Association Between Geomagnetic Activity and Unsuccessful Out‐of‐Hospital Cardiac Arrest
Abstract Out‐of‐hospital cardiac arrests (OHCAs) represent a significant global health challenge, with a survival rate <10%. Recent research has demonstrated that geomagnetic activity (GMA) can disrupt the circadian rhythm. Therefore, GMA may affect patient outcomes after an OHCA event wherein resuscitation is attempted.

This article explores the activities of daily life in a village neighbouring the TEPCO nuclear power plant in Fukushima. It argues that one of the potentials of taking a dwelling perspective – a phenomenological approach to living within the ecological and social environments – emerges most compellingly within a polluted landscape.

Unprecedented radioactive pollution in Spitsbergen air – first data as of 21st century
Abstract. The present study concerned the Arctic troposphere, providing an experimental database on nuclear aerosols that has improved considerably since 1999. The activity concentrations of 238Pu, 239+240Pu and 241Am were determined in the surface air of Hornsund, Spitsbergen, during 2007–2021.
