“…Fish provide more than half of dietary protein in many African, South Asian and small island nations, but ocean acidification has reduced the quality and quantity of seafood.16 Changes in land use have forced tens of thousands of species into closer contact, increasing the exchange of pathogens and the emergence of new diseases and pandemics.17 People losing contact with the natural environment and the declining loss in biodiversity have both been linked to increases in non-communicable, autoimmune, and inflammatory diseases and metabolic, allergic and neuropsychiatric disorders.10,18  For Indigenous people, caring for and connecting with nature is especially important for their health.19 Nature has also been an important source of medicines, and thus reduced diversity also constrains the discovery of new medicines. …”

Protecting the Autonomy of Patients with Severe Mental Illness Through Psychiatric Advance Directive Peer-Facilitation by Nicholas Karasik

“…Guiding Distributive Justice: Capability Theory Capability theory is an account of justice opportunity that places a fundamental moral significance on individuals' ability to reach proper functioning and well-being.[52] Whether or not an individual can make use of a particular set of resources and convert them into a state of functioning depends on personal, sociopolitical, and environmental conditions ("conversion factors").[53] In this sense, liberty is not the absence of restraint from others or institutions but the freedom achieved through capability-enhancing relationships.[54] Within the context of bioethics, capability theory shifts focus toward creating circumstances by which individuals can direct their lives as they choose.[55] Acting in accordance with the principle of beneficence, peer-support specialists could enhance the capability of patients to be self-determined and autonomous, which would promote patient well-being and empowerment.[56] Those living with SMI, such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, are among the most disadvantaged in society, experiencing social and economic hardship related to their illness.[57] These individuals are often feared and rejected by others, which increases depression, lowers self-esteem, and engenders feelings of social isolation.[58] Compounding their challenges, especially for those facing structural inequalities, is insufficient access to appropriate mental health services supporting recovery.[59] Capability theory provides a sound justification for the resource distribution necessary to create and sustain a thriving network of peer-support specialists, to which those with SMI currently do not have access. …”

The effect of immersion time in a benzotriazole solution on anodic behaviour of AgCu50 alloy by Vesna Grekulović, Vujasinović Mirjana Rajčić, Zoran Stević

“…Electrochemical behavior of silver ,copper and AgCu50 alloy after their immersion in 0.01 mol/dm3 benzotriazole solution for 30, 360, 720 i 1440 minutes, was investigated in 0.1 mol/dm3 NaOH using the cyclic voltammetry method. Currents on cyclic voltammograms for both, pure silver, pure copper and AgCu50 alloy recorded after imemersion in the benzotriazole solution are lower than the corresponding currents obtained without the contact of the metals with BTA. …”
