Energy activist Jon Lund helped bring the removal of the hydroelectric Edwards D
No full textEnergy activist Jon Lund helped bring the removal of the hydroelectric Edwards Dam on the Kennebec River, the first federal order of its kind in the nation. He had been Maine\u27s first full-time attorney general in 1973, in which position he created the office\u27s environmental law section and did extensive work in the North Woods and Baxter State Park.

Exploring the impact of short-term adherence to physical activity guidelines to improve the intrinsic capacity of older adults
No full textObjectivesCardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) and skeletal muscle mass (SMM) are both key parameters of intrinsic capacity. To date, the impact of adherence to physical activity guidelines by older adults on these facets is poorly understood. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the impact of 4 weeks adherence to UK physical activity guidelines on parameters of intrinsic capacity in older adults, with a secondary aim to determine the utility of a bedside-suitable predictive model of assessing CRF for predicting change in this parameter.Methods14 older adults (22 % female, age: 66–80 years) completed a 4-week intervention in which they adhered to UK physical activity guidelines via a combination of supervised and home-based exercise. In addition to assessments of CRF via cardiopulmonary exercise testing and SMM via ultrasonography, whole-body and handgrip strength (HGS) and step-box test (SBT) variables were also measured before and after the intervention.ResultsOur intervention resulted in significant increases in CRF (ventilatory threshold (VT): +2.7 ± 0.9 mL/kg/min, p<0.01), vastus lateralis muscle thickness (+9 %, p=0.02) and whole-body strength (+47 %, p<0.01). There was no change in HGS or SBT performance. The bedside-suitable predictive model of CRF was not able to determine change (R2=0.11, p=0.25).ConclusionsAdherence to UK physical activity guidelines for just 4 weeks improves the CRF, SMM and whole-body strength of community-dwelling older adults. Collectively, these findings illustrate that adherence to current guidelines can improve key aspects of intrinsic capacity in older individuals. The impact of such interventions in populations at risk of accelerated physiological decline, warrant further investigation

Coastal erosion at Hai Hau beach in the Red River Delta, Vietnam
No full textMany coastal areas in Vietnam suffer from erosion. One of the worst affected areas is the Hai Hau beach, located in the Red River delta in northern Vietnam. Over the last hundred years, vast parts of the beach have eroded at an average rate of approximately 25 m per year. Important agricultural land has vanished into the sea and families have been forced to abandon their houses because of the erosion is not explained but suggested reasons are for example dam construction, weak dikes and unfavourable hydrodynamic conditions The wave climate, and thus the sediment transport, in northernVietnam is highly dependent on the two main wind directions from the northeast and the south, because of the winter and ) summer monsoon, respectively . Vietnam is also.subject to sporadic typhoons that cause great damage when they strike the coast, especially in combination with storm surges. Based on a 20-year long wind record from 1976 to 1995, obtained from two islands outside the coast of northern Vietnam, the longshore transport rate over these years was determined by a one dimensional numerical wave model. The model consists of three independent parts: offshore waves, nearshore waves and -longshore sediment transport. This model indicates a southward-directed transport along the Hai Hau beach. In addition, sea maps and satellite photos from the 20th century were compared in order to find out the historic shoreline development generally. The main protection method that is generally used in Vietnam, as well as in Hai Hau district, is sea dikes. These dikes consist of an earth core covered by a revetment layer of cobbles. Unfortunately, these dikes are not strong enough to withstand the impact of harsh waves for any longer periods. Historically, a line of sea dikes has been destroyed at least once every decade. A couple of hundred meters behind the front sea dike typically lies another dike, ready to meet the waves when the first one breaches. Consequently, this defence arrangement is often recognized as a double dike system, but also as a retreat strategy since the erosion problem is not solved, just slowed down. The major cause of erosion is likely not due to human activities (such as dam buildings,or river cut-offs), instead because of the natural properties of Hai Hau coastal area, seasonally bounded longshore currents in combination with weak sea dikes favour erosion.KWP-collectio
The Historical Museum and archaeological research at Lund University 1805-2005
No full text"This account of the Historical Museum and Archaeological Research at Lund University 1805-2005 consists of two parts; a reprint of the history of the Museum including the Archaeological Department until 1984, published that year, and a part comprimising the development during the subsequent twenty years. It describes and discusses the changges and, if possible, the causes of change.The author, Berta Stjernquist, Dr. phil. and Professor emeritus, has worked at the Historical Museum since the 1940s; during 1974-1984 as Professor of Archaeology and Head of the Institute.
