1. Rapid Urbanisation and Climate Change In cities in the developing world, rapid urbanisation and climate change are combining to dramatically increase exposure to flood risk among the poorest and most vulnerable (Jha et al, 2012). This is because informal settlements consistently form in high flood-risk areas alongside rivers and other natural drainage paths (Parikh et al, 2012) and because inad

The human body is like a machine where the different components (e.g. bones, muscles, ligaments and tendons) are mechanically connected. The musculoskeletal system is subjected to mechanical forces created by the earth's gravity and body movements. These forces largely determine tissue development, growth and health through an intricate feed-back system where cells within the tissue can sense thei

– Scratching the Surface In the Spotlight: Using Nature-based Solutions for Climate AdaptationUrban areas are and will be severely hit by the effects of climate change where the specific impacts on each city will depend on the actual changes in climate experienced. Sudden effects include extreme weather events such as flooding, and incremental long-term effects could be warmer summers. By explorin

Pancreatic cancer is one of the most severe cancers and is predicted to rise up to the number two cancer killer by 2030. The ineffective treatment options available and that the cancer is silent until very late in its course are the main reasons for the poor outcome of the disease. Surgery is the only curative option but only available for 10-15 % of the patients, but even then many relapse due to

Recent work applying multidimentional coherent electronic spectroscopy at dilute samples in the gas phase is reviewed. The development of refined phase cycling approaches with improved sensitivity has opened up new opportunities to probe even dilute gas-phase samples. In this context, first results of two-dimensional spectroscopy performed at doped helium droplets reveal the femtosecond dynamics u

Inflammation caused by the accumulation of oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL) in the arterial wall is a key factor in the development of atherosclerosis. Accumulating evidence suggests that adaptive immune responses to oxLDL are of major importance in regulating the inflammatory response, and that humoral immunity largely has a protective effect in this process. This concept is supported by

Priority effects occur when a species or genotype with earlier arrival has an advantage such that its relative abundance in the community or population is increased compared with later-arriving species. Few studies have dealt with this concept in the context of within-species competition. Skeletonema marinoi is a marine diatom that shows a high degree of genetic differentiation between populations

Aims: Falls often result in soft tissue injuries, dislocations, fractures, longstanding pain and reduced quality of life. Therefore, fall preventive programmes have been developed. Methods: In this review, we evaluate programmes that in randomized controlled trials (RCT) have been shown with fall reducing effect. Results: Physical exercise that includes several training modalities, especially bala

The accumulation of empirical evidence that outward-oriented developing countries have generally performed better than inward-oriented ones in terms of growth, industrialisation, job creation and other macroeconomic indicators provides an essential lesson for both policy-makers and development economists worldwide. The acknowledged importance of trade and non-traditional exports for development an
