Toen na de Tweede Wereldoorlog popmuziek ontstond, ontstond er ook een automatische associatie met jongeren en met progressiviteit. Maar popmuziek is volwassen geworden en niet langer voorbehouden aan de jeugd. Bovendien zien met de politieke ontwikkelingen in de VS ook popsterren 'verschuiven' naar rechts. In deze aflevering verwonderen de Mediadoctoren zich over muziek- en jeugdcultuur onder Trump. Dat doen we met Tom ter Bogt, emeritus hoogleraar Populaire muziek en jeugdcultuur aan de Universiteit Utrecht.  We staan uitgebreid stil bij fenomenen als Taylor Swift en Andrew Tate. We trekken parallellen met de jaren 80, toen ook een minderheid van jongens conservatief was. Het gaat over mentale gezondheid en de effecten van sociale media daarop. Is er sprake van een fundamentele verandering in popmuziek en jeugdcultuur?  Links bij deze aflevering:  Nederlandse website HBSC onderzoek; Podcast over Dolly Parton.  Verwante afleveringen uit het archief: Afl 14: Muzieksmaak en maatschappelijke veranderingen;  Afl 43: Genres en drugs;  Afl 51: Dood van de popster;  Afl 165: Waarom cabaret progressief lijkt, maar het niet is;  Afl 199: Langetermijn fandom.

Daugiau nei dešimtadalis Lietuvos vienuolikamečių: 12 proc. mergaičių ir 14 proc. berniukų, jau yra patyrę tabako dūmą. Pagal bent kartą gyvenime rūkiusių vienuolikmečių skaičių Lietuvą lenkia tik Bulgarija. Tarp trylikamečių šis rodiklis dar didesnis. Beveik ketvirtadalis visų trylikamečių: 23 proc. mergaičių ir 24 proc. berniukų jau yra traukę dūmelį. Pagal bent kartą gyvenime rūkiusių trylikamečių skaičių mūsų šalis yra lyderė pasaulyje. O bent kartą gyvenime rūkiusių penkiolikmečių skaičiai artėja prie pusės: 42 proc. merginų ir 46 proc. vaikinų jau yra rūkę. Pagal šį rodiklį atsiliekame tik nuo Danijos penkiolikmečių.Tai rodo tarptautinis moksleivių gyvensenos tyrimas (HBSC), kuris yra Pasaulio sveikatos organizacijos tyrimo dalis. Šio tyrimo metu 44-iose pasaulio šalyse buvo aiškinamasi apie paauglių alkoholio, tabako vartojimą bei elektroninių cigarečių garinimą, taip pat savijautą.Prasčiausiai atrodome, pagal paauglių, išbandžiusių elektronines cigaretes mastą. Pagal šį rodiklį Lietuvą „pirmauja“ pasaulyje. Net 18 proc. vienuolikamečių mergaičių ir 21 proc. berniukų jau yra išbandę elektroninių cigarečių garą. Tarp trylikamečių, išbandžiusių elektronines cigaretes skaičius: 36 proc. mergaičių ir 41 proc. berniukų. O tarp penkiolikmečių, išbandžiusių elektronines cigaretes, skaičiai jau perkopė pusę visos šios amžiaus grupės: net 58 proc. merginų ir 60 proc. penkiolikmečių vaikinų yra patyrę „garinimą“.Daugiau nei trečdalis visų penkiolikmečių: 36 proc. merginų ir 34 proc. vaikinų, prisipažino „garinę“ elektronines cigaretes per paskutines 30 dienų.Ne ką geriau mūsų šalis atrodo ir, pagal paauglių, ragavusių alkoholio rodiklį: 22 proc. tiek berniukų, tiek mergaičių jau yra ragavę alkoholio. Pagal šį rodiklį esame aštunti pasaulyje.Nagrinėjant psichikos sveikatos ir psichologinės gerovės rodiklius, išryškėjo, kad savo sveikatą puikiai vertina tik 35 proc. Lietuvos penktokų, o tarp devintokų tokių jau tik kas ketvirtas (25 proc.); Europoje šie rodikliai atitinkamai 41 ir 32 proc.Lietuvos moksleiviai gana panašiai vertino savo pasitenkinimą gyvenimu ir atliepė bendrą psichikos sveikatos tendenciją: tarp vyresnių jaunuolių psichikos sveikatos rodikliai prastesni, ypač – tarp mergaičių.Ką daryti pamačius šiuos palyginamuosius rodiklius? Ar yra kokių nors efektyvių priemonių situacijai gerinti, ar tegalime tik konstatuoti ir skėsčioti rankomis?LRT radijo švietimo laidoje dalyvauja HBSC tyrimo vadovas, Lietuvos sveikatos mokslų universiteto Visuomenės sveikatos fakulteto profesorius Kastytis Šmigelskas, psichologė-psichoterapeutė, Kauno jaunimo narkologijos pagalbos centro vadovė Aina Adomaitytė ir reabilitacijos centro „Vilties švyturys“ vadovas, Lietuvos priklausomybės ligų asociacijos prezidentas Albertas Lučunas.Ved.

Podľa medzinárodnej štúdie o zdraví HBSC klesá počet školákov, ktorí spia odporúčaných 8 až 10 hodín. „Deti v štúdii uvádzali, že spia menej pre školské problémy a konflikty. U tínedžerov zaznamenávame aj nárast psychických problémov. Ďalším faktorom je používanie elektroniky, vysedávanie pred počítačom či mobilom do neskorých nočných hodín,“ hovorí psychologička PhDr. Eva Smiková, PhD. z Výskumného ústavu detskej psychológie a patopsychológie.

Fortunately a group of scientists and healthcare workers turned freedom fighters in our mighty neighbor to the North have joined forces to provide much-needed data and insights from what we know (and don't know) about the new mRNA vaccines advertised to "halt the spread of SARS-CoV-2" in order to support family autonomy and re-boot truly informed consent. This alliance is called the Candian Covid Care Alliance (CCCA)In this mini-sode, you'll hear from two of the CCCA freedom fighters.

Internationaal staan we er goed op: De Nederlandse jeugd is een van de gelukkigste ter wereld. Verbazingwekkend en ook wel een beetje schokkend waren daarom de cijfers in het HBSC (Health Behaviour in School-aged Children)-onderzoek dat eind vorig jaar verscheen. Het gaat namelijk slechter met de Nederlandse jeugd. Het aantal mentale problemen neemt toe en ook geven jongeren een lagere score aan hun leven dan een aantal jaar terug. En vooral met meisjes gaat het minder goed. Hoe moeten we deze trend zien? Waar wordt dat afnemende welzijn door veroorzaakt? En wat kunnen we eraan doen? In deze aflevering van Zaaigoed hoor je:- Gonneke Stevens, hoogleraar adolescent health and well being in Utrecht, en leider van het HBSC-onderzoek in Nederland;- Frederieke Vriends, zij is directeur van MIND Us, een organisatie die werkt aan verbetering van de mentale gezondheid van jongeren;- Marjolein Hoekstra, student Kunst en Economie aan de HKU, werkzaam bij MindUs. En zij is ervaringsdeskundige als het gaat om mentale problemen. Voor meer informatie over het HBSC-onderzoek, zie https://hbscnederland.nl/Meer over MindUs vind je op https://mindus.nl/

Some know him as “the greatest banker of his generation.” He founded four massive financial institutions on three continents. That's why financial journalist and historian Daniel Gross set out to uncover the history behind this 15-year-old prodigy that built an empire based on these timeless principles: a banker must protect his depositors and avoid excessive leverage and risk. Safra posted remarkable returns in an age of busts and bailouts while rarely suffering a credit loss. This banker's journey offers enduring lessons for those seeking to make their way in the twenty-first century. He inspired generations to make the world a better place. Topics Discussed: An Introduction to Daniel Gross (00:00:00) Warren Buffett-level returns (00:10:20) How to succeed in a world of crowded trades (00:24:25) Banking in a time of no deposit insurance or bailouts (00:21:19) How the $10 billion deal at HBSC was done and protected the people (34:56) It's business AND it's personal (00:42:22) Guest Bio: Daniel Gross is one of the most widely-read writers on finance, economics, and business history. Over the past three decades, he has reported from more than thirty countries, covering everything from the dotcom boom to the global financial crisis and the Great Recession of 2008–2009.  Gross worked as a reporter at The New Republic and Bloomberg News, wrote the “Economic View” column in The New York Times, and served as Slate's “Moneybox” columnist. At Newsweek, where he was a columnist and correspondent, he authored seven cover stories. He is a bestselling author of eight books, including Forbes Greatest Business Stories of All Time; Generations of Corning; Dumb Money: How America's Greatest Financial Minds Bankrupted the Nation; and Better, Stronger, Faster: The Myth of American Decline and the Rise of a New Economy. Gross was educated at Cornell University and holds an M.A. in American history from Harvard University. His great-grandparents immigrated to the United States from Aleppo and Damascus.

Integrity 1st Automotive was then born in Texas and Kevin has scaled his business to multiple locations across the Dallas Fort-Worth Metroplex. When he's not working, Kevin enjoys local car rallies (e.g. Lamborghini Club Dallas), traveling, and hunting. Ramy Nazim, Director of Integrity 1st Automotive, graduated from the University of Toronto in 2014 with a HBSc. in Biology & Psychology. While he continues to have an affinity for academia and the life sciences; he found his technical prowess to be of vast usage in the working world. Post-graduation, he went on to work with a local software startup specializing in real estate marketing tools. The startup experience allowed Ramy to engage with virtually every facet and department of the business. Insofar as the automotive repair industry, Ramy works to leverage technological solutions to help increase operational efficiency, develop automations, create event-driven communication flows and more! When he's not working, Ramy enjoys traveling with his wife, cooking with the help of Youtube tutorials, and reading about science and history. Key Talking Points Put it in writing- a discussion on the importance of standard operating procedures, processes, training paradigms in order to scale the business to multi-locations. Put the system into place.  Is it auditable? Having things written is one thing - but how are you tracking compliance? Every process should have a check and balance behind it- quality assurance on whether it is being done. Area Manager (or yourself as an owner) with a preset checklist or leverage technology (software management system). Prioritizing- If you are ambitious on growth, then you've likely got a laundry list of goals and tasks; some are working ON the business and some are working IN the business. Develop a methodology of prioritization- tie your task to a specific KIP, goal or ROI. Eliminates redundancy. Be open to change.   Incentivized Extraordinary Performance- empower and develop your employees. Incentives that promote entrepreneurial thinking work the best. Profit-sharing- share part of profits with managers/lead technicians and share P & L. Being transparent.  Keep your eyes on Customer Churn- We are in the people's business, one of the most important KPI's to focus on whether one shop or multi shops is to know how many customers are churning from your business annually. (SAS- software as a service). Track weekly/monthly/quarterly/annually- how much of car count is return vs net new customers. Touchpoints for every life cycle of a customer's vehicle. Remarket and reengage with customers. Churn is inevitable but control it as much as possible.  Automation- there are only so many hours in the day; with compartmentalized thinking and technology, you can get more out of each day by offloading redundant tasks to technology without one size fits all solutions.  The Customer Experience- we know that it's all about the little things when it comes to curating a memorable experience. That being said, how do you make sure the little things are being followed when you're not there? Your model should work for ANYONE- If you build scalable models, then you can confidently scale to prospective franchisees...

As humans become more connected, technologically advanced, and expand our horizons, novel diseases often emerge. In the previous episode of the Public Health Insight Podcast, we highlighted the factors that contribute to the cyclical emergence of pandemics throughout history.

Ever since humans transitioned from an animal hunting society into agriculture and husbandry, epidemics and pandemics have been close companions in our development right until this day and age. These pandemics ravaged several countries and regions around the globe, partly because there was less knowledge about the causes of these diseases, how they spread, and how to treat them. March 11th, 2021, marks a grim milestone, being exactly one year since COVID-19 was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization. In this episode of the Public Health Insight Podcast, we talk about how and why pandemics, epidemics, endemics, and zoonosis occur.Podcast HostSulaiman Alhalbouni, BMSc, MPHGordon Thane, BMSc, MPH, PMP®Ben Umakanthan, HBSc, MPHWilliam Wang, BA, MPHLinda Holdbrook, BSc, MPHLeshawn Benedict, MPH, MSc, CAPM®References for Our Discussion Geo History: Major epidemics and pandemics Visual Capitalist: Visualizing the History of Pandemics Subscribe to the NewsletterPublic Health Insight is launching a weekly newsletter to deliver inspiring, insightful, and relevant public health information right to your inbox.

Hello and welcome to the Alcohol Alert, brought to you by The Institute of Alcohol Studies. In this edition:Chancellor announces a blanket freeze on alcohol duties for a second consecutive year in the spring Budget 🎵 Podcast feature 🎵Irish data highlights ways in which the pandemic has slowed progress in tackling alcohol misuseResearch finds association between alcohol-related violence and deprivation, amplified by the availability of alcohol 🎵 Podcast feature 🎵Doctors in Scotland urge ministers to break sponsorship link between alcohol and sportWe hope you enjoy our roundup of stories below: please feel free to share. Thank you.Budget 2021: Duties for alcohol kept on ice🎵 Podcast feature 🎵All alcohol duties were frozen for the second year in a row in the 2021 Budget, marking the eighth year out of the last nine that alcohol duties have failed to keep up with inflation (03 Mar).According to the Office for Budget Responsibility’s costings, the freeze in alcohol duties – a cut, in real terms – are estimated to cost roughly £1·7bn to the year 2025/26.Chancellor of the Exchequer Rishi Sunak's statement came ahead of the government's much anticipated response to the alcohol duty review consultation held late last year.Responding to the announcement, IAS Chief Executive Katherine Severi said:It is disappointing that the Chancellor has chosen to freeze alcohol duty today, which represents a cut in real terms. This will do nothing to help the thousands of families across the country whose lives are blighted by alcohol, an issue which has become even more acute during the pandemic.We need to rethink how alcohol is taxed to ensure public health is always given priority over alcohol industry profits. Raising alcohol duty can generate vital public funds to support the NHS and social care services and the public are largely supportive of this policy.The ongoing alcohol duty review is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to improve a broken system which promotes cheap, strong alcohol that wrecks lives and burdens our NHS and public services. We will continue to work with government to propose a fairer system that produces net gains for society, not just supermarket profits.A good pandemic for HM Treasury?One reason for Rishi Sunak’s decision to freeze all alcohol duties for another year may lie in the increased revenue from heavier drinking during the COVID-19 pandemic. According to the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR), HM Treasury stand to rake in £800 million more than predicted for the financial year 2020/21. This makes alcohol duties ‘one of the few tax streams that has outperformed our pre-virus forecast’, as ‘higher sales in supermarkets and other shops have more than offset the loss in receipts from the closures of pubs and restaurants for large parts of the year’.In an article for Alcohol Change UK, alcohol policy modeller Colin Angus suggested that ‘persistently freezing duties changes public perception, encouraging the idea that duty freezes for alcohol are the norm, making it politically more difficult for the Chancellor to increase duties in line with inflation in future years’. You can hear Colin Angus describe this issue in more detail on the podcast.Despite a real terms cut in alcohol duties, some sectors of the industry were left dissatisfied by the Budget, with Society of Independent Brewers chief executive James Calder claiming that it ‘does nothing for independent breweries’ and others believing that approach to beer duty ‘could have been bolder’ (Morning Advertiser, 05 Mar).Yet, this has still not stopped the ‘deluge’ of bookings made for when pubs reopen for outdoor service from 21 April (BBC News Business, 05 Mar), indicating that not only does a pent-up demand exist regardless of the Chancellor’s proclamations on duties, but also that businesses in the hospitality sector could have benefitted from fiscal measures more closely linked to their day-to-day costs, such as rents and business rates.The Budget also neglected to mention any policies to deal with the looming public health crisis in alcohol-related morbidity, as was warned about days before (British Medical Journal, 01 Mar):We are already at crisis point, with the most recent Global Drugs Survey revealing that the UK rate of hospital admissions because of alcohol was higher than among users of any other drug cited in the report apart from heroin and with more than 5% of people under 25 in the UK reporting having sought hospital treatment after getting drunk.Subsequently, a host of public health experts, led by the Alcohol Health Alliance, expressed their disappointment at the duty freeze in the Times (09 Mar). But they did reserve hope for the outcome of a government review to be conducted later this year:… providing an opportunity to overhaul an inconsistent system causing alcohol harm. As a result of the present system it is possible to drink the low-risk weekly guideline of 14 units for just £2·68 in England — about the price of a high-street cup of coffee. This is causing immeasurable damage.The government must create a scaled alcohol duty structure that ensures the strongest products are taxed the most to encourage drinkers to move away from purchasing the most dangerous drinks. With 80 people across the UK dying from an alcohol-related cause every day, we need urgent action to tackle this crisis.Ireland – pandemic slows progress on alcohol misuseNew research findings have shown that while there have been declines in some sections of society regarding Irish drinking habits, the onset of COVID-19 has threatened to reverse them in others.A report titled Health Behaviours, Health Outcomes and Contextual Factors between 1998-2018 found that rates of alcohol use among school-aged children ‘significantly decreased since 1998’ (Irish Times, 08 Mar).Led by senior researcher Aoife Gavin in collaboration with the HBSC research team at the Health Promotion Research Centre in NUI Galway, the study comprised of a sample of 15,557 pupils aged 10 to 17 years from 255 primary and post-primary schools across Ireland, and found a 14 percentage point drop in respondents reporting having ever been drunk over the 20-year period (33% in 1998 vs 19% in 2018).However, the pandemic has led to the dominance of home drinking, which has in turn exacerbated the problem of alcohol’s accessibility to underage drinkers. Reports that on-demand alcohol delivery ‘skyrocketed’ during lockdown ‘with no checks’ on serving children caused Teachtaí Dála (TDs) to call on Justice Minister Helen McEntee to introduce restrictions on delivery services (Irish Sun, 14 Mar).Overall alcohol tax receipts data in Ireland showed a 2·4% decline, suggesting a drop in annual consumption of 6% in 2020, meaning that the country’s public finances ‘experienced little impact’ of the pandemic (Irish Times, 11 Mar). And within the alcohol category, there were significant fluctuations among particular beverages: while excise receipts from beer sales fell 17%, and 11% for cider, wine consumption rose 12% in 2020 ‘even though many restaurants where it would frequently be consumed were closed for a considerable portion of the year’, indicating a sharp year-on-year increase in the number of people drinking wine at home. Alcohol Action Ireland (AAI) expressed their disappointment with the figures, with head of communications and advocacy Eunan McKinney remarking that they highlight ‘the extraordinary shift that has taken place among Ireland’s drinking population and the ocean of alcohol that has poured into the nation’s homes.’Feighan: Ireland to implement MUP with or without the northGiven the urgency of the problem identified by AAI, the Irish government is considering implementing minimum unit pricing, under the 2018 Public Health (Alcohol) Act, asynchronously from its neighbour, Northern Ireland. Frank Feighan, the junior minister for public health, explained that the Oireachtas could ‘not wait any longer for Northern Ireland’ to protect problem drinkers, after their health minister, Robin Swann, elected to defer minimum unit pricing until after the next Stormont assembly elections in May 2022 (The Times (paywalled), 15 Mar).Swann told the assembly: ‘I do not think that we have the scope in [the current assembly term], by way of capacity in my department or the time that is necessary to bring it forward in a meaningful way, but I intend to put it to consultation so that the preparatory work is done for whomever comes into this role in the next mandate.’In response to this development, Feighan said: ‘I will be recommending to government that we have to move. I have talked to minister [for health] Donnelly and I understand he has spoken with the Taoiseach, and I have talked to the Tánaiste. I think it will be discussed in the coming weeks as to what the best way forward would be, and that will be a matter for cabinet. Unfortunately, there may be unintended consequences around excise duties… it would have been ideal to move with Northern Ireland but we cannot wait any longer. I would like to have a short consultation with stakeholders like publicans and off-licences, and then to move with the legislation we have.’AAI said it recognised some consultation may be required to refine the logistics and timing of the measures ‘but we trust that the Taoiseach, Tánaiste and the leader of the Green Party will expedite matters over the coming weeks and that operation will commence in early autumn’.Alcohol-related violence and deprivation🎵 Podcast feature 🎵This week, Lucy Bryant and Dr Carly Lightowlers presented their research on alcohol-related violence and deprivation to an audience at the Scottish Health Action on Alcohol Problems (SHAAP) and Scottish Alcohol Research Network (SARN) Alcohol Occasionals sessions. Between them, the researchers shared findings suggesting that those in the lowest socioeconomic groups experience disproportionate rates of alcohol-related violence and that increases in alcohol availability and deprivation, when seen together, increase the rates of such violence to a greater degree than when either of these factors appears alone.You can listen to Dr Lightowlers explain the research in more detail in our podcast, and you can also watch the presentation in full on SHAAP’s website.In other researchAlcohol pricing policies such as duty increases and minimum unit pricing appear to target men’s drinking habits more effectively than women’s, according to a new study published in Addiction (02 Mar).Researchers found that each of the three policies modelled – a 10% duty increase, and minimum unit prices (MUP) of £0·50 and £0·70 per UK unit – would lead to larger estimated reductions in consumption and hospital admission rates among men than women. The authors also showed how this is driven by gender differences in alcohol consumption, purchasing patterns and harm among adult drinkers in England, leading women’s spending to increase more than men’s. At full effect – that is, once consumption changes have worked their way through to health outcomes - a £0·50 MUP is expected to lead to a sevenfold larger reduction in consumption and a three times larger reduction in hospital admissions for men compared to women.The level and frequency of alcohol consumption rose among drinkers in the UK during lockdown, according to University College London researchers published in the Drug and Alcohol Review journal (03 Mar). Surveying a self-selected sample of nearly 3,000 participants between 30 April and 14 June 2020, they found that 30% of participants reported drinking more frequently in lockdown, with 16% reporting drinking more units per drinking occasion and 14% reporting more frequent heavy episodic drinking. They also found that ‘deterioration in psychological wellbeing was consistently associated with increased frequency of drinking’.The first UK COVID-19 lockdown saw a “rapid and sustained” fall in violence outside the home in the Welsh capital city, a new study led by Cardiff University has shown (Journal of the American Medical Association, 05 Mar). A research team from Cardiff University’s Crime and Security Research Institute (CSRI) and the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention studied data from Cardiff’s sole emergency department (ED) from March to June 2020, comparing it to weekly data from January 2019 onwards, and found almost 60% fewer attendances per week for violent injury outside the home in the first lockdown. Lead author professor Jonathan Shepherd, from the CSRI, said: ‘This sudden fall in violent injury is the largest any of us has ever seen. It’s likely to reflect closure of city centre pubs and clubs in and around which most violence takes place, and widespread compliance with lockdown restrictions.’ Regarding violence in the home, no significant change was found in any category, which professor Shepherd said was ‘reassuring’. The amount of alcohol consumed during a given drinking occasion is strongly associated with the duration of the occasion combined with the beverage type and serving size, according to a study reported in Alcoholism: Clinical & Experimental Research (05 Mar). Researchers from the University of Sheffield, UK, analysed data from over 18,000 adult drinkers in Great Britain who wrote a seven-day retrospective drinking diary and between them recorded the characteristics of over 46,000 drinking occasions, with the aim of identifying which features – and combinations of features – are most predictive of the units of alcohol consumed during drinking occasions in Great Britain.They found that longer occasion duration, drinking spirits as doubles, and drinking wine were the strongest predictors of heavy alcohol consumption, and that the strongest predictors of longer drinking occasions were drinking in both on-trade venues (eg pubs) and off-trade (eg at home), starting earlier in the day, and drinking with friends.A review of the latest evidence and research on liver disease, authored by over 30 leading hepatology consultants and senior figures from the Foundation for Liver Research, British Liver Trust and Public Health England, has found that almost a quarter of patients (24%) admitted to hospital with liver disease die within 60 days (The Lancet, 11 Mar). These patients have not been previously diagnosed and are admitted as an emergency. The report also observes that people with advanced liver disease admitted to hospital as an emergency, are seven to eight times more likely to die than those admitted with a stroke or heart attack.Updated estimates of population level alcohol consumption undertaken in collaboration with the University of Glasgow, have found an estimated net effect of minimum unit pricing (MUP) of -3·5% in off-trade alcohol sales per adult in the year following its implementation in Scotland in 2018 (Public Health Scotland, 16 Mar).Whilst slightly lower than previously reported, both the estimated net effect of MUP and the observed impact of MUP on different drink categories are comparable with the original findings, and the overall estimate for Scotland in 2019 remains at 9·9 litres of pure alcohol per adult, equivalent to 19·1 units of alcohol per adult per week and the lowest level of pure alcohol sold in Scotland since 1994.Sainsbury’s are the most likely of the major supermarkets to push online shoppers in Scotland towards alcohol, according to campaign group Obesity Action Scotland (17 Mar). Their report found that overall, customers are bombarded by around 500 promotions during the average online grocery shop, with around a tenth (11%) of all promotions for alcohol. Sainsbury’s was the worst offender, hosting the most alcohol promotions as a proportion of all food and drink promotions for both healthy (basket 1) and standard (basket 2) shopping trips.Doctors urge ministers to break sponsorship between alcohol and sport in ScotlandDoctors have renewed calls for Scottish ministers to break links between alcohol and sport with a clampdown on lucrative sponsorship deals, after an alcohol producer declared its support for Scotland’s national football team (The Times, paywalled, 28 Mar).Alcohol policy campaigners Scottish Health Action on Alcohol Problems (SHAAP) said children were especially susceptible to advertising and called for robust restrictions to be considered by the next Scottish government after May’s Holyrood elections.Recent events have exposed a sharp divide between sporting associations that embrace the backing of alcohol producers and those who spurn it: earlier in the month (22 Mar) Tennent’s Lager tweeted its continuing support for Scotland’s national football teams. This stands in sharp contrast to Scottish Women’s Football, who struck up a sponsorship agreement with Scottish Health Action on Alcohol Problems (SHAAP) in March 2019.‘It’s time for others to follow their lead and protect their fans and players,’ said SHAAP interim director, Lindsay Paterson. ‘Alcohol companies have large sums available for sponsorship and it is understandable but disappointing that Scotland’s national teams have accepted this sponsorship.’In response, the Scottish FA said that Tennent’s was the ‘original supporter’ of Scottish football and had been an integral part of the game dating back to 1974. ‘Over the years they have made a positive impact at all levels of the sport, and we look forward to building on that together in the years to come,’ they said in a statement.The UK Alcohol Alert (incorporating Alliance News) is designed and produced by The Institute of Alcohol Studies.

A., Rosano, C., Aizenstein, H. J., Mettenburg, J., Novelli, E. M., Ibrahim, T. S. Abstract: Sickle cell disease (SCD) is an inherited hemoglobinopathy that causes organ dysfunction, including cerebral vasculopathy and neurological complications. Hippocampal segmentation with newer and advanced 7 Tesla (7T) MRI protocols has revealed atrophy in specific subregions in other neurodegenerative and neuroinflammatory diseases, however, there is limited evidence of hippocampal involvement in SCD. Thus, we explored whether SCD may be also associated with abnormalities in hippocampal subregions. We conducted 7T MRI imaging in individuals with SCD, including the HbSS, HbSC and HbS/beta thalassemia genotypes (n=37), and healthy race and age-matched controls (n=40), using a customized head coil. Both T1 and T2 weighted images were used for automatic segmentation of the hippocampus subfields. Individuals with SCD had significantly smaller volume of the Dentate Gyrus and Cornu Ammonis (CA) 2 and 3 as compared to the control group. Other hippocampal subregions also showed a trend towards smaller volumes in the SCD group. These findings support previous reports of reduced volume in the temporal lobe in SCD patients. Further studies are necessary to investigate the mechanisms that lead to structural changes in the hippocampus subfields and their relationship with cognitive performance in SCD patients.

Today, we speak with Cheryl Razzell, director of platform and Live Ops, at Polystream who has a particularly interesting narrative to share in what remains nevertheless a renaissance era in computing. Indeed, the assumption we can make is open source tools, platforms and, especially, talent will underpin how data is processed and managed as we win this war against the pandemic. As the ravages of COVID-19 continue to take their toll in London, where she is based, and worldwide, Razzell speaks of women in tech, and her career path from tech support to working at Apple, Microsoft, HBSC, DevOps and continuing her high-level IT career tech at Polystream, a 3D content platform provider. As mentioned above, regardless of whatever happens during the next few weeks and months, open-source development and tools will continue to serve as the foundation for what is yet to come. And during what will be a recovery eventually, organizations that thrive in the future will only do so by continuing to operate as software companies. But, this is just the context — lest we forget — that can often obscure how open source development and tools are only as good as the talents of the people constituting the DevOps teams that make the magic happen.

American Indian Airwaves Presents:“Incendiary Homelands: Indigenous Peoples of the “Amazon Forest” in Peril and the National Parks Service Potentially Places Indigenous Sacred Sites At-Risk for Future Development” Part 1:___________________________________ Leila Salazar-Lopez, Executive Director, Amazon Watch (https://amazonwatch.org/), joins for the first segment of today's special program to provide us a recent on update on the Amazon fires – particularly in Brazil, the lack of fire containment in Brazil, the frequency and spreading of the fires, the impact the fires are having on Indigenous peoples and communities immediately and in the future with the realization that some Indigenous traditional homelands destroyed will result in genocide(s). Also, Leila Salazar-Lopez discusses: how Brazil's President Bolsonaro is advocating for the destruction of Amazon Rainforest and as a former military personal once called for the extermination of Indigenous peoples; how the Amazon fires were started by non-Indigenous peoples for business and corporate interest and as a pretext for the usurpation of Indigenous people lands; who are the transnational corporations benefiting and financing the destruction of the Amazon Rainforest; “Settler Colonialism;” Amazon Watch working with Indigenous organizations in Brazil and the Global Day of Action happening this September 15th, 2019 at Brazilian embassies and consultants, financial backers headquarters such as BlackRock – one of the largest asset managers and financiers of Amazon Rainforest destruction and Indigenous peoples-, Chase, HBSC; and other transnational corporate benefactors. For more information on the Global Day of Action, visit: https://www.amazonwatch.org. For general background information: https://amazonwatch.org/assets/files/2019-complicity-in-destruction-2.pdf and https://amazonwatch.org/assets/files/2019-summer-investor-eye-on-the-amazon.pdf. The Amazon Forest region is home to approximately one million indigenous peoples with over five hundred representative cultures and communities throughout nine Amazon countries. In addition, the Amazon Rainforest has more than half of the world's relatives and species of plants and animals live in the region. Many unique animals are found nowhere else on Mother Earth. Part 2:___________________________________ Wesley Furlong, Staff Attorney, Native American Rights Fund (NARF) (https://www.narf.org/) joins us for the second part of today's program to discuss: the recent proposed changes by the United States National Park Service (NPS) to the National Registry of Historic Places (NRHP); how these changes, if implemented, could jeopardize and place at-risk for destruction and development purposes, over 95,000 historically and culturally significant places are listed on the NRHP – including a little under one hundred Indigenous sacred sites; and how the proposed changes will make it more difficult to place historically and culturally significant sites onto the NRHP. NRHP status is one federal protective layer but is not a permanent protective guarantee. The newly proposed changes would make it easier for government agencies to open up certain lands to development.

Der FC Augsburg kann nach dem furiosen Sieg in Mainz nicht nachlegen. Zwar macht er gegen die Hertha eigentlich ein gutes Spiel, bringt den Ball aber zu selten ins Netz. Dies wurde dann auch noch in aller letzter Minute von der Hertha bestraft und so trennten sich beide Mannschaften wieder unentschieden. Stephan und Marc analysieren das Spiel und geben einen Ausblick auf die Zukunft.
