– Niels Bohr Institutet - Københavns Universitet Inge Lehmann (1888-1993) er Danmarks ukendte pioner inden for geofysik. I 1936 skriver hun artiklen P', hvor hun argumenterer for, at Jorden har en fast indre kerne. Den tanke skaber stor debat i videnskabskredse, men det skal snart vise sig, at hun har ret. Alligevel kommer der til at gå mange år, inden hun får sin velfortjente anerkendelse. 11. september 2014 Del 1: Inge Lehmann og Jordens indreInge Lehmann blev kvinden, der opdagede Jordens kerne, men som barn i slutningen af 1800-tallet er hendes forældre bange for, at den svagelige Inge vil overanstrenge sig med alt den studeren ...

WEO 2012 Lately, the near-term outlook has noticeably deteriorated, as evidenced by worsening high-frequency indicators in the last quarter of 2011 (Figure 2: CSV|PDF). The main reason is the escalating euro area crisis, which is interacting with financial fragilities elsewhere (Figure 3: CSV|PDF). Specifically, concerns about banking sector losses and fiscal sustainability widened sovereign spreads for many euro area countries, which reached highs not seen since the launch of the Economic and Monetary Union. Bank funding all but dried up in the euro area, prompting the European Central Bank (ECB) to offer a three-year Long-Term Refinancing Operation (LTRO). Bank lending conditions moved sideways or deteriorated across a number of advanced economies. Capital flows to emerging economies fell sharply. The updated WEO projections see global activity decelerating but not collapsing. Overall, activity in the advanced economies is now projected to expand by 1½ percent on average during 2012–13.

WWF's global network About the GHS Chemicals, through the different steps from their production to their handling, transport and use, are a real danger for human health and the environment. People of any ages, from children to elderly, using many different languages and alphabets, belonging to various social conditions, including illiterates, are daily confronted to dangerous products (chemicals, pesticides, etc.) To face this danger, and given the reality of the extensive global trade in chemicals and the need to develop national programs to ensure their safe use, transport and disposal, it was recognized that an internationally-harmonized approach to classification and labelling would provide the foundation for such programs. Once countries have consistent and appropriate information on the chemicals they import or produce in their own countries, the infrastructure to control chemical exposures and protect people and the environment can be established in a comprehensive manner.

Liste over databaser med open access WEO 2013 Global growth is projected to remain subdued at slightly above 3 percent in 2013, the same as in 2012. This is less than forecast in the April 2013 World Economic Outlook (WEO), driven to a large extent by appreciably weaker domestic demand and slower growth in several key emerging market economies, as well as a more protracted recession in the euro area. Downside risks to global growth prospects still dominate: while old risks remain, new risks have emerged, including the possibility of a longer growth slowdown in emerging market economies, especially given risks of lower potential growth, slowing credit, and possibly tighter financial conditions if the anticipated unwinding of monetary policy stimulus in the United States leads to sustained capital flow reversals. Stronger global growth will require additional policy action. Financial market volatility increased globally in May and June after a period of calm since last summer.

Psychiater Glen Gabbard: ‘Professionaliteit is grenzen stellen’ interview Psychiater Glen Gabbard over zijn nieuwste boek ‘Professioneel gedrag is belangrijk voor alle artsen, maar met name voor psychiaters’, zegt de Amerikaanse hoogleraar psychiatrie Glen Gabbard. ‘Bij psychiaters is de arts-patiëntrelatie een essentieel onderdeel van de therapie.’ Susanne Fledderus ‘Elke interactie tussen psychiater en patiënt heeft invloed op het genezingsproces. Gabbard heeft zich in het onderwerp gespecialiseerd (zie profiel Gabbard). Grenzen stellen, dat is waar het volgens Gabbard bij professionaliteit vooral om draait. Is het denkbaar dat een arts ooit een relatie krijgt met een (ex-)patiënt? Kun je informatie uit je privéleven aan patiënten vertellen? Wat doet het toenemende internetgebruik met professionaliteit? Een ander fenomeen dat je tegenwoordig steeds meer ziet zijn de rate your doctor-websites, waarop patiënten, vaak anoniem, een beoordeling over hun arts invullen. Tegenwoordig besteden opleidingen meer aandacht aan professioneel gedrag dan vroeger.

Pharyngula Probably not. But the New York Times reports: A review of studies has found that the health benefits of infant male circumcision vastly outweigh the risks involved in the procedure. Actually, it doesn’t. Prevalence of adult circumcision in the United States during the past 6 decades (1948-2010). It does toss in a table purporting to show the tremendous risks of not circumcising baby boys, but this is not new — these are the same sloppy data that the author has been peddling for over a decade. The author is Brian Morris, better known as the Man Who Hates Foreskins. I suppose it could be because glorious Scandinavian penises are perfect and universally wholesome — that’s what I’ve been told, anyway — but that would be baseless speculation and unwarranted extrapolation of anecdotes into unsupportable evidence, of the sort that Brian Morris does. Take that first condition, the likelihood of urinary tract infections. Or look at his claim of much greater rates of HIV infection.

Global Issues : social, political, economic and environmental issues that affect us all Bloomin' Apps This page gathers all of the Bloomin' Apps projects in one place.Each image has clickable hotspots and includes suggestions for iPad, Android, Google and online tools and applications to support each of the levels of Bloom's Revised Taxonomy.I have created a page to allow you to share your favorite online tool, iOS, or Android app with others. Cogs of the Cognitive Processes I began to think about the triangular shape of Bloom's Taxonomy and realized I thought of it a bit differently.Since the cognitive processes are meant to be used when necessary, and any learner goes in and out of the each level as they acquire new content and turn it into knowledge, I created a different type of image that showcased my thoughts about Bloom's more meaningfully.Here is my visual which showcases the interlocking nature of the cognitive processes or, simply, the "Cogs of the Cognitive Processes".
