The #goal, security sources say, is to #increase support for #farRight, #proKremlin #AfD." (leider hinter einer Paywall)

Vielen ist sicher aufgefallen, dass jetzt nach der #Bundestagswahl die #Serie von #Terroranschlägen wie abgerissen ist, obwohl wir sonst vielleicht alle 2-3 Jahre 1 Anschlag zu verzeichnen hatten.

Der #NoAfD hat das eine #Sperrminorität eingebracht und das Sie kaum noch aus Gremien heraus zu halten ist. Auch ich meine: Zufall? Eher nicht!

Buying carbon credits to fight climate change? Here’s what to know

#CarbonCredits sold on the voluntary market are under scrutiny for not offsetting #Greenhouse#Gas emissions as claimed.

One investigation concluded that over 90 percent of carbon credits issued for #rainforest protection by the largest carbon credit certification body “had no benefit to the climate.” Two reports published in 2023 found that credits for forest-based projects in North America, South America, Africa and Asia may in fact #increase net #emissions

Імпорт безпілотників в 2024 році в Україну перевищив $1 млрд, тобто виріс фактично в два рази, якщо порівнювати з 2023 роком. Що цікаво, кількість кримінальних справ за створення і збут порно теж зросла вдвічі. Це якось пов'язано? #uav #porn #crime #increase

Beim INCREASECSA Experiment bei dem es um den Anbau alter Bohnensorten geht, ist die industrielle Vergleichssorte MECCEARLY (die jeder Teilnehmer bekommt) quasi als Erste im Ziel.

Zweieinhalb Monate nach der Saat sind die Schoten reif und die Pflanze fängt an mit dem Welken.

Das heißt aber auch, daß es da keinen Nachschub mehr gibt. Die anderen Sorten lassen sich mehr Zeit und die Pflanzen sind viel größer.

Recent #increase in #atypical presentations of invasive #meningococcal #disease in #France, BMC Infect Dis.: bmcinfectdis.biomedcentral.com

Non-meningeal forms of IMD increased significantly upon easing of #NPI, such as bacteremic meningococcal #pneumonia and bacteremic #abdominal forms. They represented 6% & 8% of all IMD forms and were significantly linked to serogroups Y and W respectively, to older adults for bacteremic pneumonia and to young adults for bacteremic abdominal presentations.

BioMed CentralRecent increase in atypical presentations of invasive meningococcal disease in France - BMC Infectious DiseasesBackground Invasive meningococcal disease (IMD) cases declined upon the implementation of non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPI) (social distancing and mask wearing) to control the COVID-19 pandemic but rebounded in 2022 in numbers with genotypical changes of the strains. We explored here associated modifications in the clinical presentations of IMD. Methods We conducted a retrospective descriptive study using the Database of the French National Reference Centre for meningococci and Haemophilus influnezae for IMD cases between 2015 and 2022. We scored serogroups, sex, age groups, clinical presentations and clonal complexes of the corresponding patients and isolates. Findings Non-meningeal forms of IMD increased significantly upon easing of NPI, such as bacteremic meningococcal pneumonia and bacteremic abdominal forms. They represented 6% and 8% of all IMD forms and were significantly linked to serogroups Y and W respectively, to older adults for bacteremic pneumonia and to young adults for bacteremic abdominal presentations. These forms were significantly associated with more early mortality and clonal complexes 23, 11 and 9316. Interpretation The increase in atypical IMD forms may lead to higher burden of IMD due to delayed diagnosis and management. Updating prevention may be needed through by adapting the current vaccination strategies to epidemiological changes.
