Detona cambio climático muerte masiva de coral en las corrientes marinas

Un artículo publicado en @oupacademic reveló que la muerte masiva de coral muestra severos cambios en las corrientes marinas.

Agencias/Ciudad de México.- La muerte generalizada de corales en arrecifes de todo el mundo sugiere que se están produciendo severos cambios en la circulación oceánica global debidos al cambio climático, revela un nuevo estudio. El año pasado, 2023, fue el año más caluroso de la historia registrada en la tierra y en los océanos, con aumentos de temperatura dramáticos e inesperados. También marcó…

What about a paperback reprint of Bosworth's "A Historical Commentary on Arrian's History of Alexander"?

What about a paperback reprint of Bosworth’s “A Historical Commentary on Arrian’s History of Alexander”?

Good day everyone, thanks to be here on Alessandro III di Macedonia! I’m writing today because there are two books that I would very much like to read but which have a price that is prohibitive to say the least: A Historical Commentary on Arrian’s History of Alexander Volume 1: Books I-III Volume II: Books IV-V by Albert Brian Bosworth Published by: Clarendon Press, @oupacademic

It’s that time of year again, as summer wanes and the darkness draws in, a chill bites the air, and the line between the natural and the supernatural worlds begins to evaporate… and you can find all sorts of bizarre decorations in your local supermarket. With Halloween fast approaching and the need to spend those precious evening hours working on your costume and thinking up ways of presenting delicious snacks in the most disgusting of ways, you might not have time to put together a spooky song selection so we’ve given you a helping (dismembered) hand. 

Not only that but the song selection is a loose chapter guide to Sleeping with the Lights On: The Unsettling Story of Horror, moving as the book does from monsters with Purple People Eater, Godzilla, and She Wolf, to the occult with Ozzy Osborne’s Mr Crowley and Stevie Wonder’s Superstition. From the horrors of the body to the horrors of the mind with Hall and Oate’s Maneater and Iron Maiden’s Fear of the Dark, before being caught in a Time Warp and beamed up to horrors in science with Red Alert, Pink Robots, and Men in Black. 

Who’s that lurking in the dark at the end of the garden? Psycho Killer? Qu'est-ce que c'est?

This is absolutely fascinating!!!

I'd never thought of this correlation before! From this I'm completely convinced that PC = Mars. But what about the others???

Off the top of my head, this is what I come up with (in no particular order):

LWW = Jupiter? (Jove=Father Christmas, Jove head of gods = lww first book he wrote)

VotDT = Moon? (moon associated with tides/ocean)

MN = Sun? (Dawn = beginning of the world)

HaHB = Venus? (Cor/Aravis only time main characters got married I think, also Susan/Rabadash)

SC = Mercury? (Mercury is silver; I don't know, my head is exploding trying to figure this all out! 😂🤪)

TLB = Saturn? (only one left, doesn't Saturn have something to do with time?)

All of these seem rather flimsy to me, reasoning-wise, I'd appreciate any input/thoughts/contributions!!

Tagging people I think will be interested:

Asocian científicos color morado en lugar de verde a vida extraterrestre

Un nuevo estudio publicado por investigadores del @CornellCAS y @OUPAcademic reveló que el morado podría ser un color clave a buscar vida extraterrestre en exoplanetas.

Agencias/Ciudad de México.- A diferencia de la Tierra, donde el color más asociado a la vida es el verde de la clorofila que produce la fotosíntesis, en el caso de mundos distantes el color idóneo a buscar sería el púrpura. Muchas bacterias que, en la Tierra, reciben poca o ninguna luz u oxígeno visible y utilizan la radiación infrarroja invisible para impulsar la fotosíntesis, contienen…

Most Urinary Bacteria Do Not Require Antibiotics

MedicalResearch.com Interview with:

Dr. Nicolle Prof. Lindsay E Nicolle Department of Internal Medicine, School of Medicine Rady Faculty of Health Sciences University of Manitoba, Winnipeg, Canada  MedicalResearch.com: What is the background for these updated guidelines? What are the main recommendations? Response: The guideline updates the guideline previously published in 2005. There is some new information published in the interim, but the recommendations from the earlier guideline have not changed. In addition, some populations not included in the 2005 guideline are addressed in the update. These include children, transplant recipients, and patients undergoing elective surgery with prosthesis implantation. MedicalResearch.com: Who should be screened for a UTI?  Should all women with bacteruria be treated?  What determines the type of treatment?  Response: The guideline differentiates between asymptomatic bacteriuria (ASB) and symptomatic UTI, and only addresses management issues for asymptomatic bacteriuria. For ASB, screening is only recommended for populations where there has been shown to be a benefit of treating ASB. This is only pregnant women and persons who will undergo an endourologic procedure. Treatment is these two groups is determined by clinical trials which address the type of antibiotic and duration of therapy. MedicalResearch.com: Is there anything women can do to limit the likelihood of a UTI? Response: Again, the document does not address UTI – just ASB. There are no recommendations relevant to limiting the likelihood of asymptomatic bacteriuria.  MedicalResearch.com: What should readers take away from your report? Response: Asymptomatic bacteriuria is a very common finding, and apart from the two groups mentioned above, outcomes are not improved with antibiotic therapy. In fact, antibiotic therapy should be avoided where possible as it will be associated with adverse effects and promote antimicrobial resistance. One problematic area is the treatment of older men and women, who have a high prevalence of ASB, with antibiotics based on symptoms which are not due to UTI. This issue requires more clinical studies, but current evidence suggests symptomatic UTI should not b diagnosed or treated unless there are acute symptoms localizing to the bladder or kidneys.  MedicalResearch.com: Thank you for your contribution to the MedicalResearch.com community.
