Réflexions sur l’identité dans la ville. L’identité d’un être, c’est son adresse, là où il habite. On appartient à des lieux, soit l’endroit où on est né, soit celui où on habite. On peut n’appartenir à aucun lieu, ce qui est, à mon avis, appartenir à un non-lieu : l’absence de lieu, cela v

Climate Change and Health
ABSTRACT: Climate change has multiple direct and indirect consequences for human health. Heat waves affect health directly and are projected to take an increasing toll in developed and underdeveloped nations. The 2003 summer heatwave in Europe -- an event six standard deviations from the mean -- led to 21-35,000 excess deaths in five nations, extensive wildfires, crop failures, nuclear plant shutdowns and melted 10% of the Alpine glacial mass. This event and Hurricane Katrina in 2005 demonstrate

In this unit, we’ll examine why this controversy took on such a life of its own and why parents still agonise about the vaccine.
3.4.1 Pharmaceuticals or nutraceuticals? Nutraceuticals refers to the use of food supplements or herbal remedies for health purposes. For example, certain ingredients of the herb St John's Wort can be as effective in managing depression as conventional anti-depressants, with fewer negative side effects (Greeson et al., 2001).
