The Covid-19 pandemic changed the world. Indeed a real race took place worldwide between SARS-CoV-2 on the one hand and researchers on the other – especially those specializing in messenger RNA vaccines. Four years after its emergence, the pandemic is not over, but some decisive battles have been won, thanks to the great success of mRNA vaccines. The Marathon of The Messenger presents the history of these mRNA vaccines, combining a scientific background with historical and economic perspectives. It appears that an important page in the history of these new vaccines was written in Europe, thanks to the crucial work of German and French scientists; this effort began in 1993 and continues to ...
This is the most balanced and well-reasoned investigation available into why people believe today’s highly divisive conspiracy theories, from COVID and QAnon to 5G scares, fake news and more. Through their part in some huge controversies, conspiracy theorists are being branded the Number One Enemies of our times – the new heretics. They are seen to threaten the very fabric of modern society, spreading doubts and fears that result in Washington Capitol invasions, transmission mast burnings or the spread of anti-vaxx material. Yet the theorists prefer to call themselves "truth seekers" and see the mainstream establishment as the real disruptor, treating its increasingly harsh censorship as...
The global financial crisis has provided an important opportunity to revisit debates about post-socialist transition and the relative success of different reform paths. Post-communist Central and Eastern Europe (CEECs) in particular show resilience in the wake of the international crisis with a diverse range of economic transformations. Transformation and Crisis in Central and Eastern Europe offers an in depth analysis of a diverse range of countries, including Poland, Hungary, Russia, Ukraine, Czech Republic and Slovakia. This volume assesses each country’s institutional transformations, geopolitical policies, and local adaptations that have led them down divergent post-communist paths. C...
A lie of omission—withholding needed information to correct a false belief. There is a sharp and more hostile divide emerging in the United States. The shift is documented by various polls, and the speed of the change is alarming. There are certainly contributing factors, but one factor is unique to the contemporary era: receiving the majority of our information via social media experiences. Media algorithms, and to some extent overt censorship, serve users curated content that is unlike what their neighbors receive. Lies of Omission brings together various perspectives on the causes and effects of the divided information streams. Psychology and neuroscience, combined with some historical ...
Is it not within the realm of possibility for the students, together with the department faculty and outreach healthcare workers, to embrace the duty of safeguarding the health of our villagers? This book provides an opportunity to select and conduct feasible research on locally prevalent problems. The medical students are grateful to be supported by their mentor and an outreach team of healthcare workers. The Family Adoption Program (FAP), as introduced by the National Medical Commission (NMC), provides a switch from traditional interaction with rural families to an opportunity for developing interpersonal communication skills during individual and group interaction with the villagers. This...
A COP 26 terminou e os líderes mundiais não cumpriram as promessas feitas em Paris 2015. Houve alguma negociação mas não a suficiente para a crise que se instalou e vai continuar. Estamos a falar de Crises Convergentes: esta pandemia e as que podem aparecer, porque esta foi o WAKE UP CALL do Antropoceno com a entrada dos animais selvagens no meio urbano, as catástrofes climáticas cada vez mais frequentes e mais graves, o aumento da temperatura da Terra e todas as alterações sociais e económicas que daí advém. É necessário algo maior, um Painel Global (cientistas, epidemiologistas, matemáticos, meteorologistas, economistas, membros de todos os Países, Pobres e Ricos, membros da ONU e da OMS) a quem as nações reportem os seus resultados sobre os acordos e possam sofrer sanções. Este Painel funciona sempre, como um Observatório, 24 horas por dia, com a emergência a que a situação do Planeta obriga. É preciso que exista um Serviço Nacional de Saúde em cada País. O Mundo precisa de ser muito mais igual para salvar o Planeta. Ana Maria Aleixo
Was ist SARS-CoV-2? Was ist ein Virus? Was ist eine Infektion? Wie stellt man eine Infektion fest? Was sind Fälle? Was ist ein PCR-Test und was stellt er fest? Was ist eigentlich Hygiene? Was kann jeder ohne Freiheitseinschränkung tun, um sich und anderen zu helfen? Angst, "Lockdown" und Isolation - muss das alles sein? Nein, es muss nicht sein: Der propagierte "Kampf" gegen den "Feind", das Virus ist ungenügend und zu ersetzen durch besonnenes Handeln für die Menschen, für ihre Würde, für ihre Gesundheit, für ihre Freiheit und für ihre Selbstbestimmung. Diese Untersuchung liefert Antworten auf essentielle Fragen für Rechtsanwendung zugunsten von Leben, Freiheit und Demokratie.
