattered trees; scrub; marsh; heath; open water (inland or tidal); semi natural grassland; general natural areas, such as grass on sports pitches, roadside verges, and farmland; agriculture; hard bare ground, such as rocks, boulders, and cliffs; and soft bare ground, such as sand, soil, and foreshore. Areas with the highest income deprivation had the lowest average percentage cover of natural space and gardens (58.5%, 49–65%). People living in these areas had the highest levels of ill health. The study found that every 10% increase in natural space cover was associated with a 7% fall in the incidence of premature death.  Food for thought: Study finds link between depression and unhealthy diets Macquarie University, October 18, 2022 A Macquarie University study of 169 adults aged 17 to 35 found those eating a Western-style diet were more likely to have lower levels of kynurenic acid (KA)—a small molecule important to a number of bodily functions—and report higher levels of depression than those eating diets rich in fresh fruit and vegetables. Neuroscientist Dr. Edwin Lim and neuropsychologist Dr. Heather Francis published a paper on the findings of the study in the journal Frontiers in Nutrition. “Western-style diets high in fat, sugar and processed foods were already known to increase the risk of depression, but this is the first time a biological link involving the kynurenine pathway has been established,” Lim says. “People from the group eating an unhealthy diet had lower levels of KA and more severe symptoms of depression. This indicates that KA may help to protect us against depression.” The human body has a number of ways of producing important molecules and metabolites necessary to keep it functioning. One of these important molecules is tryptophan—an essential amino acid that the body can't make itself, that is found in foods like dairy products, poultry, bananas, oats, nuts and seeds. When tryptophan is broken down, it can produce either serotonin and melatonin—important for our mood and sleep—or it can be processed by the kynurenine pathway, which creates KA and other important metabolites linked to neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease. Lim says this is the first time anyone has been able to show that Western-style diet has an effect on the way that tryptophan is metabolized in otherwise healthy young people. “There is, however, a clear relationship between an increased risk of depression and eating an unhealthy diet that is high in fat, sugar and processed foods, giving us all the incentive to eat more fresh vegetables and fruit,” she says. Study finds Mediterranean diet more effective cure for acid reflux than meds Feinstein Institute for Medical Research & New York Medical College, October 8, 2022 Sticking to a Mediterranean diet is just as effective at controlling reflux as medicines prescribed to millions of people each year, research suggests. Patients who ate primarily fish, vegetables and whole grains – and drank alkaline-heavy water – reported a greater reduction in their symptoms than those on proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), the small study found. Patients who ate fish, vegetables and whole grains reported a greater reduction in symptoms than those on proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), the study found Gastric, or oesophageal, reflux describes the traveling of stomach contents back up into the esophagus — a reversal of the normal flow. This is due to a poorly functioning lower esophageal sphincter, a ring of muscle at the top of the stomach that normally shuts to stop the contents of the stomach leaking out and up the foodpipe.  In the study, published in the journal JAMA Otolaryngology – experts compared 85 patients treated with PPIs with 99 who followed a 90 percent plant-based, Mediterranean-style diet, who also drank alkaline water. The diet consisted mostly of fruits, vegetables, grains and nuts and barely any dairy or meat including beef, chicken, fish, eggs and pork. People were also told to avoid known triggers of reflux, including coffee, tea, chocolate, fizzy drinks, greasy and fried food, spicy food, fatty food and alcohol. Patients on the plant-based diet also lost weight and needed fewer medicines for other conditions, including high blood pressure and high cholesterol. ‘The results we found show we are heading in the right direction to treating reflux without medication.'   Shorter sleep in later life linked to higher risk of multiple diseases University College London, October 19, 2022 Getting less than five hours of sleep in mid-to-late life could be linked to an increased risk of developing at least two chronic diseases, finds a new study led by UCL researchers. The research, published in PLOS Medicine, analyzed the impact of sleep duration on the health of more than 7,000 men and women at the ages of 50, 60 and 70, from the Whitehall II cohort study. Researchers examined the relationship between how long each participant slept for, mortality and whether they had been diagnosed with two or more chronic diseases(multimorbidity)—such as heart disease, cancer or diabetes—over the course of 25 years. People who reported getting five hours of sleep or less at age 50 were 20% more likely to have been diagnosed with a chronic disease and 40% more likely to be diagnosed with two or more chronic diseases over 25 years, compared to people who slept for up to seven hours. Additionally, sleeping for five hours or less at the age of 50, 60, and 70 was linked to a 30% to 40% increased risk of multimorbidity when compared with those who slept for up to seven hours. Researchers also found that sleep duration of five hours or less at age 50 was associated with 25% increased risk of mortality over the 25 years of follow-up—which can mainly be explained by the fact that short sleep duration increases the risk of chronic disease(s) that in turn increase the risk of death. “Our findings show that short sleep duration is also associated with multimorbidity. As part of the study, researchers also assessed whether sleeping for a long duration, of nine hours or more, affected health outcomes. There was no clear association between long sleep durations at age 50 and multimorbidity in healthy people.

Exercise and education are recommended treatments for knee osteoarthritis. To date, there have been over 100 clinical trials demonstrating the beneficial effects of exercise for knee osteoarthritis compared to no-treatment control groups. This has resulted in strong recommendations for exercise as a primary management strategy for knee OA. The comparison of exercise to a no-treatment control introduces multiple biases. One option to overcome this is to compare exercise to a placebo treatment such as salt-water injections. A recently published paper compared an 8-week exercise and education program to 4 placebo salt-water injections in 206 adults with knee osteoarthritis. On this episode of Joint Action, we are joined by Marius Henriksen to discuss the results of his study.Professor Marius Henriksen is a research physiotherapist and besides leading the Physiotherapy and Biomechanics research unit at The Parker Institute, he is also a professor of physiotherapy at Copenhagen University and the department of physical and occupational therapy at Bispebjerg-Frederiksberg Hospital. His research focuses on clinical effectiveness of non-pharmacological interventions (in particular physiotherapy) with focus on pain and disability across a wide range of diseases.RESOURCESExercise and education versus saline injections for knee osteoarthritis: a randomised controlled equivalence trialCONNECT WITH MARIUSTwitter: @henriksen_mhWebsite: http://www.parkerinst.dk/CONNECT WITH USTwitter: @ProfDavidHunter @jointactionorgEmail: hello@jointaction.infoWebsite: www.jointaction.info/podcastIf you enjoyed this episode, don't forget to subscribe to learn more about osteoarthritis from the world's leading experts!

Jens Bache is not your ordinary Ashtanga yoga practitioner or teacher. He came to yoga as a highly celebrated Engineer, in the middle of a very normal career trajectory, yet he was looking for more… Life had to have more meaning. He felt isolated and stressed. Then in 1997, on a work-study trip in Berkeley California, Jens Bache experienced yoga for the first time. “A daily yoga practice at home gave me the peace of mind I was looking for.” When he returned to Copenhagen he participated in his first workshop in 1999, and quite unexpectedly, he became the main instigator in creating an Ashtanga Yoga grassroots community in Copenhagen. As Jens said, he had a unique set of ‘process oriented skills' from his Business degree in Project Management, which were badly needed in the yoga community. And so, this kind of self reliance in Jens grew into the first Mysore-style school that he nurtured along with Susanna Finocchi for 18 years. In 2003, Jens traveled to Mysore to learn from Guruji at the Ashtanga Yoga Research Institute and continued returning annually since this first visit. He enjoyed expanding his knowledge about Indian philosophy, culture, and all things yoga. And, quickly, yet not surprisingly, Jens was soon relied upon by the Jois family themselves to run their European Tour stops! So, luckily for you, in this episode, you'll find out exactly what it might be like to host a tour stop with Sharath Jois and his family! Jens has been the primary catalyst in bringing Sharath Jois to Copenhagen 6 times now, the first tour being in 2006 with the whole family, including Guruji (Sri K. Pattabhi Jois) and Saraswathi. He has risen to the occasion again and again and hopes to have the honour once again this summer, in conjunction with his partner Lisa Lalér, co-owner of the Yoga Shala Stockholm, to host Sharathji on tour. Jens translated Sri K.

World's northernmost island研究人员发现'最北'岛屿Scientists have discovered what is believed to be the world's northernmostlandmass - a yet-to-be-named island north of Greenland that could soon be swallowed up by seawaters.研究人员意外发现了据信为地球"最北端"的岛屿，这个尚未命名的岛屿位于格陵兰岛北部，可能很快就会被海水吞没。Researchers came upon the landmass on an expedition in July, and initially thought they had reached Oodaaq, up until now the northernmost island on the planet.研究人员在今年7月的一次探险中偶然发现了这个岛屿，起初他们以为自己已经到达了欧达克岛，也就是迄今为止地球上最北端的岛屿。"We were informed that there had been an error on my GPS, which had led us to believe that we were standing on Oodaaq Island," said the head of the mission, Morten Rasch from Copenhagen University's department of geosciencesand natural resource management.本次任务的负责人、哥本哈根大学地球科学和自然资源管理系的莫滕•拉施说："我们被告知导航出错，让我们误以为自己站在了欧达克岛上。"Oodaaq is some 700 kilometers south of the North Pole, while the new island is 780 meters north of Oodaaq. But it is only 30 to 60 meters above sea level, and Rasch said it could be a "short-lived islet".欧达克岛距离北极大约700公里，新发现的岛屿在欧达克岛以北780米。但岛屿海拔仅有30米到60米，拉施说，它可能是一个"短命的小岛"。 1. landmass['lændmæs]na.大陆块网络：大片陆地；地块；地块性状 2. geoscience美 [dʒioʊ'saɪənsɪz] 英 [dʒi:əʊ'saɪənsɪz]n.地学网络：地球科学；地质科学；地理科学Task force to remove gum waste英国征收口香糖'清理费'Chewing gum producers have signed up to a￡10 million task force to remove the stickyscourge from our high streets. The cashpledge by Mars Wrigley, GlaxoSmithKline and Italian-Dutch multinational company Perfetti Van Melle will help tackle the gum litter that costs￡7 million a year to remove frompavements.口香糖生产商玛氏箭牌、葛兰素史克以及意荷跨国公司不凡帝范梅勒已签署协议，在未来五年内共同出资1000万英镑，成立"口香糖工作组"，以清理英国大街上黏稠的口香糖。清理人行道上的口香糖垃圾每年要耗资700万英镑。Working with Keep Britain Tidy, the firms will invest the money over the next five years to encourage people to bin it instead. Around 87% of England's streets are stained by chewing gum waste, according to Keep Britain Tidy.几家公司将与环保机构"保持英国清洁"合作，将"清理费"用于鼓励人们把口香糖垃圾扔进垃圾桶。根据该机构调查，目前仅英格兰地区被口香糖污染的街道就高达87%。Pilot tests have shown that gum litter can be reduced by up to 64% when people are asked to change their behavior. Littering is a criminal offence, and offenders face on-the-spot penalties of￡150, rising to up to￡2,500 ifconvicted in court.初步试验显示，当人们被要求改变做法时，口香糖垃圾可减少多达64%。在英国，乱扔垃圾是一种刑事犯罪行为，违规者可被当场罚款150英镑，如果在法庭上被定罪，将面临高达2500英镑的罚款。 1. scourge美 [skɜrdʒ] 英 [skɜː(r)dʒ]v.鞭打；鞭笞；折磨；使受苦难n.祸害；灾害；祸根；（旧时用作刑具的）鞭子网络：灾祸；天罚之锤；瘟疫 2. pledge美 [pledʒ] 英 [pledʒ]n.保证；抵押；诺言；抵押品v.抵押；保证给予（或做）；正式承诺；使保证网络：誓言；发誓；碧丽珠 3. pavement美 ['peɪvmənt] 英 ['peɪvmənt]n.〈英〉人行道；铺石路；〈美〉车道；铺地网络：道路；铺筑材料；路面 4. convicted美 [kən'vɪktəd] 英 [kən'vɪktɪd]v.“convict”的过去式和过去分词网络：定罪；被判有罪；宣判有罪Sedentary time increases stroke risk每天坐8小时中风风险高7倍Adults under 60 who spend most of their days sitting have a higher risk of stroke compared to those who spend more time being physically active, a new study finds. People who reported sitting eight or more hours daily and were not very physically active otherwise were seven times more at risk of having a stroke than people who spent fewer than four hours beingsedentary and at least 10 minutes exercising each day, according to a study published in Stroke from the American Heart Association.一项发表在美国心脏协会出版的期刊《卒中》上的最新研究发现，对于年龄在60岁以下的成年人来说，如果每天绝大多数的时间都是坐着的，那么与经常锻炼的人相比，中风的风险会高出数倍。报告称，那些每天坐8小时或以上、且极少锻炼的人，中风的可能性要比那些每天坐着的时间不超过4小时、且每天至少锻炼10分钟的人高出7倍。Researchers included the health information of 143,000 adults from the Canadian Community Health Survey in their analysis. The scientists followed the participants, who were 40 years and older with no prior history of stroke, for an average of 9.4 years.研究人员对来自加拿大社区健康调查项目的14.3万名成年人的健康信息进行了平均长达9.4年的跟踪调查，参与者年龄均在40岁以上，且无中风病史。"Sedentary time is thought toimpair glucose,lipid metabolismand blood flow, and increaseinflammationin the body," said lead study author Dr. Raed Joundi, clinical scholar at McMaster University in Ontario, Canada.

Sleep disruption can also be caused by - or heighten - depression, cardiovascular disease, and other conditions.睡眠紊乱可能和老年痴呆症或其他类型的痴呆症有关，影响着老年人记忆信息、解决问题的能力，并会影响日常行为。睡眠紊乱还可能由抑郁症、冠心病和其他疾病导致或加剧这些病症。1.dementia美 [dɪ'menʃə] 英 [dɪ'menʃə]n.痴呆网络：失智症；痴呆症；老年痴呆症2.cognitive美 ['kɑɡnətɪv] 英 ['kɒɡnətɪv]adj.认知的；感知的；认识的网络：认识能力的；认知性；认知能力

In this episode, Ben and Elliott sit down with Dr. Mike Reiman. Mike is an active clinical researcher, educator and physiotherapist. He completed his doctor of physical therapy at Massachusetts general hospital institute of health professions in 2008, and completed his PhD at Copenhagen University in Denmark, in 2018. He is a co-author of the textbook Functional testing in human performance, and has written 8 chapters on orthopedic examination, intervention and strength training. His current research focuses on performance enhancement, low back and hip pain and evidence-based examination and intervention of the hip joint. He is currently a professor at Duke University. This episode brings a pragmatic discussion on hip pathologies and pain. Mike starts by giving his thoughts on continuing education after finishing school, and then transitions to topics on the hip including overmedicalization and special tests, determining who might be good surgical candidate, differentiating hip pathologies from developmental and sport specific adaptations, and finishes things off by sharing his approach at rehabbing individuals dealing with hip pain. The discussion turned into a great resource for those wanting to know more about assessing and managing hip pain.

"It's all about safety and recovery, it's not about speed"; this conversation focuses on enhanced recovery, are we getting it right and where are people getting it wrong? How reliable and well understood is the data behind it? Also, what are the current thoughts on perioperative steroids? How do we refocus and move back to enhanced recovery after surgery rather than "enhanced discharge" after surgery. Presented by Monty Mythen and Desiree Chappell with Sol Aronson, tenured Professor at Duke University, and their guests Henrik Kehlet, a gastrointestinal surgeon and former professor of surgery, Copenhagen University, and now professor of perioperative therapy and Head of Section of Surgical Pathophysiology, Rigshospitalet, Copenhagen University and Nick Scott, an early proponent of Enhanced Recovery in the UK who has spent the last six years as the Vice Chairman of Anesthesia and Perioperative Medicine at Hamad Medical Corporation in Qatar.

Mikkel Thorup is professor of Computer Science at Copenhagen University and an internationally leading researcher in the theory of algorithms. During the Covid-19 pandemic, he has served on the scientific board advising the Danish authorities on the development of a national contact tracing app using mobile phones for exposure notification. We sit down with Mikkel, exposure notification apps dutifully switched on, and talk about how such an application works. The Danish system, “SmitteStop”, uses Digital Privacy-Preserving Proximity Tracing. What does that even mean – how is the protocol defined, what is the mechanism by which privacy is preserved (and to which extent), and which role does the Google–Apple API play in the application? Apart from the technical issues, we probe several issues on the fault line of technology and society. What are the alternatives to privacy-preserving exposure notification? E.g., could we do much more, and – to the extent that our phones already track everything and we share it freely – why aren’t we just using that information during a pandemic? What are the trade-offs between safety and liberty, is privacy a form of manslaughter, whom should we trust with our data, and how do different cultures around the globe manifest in deciding these tradeoffs?

On the morning of the first day of the 2018, annual conference, of the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) Monty Mythen and Desiree Chappell were lucky enough to get an exclusive interview with Professor Henrik Kehlet. Henrik Kehlet is a gastrointestinal surgeon and former professor of surgery, Copenhagen University, and now professor of perioperative therapy and Head of Section of Surgical Pathophysiology, Rigshospitalet, Copenhagen University. He has published more than 650 articles within perioperative pathophysiology, pain relief and surgical outcome summarized into the concept of 'fast-track surgery', which also includes a focus on perioperative fluid management.

Laura joins me from Tallinn, Estonia. Laura holds a MSc in Food Innovation and Health from Copenhagen University where she found her passion in gastrophysics and sensory science. Her topic of research has been about developing methods to educate children about the taste of food. This is a thought provoking chat regarding kids and food something I have become intertwined with being a father of young girls. At the moment she is working on establishing the sensory education method in kindergartens and elementary schools at the national level in Estonia until recently she was leading the research and development in the best restaurant group in the Baltics- Siigur Restaurants.  What could be more important for the wellbeing of the next generation!|?

The European Union is arguably facing the greatest existential threat in its history. One of its big four member states has left and the main opposition parties in France and Italy flirt with leaving, while Hungary and Poland drift away from liberal democracy, and the Russian and US presidents openly seek the union's destruction. In The Tribalization of Europe: A Defence of our Liberal Values (Polity), Professor Wind identifies a common theme: tribalization, and a common remedy: an end to defeatism among liberal democrats. The majority isn't always right, she says, and minorities need protection. Europeans – people as well as politicians – should stop taking the peace, prosperity and freedom they enjoy for granted and fight back against the populists.

Enjoy!

What are the big things to watch in 2020? "Renablement, rehabilitation and readmission" from a patient perspective and "training compotence, resillience and 'burn out,'" from the practitioner's point of view, according to one of our contributors on this piece. What about Enhanced Recovery, is that still set to be big in 2020? Is it methadone we should be thinking about? Is automation something on our collective horizon? What about the "B word", "Brexit"; will political change in the UK bring opportunity? The ongoing issue in the US of opioid addiction and overuse is discussed. We also ask if the coming year will spread more light on what it really means to be "ready for surgery"? And, how and what should we be thinking about our profession's environmental impact? Here's a link to the Perioperative Quality Initiative (PQIP) page: https://pqip.org.uk Presented by Nick Margerrison, with Monty Mythen and Desiree Chappell interviewing our various contributors on this show, appearing in order; Gezz Van Zwanenberg, Nurse and Project Lead North West London Critical Care Network, Simon Davies, Consultant Anaesthetist at York Teaching Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, Mike Grocott, Professor of Anaesthesia and critical care at the University of Southampton, Sol Aronson, Tenured Professor, Duke University and Executive Vice Chairman in the Department of Anesthesiology, Andrew Klein, Cardiothoracic Anaesthetist at Royal Papworth Hospital in Cambridge and Editor in Chief of Anaesthesia, Tom Woodock, author and independent consultant in patient safety, medical law and ethics, Henrik Kehlet, a gastrointestinal surgeon and former professor of surgery, Copenhagen University, and now professor of perioperative therapy and Head of Section of Surgical Pathophysiology, Rigshospitalet, Copenhagen University and Matt Wiles, Consultant Anaesthetist & Senior Clinical Lecturer at Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust and University of Sheffield.

On last year’s Heartland Festival New Zealander and entrepreneur Deborah Crowe met with Danish professor of Computer Science Fritz Henglein. In front of a live audience in the festival’s Future Talks tent the two participants discussed the future of Blockchain. Deborah Crowe is the founder of Isonomy that amongst other things develop technology to fight and prevent money laundering and terrorism.  Fritz Henglein is a professor of Copenhagen University and he studies logic, algorithms and semantics in programming languages.  In this conversation the two explain what Blockchain is – what can it already do and how are we going to use it in the future. The conversation is moderated by tv-host and tech expert Nikolaj Sonne.

Presenter: Vivien Langford     Production: Andy Britt Students are calling on adults to strike for climate action on September 20th.We start with emotional voices from Melbourne City Council as they declare a Climate Emergency. As Mayor Cathy Oke says "If we don't, I don't think I could say, hand on my heart, that we have done enough".Vivien then talks to secondary students in Sydney, Daisy Jeffrey and Jean Hinchcliff.From Geelong, Australian Youth Climate Commission's Kai Bowie tells us how his knowledge about Climate Chaos and the ability to act was massively boosted by AYCC. He calls on teachers to permit a free discussion and sharing knowledge in the classroom. Uni students are represented by Cooper Forsyth whose objective in  striking on September 20th is not to leave workers behind.These students have been on a steep learning curve since the "climate election" and are determined that the transition to a zero emissions society is a fair one and urge all workers to join them in a strike for climate action on Sept 20th. They would also like teachers to make their education underpin the new climate realities. At the recent Education International conference in Thailand  Susan Hopgood spoke to teachers."Colleagues, no discussion of the future can be conducted outside the context of an emergency situation that touches us all....The most significant thing we've seen is the youth mobilisation.... their determination and commitment are exactly what we need at this crucial moment......Schools  must be spaces for learning about the power and privilege that a handful of humans are given to perpetuate climate injustice and stifle opposition." We speak to Inez Harker-Schuch from Copenhagen University. Her computer game "CO2peration" will bring more climate science into the curriculum and she's calling for teachers to test it in Australian classrooms.  Tarun Whan is a Science and Digital Technologies teacher from Caroline Chisholm school in Canberra.

Is brain training possible and how?Instead of focusing on a particular topic, in this episode Kim and Alessia discuss brain health in general - how we know if we possess it, what we need to protect it from, and most importantly, how to take good care of it. A long-time brain health enthusiast and an entrepreneur in the domain of digital healthcare for brain disorders, Kim has a lot to share regarding the topic - current statistics on most common brain diseases, the mechanisms behind neuroplasticity, as well as health tips that apply to the brain. Special attention is paid to the solutions to the problem of brain health that digital health technology can offer. Namely, Kim Baden-Kristensen is a co-founder and CEO of Brain+, a digital therapeutics company that developed an app-based cognitive rehabilitation platform in collaboration with health and education institutions, like the Copenhagen Center for Rehabilitation of Brain Injury and the Copenhagen University. In this interview, he describes the Brain+ approach to cognitive training and other areas in brain-related healthcare, and lays out how it is rooted in current neuroscience. This is the first half of a two-part interview - the next episode focuses on which changes in our lifestyle can improve brain health.Kim Baden-Kristensen is the co-founder and CEO of Brain+, a digital therapeutics company that helps people with brain disorders and injuries to recover their fundamental cognitive brain functions and daily life capabilities by using an app-based cognitive rehabilitation platform, which is developed in close collaboration with patients, clinicians and researchers. https://www.linkedin.com/in/kbadenk/ | Alessia Covello is a life science IT consultant working in the field of healthcare technology implementation, and advocating for better services for people with brain conditions and learning disabilities. https://www.linkedin.com/in/alessiacovello/ Topics discussed:3.43 Introduction to the podcast6.43 What made Kim start Brain+10.58 The power of neuroplasticity17.02 The general problematic of brain health 22.37 Finding the technological solution to the brain health problems - the mission of Brain+25.48 Brain+ Games27.12 Brain coach, offered by Brain+31.14 What does it mean to have a healthy brain? 35.30 Brain training - the importance of lifelong learningDisclaimer:All references to products, companies, and organizations in this podcast and the article that accompanies it are included with the purpose to inform, rather than promote or advertise.

Thanks to pop culture, dopamine is commonly associated with pleasure-seeking and addiction, but its function goes way beyond that. Despite the fact that only about 400 000 out of 10 billion neurons in our brain produce it, the importance of natural dopamine for our survival is tremendous. It is responsible for us making a difference between what is good and what is bad for us, our ability to compare expectations to reality, but also for basic functions like physical movement. And it’s not only survival of humans it has a role in - dopamine systems are something we share with organisms as simple as fruit flies.To find out about dopamine function and current research into it, Kim and Alessia interview professor Ulrik Gether, head of the Department of Neuroscience at Copenhagen University. A trained medical doctor, Gether studied at Copenhagen University and Stanford University Medical School, and is now a leading researcher on neurotransmitters, dopamine in particular. He currently co-manages the project called Attention to Dopamine, an interdisciplinary endeavor aiming to provide better understanding of the relations between dopamine and Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).Even more importantly, he tells us about practical ways in which we can affect dopamine production to improve our lifestyles - its role in changing habits and how to prevent relapse into old bad habits. Furthermore, we find out about the applications of dopamine in Parkinson’s disease treatment, ADHD, and schizophrenia, and get to peek into the cutting-edge research of dopamine Gether does at his lab at Mærsk Tower, Copenhagen.Kim Baden-Kristensen is the co-founder and CEO of Brain+, a digital therapeutics company that helps people with brain disorders and injuries to recover their fundamental cognitive brain functions and daily life capabilities by using an app-based cognitive rehabilitation platform, which is developed in close collaboration with patients, clinicians and researchers.https://www.linkedin.com/in/kbadenk/ Alessia Covello is a life science IT consultant working in the field of healthcare technology implementation, and advocating for better services for people with brain conditions and learning disabilities.https://www.linkedin.com/in/alessiacovello/ Talking points include: 4:13 What is dopamine and why is it important?9:19 Dopamine and addiction - how compulsive behaviors arise, what they do to receptors in the brain, and how to defeat addiction18:44 The power of habit and changing habits: The process of “cue-behavior-reward”21:37 Dopamine and movement - dopamine gets us going22:13 Dopamine in Parkinson's disease (PD) and Parkinson’s treatment28:45 Schizophrenia, dopamine, and related treatments32:42 ADHD, dopamine, and related treatments37:36 Current research on dopamine - what we have learned in the recent years and how42:03 Research in Gether’s lab - genetic factors and dopamine, its relation to early onset Parkinson, effects of drugs, etc.48:06 The future of dopamine research - gene editing and its potential in brain treatmentsDisclaimer:All references to products, companies, and organizations in this podcast and the article that accompanies it are included with the purpose to inform, rather than promote or advertise.

Weekly Podcast from Cornerstone Wesleyan Church, North Gower, Ontario www.knowgrowshow.ca     Sarah shares with us about her pioneer work at Copenhagen University with Power to Change (https://p2c.com/) FREE SMART PHONE RESOURCES! Sarah mentioned two evangelism resources: Soularium and Perspectives. You can get them for free on your smart phone! Look for the Perspectives app on your smart phone store http://www.perspectivecards.com/app/. Look for Soularium on the google play store or apple store.  QUESTIONS Sarah shared in Danish culture it's considered immature to believe in God: "Why believe in God if there's science". Do you see some of the same tendencies in Canadian culture? If so, how? Sarah said that talking about faith is taboo in Danish society. What is it about faith that makes it sometimes so sensitive to talk about? Sarah said that 'nationals are better at reaching their own people'. Think of some reasons why this might be.  Pray for Olivia and Clarissa and the future work of Agape / Power to Change in Denmark.  Sarah shared this statistic: "Quebec has the largest unreached population in North America: 99.3%* of the population have never heard the Gospel (roughly 8 million people)" - *Daniel Henderson (goo.gl/xyynFp). Were you surprised by this fact? What does it mean for us to have a mission field this size on our doorstep? Listen to Sarah's epiphany: God cares more about sanctifying us, making us more like Jesus, that He does about our comfort Sarah said that we can be "honest with God": much more than we probably are. In what way is God calling you to be honest with Him? Read Romans 4 and 5 and then Hebrews 11 and 12.

Live Tue. Jan. 31st, 2017 8pm EST on Para-X-Radio.com Andrieh Vitimus and Jason M. Colwell welcome Antero Alli back for a second week, because we are so impressed by his work.  Antero will be talking to us about his work on The Eight-Circuit Brain. The Eight-Circuit Brain advances and expands the material in Alli’s groundbreaking book, Angel Tech, a compendium of techniques and practical applications based on Dr. Timothy Leary’s 8-Circuit Brain model. After more than twenty years of research and experimentation, Antero’s earlier findings are significantly updated and enriched in this new body of work. In 1977 Antero was inspired by the Paratheatre of Jerzy Grotowski and over the next four decades, he combined his early theatre experience and training (see below) towards the creation of his own paratheatre medium — as documented in his book, “Towards an Archeology of the Soul” (Vertical Pool, 2003), in four videos (1992-2012), and in academia by Nicoletta Isar, Professor at the Institute of Art History,Copenhagen University (2008). Between 1975 and 2005, Antero wrote, directed, produced and performed in numerous experimental theatre productions. In 2005, Antero stopped creating theatre and wrote and directed a series of feature-length art films — including “The Greater Circulation” (2005; 93 min) a critically acclaimed cinematic treatment of Rainer Maria Rilke’s “Requiem for a Friend“, “The Invisible Forest” (2008; 111 min) featuring the radical ideas of French Surrealist, Antonin Artaud, “To Dream of Falling Upwards“(2011; 120 min), exploring the occult worlds of rural and urban sorcery and “The Book of Jane” (2013; 115 min.), an urban fable of Feminine initiation. In late 2015 Antero ended his 23-year era of filmmaking and returned to his roots in experimental theatre in Portland Oregon where he also continues his paratheatre group work.

A world leader in sportsphysiotherapy, Associate Professor Dr Kristian Thorborg is from Copenhagen University. He is renowned for his studies and clinical workshops related to patients with hip, groin, hamstring and knee related injuries. Here he outlines: - the paradigm shift for the use of exercise to treat conditions such as tendinopathy and hamstring strains. He addresses questions such as ‘What is the ideal type of exercise?’ and ‘Does the body know if the exercise is concentric or eccentric?’ - cheap technology that can be used to help patients measure the load they are using and to check compliance - the challenge of treating patients in season - the concept of progression and the different stage of rehab that is preparation for ‘return to play’ - prevention – it needs monitoring of the players – waiting until they show up with pain is too late

Kevin has been reading a book by Jeff Olson called The Slight Edge. In this weeks show we look at how the slight edge can be used to make a real difference in the next 100 days. For more information you can check out The Slight Edge as described by the author Jeff Olson on You Tube. https://youtu.be/pSBaZJ1y6MU Another good video book review: The Slight Edge By Jeff Olson: Turning Simple Disciplines Into Massive Success And Happiness  https://youtu.be/wf2mtv6V4_M The book is available on Amazon http://amzn.to/2bFuRBb in the UK and http://amzn.to/2bTVijW in the USA What is The Slight Edge all about? If you set your mind on doing something, focus on it and work at it, show up, do it, keep doing it and you'll get results. Jeff Olsen says it is the small changes that we all have an opportunity to make, that will make a difference. Little changes make a very large impact. This is demonstrated in a weird way by imagining the different ways you can combine LEGO bricks.So how many different ways can you combine six eight-stud LEGO bricks. When Graham used to ask LEGO stockists to estimate the number of ways you can combine 6 eight-stud LEGO bricks (of the same colour) the answer, as demonstrated by Soren Eilers of Copenhagen University is 915,103,765 ways to combine six, eight-stud LEGO bricks. http://time.com/3977789/lego-brickumentary-math-professor-combinations/ Jeff Olson talks about just showing up? Why are only 5% of the population successful? He concludes that it is just as easy NOT to do something as it is to do them. So if you are faced with choosing a glass of water rather than a can of Coke every day for your lunch. By electing to choose the free water, tomorrow it won't amount to a hill of beans. You will not lose a load of weight. However, if you make this choice day in and day out, over several months and years, you'll be a lot healthier. It will be a massive health benefit. The Slight Edge makes the point that it is just as easy to do something as not doing it. Jeff Olson talks of the ‘compound interest' effect. Kevin also referenced Hal Elrod's Miracle Morning - Hal Elrod - "The Miracle Morning" https://youtu.be/U0uRp7BoPVY Kevin also mentioned Jim Collins' Hedgehog concept: Watch this video https://youtu.be/JUrdbmNBpyY Jim Collins Hedgehog Concept works perfectly with The Slight Edge   Kevin went on to discuss the Flywheel Effect – here's Jim Collins on video talking about it: https://youtu.be/JUrdbmNBpyY So how do we apply this in the Next 100 Days? Our answer is don't look any further forward than TODAY, or the next 24 hours. Choose a little change in your life. That little change will improve your health, or improve your business. It might be a 30-minute period every day building your Twitter following. Kevin also mentioned Dr B J Fogg. His TED talk is linked here: https://youtu.be/AdKUJxjn-R8 Accountability – turn up in our Facebook group and make yourself accountable to the group. We'll keep you honest. Do that little thing. ABC of Failure (courtesy Dan Kennedy) “A”      Aversion to tests and grades. “B”      Big items only – tested and graded – measure the little things. Know your detail. Know the metrics that drive your business. It is not about “Don't sweat the small stuff” That's rubbish. Do sweat the small stuff. Do test your business. “C”       Cost management versus relationship management – there is a lot of false bargains out there. Avoid the ABC of failure and create your “Slight Edge”.

The management of the septic patient in ICU is a recurrent topic for debate amongst intensivists. The decision of if and/or when to give blood transfusions is one of the key sources of contention. Dr Anders Perner is one of the most qualified people to weigh in on this debate. In this talk from SMACC Chicago, he delivers his stance on when to pull the transfusion trigger.Dr Anders Perner is an Intensive Care Specialist at Rigshospitalet and a professor in intensive care at Copenhagen University. He is the chairman of the Scandinavian Critical Care Trials Group and the strategic research program “New resuscitation strategies in patients with severe sepsis’. The contents of this talk are based on the findings of the TRISS trial - Transfusion Requirements in Septic Shock. This trial, Lower versus Higher Hemoglobin Threshold for Transfusion in Septic Shock was published in the NEJM in October 2014. The aim was to evaluate the recommendations from the Surviving Sepsis Campaign regarding transfusion in septic shock. The recommendation is that after the first 6 hours, transfusion threshold should be a Hb

A lecture by Rasmus Christian Elling, Copenhagen University

Prof Inge Marie Svane (Herlev Hospital, Copenhagen University, Copenhagen, Denmark) talks to ecancertv at the 1st Immunotherapy of Cancer Conference ( ITOC ) in Munich about adoptive T-cell therapy (ACT) with tumour infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs). This is a personalised treatment for cancer whereby T-cells from a patient's tumour are taken out of the body, activated, multiplied, and put back in to tackle the tumour. This treatment has achieved impressive clinical results in several single institution phase I/II clinical trials performed outside Europe, and holds the promise to enter the mainstream of standard melanoma care in the near future. However, although transient, the toxicities associated with high-dose IL-2 classically administered together with TILs are severe and recent data have questioned its use. Despite its clinical efficacy, with impressive response rates and several long surviving completely responding patients, the implementation of TIL based ACT into current practice has been severely hampered by the technical complexity of cell production, the toxicity profile demanding treatment at specialized cancer centres, and lack of investment from the pharmaceutical industry. Dr Svane suggests that the next step should be a pivotal phase III trial in melanoma; required for regulatory approval. Further improvement of the therapy could also be pursued through combination treatment.
