Technical Set Backs Slow Search for Boy in Hole in Spain
MADRID (AP) — Spanish rescuers on the fourth day of a frantic race to reach a 2-year-old boy trapped in a borehole clung to hope of finding the toddler alive despite massive setbacks in getting to the bottom of the deep and narrow cavity
The operation to rescue Julen Rosello from the shaft has gripped Spain since he fell into it Sunday during a family meal in the countryside northeast of Malaga.
Adults can't fit in the 110-meter (360-foot) deep, 25 centimeter-diameter (10-inch) hole and machinery hit an obstruction of hardened soil and a stone about two-thirds of the way down. Rescue teams have been unable to break throu...

Have public environmental appeals inspired green total factor productivity? empirical evidence from Baidu Environmental Search Index
Environ Sci Pollut Res Int. 2022 Nov 24. doi: 10.1007/s11356-022-23993-8. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTLiteratures focus on whether formal environmental regulatory policies can effectively stimulate green total factor productivity (GTFP), but generally ignore the role of informal institutions such as public environmental appeals. This paper uses inter-provincial panel data and Non-Radial Slacks-Based Measure (SBM) model to measure GTFP. With the Baidu Environmental Search Index presenting the public environmental appeals, the dynamic panel System Generalized Method of Moments (SYS-GMM) and Differenced Generalized Method o...

UK scientists petition government for £1m to search for alien life
A group of British astronomers are hoping to launch a new mission to search for signs of extraterrestrial life in space. The group of scientists from 11 UK universities have dubbed themselves the UK Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) Research Network, and are currently petitioning the government for a small part of the UK’s science budget - £1m in annual funding.

Discussion
Dr Fred A. Weaver (Los Angeles, Calif). I would like to thank the Western Vascular Society and the Program Committee for the opportunity to discuss this paper. With the wide adoption of the electronic health record and a variety of registries dedicated to tracking surgical patient outcomes, the topic of this paper has become an area of interest to every practicing vascular surgeon. Why should vascular surgeons be interested in or even care about such registries? Because, I believe, in the not too distant future all our individual, group, and healthcare system outcomes will be tracked by the Federal government and what is l...

Alien resurrection: $135m search for life in outer space rescues Parkes telescope
Radio telescope, which was in danger of closing down due to federal government funding cuts, wins reprieve from project funded by Russian internet billionaireA $135m search for extraterrestrial life backed by physicist Stephen Hawking has thrown an unlikely lifeline to the Parkes radio telescope in New South Wales, which was facing closure after successive federal government funding cuts.The 54-year-old telescope, located in a sheep paddock five hours’ west of Sydney, is one of only two observatories chosen for the Breakthrough Listen project, an unprecedented search for alien signals starting in January 2016.

Finding “hard to find” literature on hard to find groups: A novel technique to search grey literature on refugees and asylum seekers
Abstract
There is a lack of information on how to execute effective searches of the grey literature on refugee and asylum seeker groups for inclusion in systematic reviews. High‐quality government reports and other grey literature relevant to refugees may not always be identified in conventional literature searches. During the process of conducting a recent systematic review, we developed a novel strategy for systematically searching international refugee and asylum seeker‐related grey literature. The approach targets governmental health departments and statistical agencies, who have considerable access to refugee and ...

The Search for Mexico ’s Earthquake Survivors Enters a Fourth Day, With Some Successes
(MEXICO CITY) —Survivors are still being pulled from rubble in Mexico City as rescue operations stretch into a fourth day Friday, spurring hope among desperate relatives gathered at the sites of buildings collapsed by a magnitude 7.1 earthquake.
Mexico’s federal police said several people were lifted out of the debris of two buildings Thursday. Rescuers removed or broke through slabs until they found cracks that allowed workers to wiggle through to reach the victims, then lift them to safety. The city government said 60 people in all had been rescued since the quake hit at midday Tuesday.
Still, with the hours...

‘Search For & Refuse All Deliveries. ’ Amid Trade War, Trump Urges USPS Crackdown on Fentanyl Trafficking From China
With tensions over trade with China escalating, President Donald Trump said on Friday that he is “ordering” the U.S. postal service and express shipping companies to “SEARCH FOR & REFUSE all deliveries of fentanyl,” a deadly synthetic opioid. American officials have long blamed China for the influx of fentanyl and related drugs reaching U.S. borders — sent directly and trafficked via other countries — while federal efforts to limit (if not stop outright) their import have long been underway.

Too Much Information may not always be a Good Thing
Most contemporary vascular surgeons practice in an increasingly cost-constrained environment where the value of an intervention is primarily dictated by outcome. In theory, at least, this should drive a culture towards delivering optimal, cost-effective care. However, this may not always be the case. The UK government continues to publish annual individual surgeon specific mortality and morbidity data following abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) surgery and carotid endarterectomy, but in the current issue of the European Journal of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery, Karthikesalingam et al.

Placental growth factor deficiency is associated with impaired cerebral vascular development in mice
STUDY HYPOTHESIS
Placental growth factor (PGF) is expressed in the developing mouse brain and contributes to vascularization and vessel patterning.
STUDY FINDING
PGF is dynamically expressed in fetal mouse brain, particularly forebrain, and is essential for normal cerebrovascular development.
WHAT IS KNOWN ALREADY
PGF rises in maternal plasma over normal human and mouse pregnancy but is low in many women with the acute onset hypertensive syndrome, pre-eclampsia (PE). Little is known about the expression of PGF in the fetus during PE. Pgf –/– mice appear normal but recently cerebral vascular defects were docum...

The ecumenical role of science and scientific societies in the face of adversity
To my great disappointment, I read the official statement of the European Society for Vascular Surgery (ESVS) dated the 9th of May 2022 that membership of Russian and Belarussian vascular specialists is suspended. This decision was based on ESVS ’ wish to convey a message that actions of the Russian government and the defence of such actions by the Belarussian government are not supported by the ESVS.

Politics of Pollution: China's Oil Giants Take a Choke-Hold on Power
By Sui-Lee Wee and Hui LiBEIJING (Reuters) - The search for culprits behind the rancid haze enveloping China's capital has turned a spotlight on the country's two largest oil companies and their resistance to tougher fuel standards.Bureaucratic fighting between the environment ministry on the one hand and China National Petroleum Corp (CNPC) and Sinopec Group on the other has thwarted stricter emission standards for diesel trucks and buses -- a main cause of air pollution blanketing dozens of China's cities.To be sure, many sources contribute to air pollution levels that hit records in January, but analysts say the oil com...

China and Norway May Team Up in Search for Arctic Oil
By Gwladys FoucheOSLO (Reuters) - Norway is deciding whether to team up with China to explore for oil in Iceland, Icelandic authorities said, setting up a rare cooperation for the two since a diplomatic row over the award of the 2010 Nobel Peace Prize to Chinese dissident Liu Xiaobo.Norway has the right to join an exploration license with Chinese oil firm CNOOC to look for oil in the waters between Iceland and Norway's Jan Mayen, a tiny speck of land in the Arctic.Communications between Beijing and Oslo have been mostly cool since the 2010 Peace Prize and collaboration in Iceland may be a signal that relations are on the m...
