Exploring the perspectives of child health strategy stakeholders on resilience and well-being in children and youths in Singapore: A qualitative study by Yee Keow Chiong, Kee Seng Chia

“… Resilience has been defined as the capacity of a dynamic system to adapt well to potential threats,1 while mitigating the negative impact of behavioural and physiological changes due to chronic stress,2 and the resumption of positive functioning thereafter.3 Resilience enables one to adapt positively to adversities in life and allows the transformation of toxic stress to tolerable stress. The factors associated with resilience are homogeneous across studies, which are individual attributes such as self-regulation and problem-solving skills, relational attributes such as secure attachment relationships, and connections to school and community.4 This is relevant to the Singaporean context, as the Singapore Mental Health Study conducted from 2016 to 2018 revealed that 1 in 5 youths, aged between 18 and 34 years old have a mental disorder.5 Mental disorders were also reported to be the largest contributor to disease burden for Singaporeans aged 10 to 34 years old, peaking for 15 to 19 year-olds, for whom it represented 25.8% of total disability-adjusted life years (DALYs).5 In 2020, suicide is the leading cause of death for those aged 10 to 29 years old. …”

St-N, a novel alkaline derivative of stevioside, reverses docetaxel resistance by targeting lysosomes in vitro and in vivo. by Yanxia Guo, Shikang Wang, Qun Liu, Yan Dong, Yongqing Liu

“…In docetaxel-resistant PCa homograft mice, St-N significantly inhibited the growth of RM-1/Doc homografts and enhanced the anticancer effects of docetaxel, but did not show significant toxicity. Taken together, these findings demonstrated that St-N reversed docetaxel resistance in vitro and in vivo by destabilizing lysosomal membranes to promote cell death, thus providing a strong rationale for applying St-N in docetaxel-resistant PCa.…”

O istotnych kontrowersjach wokół oceny zagrożeń środowiska i jego naprawy by Konrad Gałuszko

“…Subsequently to the above were discussed: the criticism of some misconceptions and the evolution of scientists. opinions about derivations of the greenhouse effect, toxicity and carcinogenesis criteria, evidence supporting the threshold dose versus the linear hypothesis at the evaluation of harmful environmental effects, examples of ecological utopia assuming a possibility of “life in the world without toxins”, the consequences of acts of law created with the idea, untrustworthy examples of alleged hazards, Poland’s law delay with the assimilation of the new toxicological and carcinogenesis evidence, DDT application dilemma concerned with the latter, the acceptance of the threshold dose also for radioactivity, the latest news about ravages of the Chernobyl catastrophe, the author’s belief in better cooperation of humanists, ecophilosophers, scientists and mass media people to create sensible social attitudes of the public in the face of the ecological and civilization crisis.…”
