Knowledge on the origins of the social gradient in stroke incidence in different 8 Confidential: For Review Only 9 populations is limited. This study aims to estimate the burden of educational class inequalities 10 11 in stroke incidence and to assess the contribution of risk factors in determining these 12 13 14 inequalities across Europe. 15 16 Methods. The MORGAM Study comprises 48 cohorts recruited mostly in the 1980s and 17 18 1990s in 4 European regions using standardized procedures for baseline risk factor 19 20 assessment and fatal and non-fatal stroke ascertainment and adjudication during follow-up. 21 22 Among the 126 635 middle-aged participants, initially free of cardiovascular diseases, 23 24 25 generating 3788 first stroke events during a median follow-up of 10 years, we estimated 26 27 differences in stroke rates and hazard ratios for the least vs. the most educated individuals. 28 29 Results. Compared to their most educated counterparts, the overall age-adjusted excess 30 31 hazard for stroke was 1.54 (95%CI: 1.25-1.91) and 1.41 (1.16-1.71) in least educated men 32 33 34 and women, respectively, with little heterogeneity across populations. Educational class 35 36 inequalities accounted for 86-413 and 78-156 additional stroke events per 100,000 person- 37 38 years in the least compared to most educated men and women, respectively. The additional 39 40 events were equivalent to 47%-130% and to 40%-89% of the average incidence rates. 41 42 Inequalities in risk factors accounted for 45%-70% of the social gap in incidence in the 43 44 45 Nordic Countries, the UK and Lithuania-Kaunas (men); but for no more than 17% in Central 46 47 and South Europe. The major contributors were cigarette smoking, alcohol intake and body 48 49 mass index. 50 51 Conclusions . Social inequalities in stroke incidence contribute substantially to the disease 52 53 54 rates in Europe. Healthier life-styles in the most disadvantaged individuals should have a 55 56 prominent impact in reducing both inequalities and the stroke burden. 57 58 59 60 https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/jech 2 Journal of Epidemiology & Community Health Page 4 of 34 1 2 3 4 What is already known on this subject 5 6 7 - Two recent reviews and one meta-analysis highlighted the increased risk of stroke among 8 Confidential:lower socio-economic classes.

  • Repositioning of the Global Epicentre of Non-Optimal Cholesterol
    Article Repositioning of the global epicentre of non-optimal cholesterol https://doi.org/10.1038/s41586-020-2338-1 NCD Risk Factor Collaboration (NCD-RisC)* Received: 18 October 2019 Accepted: 2 April 2020 High blood cholesterol is typically considered a feature of wealthy western 1,2 Published online: 3 June 2020 countries . However, dietary and behavioural determinants of blood cholesterol are changing rapidly throughout the world3 and countries are using lipid-lowering Open access medications at varying rates. These changes can have distinct effects on the levels of Check for updates high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol and non-HDL cholesterol, which have different effects on human health4,5. However, the trends of HDL and non-HDL cholesterol levels over time have not been previously reported in a global analysis. Here we pooled 1,127 population-based studies that measured blood lipids in 102.6 million individuals aged 18 years and older to estimate trends from 1980 to 2018 in mean total, non-HDL and HDL cholesterol levels for 200 countries. Globally, there was little change in total or non-HDL cholesterol from 1980 to 2018. This was a net effect of increases in low- and middle-income countries, especially in east and southeast Asia, and decreases in high-income western countries, especially those in northwestern Europe, and in central and eastern Europe. As a result, countries with the highest level of non-HDL cholesterol—which is a marker of cardiovascular risk— changed from those in western Europe such as Belgium, Finland, Greenland, Iceland, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland and Malta in 1980 to those in Asia and the Pacific, such as Tokelau, Malaysia, The Philippines and Thailand.

  • Evergreen Broad-Leaved Woody Species : Indicators of Climate Change
    Evergreen broad-leaved woody species – indicators of climate change Von der Naturwissenschaftlichen Fakultät der Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz Universität Hannover zur Erlangung des Grades Doktorin der Naturwissenschaften Dr. rer. nat genehmigte Dissertation von Dipl.-Biol. Silje Berger geboren am 28. März 1978 in Oslo, Norwegen 2008 Referent: Prof. Dr. Richard Pott Korreferent: PD Dr. Gian-Reto Walther Tag der Promotion: 19. November 2007 Abstract Evergreen broad-leaved species are at their northern boundary of distribution in Cen- tral Europe. On the global scale, low winter temperatures play an important role limiting the distribution of evergreen broad-leaved vegetation towards the poles. In recent years, a global warming trend has been observed; the increase in annual mean temperature in Europe is mainly due to rising winter temperatures. In this study it is documented that the ranges of indigenous as well as introduced evergreen broad-leaved species are expanding northward in Central and Northern Europe. Furthermore, limiting parameters of single species are identi- fied and the recent range shifts of some of the cold-hardiest evergreen broad-leaved species, such as Ilex aquifolium, Prunus laurocerasus and Trachycarpus fortunei, are analysed, based on historical and updated field data, measured climate data and output from bioclimatic mod- els. Within the group of evergreen broad-leaved species addressed in this study, different biological mechanisms are demonstrated to play a role in limiting the single species’ distribu- tion at their northern range margins. However, the northern ranges of the investigated species are all limited by low winter temperatures in general, though at different threshold values and due to specific biological traits.

  • The Making of the Padanian Nation: Corruption, Hegemony, Globalization And
    The making of the Padanian Nation: Corruption, Hegemony, Globalization and Legitimacy Sinan Celiksu Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy under the Executive Committee of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2014 ©2014 Sinan Celiksu All rights reserved ABSTRACT The making of the Padanian Nation: Corruption, Hegemony, Globalization and Legitimacy Sinan Celiksu This dissertation examines the relationship between state failures and state legitimacy in Italy. The study is based on a one-year ethnographic field research in Varese City. The political party Northern League and its followers (Leghisti) has been chosen to observe the state-society relationships. It has been discovered that among others, three factors were instrumental in the process by which the state-society relationships has been deteriorated so as to open the path for an alternative legitimacy claim such as Padanian nationalism. Initially, revelations of political corruption and illegal state practices, failure of the state to address problems related to globalization such as global economic integration and uncontrolled immigration were instrumental. Later, struggle of hegemony and subjugation between the League and the state has been another important cause for deteriorated relationships. This study also provides qualitative data on the processes by which those deteriorated relationships and state failures contributed the rise of xenophobia and suggests that this failures of the state coupled with the problems brought about by the uncontrolled immigration and global economic expansion is likely to open a path for criminalization of both immigrants and local people.

  • Pittura Ideista: the Spiritual in Divisionist Painting1
    Pittura ideista: The Spiritual in Divisionist Painting1 Vivien Greene The Divisionists were a loosely associated group of late-nineteenth-century painters intent on creating a distinctly Italian avant-garde art. Their mission was underpinned by modernist and nationalist aspirations,2 while their painting method drew on scientific theories of optics and chromatics and relied on the application of brushstrokes of individual, often complementary, colors to craft shimmering surfaces that capitalized on light effects.3 Although the movements’ members generally aligned I am grateful to those who read this essay: firstly, at its inception, Giovanna Ginex, more recently, Jon Snyder, and, lastly, my anonymous readers. I am also thankful to all my colleagues at the museums and archives named herein who gave me access to artworks and documents and supported my research efforts, even long distance. 1 This article is a recast and expanded version of an earlier essay of mine, “Divisionism’s Symbolist Ascent,” in Radical Light: Italy’s Divisionist Painters, 1891-1910 (exh. cat.), ed. Simonetta Fraquelli (London: National Gallery; Zurich: Kunsthaus Zurich, 2008), 47-59. My title borrows from a term that the Divisionist artist and critic Vittore Grubicy De Dragon developed to differentiate Italian Symbolism from similar tendencies among other artists and in other nations, calling it pittura ideista. See especially Vittore Grubicy De Dragon, “Pittura Ideista,” in Prima esposizione triennale Brera 1891. Tendenze evolutive nelle arti plastiche: Pensiero italiano 9 (Milan: Tipografia Cooperativa Insubria, 1891), 47-50. Grubicy’s moniker was probably inspired by G.-Albert Aurier’s concept of “art idéiste,” a term bandied about then, which was most famously discussed in his “Le Symbolisme en peinture: Paul Gauguin,” Mercure de France 2 (March 1891): 155-64.
