Environmental Pollution Risk and Insurance [PDF]

, 2002
We consider environmental risks that are evaluated too heavy for a single insurance company, but that can be insured by n companies which a premium is assigned to. This is precisely the Italian scenario where a pool of companies co-insures these risks. Under a game theoretic approach we start by analyzing how they should split the risk and the premium ...

Microbiome−host proteostasis crosstalk—An emerging perspective on mechanisms and interventions toward healthy longevity

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Proteostasis and the gut microbiota play a key role in shaping host physiology. Microbiota‐derived metabolites, vitamins, and RNA modulate host proteostasis. Findings from model systems, including C. elegans, indicate microbes can either stabilize or disrupt host proteostasis.

Application of HepG2-derived organoid and organ-on-a-chip platforms in elucidating selenium-mediated protection against cadmium-induced liver dysfunction

npj Science of Food
HepG2 cells were cultured into liver organoids (more native liver-like than 2D cultures) and integrated into a microfluidic chip, which regulates flow, nutrients, and waste to simulate in vivo hepatic microcirculation. Key findings: Cadmium (Cd) exposure

Technical Note: The divide and measure nonconformity – how metrics can mislead when we evaluate on different data partitions [PDF]

Hydrology and Earth System Sciences
The evaluation of model performance is an essential part of hydrological modeling. However, leveraging the full information that performance criteria provide requires a deep understanding of their properties.

From mice to humans—divergent strategies for intestinal homeostasis and regeneration

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Recent advances such as organoid genome editing, xenotransplantation, imaging, and whole‐genome sequencing have enabled direct studies of human intestinal stem cells (ISCs). These studies reveal species‐specific features, including slower ISC proliferation, distinct injury responses, slower somatic mutation accumulation in humans, and an inverse ...

Design and analysis strategies for robust microbiome ageing research

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The gut microbiome changes with age and associates with age‐related morbidity and mortality, establishing it as a potential biomarker and intervention target for ageing. Realising this potential requires methodological rigour, yet distinguishing biological signals from methodological artefacts remains challenging across cohorts. This review provides an

The mechanism of vascular injury caused by polystyrene microplastics: Involving ferroptosis and metabolomics

iScience
Summary: Polystyrene microplastics (PS-MPs) are environmental pollutants linked to cardiovascular diseases. This study investigated PS-MP-induced vascular toxicity mechanisms in mice. Mice were divided into saline control, low/medium/high PS-MP exposure (

Perceptions of environmental risks in Mozambique : implications for the success of adaptation and coping strategies [PDF]

Policies to promote adaptation climate risks often rely on the willing cooperation of the intended beneficiaries. If these beneficiaries disagree with policy makers and programme managers about the need for adaptation, or the effectiveness of the ...

Smoking risks in Spain: Part II- Perceptions of environmental Tobacco smoke externalities [PDF]

, 2000
Previous studies of smoking risk beliefs have focused almost exclusively on risks to the smoker. Using an original set of survey data from Spain, we examine the public's perceived risks from exposures to environmental tobacco smoke.
