DARCOF II. Danish research in Organic Food and Farming systems 2000-2005
The aim of this book is to present a comprehensive overview of the 41 research projects undertaken in the period 2000-2005 in the research programme DARCOF II.For each project there is a description of its background and objective in terms of which issues gave rise to the project and what the project aims to achieve. This is followed by a short description of the experiments or investigations that have been undertaken in the project. The general and applicable results derived from the project are finally described. For each project there is a reference to a project home page on www.darcof.dk. Via this page there is direct access to "Organic Eprints", which is the site containing all the project publications â both technical and scientific
The fifth most prevalent disease is being neglected by public health organisations
The progress towards reduction of global mortality has produced an epidemiological transition towards non-fatal diseases, which challenge the ability of the worldâs population to live in full health. Although traumatic dental injuries are not lethal, their treatment is more expensive (US$2 000 000â5 000 000 per million inhabitants) and time-consuming than that of all the other bodily injuries, making dental rehabilitation less likely among disadvantaged individuals. Since untreated traumatic dental injuries have a negative social, functional, and emotional effect in children and adolescents, differences in treatment of these injuries between children from different countries and social classes produce disparities in their quality of life
University Outreach: An Immodest Proposal
In Wisconsin we accord a grand mission to our university system: The boundaries of the campus are the boundaries of the state ... . (3, pp. 4-7) The University thus has an educational responsibility for all of the state\u27s citizens. Somehow it must creatively satisfy the information needs of individuals far more diverse than traditional students

NIR spectroscopy of the Sun and HD20010 - Compiling a new linelist in the NIR
Context: Effective temperature, surface gravity, and metallicity are basic
spectroscopic stellar parameters necessary to characterize a star or a
planetary system. Reliable atmospheric parameters for FGK stars have been
obtained mostly from methods that relay on high resolution and high
signal-to-noise optical spectroscopy. The advent of a new generation of high
resolution near-IR spectrographs opens the possibility of using classic
spectroscopic methods with high resolution and high signal-to-noise in the NIR
spectral window. Aims: We aim to compile a new iron line list in the NIR from a
solar spectrum to derive precise stellar atmospheric parameters, comparable to
the ones already obtained from high resolution optical spectra. The spectral
range covers 10 000 {\AA} to 25 000 {\AA}, which is equivalent to the Y, J, H,
and K bands. Methods: Our spectroscopic analysis is based on the iron
excitation and ionization balance done in LTE. We use a high resolution and
high signal-to-noise ratio spectrum of the Sun from the Kitt Peak telescope as
a starting point to compile the iron line list. The oscillator strengths (log
gf) of the iron lines were calibrated for the Sun. The abundance analysis was
done using the MOOG code after measuring equivalent widths of 357 solar iron
lines. Results: We successfully derived stellar atmospheric parameters for the
Sun. Furthermore, we analysed HD20010, a F8IV star, from which we derived
stellar atmospheric parameters using the same line list as for the Sun. The
spectrum was obtained from the CRIRES- POP database. The results are compatible
with the ones found in the literature, confirming the reliability of our line
list. However, due to the quality of the data we obtain large errors.Comment: 9 pages and 9 figure
NA0D â The new traumatic dental injury classification of the world health organization
An accurate, clear, and easy-to-
use
traumatic dental injury (TDI) classification and definition
system is a prerequisite for proper diagnosis, study, and treatment. However,
more than 50 classifications have been used in the past. The ideal solution would be
that TDIs are adequately classified within the International Classification of Diseases
(ICD), endorsed by the World Health Organization (WHO). TDI classification provided
by the 11th Revision of the ICD (ICD-11),
released in 2018, and previous Revisions,
failed to classify TDIs satisfactorily. Therefore, in December 2018, a proposal was submitted
by Dr's Stefano Petti, Jens Ove Andreasen, Ulf Glendor, and Lars Andersson, to
the ICD-11,
asking for a change of the existing TDI classification. Proposal #2130 highlighted
the TDI paradox, the fifth most frequent disease/condition neglected by most
public health agencies in the world, and the limits of ICD-11
classification. Namely,
injuries of teeth and periodontal tissues were located in two separate blocks that did
not mention dental/periodontal tissues; infraction, concussion, and subluxation were
not coded; most TDIs lacked description; and tooth fractures were described through
bone fracture descriptions (e.g., comminuted, compression, and fissured fractures).
These limitations led to TDI mis-reporting,
under-reporting,
and non-specific
reporting
by untrained non-dental
healthcare providers. In addition, no scientific articles on
TDIs, present in PubMed, Scopus, and Web-of-
Science,
used the ICD classification.
Proposal #2130 suggested to adopt the Andreasen classification, the most widely
acknowledged classification used in dental traumatology. The Proposal was reviewed
by two WHO teams, two scientific Committees, one WHO Collaborating Center, and
the Department of Non-Communicable
Disease Prevention at WHO headquarters,
and it underwent two voting sessions. In March 2022, the Andreasen classification
was accepted integrally. A new entity was generated, called NA0D, âInjury of teeth
or supporting structuresâ (https://icd.who.int/brows e11/l-m/
en#/http://id.
who.int/icd /ent ity/141 3338122). Hopefully, this will contribute to increasing
the public awareness, and the dental profession's management, of TDIs
