Fibroblasts from bank voles inhabiting Chernobyl have increased resistance against oxidative and DNA stresses

BMC Cell Biology, 2018
Background Elevated levels of environmental ionizing radiation can be a selective pressure for wildlife by producing reactive oxygen species and DNA damage. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms that are affected are not known. Results We isolated

Public responses to the chernobyl accident [PDF]

Journal of Environmental Psychology, 1990
The reactor accident at Chernobyl caught many European nations by surprise since most risk management institutions were unprepared for an accident of the magnitude and transnational character of Chernobyl. Although confusion and contradictory advice from these institutions dominated the risk management efforts in the early aftermath of the disaster ...

Radiocesium concentrations in the lichen-reindeer/caribou food chain: Before and after Chernobyl

Rangifer, 1986
This paper reviews historical concentrations of radiocesium (Cs-137) in the reindeer/caribou food chain in Alaska. These data, along with available kinetic models which describe the movement of radiocesium through the food chain, are used to predict ...

Modeling and interpreting element ratios in water and sediments: A sensitivity analysis of post-Chernobyl Ru : Cs ratios. [PDF]

, 1995
When elements are simultaneously added to lakes, experimentally or by accident, their ratios in the water phase and in bottom sediments can change with time due to differential partitioning between solution and suspended particles or sediments.

DNA Extracted From Aged Formalin‐Fixed Paraffin‐Embedded Specimens of Patients With Papillary Thyroid Carcinomas Can Be Used for Whole Exome Sequencing

Journal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, EarlyView.
We aimed to assess the quality of DNA extracted from long‐term stored FFPE specimens of patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma from three hospitals in Hiroshima and their applicability to whole exome sequencing. FFPE samples preserved for up to 55 years may be amenable to sequencing with increased read depth.

Hemomicrocirculation and immune structural components changesin Chernobyl accident liquidators

Бюллетень сибирской медицины, 2007
The aim of the study was to investigate correlation of immunity structural components (morphologic-functional changes in derma and systemic immune reactionof the organisms of Chernobyl accident liquidators. In 2000-2002, we examined 49 Chernobyl accident

How to stay wild in a highly domesticated landscape? Spatiotemporal behaviour of wolves in Germany

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Wild animals can adapt to the increasing presence of humans by either becoming accustomed to it or by avoiding humans by spatiotemporal separation. The return of the wolf to the German lowlands raised the opportunity to study wolf behaviour in one of the most densely populated and fragmented countries in Europe, in an area where topography offers no ...

LOW AND MEAN RADIATION DOSES IMPACT ON THE CEREBRAL TRACTS STRUCTURE OF THE CHERNOBYL ACCIDENT LIQUIDATORS IN THE REMOTE PERIOD (BASED ON ROUTINE AND DIFFUSION-TENSOR MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING DATA)

Радиационная гигиена, 2018
To evaluate correlation between brain structural damages and radiation exposure level for the Chernobyl nuclear power plant accident liquidators, routine and diffusion tensor magnetic resonance imaging methods are efficient to visualize and evaluate ...

Responsible Innovation: The Impact of Major Industrial Disasters and Gender in a Global South Context

Journal of Product Innovation Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Responsible innovation (RI) dynamics remain underexplored in Global South contexts, which have a high prevalence of micro‐ and small enterprises and are vulnerable to the devastating effects of industrial disasters. Only a few studies examine RI within such settings, where it is arguably needed most.

Coupling Responsible Innovation and Sustainable Business Model Innovation to Address Grand Challenges

Journal of Product Innovation Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Academic Abstract Innovations designed to address grand challenges within the social innovation sector can have unintended consequences, particularly where organizations pursue triple‐bottom‐line objectives under resource constraints. Yet research on coupling responsible innovation (RI) and sustainable business model innovation (SBMI) largely ...
