Adolf Hitler, Josef Stalin, Pol Pot, Slobodan Milosevic and Vladimir Putin: they are the leaders at the top of authoritarian, dictatorial and violent states. Who are they and what is their role in the perpetration of mass atrocities? In this session we discuss these questions with Dr. Maartje Weerdesteijn from VU University who studied the role of dictators in the perpetration of mass atrocities and the manner in which the international community can potentially mitigate these crimes. The episode starts with a discussion highlighting that democratically chosen leaders are not necessarily less dangerous than dictatorial ones.

Amy Vu is the State Extension Entomologist for the State of Florida. She works out of the University Of Florida's Honey Bee Research Lab, headed by Dr. Jamie Ellis. As part of the Research Lab she is involved in the many project ongoing there, including The Bee College, The Master Beekeeper programs and Bee Learning courses. She also works closely with the migratory beekeepers who spend winters in Florida, bringing with them about a million colonies each fall. This, certainly is one of the reasons Florida is always in the top ten honey producing states in the US. Another part of her activities is working with Dr. Ellis on the Podcast they produce, Two Bees And A Pod. Another activity is working with the honey sources Florida provides, some of which, unfortunately, are not indigenous, but invasive. Chinese Tallow trees are a good example, and her work with this problem, develping programs that manage the problem plants while, keeping it in check so it doesn't run amuck and still is useful to beekeepers.

Soumitra Pathare trained as a psychiatrist at Seth G S Medical College & KEM Hospital Mumbai and St Thomas' Hospital, London. He has a doctoral degree from VU University, Amsterdam and is a Member of The Royal College of Psychiatrists, United Kingdom.     Dr. Pathare is based in Pune, India and is the director of the Centre for Mental Health Law and Policy at the Indian Law Society.  His main area of work concentrates on mental health policy, legislation and human rights. Soumitra has worked as a consultant to many countries reforming their mental health policies and laws. As will be described in this interview, Dr. Pathare has been affiliated with the World Health Organization's commitment to equip and train mental health practitioners throughout the world about the importance of human rights.In this interview, Dr. Pathare will help to make the distinction between “civil or constitutional rights” and “human rights.”  In essence, human rights are those afforded all people. They are universal and inviolable and not dependent upon the country in which you live.    He will walk us through the establishment of the United Nations Declaration of Human Rights in 1948 and how, over the decades, there have been “elaborations” of that initial effort to focus on particular human needs (e.g., rights of children, rights of women, elimination of racism and discrimination, etc.).  It was only recently (2006), that the UN promoted the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) which is a landmark human rights treaty among countries around the world to protect the fundamental rights of all persons with disabilities.The World Health Organization (WHO) has created global initiative, called Quality Rights to transform the way mental health care is delivered and to change attitudes toward people with psychosocial, intellectual, and cognitive disabilities.  Their goal is to have all the countries in the world implement QR by 2030, but  the US hasn't even ratified the CPRD. Dr. Pathare will talk about how Quality Rights represents a movement away from a bio-medical approach to mental illness to a recovery approach which values the ability of people to make choices.  Further it is a movement away from a definition of wellness that is defined by “symptom reduction”  toward the ability to fully participate in community. Links to the studies discussed in the interviewAssertive community treatment for the severely mentally ill in West LambethTom Craig and Soumitra Pathare, Advances in Psychiatric Treatment (1997) vol 3, pp. 111-118.Public Education for Community Care:  A New Approach.The British journal of psychiatry:  the journal of medical science.  May 1996.  Pp. 441 – 447.Soumitra Pathare, Julian Leff, Geoffrey Wolff, Thomas K J Craig

As virologists around the world race to investigate the latest SARS CoV2 variant of concern, the UN's World AIDS Day this week reminds us of the other global pandemic raging for some 40 years. Much of the work achieved over the last two years on SARS CoV2 has been achieved because of the investment made into, and the understanding gained from, HIV research over the last two decades. But to what further extent do they overlap in the population? There is a theory that the omicron variant, displaying so very many mutations compared to previous variants, might well have been incubated in a person suffering from a compromised immune system, possibly due to HIV, in whom the covid virus was able to linger longer than in fitter individuals. Prof. Penny Moore, of South Africa's National Centre for Infectious Disease and Witwatersrand University in Johannesburg, is one of many virologists who transferred from HIV to coronavirus research, and hers, like hundreds of labs around the world, is racing to clone the parts of the omicron virus to enable research into its transmissibility and severity as soon as possible. She describes to Vic what we yet know and what we don't about it, and also how it is high time to bring the same sense of urgency back to HIV research. Nottingham University's Prof. Jonathan Ball is another virologist who suddenly transferred experience over to coronaviruses early on. He outlines something of what is really happening when viruses mutate, and how the arms race between host and invader can play out. Our regular Inside Science listener will be interested to know that this week Merlin Sheldrake was awarded the Royal Society's Science Book Prize, sponsored by Insight Investment, and the hefty cheque that accompanies it, for his book Entangled Life: How Fungi Make Our Worlds, Change Our Minds and Shape Our Futures. Merlin is one of several high profile advisors to something called the Society for the Protection of Underground Networks - SPUN. They have received funding recently to begin an international mission to map the world's subterranean fungal mycelial networks, including the infamous Wood Wide Web. SPUN Co-Founder Prof. Toby Kiers of VU University in Amsterdam tells Vic about the need to preserve, map and cherish this unseen yet essential part of the global ecosystem. And could rising sea levels paradoxically be used to help fight climate change? Researchers up in St Andrews took Vic for a squelch about the salt marshes reclaimed recently by the sea in an estuary near Grangemouth, where flora and fauna are thriving just a few years since the seas were allowed back in. Finally, you may have thought that wasps eat meat whereas bees eat honey and nectar. But this week we learned that some bees eat meat, preserving it in honeycombs to feed young and augment their own nutrition. Intrepid field entomologist Laura Figueroa of Cornell University describes to Vic her work in the jungle with Vulture Bees, social bees that over evolutionary time seem to have rescinded their vegetarian instincts and now are happy to enjoy a bit of “chicken on the side”. Laura found that they can digest their flesh because of big adjustments to their gut microbes, including acid-loving bacteria also found in other carnivorous animals.

His 2011 book Willpower: Rediscovering the Greatest Human Strength (with John Tierney) was a New York Times bestseller, and he has appeared on several television shows. In Part 2 of this episode, Roy and I discuss overcoming the power of Bad, negativity bias, and negative impact on wellbeing. We talk about why, while we live better today than ever before in history, we're full of more anxiety and worry than ever. To respond to the power of Bad, Roy suggests that we look for the positive things in life. He shares the power of living a low-Bad diet, not trying to be perfect, and focusing instead on being good enough. We also discuss the importance of focusing on the big picture.   “Don't try to be perfect. Perfection is associated with all sorts of mental illnesses and anxieties and problems.

Today, Roy joins me to talk about willpower. We explore willpower, what it is, and why it matters. We discuss how we can strengthen our self-control, and we note the impact of stress on decision-making. We discuss how when we use self-control to establish good habits and routines, our lives can run smoothly on autopilot, which manages the depletion of energy. We note the importance of sleep for the body, mind, and self-control. We also talk about how to live in the present while respecting the future.   “The people who go through life just trying to improve a little bit, they often do the best.”– Roy F.

Roy F. Baumeister is one of the world's most prolific and influential psychologists. He has published well over 500 scientific articles and more than 30 books. In 2013, he received the highest award given by the Association for Psychological Science, the William James Fellow Award, in recognition of his lifetime achievements.  He is currently the Eppes Eminent Scholar and a professor of psychology at Florida State University, and he holds distinguished visiting professorships at King Abdulaziz University in Saudi Arabia and VU University of Amsterdam in the Netherlands. His 2011 book Willpower: Rediscovering the Greatest Human Strength (with John Tierney) was a New York Times bestseller, and he has appeared on several television shows.   Today, Roy joins me to talk about willpower. We explore willpower, what it is, and why it matters. We discuss how we can strengthen our self-control, and we note the impact of stress on decision-making. We discuss how, when we use self-control to establish good habits and routines, our lives can run smoothly on autopilot, which manages the depletion of energy. We note the importance of sleep for the body, mind, and self-control. We also talk about how to live in the present while respecting the future.   “The people who go through life just trying to improve a little bit, they often do the best.” - Roy F. Baumeister     This week on In the Doctor's Chair What is willpower The importance of self-control How to strengthen your self-control The benefits of routine The importance of sleep   In the Doctor's Chair  Thanks for listening to In the Doctor's Chair, the show where you'll hear conversations that share life lessons, health habits, and leadership practices that focus on positive psychology, lifestyle medicine, and ways for you to live with more vitality.

Prima di tutto Keti Ogata è un amico di lunga data. Ci conosciamo dai primi anni '90 e ne abbiamo passate un po' insieme: liceo, vacanze, musica, università... Kei però è (anche) un Geologo, con un Dottorato di Ricerca ed un incarico di insegnamento alla Facoltà di Geologia dell'Unversità di Napoli, Federico II. È specializzato in Geologia strutturale ed in Stratigrafia. Prima di arrivare a Napoli è passato da Parma, ha fatto una capatina alle Isole Svalbard ed ha insegnato anche in Olanda, alla Vu University di Amsterdam. Insieme parliamo del suo percorso, della ricerca, dell'applicazione di modelli 3D (mesh piuttosto che nuvole di punti) alla geomeccanica, dell'insegnamento e della "guerra dei paper". Alla fine ci siamo anche accordati per fare qualche attività di ricerca insieme nell'Appennino Emiliano.

September 10, 2010 War Crimes Research Symposium Frederick K. Cox International Law Center Case Western Reserve University School of Law Moderator: Prof. Tawia Ansah, Visiting Professor, Case Western Reserve University School of Law Speakers: Prof. Wouter Werner, VU University, Amsterdam Prof. Susan Tiefenbrun, Thomas Jefferson School of Law Summary: Traditionally "Lawfare" was defined as "a strategy of using—or misusing—law as a substitute for traditional military means to achieve an operational objective." But lately, commentators and governments have applied the concept to International Criminal Tribunals, the defense counsel's tactics challenging the detention of al Qaeda suspects in Guantanamo Bay, and as indicated in the quote above to the controversial Goldstone Commission Report. This symposium and Experts Meeting, featuring two-dozen leading academics, practitioners, and former government officials from all sides of the political spectrum, will examine the usefulness and appropriate application of the "Lawfare" concept.

Professor Gert Ossenkoppele from VU University Medical Center talks to ecancer TV about the treatment of acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) in elderly patients. Professor Ossenkoppele notes that standard treatment for elderly patients has mostly stayed the same in the last 30 years. Thus there is an urgent medical need for improvements in this patient group. In contrast, improvements have been made in treatments for younger patients, to whom more intensive treatments can be given. Many promising drugs interfering with the signal transduction pathways of AML cells are currently in phase I and II clinical trials, for example, trials involving gemtuzumab, a monoclonal antibody against anti-CD33. Data with tipifarnib, a farnesyltransferase inhibitor, are also outlined. Professor Ossenkoppele notes that epigenetic modulation of AML cells provides another potential avenue of treatment, with decitabine showing a survival benefit in elderly patients, and the potential place of this drug in therapy is addressed. Furthermore, the promise of allogenic stem cell transfers in the elderly using a reduced intensity conditioning regimen is outlined. Molecular prognostic tools could also be used to help treatment decision-making in older patients.

Dr Johannes Burg explains that cancer survivors who exercise regularly live longer. There is a growing body of evidence which suggests that regular exercise is beneficial in terms of cancer prevention, rehabilitation after cancer and in terms of patient survival. Dr Burg discusses this and explains the need for randomised trials to evaluate this more thoroughly.

An interview with Lietaert Peerbolte, Professor of New Testament Studies, VU University and Jan Krans, Professor of New Testament studies, VU University. The codex sinaiticus of the 4th century, or King James bible, can we describe as the first bible we have. But was there ever something like an original text of the new testament? Individual books, letters and collections were compiled to one bible in a later stadium. The new testament is therefore a scholarly reproduction from several manuscripts. Textual criticism is changed trough the ages from undoing the bible from textual corruptions to interpreting textual changes as having their historical value of their own, reflecting the liturgical practice of several communities through the ages. 'The living text of the gospels'.
