Sitting Is Not the New Smoking, Contrary to Popular MythDaniel_Dyer
The belief that “sitting is the new smoking” has spread like wildfire in many media outlets. Despite what countless newspaper articles have touted in recent years, sitting pales in comparison to the risks associated with smoking. This is the consensus formed by an international team of researchers who published their 2018 study in the American Journal of Public Health.

Efficient ventilation systems may improve cases of sick building syndromeAngel_Gregoire
Indoor air pollution is a large environmental problem throughout the world. The US Consumer Product Safety Commission notes that scientific evidence indicating that indoor air pollution may be worse than outdoor air pollution is now more available.
Air pollution is a familiar environmental health hazard. We know what we’re looking at
when brown haze settles over a city, exhaust billows across a busy highway, or a plume
rises from a smokestack. Some air pollution is not seen, but its pungent smell alerts you.
It is a major threat to global health and prosperity. Air pollution, in all forms, is responsible
for more than 6.5 million deaths each year globally, a number that has increased over the
past two decades.
Air pollution is a mix of hazardous substances from both human-made and natural sources.
Vehicle emissions, fuel oils and natural gas to heat homes, by-products of manufacturing
and power generation, particularly coal-fueled power plants, and fumes from chemical
production are the primary sources of human-made air pollution.
Nature releases hazardous substances into the air, such as smoke from wildfires, which are
often caused by people; ash and gases from volcanic eruptions; and gases, like methane,
which are emitted from decomposing organic matter in soils.

Richard's aventures in two entangled wonderlandsRichard Gill
Since the loophole-free Bell experiments of 2020 and the Nobel prizes in physics of 2022, critics of Bell's work have retreated to the fortress of super-determinism. Now, super-determinism is a derogatory word - it just means "determinism". Palmer, Hance and Hossenfelder argue that quantum mechanics and determinism are not incompatible, using a sophisticated mathematical construction based on a subtle thinning of allowed states and measurements in quantum mechanics, such that what is left appears to make Bell's argument fail, without altering the empirical predictions of quantum mechanics. I think however that it is a smoke screen, and the slogan "lost in math" comes to my mind. I will discuss some other recent disproofs of Bell's theorem using the language of causality based on causal graphs. Causal thinking is also central to law and justice. I will mention surprising connections to my work on serial killer nurse cases, in particular the Dutch case of Lucia de Berk and the current UK case of Lucy Letby.

Extrachromosomal Inheritance
Slide 2: Introduction to Extrachromosomal Inheritance
Definition: Extrachromosomal inheritance refers to the transmission of genetic material that is not found within the nucleus.
Key Components: Involves genes located in mitochondria, chloroplasts, and plasmids.
Slide 3: Mitochondrial Inheritance
Mitochondria: Organelles responsible for energy production.
Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA): Circular DNA molecule found in mitochondria.
Inheritance Pattern: Maternally inherited, meaning it is passed from mothers to all their offspring.
Diseases: Examples include Leber’s hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON) and mitochondrial myopathy.
Slide 4: Chloroplast Inheritance
Chloroplasts: Organelles responsible for photosynthesis in plants.
Chloroplast DNA (cpDNA): Circular DNA molecule found in chloroplasts.
Inheritance Pattern: Often maternally inherited in most plants, but can vary in some species.
Examples: Variegation in plants, where leaf color patterns are determined by chloroplast DNA.
Slide 5: Plasmid Inheritance
Plasmids: Small, circular DNA molecules found in bacteria and some eukaryotes.
Features: Can carry antibiotic resistance genes and can be transferred between cells through processes like conjugation.
Significance: Important in biotechnology for gene cloning and genetic engineering.
Slide 6: Mechanisms of Extrachromosomal Inheritance
Non-Mendelian Patterns: Do not follow Mendel’s laws of inheritance.
Cytoplasmic Segregation: During cell division, organelles like mitochondria and chloroplasts are randomly distributed to daughter cells.
Heteroplasmy: Presence of more than one type of organellar genome within a cell, leading to variation in expression.
Slide 7: Examples of Extrachromosomal Inheritance
Four O’clock Plant (Mirabilis jalapa): Shows variegated leaves due to different cpDNA in leaf cells.
Petite Mutants in Yeast: Result from mutations in mitochondrial DNA affecting respiration.
Slide 8: Importance of Extrachromosomal Inheritance

Observation of Io’s Resurfacing via Plume Deposition Using Ground-based Adapt...Sérgio Sacani
Since volcanic activity was first discovered on Io from Voyager images in 1979, changes
on Io’s surface have been monitored from both spacecraft and ground-based telescopes.
Here, we present the highest spatial resolution images of Io ever obtained from a groundbased telescope. These images, acquired by the SHARK-VIS instrument on the Large
Binocular Telescope, show evidence of a major resurfacing event on Io’s trailing hemisphere. When compared to the most recent spacecraft images, the SHARK-VIS images
show that a plume deposit from a powerful eruption at Pillan Patera has covered part
of the long-lived Pele plume deposit. Although this type of resurfacing event may be common on Io, few have been detected due to the rarity of spacecraft visits and the previously low spatial resolution available from Earth-based telescopes. The SHARK-VIS instrument ushers in a new era of high resolution imaging of Io’s surface using adaptive
optics at visible wavelengths.
Professional air quality monitoring systems provide immediate, on-site data for analysis, compliance, and decision-making.
Monitor common gases, weather parameters, particulates.
Multi-source connectivity as the driver of solar wind variability in the heli...Sérgio Sacani
The ambient solar wind that flls the heliosphere originates from multiple
sources in the solar corona and is highly structured. It is often described
as high-speed, relatively homogeneous, plasma streams from coronal
holes and slow-speed, highly variable, streams whose source regions are
under debate. A key goal of ESA/NASA’s Solar Orbiter mission is to identify
solar wind sources and understand what drives the complexity seen in the
heliosphere. By combining magnetic feld modelling and spectroscopic
techniques with high-resolution observations and measurements, we show
that the solar wind variability detected in situ by Solar Orbiter in March
2022 is driven by spatio-temporal changes in the magnetic connectivity to
multiple sources in the solar atmosphere. The magnetic feld footpoints
connected to the spacecraft moved from the boundaries of a coronal hole
to one active region (12961) and then across to another region (12957). This
is refected in the in situ measurements, which show the transition from fast
to highly Alfvénic then to slow solar wind that is disrupted by the arrival of
a coronal mass ejection. Our results describe solar wind variability at 0.5 au
but are applicable to near-Earth observatories.
2. What is indoor air quality ?
What causes indoor air pollution ?
Impact on health.
Interventions to reduce the burden of disease
from SFU
3. INDOOR AIR QUALITY
Indoor air quality (IAQ) is
the air quality within and around
buildings and structures.
IAQ is known to affect the
health, comfort and well-being of
building occupants.
Poor indoor air quality has been
linked to sick building syndrome,
reduced productivity and
impaired learning in schools.
4. Main source of indoor air
pollution
Solid fuels burned in inefficient and highly
polluting stoves for cooking and heating.
Solid fuels: wood, animal dung, charcoal, crop
wastes and coal.
The resulting household air pollution led to more
than 4 million premature deaths among children
and adults in 2012.
Tobacco smoke.
5. Impact on health
3.8 million people a year die prematurely from illness
attributable to the household air pollution caused by the
inefficient use of solid fuels and kerosene for cooking.
27% are due to pneumonia,
27% from ischaemic heart disease,
20% from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD),
18% from stroke,
8% from lung cancer.
6. Other outcomes such as tuberculosis, asthma,
cataracts, still birth, low birth weight, perinatal
death and also aero-digestive tract cancer.
7. Pneumonia
Exposure to household air pollution almost
doubles the risk for childhood pneumonia and is
responsible for 45% of all pneumonia deaths in
children less than 5 years old.
Household air pollution is also risk for acute
lower respiratory infections (pneumonia) in
adults, and contributes to 28% of all adult deaths
to pneumonia.
8.
9.
10. ischaemic heart disease
Approximately 11% of all
deaths due to ischaemic heart
disease, accounting for over a
million premature deaths
annually, can be attributed to
exposure to household air
pollution.
11. chronic obstructive
pulmonary disease (COPD)
Women exposed to high levels of indoor smoke
are more than twice as likely to suffer from
COPD than women who use cleaner fuels and
technologies.
Among men (who already have a heightened risk
of COPD due to their higher rates of smoking),
exposure to household air pollution nearly
doubles that risk.
17. Carbon

Cooking smoke
Tobacco smoke
(active and
passive)
Reduced oxygen
delivery to placenta.
Particulate matters
and other
pollutants.
Reduced maternal
lung function and
other lung diseases.
Reduced oxygen
supply to placenta.
Reduced nutritional
intake and reduced
nutritional delivery
to the foetus.
Impaired foetal
growth,
increased risk of
still birth,
reduced birth
weight, and
other adverse
pregnancy
outcomes.
Possible mechanisms by which exposure to solid fuel smoke and tobacco smoke might
cause adverse pregnancy outcomes
19. Interventions to reduce the
burden of disease from SFU
behavioural modifications to reduce exposure
(e.g. encouraging mothers to keep their young
babies away from the fire)
household changes to improve ventilation (e.g.
increasing the number of window openings in
the kitchen, providing gaps between the roof and
walls, or moving the stove out of the living area)
20. improvements to cooking stoves (e.g. ventilation
by flues, hoods or chimneys, or increases in
combustion efficiency - nearly all pollutants
damaging to health are products of incomplete
combustion).
interventions to enable people to use higher-
quality, lower-emission liquid or gaseous fuels
(e.g. petroleum-based kerosene and liquid
petroleum gas, or biomass-based alcohol and
bio-gas).
