It's Summer…and its getting HOT in here! Although the effect of heatwaves in pregnancy has been studied various times, the data remains limited because these studies are observational, with very heterogenous populations, so its hard to prove causation between heat exposure and adverse outcomes. Nonetheless, these associations are indeed concerning. YES…just to be clear, there are past studies that have observed associations between heatwaves and PTB, low birthweight, and in some studies…stillbirth. The most recent review on this was published just last year (June 2023) in the J Mother Child, and the title was “A Comprehensive Review on Hot Ambient Temperature and its Impacts on Adverse Pregnancy Outcomes”. This review of 23 articles did again find an association between heat stress and adverse pregnancy outcomes. PLUS, a new publication released July 3, 2024, now raises new concerns about ambient heat and in-utero childhood cancer programming! That article, from Lancet Planetary Health, is the focus of this episode. BUT WAIT there's more! We will also look at the relationship between ambient heat and PTB and oligohydramnios. So, grab your ice cooled glass of water and Let's look at the evidence.

On February 6, 2024, a new publication in the Lancet Planetary Health received national and international headlines. This study, funded through the NIH, revealed a striking association between certain chemicals in our environment and preterm birth. But is this data really new? We have known that certain chemical components, called phthalates, have a strong association with preterm birth for over 10 years now. Nonetheless, it is always a good reminder to reduce or avoid exposures to potentially dangerous substances which are ubiquitous in today's culture. What exactly are phthalates? What did this new data reveal? In this episode, we will dive into the data and put things into proper perspective. PLUS, at the end of the episode, I'll review 10 common-sense things that we can all do daily to try to reduce our exposure to these“forever chemicals”.

Episode 58:  In this episode, host Angie Gust talks about resveratrol.  Resveratrol is a phenolic compound that plants produce in response to injury, infection, fungal attack, or ultraviolet radiation. How interesting is that? The very compounds that protect plants can also protect you.  It was first  This natural polyphenol has been detected in more than 70 plant species, and is also found in discrete amounts in red wines and various human foods. Resveratrol has been linked to lowering cancer risk. This is because resveratrol has anti-tumor properties, and it's able to inhibit cancer formation at all stages of development: initiation, promotion, and progression. It may also reduce the risk of inflammation, blood clotting, and heart disease. Turning to the environment, did you hear about the cool pilot project happening in Detroit?  It is a pilot program to install the nation's first wireless-charging public roadway for electric vehicles beneath a street. Copper inductive charging coils allow vehicles equipped with receivers to charge up their batteries while driving, idling or parking above the coils. Let's be optimistic for more innovations like this, that moves us away from fossil fuels. References Cardenas, J. Nov 29, 2023. Zahra Biabani wants Gen Z to feel hopeful about the future.

What Causes Red Wine Headaches? It May Be QuercetinIt's a common experience: After a glass or two of red wine, relaxation can turn into a pounding headache. This isn't the same thing as a hangover, as the dreaded red wine headache kicks in between 30 minutes and three hours after imbibing.For years, there have been different theories about what causes this phenomenon. But neither sulfites or tannins have been proven to be the culprit. A new theory published in the journal Scientific Reports posits that quercetin, an antioxidant in grape skins, could create a toxic byproduct that leads to headaches.Dr. Morris Levin is one of the authors on this paper. He's the director of the Headache Center at the University of California San Francisco Medical Center, and has spent his career treating patients for migraines and other headache experiences. But Levin says there's not nearly enough funding for headache research as a whole, which leaves a lot of unanswered questions about the origins and meanings of this common ailment.Levin joins guest host Flora Lichtman to discuss red wine headaches, as well as the remaining mysteries of headaches.Worsening Wildfires Are Undoing Air Quality Progress In The USThe Western US has seen both more frequent and more intense wildfires over the past couple decades, leading to lower air quality and increased deaths in the region between 2000 and 2020, according to a new study published in The Lancet Planetary Health journal. While the EPA has made progress in improving air quality in the country, those gains are being undone by smoke from wildfires.The study looked at particulate matter called PM2.5 and a toxic component of it, black carbon. The researchers found that after years of trending downward nationally, the concentration of PM2.5–and the proportion of black carbon within it–began to increase in the West in 2010. This shift was linked to an increase of 670 premature deaths per year in the region.Joining Ira to talk about this and other science news of the week is Rachel Feltman, host of the podcast The Weirdest Thing I Learned This Week. They also discuss a surprise found in the oldest known mosquito fossil, why a national plastic bag recycling program was shut down, and why dwarf planet Eris' surface is a little squishy.  Transcripts for each segment will be available the week after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.

Ce n'est pas la première fois que l'on aborde ce sujet dans ce podcast, mais il semble que le constat se confirme : Paris est l'une des villes les moins préparées à la hausse des températures, et qui serait aussi la ville la plus mortelle par temps de canicule. Mais alors, qui affirme cela ? Il s'agit d'un groupe de chercheurs anglais étudiant les meilleures façons pour se préparer aux risques climatiques.Ces derniers ont analysé un ensemble de données portant sur 854 villes européennes entre le 1er janvier 2000 et le 31 décembre 2019, à savoir des relevés météo, des chiffres démographiques, les types d'infrastructures présentes, mais aussi des facteurs socioéconomiques, topographiques, et environnementaux. À noter que ces données sont plutôt fiables puisqu'elles proviennent à la fois d'Eurostat, du MCC (Multi-city Collaborative Research Network), du réseau de satellites de la Nasa Moderate-Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer, et de l'organisme de surveillance du climat Européen Copernicus. Grâce à tous ces outils, les chercheurs ont pu estimer les risques des températures extrêmes en fonction de la position géographique des Européens. Objectif : avoir une idée précise des villes où les extrêmes de températures (chauds ou froids) ont la plus grande incidence sur la santé et la mortalité des habitants. Et les résultats sont édifiants : l'Europe de l'Ouest, qui se réchauffe déjà trois à quatre fois plus vite que le reste du monde, est également celle qui subit la plus grande surmortalité liée à la chaleur et au froid. Et selon l'étude publiée dans The Lancet Planetary Health, Paris et Londres sont les deux grandes villes européennes les plus à risque. Paris est la ville où le risque de mourir de chaleur est le plus grand, et Londres est la ville où le risque de mourir de froid est le plus fort !Mais pourquoi Paris arrive-t-elle en haut de ce triste classement ? Et bien à cause des vulnérabilités de sa population, mais surtout de son urbanisation complètement inadaptée à la chaleur. Paris est l'une des villes les plus exposées au phénomène d'îlot de chaleur urbain, avec des écarts jusqu'à 10° en comparaison avec les zones rurales. Plus précisément, ce sont les 2e et 9e arrondissements qui présenteraient le plus haut degré d'inconfort en cas de canicule en raison de son sol imperméable omniprésent et du manque de végétaux. Le froid reste tout de même plus mortel que la chaleur en Europe avec plus de 203 000 décès sur la période étudiée, contre 20 000 pour la chaleur. Hébergé par Acast.

Grâce à tous ces outils, les chercheurs ont pu estimer les risques des températures extrêmes en fonction de la position géographique des Européens.  Objectif : avoir une idée précise des villes où les extrêmes de températures (chauds ou froids) ont la plus grande incidence sur la santé et la mortalité des habitants. Et les résultats sont édifiants : l'Europe de l'Ouest, qui se réchauffe déjà trois à quatre fois plus vite que le reste du monde, est également celle qui subit la plus grande surmortalité liée à la chaleur et au froid. Et selon l'étude publiée dans The Lancet Planetary Health, Paris et Londres sont les deux grandes villes européennes les plus à risque. Paris est la ville où le risque de mourir de chaleur est le plus grand, et Londres est la ville où le risque de mourir de froid est le plus fort ! Mais pourquoi Paris arrive-t-elle en haut de ce triste classement ? Et bien à cause des vulnérabilités de sa population, mais surtout de son urbanisation complètement inadaptée à la chaleur. Paris est l'une des villes les plus exposées au phénomène d'îlot de chaleur urbain, avec des écarts jusqu'à 10° en comparaison avec les zones rurales. Plus précisément, ce sont les 2e et 9e arrondissements qui présenteraient le plus haut degré d'inconfort en cas de canicule en raison de son sol imperméable omniprésent et du manque de végétaux. Le froid reste tout de même plus mortel que la chaleur en Europe avec plus de 203 000 décès sur la période étudiée, contre 20 000 pour la chaleur. Learn more about your ad choices.

Which papers are telling the truth? And which are giving inches to climate skeptics?In this episode, Lucy McAllister, Assistant Professor in Environmental Studies at Denison University, explains how journalism's obsession with "balance" causes bias in climate reporting. She walks us through new research which shows how climate coverage accuracy has improved since the initial findings in 2004, but that there is still a significant divide between left-leaning and right-wing papers, specifically those owned by Rupert Murdoch.She also reveals how the tactics of muddling the discourse has become more sophisticated, with column inches now being given to climate skeptics or discourses of delays. Combatting this is critical, Lucy says, pointing to solutions journalism as critical in the fight to "reframe" narratives to empower communities around the world.“We're seeing media more accurately representing the science on climate change—climate change is happening, it's caused by humans. Now we're seeing in terms of climate action that climate skeptics, deniers, or discourses of delay, are being given more space in the news article, more power than like a relevant climate expert or policymaker.“So they're getting the science right but then when they're talking about the actual solution and action moving forward, we're still seeing this problematic balance issue where one side is being favored.”Referenced Papers/Articles:* Balance as Bias: global warming and the US prestige press* Balance as bias, resolute on the retreat?

Prior to this position, she worked at the Technical University of Munich, Babson College, and Boston College. Lucy's interdisciplinary research focuses on the framing of overlapping global environmental injustices—climate change and hazardous waste—and the disproportionate impact on minorities, women, children, future generations, and other stigmatized groups. Broadly, her research explores how we communicate and perceive social harms and environmental injustices, and therefore informs work on inclusive, interdisciplinary solutions. She has published research in several outlets, such as Environmental Research Letters, The Lancet, The Lancet Planetary Health, Health and Human Rights, Science and Engineering Ethics, and the Sociology of Development.

Dans le but de mieux se préparer aux risques climatiques actuels et futurs, une équipe de chercheurs anglais a étudié une base de données portant sur 854 villes européennes, entre le 1er janvier 2000 et le 31 décembre 2019. Cette base de données comprenait des relevés météo, des chiffres démographiques sur les adultes de plus de 20 ans, des informations sur le type d'infrastructures présentes, ainsi que des facteurs socio-économiques, topographiques et environnementaux. Ces données proviennent de différentes sources, telles qu'Eurostat, le MCC (Multi-city Collaborative Research Network) un outil collaboratif international, le réseau de satellites de la Nasa et l'organisme de surveillance du climat en Europe Copernicus. Au final, les chercheurs ont pu estimer les risques liés aux températures extrêmes en fonction de la position géographique des Européens. L'objectif de cette étude était d'avoir une idée précise des villes où les extrêmes de températures (chauds ou froids) peuvent avoir la plus grande incidence sur la santé et la mortalité de ses habitants. Les résultats sont assez impressionnants : l'Europe de l'Ouest, étant une région qui se réchauffe déjà trois à quatre fois plus vite que le reste du monde, est également celle qui subit la plus grande surmortalité liée à la chaleur et au froid. Selon l'étude publiée dans The Lancet Planetary Health, Paris et Londres sont les deux grandes villes européennes les plus à risque : Paris étant celle où le risque de mourir de chaleur est le plus grand, et Londres est la ville où le risque de mourir de froid est le plus fort ! Mais pourquoi Paris arrive-t-elle en haut du classement des villes d'Europe où la chaleur est la plus dangereuse, devançant les villes espagnoles et italiennes où les températures peuvent monter plus haut ? Cette situation s'explique par les vulnérabilités de sa population, mais surtout de son urbanisation complètement inadaptée à la chaleur. En effet, Paris est l'une des villes les plus exposées au phénomène d'îlot de chaleur urbain. Selon l'Institut Paris Région que je cite « on peut observer des écarts importants de température entre Paris et les zones rurales (jusqu'à 10 °C lors de la canicule exceptionnelle de 2003) ». Les 2e et 9e arrondissements sont ceux présentant le plus haut degré d'inconfort en cas de canicule, d'après le site Construction21, en raison de la densité de sol imperméable et de bâti, mais aussi à cause du manque de végétaux.

Nella mattinata di venerdì 14 ottobre, ai microfoni del Buena Onda con Laura Basile, Fabrizio Papitto di LaSvolta.it, ha raccontato due notizie, una negativa e una positiva, riguardanti l'inquinamento atmosferico. Partendo dalla notizia negativa, ha detto: «Sono state trovate tracce di nano particelle tossiche legate all'inquinamento atmosferico negli organi di sviluppo dei feti, quindi stiamo parlando di polmoni, fegato e cervello dei bambini non ancora nati». Questa ricerca è stata condotta da un team di scienziati internazionali, in Belgio e Scozia, su un campione di madri non fumatrici, e pubblicata sul Lancet Planetary Health.

Flexitarianismo, prática alimentar que está impactando a indústria e as finanças de muita gente. Um estudo recente publicado na Lancet Planetary Health, revista médica internacional independente, demonstra que uma dieta vegetariana, vegana ou semivegetariana pode ser até 30% mais barata, em países desenvolvidos. Isso tem chamado a atenção da indústria e atraído a curiosidade de muitas pessoas provocando mudanças no consumo de alimentos. De acordo com dados de uma pesquisa realizada em 2020 pelo ibope, 45% dos entrevistados nunca experimentaram produtos à base de proteína vegetal, mas 42% se interessam em experimentar. E para falar sobre esse assunto recebemos a nutricionista do Centro Médico Cardio Aziz, Regina Pereira, para falar sobre esse assunto. Anunciamos também as nossas novas colunistas e parcerias, Juliana Medeiros e Dayana Patrocínio, no giro de notícias.

¿Sabías qué patógenos super resistentes pueden estar contaminando los alimentos que nos comemos? Hoy en día, la resistencia de patógenos a antibióticos es uno de los problemas más importantes de salud pública a nivel mundial, ya que esto complica el uso y eficiencia de los antibióticos en tratamientos para combatir las enfermedades que estos generan.

James Crooks, Ph.D., an environmental epidemiologist with National Jewish Health's Division of Biostatistics and Bioinformatics in Denver explains his research on  the impact of wildfire smoke on the ozone concentrations at ground level in Colorado. Elevated ozone levels contribute to rising incidence of asthma and diabetes, among other conditions. Dr. Crooks found that while ozone increased only one percent, the impacts are widely felt, especially in Hispanic and historically underserved communities. The advent of annual smoke seasons and rising levels of air pollution globally make this an important conversation. He shares his advice on how to protect family members from air pollution and the prospects for life in a warmer world, when smoke season will be common in many regions.Smoke season isn't just unpleasant, it's killing too many of us. According to a recent study published in the journal The Lancet Planetary Health, air pollution was directly responsible for the death of 4.5 million people around the world in 2019. A McGill University study released in early May reported that people who lived within 31 miles (50 km) of a wildfire over a 10-year period were found to have a 10% higher incidence of brain tumors and 4.9% more lung cancers.

Theo một nghiên cứu công bố trên The Lancet Planetary Health vào đầu tháng 5/2022, ô nhiễm không khí, nước và đất là nguyên nhân gây ra cái chết của nhiều người hơn là các bệnh như sida, ho gà và sốt rét, khủng bố và chiến tranh, đặc biệt là ở những nước đang phát triển. Khoảng 9 triệu người chết mỗi năm vì ô nhiễm trên toàn thế giới, tức là cứ 6 ca tử vong thì có một ca liên quan đến ô nhiễm môi trường, tương đương với 16 % số ca tử vong toàn cầu. Ô nhiễm được xem là “mối đe dọa hiện hữu đối với sức khoẻ con người và hành tinh”. Số người chết vì ô nhiễm cao gấp 3 lần so với bệnh si đa, lao, sốt rét, ma tuý, chiến tranh và khủng bố. Ấn Độ và Trung Quốc dẫn đầu thế giới về số ca tử vong do ô nhiễm, lần lượt là gần 2,4 triệu và gần 2,2 triệu ca tử vong mỗi năm. (Nhưng không thể không xét đến việc hai quốc gia này có dân số lớn nhất thế giới.)  Các con số trên được đưa ra dựa trên phân tích của khoảng 7000 nhà nghiên cứu về môi trường, qua số liệu của Chương trình Nghiên cứu Quốc tế về Dịch bệnh và viện nghiên cứu Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (Mỹ), được thực hiện bởi Uỷ ban ô nhiễm và sức khoẻ của tạp chí y khoa The Lancet. Những số liệu mới nhất có được từ năm 2019.   Theo các nghiên cứu dịch tễ học, bệnh tim, đột quỵ, ung thư phổi và bệnh tiểu đường, thường tương quan chặt chẽ với ô nhiễm. Các nhà nghiên cứu xem xét số ca tử vong theo nguyên nhân, và tiếp xúc với ô nhiễm từ các yếu tố khác nhau. Cũng giống như cách mà các nhà khoa học tính toán số ca tử vong vì thuốc lá, do mối liên hệ giữa thuốc lá và bệnh tim và bệnh ung thư.   Nguyên nhân ô nhiễm không được xác nhận trên giấy chứng tử   Đồng tác giả của báo cáo, kiêm giám đốc của Liên Minh Toàn Cầu về sức khoẻ và ô nhiễm (The Global Alliance on Health and Pollution), bà Rachael Kupka cho biết, rất cần thiết để mọi người có thể nhận thức được rằng ô nhiễm chính là nguyên nhân chính gây ra các vấn đề về sức khoẻ mãn tính. “Vấn đề này sẽ được quan tâm nhiều hơn nếu tất cả các nguy cơ ô nhiễm được ghi trên giấy chứng tử”. Bà Kupka cho biết thêm : “Tác động của các loại bệnh tật có thể được đánh giá rõ ràng dựa trên nguyên nhân tử vong. Chúng ta có thể có nhiều nguyên nhân khác nhau, ví dụ như ung thư, đột quỵ, hoặc các loại bệnh khác. Ô nhiễm là một yếu tố rủi ro, gây ra cái chết cũng như nhiều yếu tố khác. Khi chúng ta muốn phân tích loại ô nhiễm nào dẫn đến ca tử vong nào đó, thông thường được xét vào loại bệnh không lây nhiễm, và nguyên nhân cái chết không được ghi rõ ràng trên giấy chứng tử. Do vậy chúng ta sẽ không bao giờ thấy rằng ô nhiễm là nguyên nhân gây ra cái chết.”  Ô nhiễm không khí là nghiêm trọng nhất  Theo các nhà nghiên cứu, ô nhiễm không khí được đo bởi nồng độ bụi mịn, lưu huỳnh, và nitơ oxít. Ô nhiễm nước ngọt và đại dương bởi các loại chất thải như thuỷ ngân, ni tơ(nitrogen), phốt pho (phosphore), nhựa (plastic) và dầu. Ô nhiễm đất bị gây ra bởi chì, thuỷ ngân, thuốc trừ sâu, hoá chất công nghiệp, chất thải điện tử và chất thải phóng xạ.   Ô nhiễm không khí (cả ngoài trời và bên trong) là yếu tố rủi ro đầu tiên, chiếm khoảng 75% số ca tử vong. Con số này gia tăng, đồng nghĩa với việc lượng khí thải độc hại từ các phương tiện giao thông và việc tạo ra năng lượng ngày càng tăng.  Điều đáng chú ý là ngày càng có nhiều bệnh mãn tính và các trường hợp tử vong sớm do hoá chất độc hại, đặc biệt là không khí bị ô nhiễm do chì, lên đến 1,8 triệu ca. Tiếp xúc với bụi mịn và khí nitơ oxit là nguyên nhân tử vong của 6,7 ​​triệu ca tử vong sớm mỗi năm.  Nghiên cứu phân biệt rõ các chất ô nhiễm truyền thống và hiện đại. Ví dụ, các chất ô nhiễm truyền thống đó là khói, nước thải sinh hoạt. Các chất ô nhiễm hiện đại là ô nhiễm không khí từ các phương tiện giao thông, hoặc từ các hoạt động công nghiệp và hoá chất độc hại. Báo cáo cho biết các ca tử vong do ô nhiễm truyền thống đã giảm, nhưng do các chất ô nhiễm hiện đại lại tăng lên đáng kể, ở hầu hết các quốc gia.   Chì có mặt ở mọi nơi Bên cạnh ô nhiễm không khí, ô nhiễm do hoá chất gây ra 1, 8 triệu ca tử vong mỗi năm, từ các loại kim loại nặng và các chất thải công nghiệp, thuốc trừ sâu hoặc các chất gây ô nhiễm có trong các sản phẩm được sử dụng trong tiêu dùng hàng loạt chất chống cháy, hợp chất perfluorinated, bisphenol, phthalate). Các nhà nghiên cứu cho rằng con số này trên thực tế có thể cao hơn, do rất ít hóa chất sử dụng trong ngành công nghiệp được theo dõi đầy đủ, và thường chỉ ở những nước đã phát triển. Ô nhiễm chì là loại phổ biến nhất. Bà Kupka giải thích việc tiếp xúc với chì có thể xảy ra trong nhiều tình huống.   “Bình điện của ô tô đều được tái chế ở một nơi nào đó. Ở các nước thu nhập cao, pin thường được tái chế theo chu trình cẩn thận và nhiêm ngặt. Còn ở các nước có thu nhập thấp và trung bình, có thể hơn một nửa tổng số bình điện bị bỏ đi hoặc không được tái chế và xử lý đúng cách. Điểm thứ hai, điều khiến chúng tôi lo lắng là các loại gia vị và hương liệu bị pha tạp chất, đặc biệt là ở các nước sử dụng nhiều gia vị trong ẩm thực như Ấn Độ, Bangladesh, Maroc và Gruzia, hay cả trong các loại gia vị nhập khẩu vào Mỹ. Trong quá trình chế biến, họ thêm chì cromat (lead(II) chromate), hoặc muối chì, tạo ra màu vàng hoặc đỏ, bắt mắt cho gia vị. Thứ ba, đó là việc sử dụng đồ gốm tráng men chì hoặc dụng cụ nấu nướng bằng nhôm có chứa chì. Khi nấu ăn bằng các loại vật dụng này, chì có thể ngấm trực tiếp vào thực phẩm.”  Liên Hiệp Châu Âu (EU) ngày 25/4, đã công bố một kế hoạch nhằm loại bỏ hàng loạt các hóa chất nguy hiểm nhất cho sức khỏe và môi trường khỏi các sản phẩm tiêu dùng vào năm 2030. Tuy nhiên, các nhà khoa học cho rằng “hầu hết các quốc gia làm chưa đủ”.  Đồng tác giả của báo cáo Richard Fuller cho biết : “Mặc dù ô nhiễm gây ra những hậu quả nghiêm trọng đối với sức khỏe, ngày càng được ghi nhận rõ ràng, và mối quan tâm ngày càng tăng trong dân chúng, sự chú ý mà các phương tiện dành cho cuộc chiến chống ô nhiễm chỉ tăng rất ít kể từ năm 2015”.  Thiệt hại kinh tế do ô nhiễm  Một vấn đề khác được giới chuyên gia quan tâm, đó là thiệt hại kinh tế liên quan đến các ca tử vong sớm do ô nhiễm. Điều này có thể được đánh giá qua việc mất đi nguồn nhân lực trong xã hội. The Lancet gọi đây là tổn thất phúc lợi. Báo cáo sử dụng phương pháp đánh giá chi phí ô nhiễm hiện đại, dựa trên các triển vọng tăng trưởng kinh tế xã hội của các quốc gia.   Theo báo cáo được uỷ ban về ô nhiễm và sức khoẻ của Lancet, thực hiện dựa trên số liệu của năm 2015, thiệt hại kinh tế liên quan đến ô nhiễm vào năm 2015 tương đương với 6,2 % GDP thế giới. Tình trạng không khí ô nhiễm tác động đến kinh tế, đặc biệt nghiêm trọng ở các khu vực Đông Á (10,3% GDP), và Thái Bình Dương (9,3% GDP).  Các nước nghèo chịu hậu quả nhiều nhất  92% số ca tử vong tập trung ở các nước có thu nhập trung bình và thấp, đặc biệt là ở Nam Á (Ấn Độ, Pakistan, Bangladesh, v.v.). Ở các nước có quá trình công nghiệp hoá diễn ra nhanh chóng như Ấn Độ, Pakistan, Trung Quốc, Madagascar hoặc Kenya, cứ bốn người tử vong thì có đến một ca có liên quan đến ô nhiễm. Báo cáo cũng nhấn mạnh tầm quan trọng kinh tế của những cuộc sống bị rút ngắn này đối với các quốc gia liên quan: hơn 4.600 tỷ đô la mỗi năm, hay tương đương với 6,2% GDP thế giới.  Tuy nhiên, gánh nặng ô nhiễm này vẫn bị cả chính phủ và các tổ chức hỗ trợ phát triển bỏ qua. Tạp chí The Lancet kêu gọi  xoá bỏ “lầm tưởng” rằng ô nhiễm là hệ quả tất yếu của sự phát triển kinh tế.  Các nhà nghiên cứu kêu gọi tăng cường tài trợ cho việc kiểm soát ô nhiễm từ các chính phủ và các nhà tài trợ, giám sát tốt hơn và một cơ quan khoa học độc lập mới để đánh giá vấn đề, theo mô hình của Ủy ban liên chính phủ về biến đổi khí hậu, có các báo cáo có ảnh hưởng được tất cả các chính phủ đồng ý. Theo bà Rachel Kupka, từ lâu ô nhiễm chỉ được xem là một vấn đề cần giải quyết ở mức độ địa phương với các quy định quốc gia. Thế nhưng, cũng giống như hiện tượng trái đất nóng lên, “ô nhiễm là một mối đe doạ toàn cầu và không bị giới hạn bởi đường biên giới và cần một phản ứng quốc tế”.

Producers/Hosts: Jim Campbell and Amy Browne With assistance from Ann Luther and Matt Murphy This series is made possible in part by a grant from the Maine Arts Commission: In a previous program, we began looking at the effects of Climate Change on life in Maine, now and in the future, a topic that almost everyone mentioned who participated in our interest gathering efforts. Maine is the oldest state in the country, both in median age and in percentage of those over 55, but the people who are going to be dealing with the effects of Climate Change the longest are younger people. And climate change seems to be affecting many of them already. In December of 2021, The Lancet Planetary Health journal published the results of a survey of 10,000 people ages 16 to 25 year in ten countries. The authors found that “Respondents across all countries were worried about climate change (59% were very or extremely worried and 84% were at least moderately worried). More than 50% reported each of the following emotions: sad, anxious, angry, powerless, helpless, and guilty. More than 45% of respondents said their feelings about climate change negatively affected their daily life and functioning, and many reported a high number of negative thoughts about climate change (eg, 75% said that they think the future is frightening and 83% said that they think people have failed to take care of the planet). Respondents rated governmental responses to climate change negatively and reported greater feelings of betrayal than of reassurance.” On today's program, we talk with several younger people in Maine about their attitudes and expectations of the effects of climate change on their future. We spoke with two pairs of high school students. We will hear first from Joey and Edge, who are from two different schools in Washington County. We'll follow that conversation with one with Grace and Sophia, who are from the Mount Desert Island area of Hancock County. Finally, we hear from Hazel Stark, a Millennial, Registered Maine Guide, naturalist educator and cofounder of the Maine Outdoor School. She also hosts the Saturday morning short feature, The Nature of Phenology, here on WERU, co-produced with Joe Horn. The resources Hazel mentions include: iNaturalist , eBird , and Budburst She also recommends UMaine’s Signs of the Seasons: A New England Phenology Program and the USA National Phenology Network FMI: Maine’s Climate Future 2020 – a University of Maine report authored by Ivan Fernandez, Sean Birkel, Catherine Schmitt, Julia Simonson, Brad Lyon, Andrew Pershing, Esperanza Stancioff, George Jacobson, and Paul Mayewski.

About the hosts: Jim Campbell has a longstanding interest in the intersection of digital technology, law, and public policy and how they affect our daily lives in our increasingly digital world. He has banged around non-commercial radio for decades and, in the little known facts department (that should probably stay that way), he was one of the readers voicing Richard Nixon's words when NPR broadcast the entire transcript of the Watergate tapes. Like several other current WERU volunteers, he was at the station's sign-on party on May 1, 1988 and has been a volunteer ever since doing an early stint as a Morning Maine host, and later producing WERU program series including Northern Lights, Conversations on Science and Society, Sound Portrait of the Artist, Selections from the Camden Conference, others that will probably come to him after this is is posted, and, of course, Notes from the Electronic Cottage. Amy Browne started out at WERU as a volunteer news & public affairs producer in 2000, co-hosting/co-producing RadioActive with Meredith DeFrancesco. She joined the team of Voices producers a few years later, and has been WERU's News & Public Affairs Manager since January, 2006. In addition to RadioActive, Voices, Maine Currents and Maine: The Way Life Could Be, Amy also produced and hosted the WERU News Report for several years. She has produced segments for national programs including Free Speech Radio News, This Way Out, Making Contact, Workers Independent News, Pacifica PeaceWatch, and Live Wire News, and has contributed to Democracy Now and the WBAI News Report.

In this week's episode, host Daniel Raimi talks with Lara Aleluia Reis, a scientist at our sister institution, the RFF-CMCC European Institute on Economics and the Environment. Reis and her coauthors have recently released a new study in “Lancet Planetary Health” about the connection between air pollution and climate change. The study explores how policymakers can most effectively accomplish two important goals at the same time: reducing air pollution, which contributes to millions of deaths per year, and achieving our long-term objectives in mitigating climate change.

Study: Sustainable eating is cheaper and healthier Oxford University, November 11, 2021 Oxford University research has today revealed that, in countries such as the US, the UK, Australia and across Western Europe, adopting a vegan, vegetarian, or flexitarian diet could slash your food bill by up to one-third. The study, which compared the cost of seven sustainable diets to the current typical diet in 150 countries, using food prices from the World Bank's International Comparison Program, was published in The Lancet Planetary Health. (next) Meta-analysis concludes resveratrol beneficially modulates glycemic control in diabetics Zagazig University and Suez Canal University (Egypt), October 29 2021.  Findings from a meta-analysis of clinical trials published in Medicina Clinica (Barcelona) revealed an association between supplementing with resveratrol and improvements in glycemic control. “This systematic review and meta-analysis is the first to consider resveratrol's efficacy on glycemic and cardiometabolic parameters in patients with Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).” (next) Exercise linked to better mental health Kaiser Permanente Research, November 11, 2021 Kaiser Permanente research published in Preventive Medicine showed people who exercised more during the initial lockdown period of the COVID-19 pandemic experienced less anxiety and depression than those who didn't exercise. It also showed that people who spent more time outdoors typically experienced lower levels of anxiety and depression than those who stayed inside. (next) Bedtime linked with heart health University of Exeter (UK), November 9, 2021 Going to sleep between 10:00 and 11:00 pm is associated with a lower risk of developing heart disease compared to earlier or later bedtimes, according to a study published today in European Heart Journal—Digital Health, a journal of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC). "While we cannot conclude causation from our study, the results suggest that early or late bedtimes may be more likely to disrupt the body clock, with adverse consequences for cardiovascular health." (NEXT) Garlic compounds may boost cardio health indirectly via gut microbiota National Taiwan University, November 6 2021 Allicin from garlic may prevent the metabolism of unabsorbed L-carnitine or choline into TMAO, a compound linked to an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases, says a new study. TMAO – or trimethylamine N-oxide – has been known to be generated from dietary carnitine through metabolism of gut microbiota, and was recently reported to be an “important gut microbiota-dependent metabolite to cause cardiovascular diseases.”  New data indicated that carnitine-fed lab mice showed a “remarkable increase in plasma TMAO levels”, compared with lab mice fed a control (no carnitine). However, when allicin supplements were provided with the carnitine diet, TMAO levels were significantly reduced.   (NEXT) Drug used to prevent miscarriage increases risk of cancer in offspring University of Texas Health Science Center, November 9, 2021 Exposure in utero to a drug used to prevent miscarriage can lead to an increased risk of developing cancer, according to researchers at The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston  The drug, 17α-hydroxyprogesterone caproate (17-OHPC), is a synthetic progestogen that was frequently used by women in the 1950s and 1960s, and is still prescribed to women today to help prevent preterm birth.  (OTHER NEWS NEXT) 2,433 Dead Babies in VAERS as Another Study Shows mRNA Shots Not Safe for Pregnant Women by Brian Shilhavy Editor, Health Impact News, November 7, 2021 There have now been 2,433 fetal deaths recorded in VAERS (Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System) from pregnant women who have been injected with one of the COVID-19 shots. The vast majority of these have been from the Pfizer shot (1,862 deaths) and the Moderna shot (656 deaths.) There have been more fetal deaths in the past 11 months following COVID-19 shots than there have been for the past 30+ years following ALL vaccines (2,198 – Source.) Last month (October, 2021) the New England Journal of Medicine admitted that the original study used to justify the CDC and the FDA in recommending the shots to pregnant women was flawed. (Source.) Since then, researchers in New Zealand have conducted a new study on the original data, and concluded: A re-analysis of these figures indicates a cumulative incidence of spontaneous abortion ranging from 82% (104/127) to 91% (104/114), 7–8 times higher than the original authors' results. (Source.) And yet, the CDC and FDA still continue to recommend the shots for pregnant women, even though a correct analysis on the original data shows that 82% to 91% of pregnant women will suffer miscarriages if their unborn child is less than 20 weeks old. (Source.) VAERS is a passive system that is severely under reported. The CDC and FDA have never conducted a study to determine what this under-reported factor is, but independent scientists have, and we have previously published the analysis conducted by Dr. Jessica Rose, who has determined that a conservative under-reported factor would be X41. See: STUDY: Government's Own Data Reveals that at Least 150,000 Probably DEAD in U.S. Following COVID-19 Vaccines This means that there have probably been at least 99,753 fetal deaths following COVID-19 injections so far. Here is a video report we made on this last month with some very unfortunate gruesome examples of what these shots are doing to unborn babies. 1,969 Fetal Deaths Recorded Following COVID-19 Shots but Criminal CDC Recommends Pregnant Women Get the Shot UPDATE – November 7, 2021 PM A couple of hours after publishing this article, a video that has been circulating on the Internet of an interview with a Funeral Director in the UK became known to me. He has been in practice for over 3 years and is identified as “Wesley,” and was interviewed by a group called “Resistance GB.” He claims that last fall was one the slowest periods of seeing deaths for all funeral directors, but when the COVID-19 shots were introduced, deaths started dramatically increasing. It started with the elderly, but then by April they were seeing large numbers of people in their 30s and 40s. Many of them were dying of myocarditis. Now, they are seeing unprecedented numbers of newborn babies, and they are piling up in hospital refrigerators. Some are full term, some are pre-term, he claims. The UK originally recommended that pregnant women and nursing mothers should NOT get the experimental COVID shots, but like the CDC in the U.S., they eventually changed their recommendation to encourage pregnant women to get the shots. (NEXT) An ethical analysis of vaccinating children against COVID-19: benefits, risks, and issues of global health equity Johns Hopkins University, Oxford-Johns Hopkins Global Infectious Disease Ethics Collaborative, Wageningen University - The Netherlands, University of Oxford, Abstract We argue that it is currently unclear whether routine COVID-19 vaccination of healthy children is ethically justified in most contexts, given the minimal direct benefit that COVID-19 vaccination provides to children, the potential for rare risks to outweigh these benefits and undermine vaccine confidence, and substantial evidence that COVID-19 vaccination confers adequate protection to risk groups, such as older adults, without the need to vaccinate children. We conclude that child COVID-19 vaccination in wealthy communities before adults in poor communities worldwide is ethically unacceptable and consider how policy deliberations might evolve in light of future developments. (NEXT) What's Driving Global Deforestation? Organized Crime, Beef, Soy, Palm Oil and Wood Products Jennifer Devine,  Counterpunch, November 17, 2021 Every year the world loses an estimated 25 million acres (10 million hectares) of forest, an area larger than the state of Indiana. Nearly all of it is in the tropics. From my research on social and environmental issues in Latin America, I know that four consumer goods are responsible for the majority of global deforestation: beef, soy, palm oil, and wood pulp and paper products. Together these commodities are responsible for the loss of nearly 12 million acres (5 million hectares) annually. There's also a fifth, less publicized key driver: organized crime, including illegal drug trafficking. The dominant role of beef Among major products that promote deforestation, beef is in a class by itself. Beef production is now estimated to be the biggest driver of deforestation worldwide, accounting for 41% of global forest losses. In the Amazon alone, cattle ranching accounts for 80% of deforestation. From 2000 to 2011, beef production emitted nearly 200 times more greenhouse gases than soy, and 60 times more than oil palm in tropical countries with high deforestation rates. Soy and palm oil: Ubiquitous ingredients Together, soy and palm oil drive nearly 10% of deforestation annually – almost 2.5 million acres (1 million hectares). Clearing land for palm oil plantations fuels large-scale rainforest destruction in Indonesia and Malaysia, where most of the world's palm oil is produced. Palm oil is the most commonly produced, consumed and traded vegetable oil. Some 60% of the 66 million tons produced globally every year is used to produce energy in the form of biofuel, power and heat. About 40% is used for food, animal feed and chemical products. Palm oil is an ingredient in half of all products found at the supermarket, including margarine, shampoos, frozen pizza and detergents. Soy production has doubled globally in the past 20 years. Nearly 80% of global soy is fed to cows, chickens, pigs and farmed fish. This demand reflects the tripling of global meat production over the past 50 years. Wood products Wood products are responsible for about 5% of annual global deforestation, or about 1.2 million acres (500,000 hectares) yearly. Wood is widely used for home construction and furniture, and also as a pulp source for paper and fabric. And in low-income nations and rural areas, it's an important fuel source for heating and cooking. The three largest paper-producing countries are the U.S., Canada and China. Illegal deforestation and organized crime Another industry plays an important role, especially in tropical forests: organized crime. Large, lucrative industries offer opportunities to move and launder money; as a result, in many parts of the world, deforestation is driven by the drug trade. In South America and Central America, drug trafficking organizations are the vanguard of deforestation. Drug traffickers are illegally logging forests in the Amazon and hiding cocaine in timber shipments to Europe. In my research, I have analyzed how traffickers illegally log and raise cattle in protected areas in Central America to launder money and claim drug smuggling territory. Other scholars estimate that 30% to 60% of deforestation in the region is “narco-deforestation.” Forest Trends analysis, exports tied to illegal deforestation are worth US$61 billion annually and are responsible for 25% of total global tropical deforestation. (NEXT) ‘This Must Not Happen': If Unhalted, Permian Basin Fracking Will Unleash 40 Billion Tons of CO2 by 2050 As activists at the COP26 summit continue to denounce the “massive” gap between wealthy governments' lofty rhetoric and their woefully inadequate plans for addressing the climate emergency, a new analysis of projected extraction in the Permian Basin in the U.S. Southwest exposes the extent to which oil and gas executives' refusal to keep fossil fuels in the ground puts humanity's future in jeopardy. “While climate science tells us that we must consume 40% less oil in 2030, Permian producers plan to grow production more than 50%.” Released Tuesday by Oil Change International, Earthworks, and the Center for International Environmental Law, the second chapter of The Permian Basin Climate Bomb warns that if the drilling and fracking boom that has turned the Permian Basin into “the world's single most prolific oil and gas field” over the past decade is allowed to persist unabated for the next three decades, it will generate nearly 40 billion tons of carbon dioxide by mid-century. “With global markets flush with Permian oil and gas, it can only be harder to steer the world's economy toward clean energy.” “While climate science tells us that we must consume 40% less oil in 2030, Permian producers plan to grow production more than 50%” from 2021 to 2030, said Stockman. “This must not happen.” “If left unchecked,” the report notes, “the Permian could continue to produce huge amounts of oil, gas, and gas liquids for decades to come. With global markets flush with Permian oil and gas, it can only be harder to steer the world's economy toward clean energy.” (NEXT) Wall Street's Takeover of Nature Advances with Launch of New Asset Class By Whitney Webb A project of the multilateral development banking system, the Rockefeller Foundation and the New York Stock Exchange recently created a new asset class that will put, not just the natural world, but the processes underpinning all life, up for sale under the guise of promoting “sustainability.” Last month, the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) announced it had developed a new asset class and accompanying listing vehicle meant “to preserve and restore the natural assets that ultimately underpin the ability for there to be life on Earth.” Called a natural asset company, or NAC, the vehicle will allow for the formation of specialized corporations “that hold the rights to the ecosystem services produced on a given chunk of land, services like carbon sequestration or clean water.” These NACs will then maintain, manage and grow the natural assets they commodify, with the end of goal of maximizing the aspects of that natural asset that are deemed by the company to be profitable. Though described as acting like “any other entity” on the NYSE, it is alleged that NACs “will use the funds to help preserve a rain forest or undertake other conservation efforts, like changing a farm's conventional agricultural production practices.” Yet, as explained towards the end of this article, even the creators of NACs admit that the ultimate goal is to extract near-infinite profits from the natural processes they seek to quantify and then monetize. NYSE COO Michael Blaugrund alluded to this when he said the following regarding the launch of NACs: “Our hope is that owning a natural asset company is going to be a way that an increasingly broad range of investors have the ability to invest in something that's intrinsically valuable, but, up to this point, was really excluded from the financial markets.” Framed with the lofty talk of “sustainability” and “conservation”, media reports on the move in outlets like Fortune couldn't avoid noting that NACs open the doors to “a new form of sustainable investment” which “has enthralled the likes of BlackRock CEO Larry Fink over the past several years even though there remain big, unanswered questions about it.” Fink, one of the world's most powerful financial oligarchs, is and has long been a corporate raider, not an environmentalist, and his excitement about NACs should give even its most enthusiastic proponents pause if this endeavor was really about advancing conservation, as is being claimed. How to Create a NAC The creation and launch of NACs has been two years in the making and saw the NYSE team up with the Intrinsic Exchange Group (IEG), in which the NYSE itself holds a minority stake. IEG's three investors are the Inter-American Development Bank, the Latin America-focused branch of the multilateral development banking system that imposes neoliberal and neo-colonalist agendas through debt entrapment; the Rockefeller Foundation, the foundation of the American oligarch dynasty whose activities have long been tightly enmeshed with Wall Street; and Aberdare Ventures, a venture capital firm chiefly focused on the digital healthcare space. Notably, the IADB and the Rockefeller Foundation are closely tied to the related pushes for Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) and biometric Digital IDs. The IEG's mission focuses on “pioneering a new asset class based on natural assets and the mechanism to convert them to financial capital.” “These assets,” IEG states, make “life on Earth possible and enjoyable…They include biological systems that provide clean air, water, foods, medicines, a stable climate, human health and societal potential.” Put differently, NACs will not only allow ecosystems to become financial assets, but the rights to “ecosystem services”, or the benefits people receive from nature as well. These include food production, tourism, clean water, biodiversity, pollination, carbon sequestration and much more. IEG is currently partnering with Costa Rica's government to pilot its NAC efforts within that country. Costa Rica's Minister of Environment and Energy, Andrea Meza Murillo, has claimed that the pilot project with IEG “will deepen the economic analysis of giving nature its economic value, as well as to continue mobilizing financial flows to conservation.” With NACs, the NYSE and IEG are now putting the totality of nature up for sale. While they assert that doing so will “transform our economy to one that is more equitable, resilient and sustainable”, it's clear that the coming “owners” of nature and natural processes will be the only real beneficiaries. Per the IEG, NACs first begin with the identification of a natural asset, such as a forest or lake, which is then quantified using specific protocols. Such protocols have already been developed by related groups like the Capitals Coalition, which is partnered with several of IEG's partners as well as the World Economic Forum and various coalitions of multinational corporations. Then, a NAC is created and the structure of the company decides who has the rights to that natural asset's productivity as well as the rights to decide how that natural asset is managed and governed. Lastly, a NAC is “converted” into financial capital by launching an initial public offering on a stock exchange, like the NYSE. This last stage “generates capital to manage the natural asset” and the fluctuation of its price on the stock exchange “signals the value of its natural capital.” However, the NAC and its employees, directors and owners are not necessarily the owners of the natural asset itself following this final step. Instead, as IEG notes, the NAC is merely the issuer while the potential buyers of the natural asset the NAC represents can include: institutional investors, private investors, individuals and institutions, corporations, sovereign wealth funds and multilateral development banks. Thus, asset management firms that essentially already own much of the world, like Blackrock, could thus become owners of soon-to-be monetized natural processes, natural resources and the very foundations of natural life itself. Both the NYSE and IEG have marketed this new investment vehicle as being aimed at generating funds that will go back to conservation or sustainability efforts. However, on the IEG's website, it notes that the goal is really endless profit from natural processes and ecosystems that were previously deemed to be part of “the commons”, i.e. the cultural and natural resources accessible to all members of a society, including natural materials such as air, water, and a habitable earth. Per the IEG, “as the natural asset prospers, providing a steady or increasing flow of ecosystem services, the company's equity should appreciate accordingly providing investment returns. Shareholders and investors in the company through secondary offers, can take profit by selling shares. These sales can be gauged to reflect the increase in capital value of the stock, roughly in-line with its profitability, creating cashflow based on the health of the company and its assets.” Researcher and journalist Cory Morningstar has strongly disagreed with the approach being taken by NYSE/IEG and views NACs as a system that will only exacerbate the corporate predation of nature, despite claims to the contrary. Morningstar has described NACs as “Rockefeller et al. letting the markets dictate what in nature has value – and what does not. Yet, it's not for capitalist institutions and global finance to decide what life has value. Ecosystems are not ‘assets.' Biological communities exist for their own purposes, not ours.” A New Way to Loot The ultimate goal of NACs is not sustainability or conservation – it is the financialization of nature, i.e. turning nature into a commodity that can be used to keep the current, corrupt Wall Street economy booming under the guise of protecting the environment and preventing its further degradation. Indeed, IEG makes this clear when they note that “the opportunity” of NACs lies not in their potential to improve environmental well-being or sustainability, but in the size of this new asset class, which they term “Nature's Economy.” Indeed, while the asset classes of the current economy are value at approximately $512 trillion, the asset classes unlocked by NACs are significantly larger at $4,000 trillion (i.e. $4 quadrillion). Thus, NACs open up a new feeding ground for predatory Wall Street banks and financial institutions that will allow them to not just dominate the human economy, but the entire natural world. In the world currently being constructed by these and related entities, where even freedom is being re-framed not as a right but “a service,” the natural processes on which life depends are similarly being re-framed as assets, which will have owners. Those “owners” will ultimately have the right, in this system, to dictate who gets access to clean water, to clean air, to nature itself and at what cost. According to Cory Morningstar, one of the other aims of creating “Nature's Economy” and neatly packaging it for Wall Street via NACs is to drastically advance massive land grab efforts made by Wall Street and the oligarch class in recent years. This includes the recent land grabs made by Wall Street firms as well as billionaire “philanthropists” like Bill Gates during the COVID crisis. However, the land grabs facilitated through the development of NACs will largely target indigenous communities in the developing world. As Morningstar notes: “The public launch of NACs strategically preceded the fifteenth meeting of the Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity, the biggest biodiversity conference in a decade. Under the pretext of turning 30% of the globe into “protected areas”, the largest global land grab in history is underway. Built on a foundation of white supremacy, this proposal will displace hundreds of millions, furthering the ongoing genocide of Indigenous peoples. The tragic irony is this: while Indigenous peoples represent less than 5% of the global population, they support approximately 80% of all biodiversity.“ IEG, in discussing NACs, tellingly notes that proceeds from a NAC's IPO can be used for the acquisition of more land by its controlling entities or used to boost the budgets or funds of those who receive the capital from the IPO. This is a far cry from the NYSE/IEG sales pitch that NACs are “different” because their IPOs will be used to “preserve and protect” natural areas. The climate change panic that is now rising to the take the place of COVID-19 panic will surely be used to savvily market NACs and similar tactics as necessary to save the planet, but – rest assured – NACs are not a move to save the planet, but a move to enable the same interests responsible for the current environmental crises to usher in a new era where their predatory exploitation reaches new heights that were previously unimaginable.

The study, which compared the cost of seven sustainable diets to the current typical diet in 150 countries, using food prices from the World Bank's International Comparison Program, was published in The Lancet Planetary Health. It found that in high-income countries: Vegan diets were the most affordable and reduced food costs by up to one third. Vegetarian diets were a close second. Flexitarian diets with low amounts of meat and dairy reduced costs by 14%. By contrast, pescatarian diets increased costs by up to 2%. “We think the fact that vegan, vegetarian and flexitarian diets can save you a lot of money is going to surprise people,” says Dr. Marco Springmann, researcher on the Oxford Martin Programme on the Future of Food. “When scientists like me advocate for healthy and environmentally-friendly eating, it's often said we're sitting in our ivory towers promoting something financially out of reach for most people. This study shows it's quite the opposite. These diets could be better for your bank balance as well as for your health and…the planet.” Miguel Barclay, author of the bestselling “One Pound Meals” series of cookbooks, says, “I definitely agree that cutting down your meat, or cutting it out completely, will save you money. I've written seven budget cookbooks and have costed up hundreds of recipes, and without doubt vegan and vegetarian meals consistently come in at a much lower price than recipes with meat.” The study focused on whole foods and did not include highly-processed meat replacements or eating at restaurants or takeaways. The study also found that in lower income countries, such as on the Indian subcontinent and in sub-Saharan Africa, eating a healthy and sustainable diet would be up to a quarter cheaper than a typical Western diet, but at least a third more expensive than current diets. To analyze what options could improve affordability and reduce diet costs, the study looked at several policy options. It found that making healthy and sustainable diets affordable everywhere is possible within the next 10 years when economic development, especially in lower income countries, is paired with reductions in food waste and a climate and health-friendly pricing of foods. “Affording to eat a healthy and sustainable diet is possible everywhere, but requires political will,” according to Dr. Springmann. “Current low-income diets tend to contain large amounts of starchy foods and not enough of the foods we know are healthy. And the western-style diets, often seen as aspirational, are not only unhealthy, but also vastly unsustainable and unaffordable in low-income countries. Any of the healthy and sustainable dietary patterns we looked at are a better option for health, the environment, and financially, but development support and progressive food policies are needed to make them both affordable and desirable everywhere.” The study, “The global and regional costs of healthy and sustainable dietary patterns: a modeling study,” is published in The Lancet Planetary Health on 10 November 2021. Country-level results are available here. Green One Pound Meals by Miguel Barclay is published on 30 December. It features planet-friendly recipes and includes tips and ideas for shopping smart and avoiding food waste. Meta-analysis concludes resveratrol beneficially modulates glycemic control in diabetics Zagazig University and Suez Canal University (Egypt), October 29 2021.  Findings from a meta-analysis of clinical trials published on October 16, 2021 in Medicina Clinica (Barcelona) revealed an association between supplementing with resveratrol and improvements in glycemic control. “Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a progressive meta-inflammatory disorder, which induces micro and macrovascular complications,” Ibrahim A. Abdelhaleem and colleagues wrote. “Resveratrol is a nutraceutical known to have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.” “This systematic review and meta-analysis is the first to consider resveratrol's efficacy on glycemic and cardiometabolic parameters in patients with T2DM.” Sixteen randomized trials that included a total of 871 diabetic men and women were selected for the meta-analysis. The trials compared resveratrol to a placebo with or without concurrent antidiabetic medications or other drug treatment. Resveratrol doses of 500 milligrams or more were associated with lower fasting blood glucose, fasting serum insulin, insulin resistance, total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol and diastolic blood pressure in comparison with a placebo. Resveratrol was associated with a greater reduction in hemoglobin A1c (a marker of long-term glucose control) compared to a placebo in trials of three months duration. When HDL cholesterol levels were analyzed, resveratrol was superior to a placebo in trials of less than two months duration. Resveratrol was also associated with a reduction in systolic blood pressure compared to measurements obtained in the placebo group. Furthermore, triglycerides were lower in association with resveratrol in trials that lasted six to twelve months. “We concluded that resveratrol appropriately improved insulin sensitivity by decreasing insulin resistance, fasting blood glucose, fasting serum insulin, and hemoglobin A1c,” the authors concluded. “In addition, it improved other cardiometabolic parameters, including triglycerides, total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, and systolic and diastolic blood pressure. The most appropriate glycemic control effect was fulfilled when consumed for at least one month with doses of 500 mg or more.” Exercise linked to better mental health Kaiser Permanente Research, November 11, 2021 Kaiser Permanente research published on November 11 in Preventive Medicine showed people who exercised more during the initial lockdown period of the COVID-19 pandemic experienced less anxiety and depression than those who didn't exercise. It also showed that people who spent more time outdoors typically experienced lower levels of anxiety and depression than those who stayed inside. More than 20,000 people participated in the survey-based study from 6 regions served by Kaiser Permanente across the United States, which included Hawaii, Colorado, Georgia, and the mid-Atlantic states, as well as Southern and Northern California. “What these study findings tell us is that even during an active pandemic or other public health crisis, people should be encouraged to be physically active to help maintain their physical and mental health,” said the study's lead author Deborah Rohm Young, PhD, the director of the Division of Behavioral Research for the Kaiser Permanente Southern California Department of Research & Evaluation. “Parks and other nature areas should remain open during public health emergencies to encourage outdoor physical activity.” In March 2020, COVID-19 developed into a worldwide pandemic. With no known treatment, public health officials attempted to reduce its spread by limiting human interactions through stay-at-home policies. Businesses temporarily closed or changed their practices to prevent the spread of the virus, affecting the economy and many people's jobs. These stressful factors, along with fewer opportunities to socialize with friends and family, increased symptoms of depression and anxiety for many people. Since it is known that physical activity and time spent in nature are associated with improved mental health, researchers at Kaiser Permanente in Southern California sought to determine how exercise and time outdoors was associated with people's mental health during the height of the pandemic. In April 2020, researchers sent a series of COVID-19 surveys to more than 250,000 participants in the Kaiser Permanente Research Bank — a collection of lifestyle surveys, electronic health record data, and biospecimens, which Kaiser Permanente members volunteered. People who reported COVID-19 symptoms were not included in this analysis, resulting in 20,012 respondents. They each completed at least 4 surveys between April and July 2020. White women older than 50 accounted for a high proportion of the respondents. Most respondents said they were retired and generally adhered to the “safer-at-home” orders during the period of the survey. The study found that: Reports of anxiety and depression decreased over time Anxiety and depression scores were higher for females and younger people, and lower for Asian and Black people compared with white respondents Participants who reported no physical activity reported the highest depression and anxiety compared to people who had exercised Spending less time outdoors was associated with higher depression and anxiety scores People who had increased their time outdoors the most reported the highest anxiety scores, but the research could not explain the finding “What we learned from these findings is that during future emergencies it will be important to carefully weigh the decisions to close parks and outdoor areas against the negative impact those closures may have on people's mental health,” said Dr. Young. Bedtime linked with heart health University of Exeter (UK), November 9, 2021 Going to sleep between 10:00 and 11:00 pm is associated with a lower risk of developing heart disease compared to earlier or later bedtimes, according to a study published today in European Heart Journal—Digital Health, a journal of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC). “The body has a 24-hour internal clock, called circadian rhythm, that helps regulate physical and mental functioning,” said study author Dr. David Plans of the University of Exeter, UK. “While we cannot conclude causation from our study, the results suggest that early or late bedtimes may be more likely to disrupt the body clock, with adverse consequences for cardiovascular health.” While numerous analyses have investigated the link between sleep duration and cardiovascular disease, the relationship between sleep timing and heart disease is underexplored. This study examined the association between objectively measured, rather than self-reported, sleep onset in a large sample of adults. The study included 88,026 individuals in the UK Biobank recruited between 2006 and 2010. The average age was 61 years (range 43 to 79 years) and 58% were women. Data on sleep onset and waking up time were collected over seven days using a wrist-worn accelerometer. Participants completed demographic, lifestyle, health and physical assessments and questionnaires. They were then followed up for a new diagnosis of cardiovascular disease, which was defined as a heart attack, heart failure, chronic ischaemic heart disease, stroke, and transient ischaemic attack. During an average follow-up of 5.7 years, 3,172 participants (3.6%) developed cardiovascular disease. Incidence was highest in those with sleep times at midnight or later and lowest in those with sleep onset from 10:00 to 10:59 pm. The researchers analyzed the association between sleep onset and cardiovascular events after adjusting for age, sex, sleep duration, sleep irregularity (defined as varied times of going to sleep and waking up), self-reported chronotype (early bird or night owl), smoking status, body mass index, diabetes, blood pressure, blood cholesterol and socioeconomic status. Compared to sleep onset from 10:00 to 10:59 pm, there was a 25% higher risk of cardiovascular disease with a sleep onset at midnight or later, a 12% greater risk for 11:00 to 11:59 pm, and a 24% raised risk for falling asleep before 10:00 pm. In a further analysis by sex, the association with increased cardiovascular risk was stronger in women, with only sleep onset before 10:00 pm remaining significant for men. Dr. Plans said: “Our study indicates that the optimum time to go to sleep is at a specific point in the body's 24-hour cycle and deviations may be detrimental to health. The riskiest time was after midnight, potentially because it may reduce the likelihood of seeing morning light, which resets the body clock.” Dr. Plans noted that the reasons for the observed stronger association between sleep onset and cardiovascular disease in women is unclear. He said: “It may be that there is a sex difference in how the endocrine system responds to a disruption in circadian rhythm. Alternatively, the older age of study participants could be a confounding factor since women's cardiovascular risk increases post-menopause—meaning there may be no difference in the strength of the association between women and men.” He concluded: “While the findings do not show causality, sleep timing has emerged as a potential cardiac risk factor—independent of other risk factors and sleep characteristics. If our findings are confirmed in other studies, sleep timing and basic sleep hygiene could be a low-cost public health target for lowering risk of heart disease.” Garlic compounds may boost cardio health indirectly via gut microbiota National Taiwan University, November 6 2021 Allicin from garlic may prevent the metabolism of unabsorbed L-carnitine or choline into TMAO, a compound linked to an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases, says a new study from the National Taiwan University. TMAO – or trimethylamine N-oxide – has been known to be generated from dietary carnitine through metabolism of gut microbiota, and was recently reported to be an “important gut microbiota-dependent metabolite to cause cardiovascular diseases,” explained Taiwanese researchers in the Journal of Functional Foods . While antibiotics have been found to inhibit TMAO production, concerns over side effects and resistance have limited their use. This has led researchers to examine the potential of natural alternatives. New data indicated that carnitine-fed lab mice showed a “remarkable increase in plasma TMAO levels”, compared with lab mice fed a control (no carnitine). However, when allicin supplements were provided with the carnitine diet, TMAO levels were significantly reduced. “Surprisingly, the plasma TMAO levels in the mice of ‘carnitine diet + allicin' treatment group were as low as that of chow diet [control] group,” wrote the researchers. “This result indicated that the metabolic capacity of mice gut microbiota to produce TMAO was completely inhibited by allicin supplement even though provided with carnitine-rich environment in the gut. “It means the functional alteration of gut microbiota induced by carnitine diet can be prevented by addition of another substance with antimicrobial potential derived from food, such as allicin.” Garlic and heart health The study adds to the body of scientific literature supporting the potential heart health benefits of garlic and the compounds it contains. Consumer awareness of the health benefits of garlic, mostly in terms of cardiovascular and immune system health, has benefited the supplements industry, particularly since consumers seek the benefits of garlic without the odors that accompany the fresh bulb. The benefits have been linked to the compound allicin, which is not found in fresh garlic: It is only formed when garlic is crushed, which breaks down a compound called diallyl sulphide. Study details “This may offer an opportunity to take advantage of plants' delicately designed defense system against microorganisms, to protect ourselves by modulating gut microbiota to a healthier status,” wrote the researchers The Taiwanese researchers divided male C57BL/6(B6) mice into four groups: One group received only the control chow diet; the second group received the carnitine diet (carnitine added to drinking water at a level of 0.02%); the third group received the carnitine diet with supplemental allicin; and the final group received the control diet plus the allicin supplement for six weeks. Results showed that the second group (carnitine diet) had TMAO levels 4–22 times greater than those observed in the control group. However, these increases were attenuated in the carnitine + allicin group, said the researchers. “Our study suggests that antimicrobial phytochemicals such as allicin effectively neutralize the metabolic ability of TMAO production of gut microbiota induced by daily intake of L-carnitine,” wrote the researchers. “It may offer an opportunity for us to take advantage of plants' delicately designed defense system against microorganisms, to protect ourselves by modulating gut microbiota to a healthier status. “Our research also suggested that allicin and dietary fresh garlic containing allicin might be used as functional foods for the prevention of atherosclerosis,” they concluded. Drug used to prevent miscarriage increases risk of cancer in offspring University of Texas Health Science Center, November 9, 2021 Exposure in utero to a drug used to prevent miscarriage can lead to an increased risk of developing cancer, according to researchers at The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston (UTHealth Houston). The study was published today in the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology. The drug, 17α-hydroxyprogesterone caproate (17-OHPC), is a synthetic progestogen that was frequently used by women in the 1950s and 1960s, and is still prescribed to women today to help prevent preterm birth. Progesterone helps the womb grow during pregnancy and prevents a woman from having early contractions that may lead to miscarriage. “Children who were born to women who received the drug during pregnancy have double the rate of cancer across their lifetime compared to children born to women who did not take this drug,” said Caitlin C. Murphy, PhD, MPH, lead author on the study and associate professor in the Department of Health Promotion and Behavioral Sciences at UTHealth School of Public Health in Houston. “We have seen cancers like colorectal cancer, pancreatic cancer, thyroid cancer, and many others increasing in people born in and after the 1960s, and no one really knows why.” Researchers reviewed data from the Kaiser Foundation Health Plan on women who received prenatal care between June 1959 and June 1967, and the California Cancer Registry, which traced cancer in offspring through 2019. Out of more than 18,751 live births, researchers discovered 1,008 cancer diagnoses were made in offspring ages 0 to 58 years. Additionally, a total of 234 offspring were exposed to 17-OHPC during pregnancy. Offspring exposed in the womb had cancer detected in adulthood more than twice as often as offspring not exposed to the drug – 65% of cancers occurred in adults younger than 50. “Our findings suggest taking this drug during pregnancy can disrupt early development, which may increase risk of cancer decades later,” Murphy said “With this drug, we are seeing the effects of a synthetic hormone. Things that happened to us in the womb, or exposures in utero, are important risk factors for developing cancer many decades after we're born.” A new randomized trial shows there is no benefit of taking 17-OHPC, and that it does not reduce the risk of preterm birth, according to Murphy. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration proposed in October 2020 that this particular drug be withdrawn from the market.

Milhares de jovens ativistas protestaram em Glasgow, nesta sexta-feira (5), onde está acontecendo a Conferência da ONU sobre o clima. Vindos de vários países, eles acusaram os governos de fazer muito pouco para proteger o mundo das mudanças climáticas. Uma centena de jovens franceses acompanham as negociações da COP26 na Escócia, sem grandes expectativas que os líderes políticos tomem as decisões necessárias para conter o aquecimento da Terra a 1,5°C até 2100, como prevê o Acordo de Paris. A delegação do governo francês na COP26 escolheu dois estudantes para acompanhar as discussões oficiais. Uma delas é Lorelei Lankester, de 22 anos, que faz um mestrado em Ciências Políticas e Meio Ambiente na universidade Sciences Po, de Paris. Ela foi selecionada pelo Ministério da Transição Ecológica para apoiar a delegação francesa nas negociações por dois anos. O restante dos jovens franceses que acompanham as discussões atuam em fundações e ONGs de defesa do meio ambiente. Em entrevista ao canal de TV France 24, Lorelei disse que não esperava uma "revolução" da COP26. Para a estudante, que pretende ter poder de decisão quando concluir sua formação, o importante é ganhar experiência observando os bastidores diplomáticos, para saber como defender no futuro suas pautas ecológicas.  Deixando de lado os militantes aguerridos, os jovens franceses estão cada vez mais conscientes sobre os impactos do aquecimento global e até bastante angustiados com suas consequências. Uma pesquisa recente que ouviu jovens de 16 a 25 anos em dez países, entre eles Brasil e França – publicada na revista científica The Lancet Planetary Health –, mostrou que 74% dos jovens franceses imaginam um futuro "assustador" com as mudanças climáticas. Entre os jovens brasileiros da mesma faixa de idade, a preocupação é maior, apontada por 86% dos entrevistados.  No plano político, da cobrança aos governantes, ainda existem algumas contradições entre os jovens franceses, que votam menos que os adultos nas eleições. No ano passado, 90% dos franceses de 18 a 24 anos que podiam escolher seus representantes nas eleições regionais não votaram. As regiões francesas têm peso importante na condução das políticas de transporte, um dos vilões do aquecimento global. Esse absenteísmo eleitoral, criticado com frequência na mídia, tem produzido efeitos. Segundo uma recente pesquisa do instituto Ipsos, a próxima eleição presidencial, em abril de 2022, poderá sinalizar uma mudança, já que 59% dos jovens dizem que estão "certos de votar". A urgência climática pode estar por trás dessa mobilização. Segundo o sociólogo francês Maxime Gaborit, que estuda as ações de jovens ecologistas na França e na Europa desde a década de 1970-80, o aparecimento do movimento da Greta Thunberg, o Friday's for future (Sextas-feiras para o futuro, em português), em 2018, provocou uma evolução de comportamento. A militância juvenil, que antes era muito marcada pelo nível de educação do adolescente, geralmente nascido em uma família de pais com ensino superior e posicionamento político de esquerda, tem se ampliado para abarcar um público diversificado, graças à popularidade de Greta.  Mas o último estudo nacional sobre hábitos de consumo dos jovens franceses mostrou que apesar da preocupação crescente com as mudanças climáticas, eles não estavam muito engajados em consumir menos produtos industrializados, reciclar o lixo e se alimentar com produtos locais. A pesquisa, realizada pelo Crédoc (Centro de pesquisa para o estudo e a observação das condições de vida), está provavelmente defasada, porque foi feita em 2019. Mesmo sem dispor de números atualizados, Gaborit nota que aumentou a preocupação com as atitudes individuais, com gestos respeitosos da natureza no cotidiano. Mas o sociólogo lembra que isso não será suficiente para resolver as emissões de gases que aquecem a Terra, um problema que exige decisões políticas abrangentes e em escala planetária, como as próprias ONGs sinalizam.  Vegetarianismo cresce entre adolescentes franceses A prática do vegetarianismo e do veganismo tem crescido entre adolescentes na França. Quando eles são interrogados sobre a razão dessa decisão, muitos denunciam em primeiro lugar os maus-tratos aos animais e depois evocam a questão ambiental. As imagens de sofrimento de aves e mamíferos criados em condições degradantes para o abate, como mostram com frequência reportagens e vídeos filmados por ONGs de defesa dos animais, têm forte impacto nos jovens.  Segundo uma pesquisa do organismo France-AgriMer, do Ministério da Agricultura francês, 12% dos jovens franceses de 18 a 24 anos se declaram vegetarianos ou veganos, contra 2% dos adultos com mais de 55 anos. O fenômeno ainda é considerado marginal, mas médicos e nutricionistas apontam como uma tendência crescente.

"Is Humanity Doomed? 56% Say Yes! | Thinking Out Loud"In this episode of his "Thinking Out Loud" series, Double D examines a study from "Lancet Planetary Health" outlining how 56% of young people surveyed agree with the statement "Humanity is Doomed."Double D examines some statistics from the study, including a large percentage of young adults who feel their governments are "betraying them" in regards to catastrophic climate change, as well as many others who feel a negative correlation with their mental health in regards to climate change and subsequent extreme weather events.Double D goes on by reading some testimonies from individuals who partook in the study, relating them to a recent trend of "climate change doomerism" and reflects on what it might be like to discuss the issue of ecological collapse with our children.Double D rounds off the video by calling on parents and activists alike not to embrace an attitude of helplessness when it comes to the climate struggle, insisting that in the end we have no other choice but to keep fighting.Don't forget to join the YouTube fam!youtube.com/entitledmillennialsPlease help us produce more content and grow our channel by becoming a Patron!patreon.com/entitledmillennialsSupport the show and independent media!paypal.me/entitledmillennials

Um estudo promovido por pesquisadores britânicos em 10 países revelou o peso psicológico da degradação ambiental em adolescentes e jovens. A pesquisa ouviu 10 mil pessoas, inclusive no Brasil, e apontou o quanto a falta de ação dos governos para enfrentar a crise climática acentua o sentimento de ansiedade e preocupação nas novas gerações. O estudo se apresenta como o maior já realizado sobre o tema e será publicado na revista científica Lancet Planetary Health, por pesquisadores da universidade de Bath, do Centro de Inovação em Medicina Stanford, a Fundação Saúde NHS de Oxford, entre outros. "A ansiedade climática não é uma doença mental. É uma resposta racional ao estresse psicológico da realidade das mudanças climáticas, e um tal nível de estresse pode provavelmente acabar impactando na saúde mental”, explica a psicóloga Elizabeth Marks, uma das autoras principais da pesquisa. "Quando perguntamos para eles como eles pensam o futuro das mudanças climáticas, eles descrevem um mundo cheio de oportunidades perdidas, assustador e inseguro.” "Por que viver num mundo que não se importa com as crianças?” Foram ouvidas pessoas de 16 a 25 anos, nos seguintes países: Reino Unido, Finlândia, França, Portugal, Estados Unidos, Austrália, Índia, Filipinas, Nigéria e Brasil. A pesquisa constatou que o sofrimento psicológico causado pela crise climática está “significantemente relacionado” com a falta de ação dos governos – ou seja, a angústia das crianças e jovens aumenta na medida em que os países se recusam a tomar medidas mais ambiciosas para conter o aquecimento do planeta. No total, 58% dos entrevistados disseram ter a sensação de estarem sendo “traídos" pelos seus governos e 61% acham que os governantes não estão protegendo a atual juventude, o planeta e as futuras gerações. Os que vivem nos países do sul, como Brasil e Filipinas, se mostram ainda mais angustiados com o problema. “Nós não sabíamos o quanto eles estão apavorados. Uma criança disse para mim: eu estou com medo de respirar o ar fora da minha casa. Quando iniciamos a pesquisa, sabíamos que a vida cotidiana deles estava sendo afetada por isso, mas não sabíamos o quanto estava abalando a alimentação, o sono, o estudo e as brincadeiras”, afirma a psicoterapeuta Caroline Hickman, a segunda autora principal. "E o que não sabíamos é o quanto esses sentimentos estão correlacionados com a ação ou a inação dos governos. Um adolescente britânico me disse: por que eu deveria querer viver num mundo que não se importa com as crianças, nem os animais?" Jovens sem planos de ter filhos Concretamente, o que a comunidade internacional espera atenuar hoje são as consequências dramáticas no clima previstas pelos cientistas para até o fim deste século. É por isso que um dos efeitos mais práticos desta angústia é o abandono dos planos de ter filhos. A brasiliense Valentina Ruas, de 18 anos, é uma dessas jovens que, a princípio, abrirá mão da maternidade. “Eu já não penso em ter filhos. É claro que o futuro é muito incerto, mas toda a vez que eu vejo notícias, artigos, eu penso que não quero pôr uma pessoa no mundo se eu não sei quão incerto esse futuro será. Se já é incerto para mim, imagina para as próximas gerações”, indica a jovem. O estudo concluiu que quase a metade dos entrevistados, 45%, afirmou que os pensamentos negativos em relação às mudanças climáticas afetam o seu cotidiano e 59% se disseram “muito" ou “extremamente" preocupados com a questão. A chamada “ansiedade climática” inclui sentimentos como medo, raiva, rancor, culpa e vergonha, mas também esperança. Valentina tem preferido olhar o problema sob esta perspectiva – e por isso decidiu agir, se engajando no movimento internacional Fridays for Future, fundado por jovens como a sueca Greta Thumberg. "Quando você se junta a um movimento e vê pessoas do seu lado trabalhando para que aquilo não aconteça, é uma coisa que te anima no sentido de dar uma esperança. Ajuda. É muito difícil pensar em algo concreto porque é muito incerto”, insiste. "A gente sabe que se nada for feito contra a crise climática, vai ser muito ruim, mas o quanto será ruim, eu de fato não sei. Então eu tento canalizar esse pensamento para fazer algo que evite esse cenário.” O estudo é lançado a menos de dois meses da próxima Conferência do Clima da ONU, a COP26, que acontecerá em novembro em Glasgow, na Escócia. O evento, que estava previsto para ser realizado em 2020, foi adiado devido à crise sanitária.

날 ▶피해액만 50억, 집단 전세사기 대전의 한 다가구 주택에서 청천벽력 같은 일이 벌어졌다. 입주한 건물이 경매에 넘어갔다는 것인데. 건물 소유주가 수개월 동안 이자를 갚지 않자 건물을 담보로 대출해준 채권자가 근저당권을 행사했다고. 최근 한두 달 새 이런 식으로 가압류되거나, 경매에 넘어간 소유주의 건물은 모두 7채. 세입자만 80여 가구로 추정되는 보증금만 50억 원! 특히 세입자 대부분 20~30대 청년이나 신혼부부라고. 대규모 전세 보증금 피해가 우려되는 가운데, 세입자들은 등기부등본에서 수상한 정황을 발견했다. 등기부등본에 한 대부업체의 이름이 공통으로 발견된 것인데. 7개의 건물 모두 수억 원의 근저당권이나 전세권을 설정했다고. 이미 근저당이 설정되어있는 건물인데 왜 대부업체에서 돈을 빌려줬을까. 알고 보니 이 대부업체는 금융기관으로부터 부실채권을 사들여 1순위 채권자가 된 뒤, 경매 등을 진행해 이익을 거두는 NPL투자를 취급하고 있다고. 세입자들이 보증금을 돌려받을 수 있는 방법은 없을까 에서 취재했다. 밀착 카메라 24시 ▶도로 위 흉기, 불법 화물차 단속 지난 7월 20일, 전라남도 여수에서 내리막길을 내려오던 차량 탁송 화물차가 속도를 줄이지 못하고, 횡단보도로 돌진하는 사고가 발생했다. 사고로 인해 3명이 숨지고, 9명이 다쳐 현재 경찰 수사가 진행 중인데. 문제는 보통 3~4대를 실을 수 있는 최대 중량 5.3t의 탁송 차량에 1대의 차량이 더 실렸다는 것. 경찰은 운전자로부터 탁송 차량을 불법 개조했다는 진술을 확보했는데. 이와 같은 화물차 불법 개조로 인한 사고는 끊임없이 발생하고 있다. 문제는 화물차 사고로 인한 사망률이 70%에 이를 정도로 대형 사고를 유발한다는 것. 이에 경찰청은 교통량이 늘어난 7월, 고속도로에서 화물차를 집중 단속하겠다는 계획을 밝혔다. 불법 화물차 단속 현장에선 사고 확률을 줄이는 최소한의 장치인 후부 안전판 불량, 판스프링과 같은 불법 장치 설치, 과적 등 다양한 위법 사례가 적발됐는데. 도로 위 흉기가 된 화물차. 그 이유는 무엇이고, 사고를 줄일 방법은 없는지 에서 취재했다. 수상한 소문 ▶무더위에는 소용없는 선풍기? ”기온이 35°C를 넘으면 선풍기를 사용하지 마라“ 세계보건기구(WHO)와 미국 질병통제예방센터·영국 국립보건서비스 등 여러 공중보건기관의 조언이다. 주변 기온이 피부 온도(약 35°C)를 초과할 때 선풍기를 사용하면 냉각 효과가 없는 것은 물론 오히려 주변 환경의 열이 신체로 전달돼 체온 상승을 가속할 수 있어서다. 그런데 최근 수상한 소문이 들리고 있다. 기온이 35°C를 넘어도 선풍기를 사용해야 한다는 것! 실제 국제 저널인 'Lancet Planetary Health'에 게재된 논문에서도 이 같은 주장을 확인할 수 있었다. 하지만 예외가 있었으니, 극도로 건조하거나 습도가 높거나 폭염이 극심한 국가는 선풍기 사용이 바람직하지 않다는 것이다. 그렇다면 우리나라는 어떨까? 언젠가부터 여름철 필수품이 된 휴대용 선풍기가 과연 더위를 달래줄 수 있는지 직접 확인해본다. *엠오 사이언스 (MO science-몽땅 온통 과학) 서울 마포구 월드컵북로 361 DMC이안상암 2단지 2101호 ☏ 02-555-0122 빅데이터 랭킹 ▶코로나 19 방역 수칙 위반 TOP3 최근 매일 천여 명이 넘는 코로나 19 확진자가 발생하며 4차 대유행 확산세가 좀처럼 진정되지 않고 있다. 이에 비수도권도 사회적 거리두기가 격상되고 전국 곳곳에서 위반 사례가 속출했는데. 지난 7월 19일, 해남의 유명 사찰 소속 스님들이 모여 다 함께 음주를 즐긴 사진이 화제가 되었다. 5인 이상 집합금지였지만 방역수칙을 어기고 7명의 스님이 음주를 했던 것. 그뿐만 아니라 단속을 피해 불법 유흥주점에서 음주를 즐기는 사람들도 적발되었는데. 또한 방역수칙을 무시하며 마스크 착용을 거부하고 폭언에, 폭력까지 행사하는 손님들로 인한 자영업자의 피해도 늘어나고 있다. 코로나19 방역수칙 위반은 물론, 사회에 큰 위협이 되는 사건을 으로 살펴본다. 서울시 ⑪-37 ▶안심장비로 안전하게! 잊을 만하면 이슈 되는 1인 가구 여성을 노리는 범죄! 2019년 기준, 국민의 30%가 1인 가구인 지금, 혼자 있는 여성을 노린 주거침입 등의 범죄는 계속해서 증가하고 있다. 실제로 경찰청의 자료에 따르면 최근 5년 동안 주거침입 범죄는 계속해서 증가하고 있는데... 5년 만에 56%가 넘게 증가했다는 것. 이에 따라, 여성들의 불안감 해소와 범죄 예방을 위해 서울시에서는 여성 1인 가구를 위한 ‘안심장비지원사업'을 운영 중이라고 한다. 여성 1인 가구에 CCTV, 현관문 이중 잠금장치 등의 장비를 지원하는 것이 그 내용. 이런 안심장비지원사업은 여성 1인 가구에만 한정되는 것이 아니다. 범죄 예방 및 위급 상황에 대비할 수 있도록 여성 1인 점포에도 CCTV, 무선 비상벨 등의 안심장비를 지원하고 있다는데! 여성 1인 가구, 여성 1인 점포라면 지원받을 수 있다는 안전 정책을 알아본다. 건강 시그널 ▶건강하게 다이어트 하기 비만은 평소 일상생활에 적잖은 불편함을 줘 삶의 질을 떨어뜨리고, 장기적으로 각종 만성질환의 발병 위험을 높일 수 있다. 게다가 몸에 축적된 지방 조직은 염증 물질을 분출하고, 체내 면역 세포의 수를 감소 시켜 면역력을 낮춘다. 현재 마라톤 선수로 활동하고 있는 김희연 씨(37세). 어릴 적부터 운동을 했던 희연 씨는 늘 45kg의 몸무게를 유지하며 날씬하고 탄탄한 몸매를 갖고 있었다. 그러던 중 20대에 들어서 운동에 슬럼프가 오고, 출산과 육아를 하며 20kg가 찌고 말았다. 살이 찌면서 담낭관에 결석이 생기는 담석증까지 생겼는데. 그러던 중 그녀의 건강을 염려하는 가족들의 모습을 보고 다이어트를 결심한 그녀. 마라톤 선수로 활동하던 남편과 함께 운동을 시작한 그녀는 총 17kg를 감량했다. 또한 잊고 있었던 마라톤 선수의 꿈도 다시 찾았다는데. 그녀가 다이어트에 성공할 수 있었던 특급 비법을 에서 알아본다. *분당21세기의원 김한수 내과 전문의 주소 : 경기 성남시 분당구 서현로321번길 10 (서현동) ☏ 031-703-1021 *jm가정의학과의원 박서희 가정의학과 전문의 주소 : 서울특별시 서초구 서초중앙로24길 27 ☏ 02-534-2090 *하정헌 단국대학교 식품영양학과 교수

The historical development of the modern, capitalist world economy systematically bound colonisers and colonised into unequal relationships of extraction, colonisation and dispossession over the past 500 years and more. Material realities are central to understanding what we mean by ‘colonisation' - of materials, life and labour. Colonialism occupied land and turned people and nature into human and natural resources for a singular aim – the accumulation of capital. Historical processes of extraction, dispossession, replacement and extinction drove colonisation and ecological imperialism as structural imperatives of modern capitalism. Land-grabbing, wars and slavery connect with the extensive spread of commercial monocultures as economic structures displacing and threatening much of the world's human biological and cultural life with extinction. Law and conservation have colluded in these colonising processes – ‘emptying' lands and displacing or dispossessing indigenous nature and people, in order that material resources can continue to be extracted, monetised and mobilised for the accumulation of capital.       Readings Acuna-Soto et al (2002) Megadrought and Megadeath in 16th Century Mexico Emerging Infectious Disease 8(4): 360–362.

To what extent might it be said that the histories of empire and colonialism depend on the displacement and dispossession of indigenous communities and the erasure of their prior access to the environment? Explore and discuss the ‘colonial' origins of environmental resource use in the world today, using one specific example er: land, forest, mineral ore, fossil fuel, a particular a crop or type of livestock, or the ‘atmospheric commons' What environmental factors are relevant in accounting for historical processes of imperial and colonial extraction and accumulation?
