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.

Power, Communication, and Politics in the Nordic Countries
POWER, COMMUNICATION, AND POLITICS IN THE NORDIC COUNTRIES POWER, COMMUNICATION, POWER, COMMUNICATION, AND POLITICS IN THE NORDIC COUNTRIES The Nordic countries are stable democracies with solid infrastructures for political dia- logue and negotiations. However, both the “Nordic model” and Nordic media systems are under pressure as the conditions for political communication change – not least due to weakened political parties and the widespread use of digital communication media. In this anthology, the similarities and differences in political communication across the Nordic countries are studied. Traditional corporatist mechanisms in the Nordic countries are increasingly challenged by professionals, such as lobbyists, a development that has consequences for the processes and forms of political communication. Populist polit- ical parties have increased their media presence and political influence, whereas the news media have lost readers, viewers, listeners, and advertisers. These developments influence societal power relations and restructure the ways in which political actors • Edited by: Eli Skogerbø, Øyvind Ihlen, Nete Nørgaard Kristensen, & Lars Nord • Edited by: Eli Skogerbø, Øyvind Ihlen, Nete Nørgaard communicate about political issues. This book is a key reference for all who are interested in current trends and develop- ments in the Nordic countries. The editors, Eli Skogerbø, Øyvind Ihlen, Nete Nørgaard Kristensen, and Lars Nord, have published extensively on political communication, and the authors are all scholars based in the Nordic countries with specialist knowledge in their fields.

Dutch. a Linguistic History of Holland and Belgium
Dutch. A linguistic history of Holland and Belgium Bruce Donaldson bron Bruce Donaldson, Dutch. A linguistic history of Holland and Belgium. Uitgeverij Martinus Nijhoff, Leiden 1983 Zie voor verantwoording: http://www.dbnl.org/tekst/dona001dutc02_01/colofon.php © 2013 dbnl / Bruce Donaldson II To my mother Bruce Donaldson, Dutch. A linguistic history of Holland and Belgium VII Preface There has long been a need for a book in English about the Dutch language that presents important, interesting information in a form accessible even to those who know no Dutch and have no immediate intention of learning it. The need for such a book became all the more obvious to me, when, once employed in a position that entailed the dissemination of Dutch language and culture in an Anglo-Saxon society, I was continually amazed by the ignorance that prevails with regard to the Dutch language, even among colleagues involved in the teaching of other European languages. How often does one hear that Dutch is a dialect of German, or that Flemish and Dutch are closely related (but presumably separate) languages? To my knowledge there has never been a book in English that sets out to clarify such matters and to present other relevant issues to the general and studying public.1. Holland's contributions to European and world history, to art, to shipbuilding, hydraulic engineering, bulb growing and cheese manufacture for example, are all aspects of Dutch culture which have attracted the interest of other nations, and consequently there are numerous books in English and other languages on these subjects. But the language of the people that achieved so much in all those fields has been almost completely neglected by other nations, and to a degree even by the Dutch themselves who have long been admired for their polyglot talents but whose lack of interest in their own language seems never to have disturbed them.

Jews in the Netherlands and Their Languages
Paper Jews in the Netherlands and their languages by Jan Jaap de Ruiter© (Tilburg University) [email protected] November 2014 This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NoDerivatives 4.0 International License. To view a copy of this license, visit http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nd/4.0/ Jews in the Netherlands and their languages Jan Jaap de Ruiter ABSTRACT Cultural contacts between majority and minority groups involve many different aspects, one of which is language. Jews have been living in the Netherlands since around the beginning of the sixteenth century. In the two centuries that followed, their language repertoire was very rich, consisting of at least five different languages. As a result of processes of integration, speeded up by strongly pushed politics of assimilation pursued in line with the equality principle of the French revolution, Dutch Jews in the nineteenth century gave up using nearly all their original languages in favour of Dutch. The article describes these processes of language shift among Dutch Jews and poses the question whether the results of the acculturation process of the Jews going from being multilingual towards becoming monolingual are to be considered a success in terms of acculturation or a loss in terms of culture. KEY WORDS Languages of Jews, History of Dutch Jews, Integration, Assimilation, Emancipation. INTRODUCTION In the Dutch Golden Age, roughly coinciding with the seventeenth century and in the age that followed, Jewish communities living in the Netherlands made use of the following languages: Portuguese, Spanish, Hebrew, Yiddish, Dutch, German and French1. At the end of the nineteenth century, not much was left of this linguistic abundance and the language that Dutch Jews spoke and wrote, predominantly if not exclusively, had become Dutch.

Zakhor Nishmat Avotenu Schouten 2
Zakhor Nishmat Avotenu Schouten 2 Abstract This thesis analyses the memorbukh of the Jewish community that lived in the Dutch village Oisterwijk, Brabant. The book was written in 1770 as part of a protocol book by the community’s rabbi Yekutiel Ziskind, who had come to Oisterwijk in 1769. The genre of memorbikher started as a way to respond to the large-scale persecutions of Jews in the times of the First Crusade in 1096, the Rindfleisch-persecutions in 1298, and the persecutions in the time of the Black Death in 1348/9. Members of Jewish communities that suffered during those persecutions were commemorated for their sufferings and perseverance. In the late medieval and early modern period, the genre of memorbikher was incorporated within the liturgy of Ashkenazic synagogues. This thesis describes the memorbukh from Oisterwijk as an example of an early modern memorbukh by comparing it to other memorbikher of the time. It argues that the author of this memorbukh wrote it in order to bind together his new community. The community in Oisterwijk was a relatively young community, as members had begun to arrive in Oisterwijk only in the 1650s. The author therefore wanted to create a new communal memory that would bind together all the members, despite their different backgrounds. Keywords: Pinkassim, Memorbikher, Jewish memorial books, Yiddish manuscripts.
