Christian Kaunert, Professor of Policing and Security at the University of South Wales, describes the scope of EUCTER, from a Jean Monnet Network to the European Counter-Terrorism and Security Institute. Terrorism remains one of the leading security threats facing the European Union (EU) and its Member States, with a considerable impact on European societies. Therefore, there is a strong need for knowledge and expertise that will enable the EU and its Member States to address the contemporary terrorist threat effectively.
南威尔士大学治安与安全学教授 Christian Kaunert 介绍了欧盟反恐中心的范围,从让-莫内网络到欧洲反恐与安全研究所。恐怖主义仍然是欧洲联盟(欧盟)及其成员国面临的主要安全威胁之一,对欧洲社会产生了相当大的影响。因此,欧盟及其成员国亟需能够有效应对当代恐怖主义威胁的知识和专业技能。

Find out here about a geriatric psychiatry program at the Music and Mental Health Research Clinic that improves the wellbeing of older adults. How do music and movement affect the mental wellbeing of older adults? The Music and Mental Health Research Clinic at the University of Ottawa Institute of Mental Health Research at the Royal will explore this question with a new geriatric psychiatry program that aims to design and carry on community-based music and movement (COMM) interventions with older adults (55+). The program will examine the benefits of these interventions on the psycho-social conditions of older adults with dementia or experiencing mental illness, including, among others, depression and anxiety. The learnings will support the integration of evidence-informed music interventions into older adults’ social and healthcare.

Theodore R. Holford from Yale University charts a modeling approach for estimating the impact of health programs in this cigarette smoking research focus. Cigarette smoking is one of the most harmful causes of increasing illness risk and shortening life. Its effect was not expected initially, but the recognition of a growing epidemic in lung cancer became apparent in the middle of the twentieth century, stimulating a research effort to find the cause of an alarming trend. This work demonstrated the strong association between smoking and lung cancer. Still, as work continued, it became clear that lung cancer was but the first of a long list of other diseases affecting the lungs, the heart, and other organs.
来自耶鲁大学的西奥多-R-霍尔福德(Theodore R. Holford)在本期吸烟研究重点中介绍了一种估算健康计划影响的建模方法。吸烟是增加疾病风险和缩短寿命的最有害原因之一。最初人们并没有预料到它的影响,但到了二十世纪中叶,人们逐渐认识到肺癌的流行日益严重,从而激发了研究人员努力寻找这一令人担忧的趋势的原因。这项工作证明了吸烟与肺癌之间的密切联系。然而,随着研究的不断深入,人们逐渐认识到,肺癌只是影响肺部、心脏和其他器官的众多疾病中的第一种。

Dr Janez Sušnik, from the IHE Delft Institute for Water Education and NEXOGENESIS Coordinator, guides us through the use of machine learning for improving policy advice in the water-energy-food-ecosystems nexus. Water, energy, and food (WEF) form a coherent interconnected system often referred to as the WEF nexus (Hoff, 2011). The WEF nexus interacts strongly with ecosystems, forming the wider WEFE nexus. Ecosystems provide the ‘base’ of the WEFE nexus, helping ensure the quantity, quality, timing, and accessibility of WEF resources, for example, by providing services including water purification, contributing freshwater provisioning, pollution reduction and control; maintaining healthy landscapes, contributing towards crop growth for food and energy crops; biodiversity providing pollinating insects for crop production and; forest and floodplain ecosystems provide biomass that as act as a global carbon sink and oxygen supply (Bell et al. 2016; Martinez- Hernandez et al. 2017).
来自 IHE 代尔夫特水教育研究所的 Janez Sušnik 博士是 NEXOGENESIS 协调员,他指导我们使用机器学习改进水、能源、食品和生态系统之间关系的政策建议。水、能源和食物(WEF)构成了一个相互关联的系统,通常被称为水-能源-食物-生态系统关系(WEF nexus)(Hoff,2011 年)。水、能源和食物关系与生态系统紧密互动,形成更广泛的水、能源和食物关系。生态系统是 WEFE 关系的 "基础",有助于确保 WEF 资源的数量、质量、时间和可获取性,例如,通过提供包括水净化在内的服务,促进淡水供应、减少和控制污染;保持健康的景观,促进粮食和能源作物的生长;生物多样性为作物生产提供授粉昆虫;森林和洪泛平原生态系统提供生物量,作为全球碳汇和氧气供应(Bell 等,2016 年;Martinez- Hernandez 等,2017 年)。

Jie Gu, Associate Professor from Northwestern University, examines AI-empowered neural processing for intelligent human-machine interface and biomedical devices. Most conventional wearable devices rely on motion detection or image classifications to capture users’ activities. However, they lack the ability to decode neural signals generated by the human body. Neural signals, such as EEG, ECG, and EMG, offer a rich amount of information on a person’s physiological and psychological activities. Recognition and use of such signals present many new opportunities for applications in medical and daily commercial usage. Recently, artificial intelligence (AI) has been applied to neural signal processing, leading to a new generation of intelligent human-machine interfaces and biomedical devices.

Dr. Michael (Mike) Beer, Professor Emeritus at Harvard Business School, explains the “silent killers” of business success that top management are unaware of. For the past forty years, I and my colleagues at TruePoint, a management consulting firm I co-founded, have worked with courageous leaders willing to enable truth to speak to power - them and their top team - about barriers to their organization’s effectiveness and performance. Hundreds of organizations across the globe, in many different industries, in for-profit and not-for-profit organizations, have reported the same syndrome of seven highly interdependent barriers. We have called these barriers the “silent killers” of learning and change because, like hypertension and cholesterol in the human body, they are hidden barriers to organizational health and effectiveness.

Discover what you need to know about sepsis from a top group of experts, including their call for a national sepsis strategy to improve its knowledge, prevention, and treatment to save lives. The rapidly evolving health information ecosystem describes how the public, healthcare professionals, scientists and policymakers exchange knowledge that influences decisions. Our research team at Sepsis Canada studies how knowledge about the body’s response to infection permeates these groups. Sepsis is a costly severe response to infection that is a leading preventable cause of death in Canada.
