Canadian credit unions and the prospects for a post-capitalist economy
The growing polycrisis in Canada and elsewhere associated with deteriorating living and working conditions have increased calls for a post-capitalist socialist economy. Among the means of accomplishing this goal is the late Erik Olin Wright's argument for eroding capitalism by developing alternative economic structures and processes that enable equality and fairness, democracy and freedom, and community and solidarity in a post-capitalist society…
Estimating the potential health effects of cleaner air in the initial stages of the Covid-19 pandemic: A study in Malmö, Sweden
BACKGROUND: During the initial phase of the COVID-19 pandemic, reductions in air pollution were globally observed owing to decreased human activities, underscoring the potential for cleaner air through shifts in human behaviour. OBJECTIVES: The objective of the present study was to hypothetically estimate the resulting population health impacts in Malmö, Sweden, if these improvements in air quality were to become permanent. METHODS: We utilized a…

From personal responsibility to an eco-socialist state: Political economy, popular discourses and the climate crisis
The adverse effects of climate change are already apparent with action required to forestall a full blown climate catastrophe. Despite findings that social democratic welfare states – Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden – more proactively respond to climate change through environmental policies that complement public policies promoting economic and social security, even these eco-social welfare state environmental policies are unlikely to avert a…
Health Care Surrogacy Laws Do Not Adequately Address the Needs of Minors
A couple and their five‐year‐old daughter are in a car accident. The parents are not expected to survive. The child is transported to a children's hospital, and urgent treatment decisions must be made. Whom should the attending physician approach to make decisions for the child? When such cases arise in, for example, the hospitals where we work, the social worker or chaplain is instructed to use the Illinois Health Care Surrogacy Act as a guidepo…
Maternal Exposure to Ambient Air Pollution and Risk of Preeclampsia: A Population-Based Cohort Study in Scania, Sweden
The aim of this study was to investigate the risk of developing preeclampsia (PE) associated with gestational exposure to ambient air pollutants in southern Sweden, a low-exposure area. We used a cohort of 43,688 singleton pregnancies and monthly mean exposure levels of black carbon (BC), local and total particulate matter (PM 2.5 and PM 10 ), and NO X at the maternal residential address estimated by Gaussian dispersion modeling from 2000 to 2009…
Health Impacts from Ambient Particle Exposure in Southern Sweden
A health impact assessment (HIA) is an important tool for making informed decisions regarding the design and evaluation of environmental interventions. In this study, we performed a quantitative HIA for the population of Scania (1,247,993), the southernmost county in Sweden, in 2016. The impact of annual mean concentrations of particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter 2.5 ), modeled at their home residences for the year 2011, on mortality, …
Connecting Air Pollution Exposure to Socioeconomic Status: A Cross-Sectional Study on Environmental Injustice among Pregnant Women in Scania, Sweden
Environmental injustice, characterized by lower socioeconomic status (SES) persons being subjected to higher air pollution concentrations, was explored among pregnant women in Scania, Sweden. Understanding if the general reduction of air pollution recorded is enjoyed by all SES groups could illuminate existing inequalities and inform policy development. "Maternal Air Pollution in Southern Sweden", an epidemiological database, contains data for 48…
A Survey of Chaplains' Roles in Pediatric Palliative Care: Integral Members of the Team
To date, the field of health care chaplaincy has had little information about how pediatric palliative care (PPC) programs meet the spiritual needs of patients and families. We conducted a qualitative study consisting of surveys of 28 well-established PPC programs in the United States followed by interviews with medical directors and professional chaplains in 8 randomly selected programs among those surveyed. In this report, we describe the PPC c…
New Insights into Old Lemurs: The Trophic Adaptations of the Archaeolemuridae
Geographical distribution of hot flash frequencies: Considering climatic influences
Laboratory studies suggest that hot flashes are triggered by small elevations in core body temperature acting within a reduced thermoneutral zone, i.e., the temperature range in which a woman neither shivers nor sweats. In the present study, it was hypothesized that women in different populations develop climate-specific thermoneutral zones, and ultimately, population-specific frequencies of hot flashes at menopause. Correlations were predicted b…
Ambulatory blood pressure and heart rate in relation to hot flash experience among women of menopausal age
These data suggest first that there may be a relationship between the experience of hot flashes and accelerated heart rate, and second that women who do not experience hot flashes may have lower sleep blood pressures than women who do
