Framing Ageing as a Medical Problem: Public Discourses on Older Adults, Health Risks and Tecnoscientific Solutions in the UK and Italy by Francesco Miele, Federico Neresini, Emanuele Di Buccio

“…In parallel, we developed some synthetic indices to support the analysis of how news about older people is “biomedicalised” in media coverage. First, our analyses show how, during the period under scrutiny (1985-2021), while older adults have been increasingly framed as subjects at risk, the technoscientific solutions typical of the biomedicalisation era (i.e., personalised medicine and devices for self-monitoring vital parameters as well as lifestyles) have become increasingly relevant in the media sphere. …”

Migration of deltaic and open water mangrove forests in response to environmental factors by Johanna Paola Echeverry Hernandez, José Ernesto Mancera Pineda, David Alejandro Sánchez Núñez

“…Freshwater discharge, which was linked to the size of a protective sediment bar in front of the mangroves, significantly accounted for the annual changes in mangrove coverage (R² = 0.70). During the period analyzed, the open-coast mangrove front exhibited a progradation of 0.45 to 1.02 yr⁻¹, while the deltaic mangrove in Bocagrande showed a retreat of 1.13 yr⁻¹. …”
