Human biomonitoring and policy making
This report is based on the seminar “Human biomonitoring (HBM) as a tool in policy making towards consumer safety” directed towards professionals involved in HBM programs, legislators and other policy-makers, risk assessors as well as researchers from universities and other higher educational institutions. It was organized by the Swedish National Food Agency in collaboration with the Norwegian Food Safety Authority, the Norwegian Institute of Public Health, the University of Iceland, and Karolinska Institute, Sweden. Experts from Europe, USA, and Canada within the field of HBM participated. It was agreed that HBM provides a powerful tool in policy making towards consumer safety. It was also concluded that there is interest to develop the Nordic collaborative efforts within the area of HBM and that there would, unquestionably, be benefits from this in terms of harmonization.
Proverbs Are Never Neutral
This book examines how proverbs can carry ethnonyms and contradictory oppositions in everyday speech, and interrogates the belief that such nuances are national in nature by comparing across languages and cultures. The authors bring together linguistic terms and typologies from Slavonic, Germanic, Romance, Finno-Ugric and Somali proverbs (with their English parallels) to enrich contrastive paremiology. The book pushes the thematic boundaries of the paremiological minima of languages by drawing on fields including sociolinguistics, and it will be of interest to students and scholars of cultural linguistics, comparative cultural studies, sociolinguistics, social identity, anthropology, cognitive semiotics, and the history of words and concepts.
Kurgan: Theoretical Aspects. Part I.
The work “Kurgan: theoretical aspects” analyzes the latest scientific ideas about the theoretical problems of the burial tradition of the kurgan type. The first part of the book analyzes the assumptions about the origin of the term “kurgan”, as well as the problem of dating and hypotheses about the area of origin of the kurgan burial tradition at the junction of Southern and Northern Eurasia at the end of the Chalcolithic and the beginning of the Bronze Age.
Human biomonitoring at food authorities
Human biomonitoring (HBM) can be defined as the systematic standardized measurement of a concentration of a substance or its metabolites in human tissues and is an important tool in evaluating exposure to chemicals. This report maps HBM studies performed at or initiated by food safety authorities in the Nordic countries and discuss problems and options for further work. The report shows that only few studies have been performed and it differs among the countries. Reasons for this could be that sampling blood and urine is demanding, there are ethical and privacy issues and analytical costs are high. More cooperation with researchers and between countries is needed. Food safety authorities have special responsibilities in cases of emergencies and disasters. In these cases HBM provides a good tool for exposure measurement but cooperation and infrastructure should be established beforehand.
Advances in Experimental and Genetic Mineralogy
This book presents fundamental experimental data and experiment-based theoretical conclusions on, as well as physico-chemical models of, the natural hydrothermal, metasomatic, metamorphic, magmatic and ore-producing processes in the Earth’s crust, upper mantle, transition zone and lower mantle. The topics discussed concern the interactions of oil and aqueous fluids as revealed by aqueous-hydrocarbonic inclusions in synthetic quartz and applied to the natural evolution of oil; determining the solubility and inter-phase partitioning of trace and strategic elements and their components; and experimentally validating physico-chemical mechanisms in the ultrabasic-basic evolution of deep-mantle ...
Tumuli and Megaliths in Eurasia
Tumuli and megaliths mark the landscape of Eurasia and are rich in data, mystery, and legends. Books about them are often monographic or have a local range. This collection of essays highlights and brings together 74 authors from 16 countries, from Portugal to Japan and Indonesia. They offer a diversity of regional backgrounds, theoretical perspectives, and scientific approaches relevant to anyone working in history, archaeology, anthropology, and heritage. Densely illustrated and written in a way that is understandable to anyone, it is easily accessible to students, professors, researchers, and cultural or heritage managers. It will also attract anyone interested in past cultures, early religions, and ancient architecture. Its content makes it a mandatory book for the central and specialized libraries of any university, I&D centre, museum or visiting centre about this and other related issues.

MOSCOU - ANNEAU D'OR 2015/2016 Petit Futé
Ce guide est le fruit de collaborations multiples, recueil des bonnes adresses de l'équipe moscovite du Petit Futé, fruit d'amitiés et de liens noués au gré des avions et des trains (dont le Paris-Moscou, -évidemment!-, et le Transibérien!), tant il est vrai que ce pays, la Russie suscite la passion. C'est l'histoire d'un guide cent fois repris et recommencé, tout changeant très vite au pays du business, et de la nouvelle économie, plus libérale que les Etats-Unis l'ont jamais été. Tantôt travaillé à grands gestes, profondément remodelé (les parties shopping, les hôtels, les restaurants), tantôt travaillé au petit point, (les balades, les musées), ce guide rend les contrastes de cette ville, mouvante et plurielle. Une quatrième édition se doit d'être encore meilleure, plus précise, plus nourrie. De nombreuses adresses ont disparu, de nouvelles sont apparues, mais l'âme russe préside toujours à ce livre. Comment découvrir cette ville aux multiples facettes, où l'on visite toujours le mausolée de Lénine, où la munificence des tsars brille à la lumière des coupoles restaurées, dont les ors vous aveuglent dans le soleil de l'été?
