For delegates based in the UK, there are also continuing uncertainties arising from the UK’s withdrawal from the EU to contend with. These challenges will continue to have an impact for years to come.

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.

  • Carbon Management Planning in UK Universities: a Journey to Low Carbon Built Environment
    Carbon management planning in UK universities: A journey to low carbon built environment Muhammad Usman Mazhar1 Department of Management, Nottingham Business School, Burton Street, Nottingham, NG1 4BU, United Kingdom [email protected] Richard Bull2, Mark Lemon3 Institute of Energy and Sustainable Development, De Montfort University, The Gateway, Leicester, LE1 9BH, United Kingdom 2 [email protected] 3 [email protected] Saad Bin Saleem Ahmad4 Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Norwegian University of Sciences and Technology, Trondheim, Norway [email protected] Abstract Climate change and increase in carbon emissions are one of the biggest challenges for the modern world. Organisations are facing increasing pressure from governments and stakeholders to reduce carbon emissions. The Higher Education (HE) sector has a huge environmental, social and economic impact. In 2012-13, Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) consumed 7.9 billion kWh of energy and emitted 2.3 million tonnes of carbon emissions, which strengthens the role of universities in implementing carbon management for a low carbon built environment. The HE sector is not exempt from implementing carbon management strategies and responded to the UK government’s Climate Change Act by developing its own targets in England, which are in line with the national targets – 80% reduction by 2050 and 34% by 2020 from the 1990 baseline. This indicates the scale of the challenge to implement carbon management through effective planning procedures. The aim of this paper is to explore the key elements of the carbon management planning process in UK universities and identify potential areas of improvements. This exploratory study adopted a qualitative and inductive research approach.

  • 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.
