  • Exploring the relationship between bird diversity and anxiety and mood disorder hospitalisation rates

    Open AccessRachel T Buxton, Amber L Pearson et al.ARTICLEGeo Geography and Environment2023References: 4

    Natural environments provide a myriad of health benefits, yet the role of species diversity within these spaces remains underexplored. Bird diversity may yield mental health benefits for humans, through birdsong or feelings of connection to nature. In an initial effort to establish whether bird diversity may be linked with human health in a US context and to test the consistency in such trends from year to year, we combine widely available commun…

  • Ethical ecosurveillance

    Open AccessNathan Young, Dominique G Roche et al.ARTICLEPeople and Nature2022

    Ecosurveillance has proliferated in recent years, generating vast amounts of data on the natural environment. Ecosurveillance also has significant potential impacts on humans; therefore, researchers and policymakers need new conceptual tools to anticipate and mitigate any negative effects. Surveillance studies is an interdisciplinary field in the social sciences, providing a number of insights and practical lessons for predicting and managing the…

  • Balancing research, monitoring, and action to recover Canada’s species at risk

    Open AccessRachel T Buxton, Shamri Hamit et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Science & Policy2022References: 3

    Despite accelerating biodiversity loss, conservation efforts suffer from serious resource deficiencies. This requires conservation managers to strike a challenging balance between direct action, which is needed to avoid further biodiversity loss, and research and monitoring, which provide the information needed for more effective action. Here, we explore different types of management tasks in action plans for legally protected species at risk of …

  • Measuring performance on the Healthcare Access and Quality Index for 195 countries and territories and selected subnational locations

    Open AccessNancy Fullman, Jamal A Yearwood et al.ARTICLEThe Lancet2018

    BACKGROUND: A key component of achieving universal health coverage is ensuring that all populations have access to quality health care. Examining where gains have occurred or progress has faltered across and within countries is crucial to guiding decisions and strategies for future improvement. We used the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study 2016 (GBD 2016) to assess personal health-care access and quality with the Healthc…

  • Measuring progress and projecting attainment on the basis of past trends of the health-related Sustainable Development Goals in 188 countries

    Open AccessNancy Fullman, Ryan M Barber et al.ARTICLEThe Lancet2017

    BACKGROUND: The UN's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are grounded in the global ambition of "leaving no one behind". Understanding today's gains and gaps for the health-related SDGs is essential for decision makers as they aim to improve the health of populations. As part of the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study 2016 (GBD 2016), we measured 37 of the 50 health-related SDG indicators over the period 1990-2016 for 188…

  • Global, regional, and national age-sex specific mortality for 264 causes of death, 1980–2016

    Open AccessMohsen Naghavi, Amanuel Alemu Abajobir et al.ARTICLEThe Lancet2017

    BACKGROUND: Monitoring levels and trends in premature mortality is crucial to understanding how societies can address prominent sources of early death. The Global Burden of Disease 2016 Study (GBD 2016) provides a comprehensive assessment of cause-specific mortality for 264 causes in 195 locations from 1980 to 2016. This assessment includes evaluation of the expected epidemiological transition with changes in development and where local patterns …

  • Global, regional, and national comparative risk assessment of 84 behavioural, environmental and occupational, and metabolic risks or clusters of risks, 1990–2016

    Open AccessEmmanuela Gakidou, Ashkan Afshin et al.ARTICLEThe Lancet2017

    BACKGROUND: The Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study 2016 (GBD 2016) provides a comprehensive assessment of risk factor exposure and attributable burden of disease. By providing estimates over a long time series, this study can monitor risk exposure trends critical to health surveillance and inform policy debates on the importance of addressing risks in context. METHODS: We used the comparative risk assessment framework dev…

  • Global, regional, and national under-5 mortality, adult mortality, age-specific mortality, and life expectancy, 1970–2016

    Open AccessHaidong Wang, Amanuel Alemu Abajobir et al.ARTICLEThe Lancet2017

    BACKGROUND: Detailed assessments of mortality patterns, particularly age-specific mortality, represent a crucial input that enables health systems to target interventions to specific populations. Understanding how all-cause mortality has changed with respect to development status can identify exemplars for best practice. To accomplish this, the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study 2016 (GBD 2016) estimated age-specific and …

  • Global, regional, and national disability-adjusted life-years (Dalys) for 333 diseases and injuries and healthy life expectancy (Hale) for 195 countries and territories, 1990–2016

    Open AccessSimon I Hay, Amanuel Alemu Abajobir et al.ARTICLEThe Lancet2017

    BACKGROUND: Measurement of changes in health across locations is useful to compare and contrast changing epidemiological patterns against health system performance and identify specific needs for resource allocation in research, policy development, and programme decision making. Using the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study 2016, we drew from two widely used summary measures to monitor such changes in population health: di…

  • Diatom, Pollen, and Chemical Evidence of Postglacial Climatic Change at Big Lake, South-Central British Columbia, Canada

    Open AccessJames R Bennett, Joseph R Bennett et al.ARTICLEQuaternary Research2001

    Postglacial climatic conditions were inferred from cores taken from Big Lake in southern British Columbia. Low concentrations of nonarboreal pollen and pigments near the base of the core suggest that initial conditions were cool. Increases in both aquatic and terrestrial production suggest warmer and moister conditions until ∼8500 cal yr B.P. Hyposaline diatom assemblages, increases in nonarboreal pollen, and increased concentrations of pigments …

  • Peace profile

    Open AccessJames R BennettARTICLEPeace Review1999

    The recent killings of children and teachers at schools in Jonesboro, Arkansas, Littleton, Colorado, and elsewhere have caused a clamor of diagnoses and denunciations over the origins of school violence and our national violence. Drugs, guns, parents, schools, television and video games are blamed. Even children are condemned, and a cry has arisen to prosecute youth as adult criminals. From President Clinton, who declared that “killing is wrong,”…

В первой главе авторы предлагают теоретическую модель, называемую моделью пропаганды, согласно которой даже в демократических странах, где нет официальной цензуры и СМИ не принадлежат государству, функционирование масс медиа подчиняется механизмам «пропаганды», с той ра…

  • The Essay in Recent Anthologies of Literary Criticism

    James R BennettARTICLESubStance1989

    This genre blurring is more than just a matter of Harry Houdini or Richard Nixon turning up as characters in novels or of midwestern murder sprees described as though a gothic romancer had imagined them. It is philosophical inquiries looking like literary criticism [or] scientific discussions looking like belles lettres morceaux. [The] present jumbling of varieties of discourse has grown to the point where it is becoming difficult either to label…
