ASAT

Pada tahun 2007, China menembakkan senjata anti-satelit (ASAT) dan berhasil menghancurkan satelit bekasnya sendiri. Ini menunjukkan kemampuan China untuk menyerang sistem antariksa negara lain, terutama Amerika Serikat. China menantang polaritas Amerika Serikat melalui demonstrasi teknologi militer keantariksaannya.

North Korea's Threats: Nuclear Attacks with Electromagnetic Pulse. Hellenic Foundation for European & Foreign Policy ELIAMEP) Working Paper 85/2017  aims to deal with North Korea’s nuclear, missile and space program. It will analyse the North Korean threat of using the electromagnetic pulse (EMP) against the US or its allies. It will refer to the lessons that have been learned from nuclear tests in the atmosphere and in Outer Space in the past. Then it will refer to the US institutional actions to deal with the impact of the EMP threat, the public debate that is taking place, and the diplomatic moves to resolve the crisis with North Korea.

Το κείμενο αυτό στοχεύει να αναφερθεί συνοπτικά στο πυρηνικό, πυραυλικό και Διαστημικό Πρόγραμμα της Βόρειας Κορέας. Θα αναλύσει τη βορειοκορεατική απειλή της χρήσης του ηλεκτρομαγνητικού παλμού έναντι των ΗΠΑ. Θα αναφερθεί στα μαθήματα που έχουν καταγραφεί από πυρηνικές δοκιμές στην ατμόσφαιρα και στο Εξωατμοσφαιρικό Διάστημα. Θα δώσει στοιχεία από τις υπηρεσιακές ενέργειες που γίνονται στις ΗΠΑ για την αντιμετώπιση των επιπτώσεων από μια τέτοια απειλή, το δημόσιο διάλογο που γίνεται καθώς και στις διπλωματικές κινήσεις για την επίλυση της κρίσης με τη Βόρεια Κορέα.

Hydrated sodium calcium aluminosilicate (HSCAS), an anticaking agent for mixed feed, was added alone or simultaneously with a toxic Zearalenone (ZEN) dose to balb/c mice and was evaluated for its ability to restore damages induced by ZEN. The latter is a mycotoxin produced by fusarium genera; it is mainly known to induce several toxic effects such as hepatotoxicity, immunotoxicity and nephrotoxicity on animals and humans. The experimental approach consisted of eight treatments of six mice each by 400 mg/kg bw or 5 g/kg bw of HSCAS. Two experimental groups have received respectively ZEN alone at 40 (8% of LD50) and at 500 mg/kg bw (LD50). Two other groups have received ZEN at 40 or 500 mg/kg bw combined respectively with HSCAS at 400 mg/kg bw and 5 g/kg bw. The control groups received water or olive oil. Forty-eight hours after treatment, blood samples were collected for haematological and serum biochemical parameters measurements. ZEN treatment significantly increased hematocrit, ha...

In recent months, rare cases of thrombosis at unusual sites associated with thrombocytopenia, occurring within a typical risk window (i.e., 4-28 days) after receiving SARS CoV2 vaccines, have been reported. Healthcare professionals should be prepared to detect these cases on time. The Expert Panel of the Knowledge Management and Transfer Network conducted a free search of the related literature. With the available information and the clinical expertise of the working group, we formulated, reviewed, and endorsed recommendations for the timely suspicion, diagnosis (case definitions, the use of initial laboratory and imaging tests, specific tests), and management of these thrombotic conditions. This document is considered a living document that will be updated as new evidence emerges, and recommendations may change over time.
