Sweden’s Crown Princess marries long-time boyfriend

Monday, June 21, 2010

Sweden’s first royal wedding since 1976 took place Saturday when Crown Princess Victoria, 32, married her long-time boyfriend and former personal trainer, Daniel Westling, 36. The ceremony took place at Stockholm Cathedral.

Over 1,200 guests, including many rulers, politicians, royals and other dignitaries from across the world, attended the wedding, which cost an estimated 20 million Swedish kronor. Victoria wore a wedding dress with five-metre long train designed by Pär Engsheden. She wore the same crown that her mother, Queen Silvia, wore on her wedding day 34 years previously, also on June 19. Victoria’s father, King Carl XVI Gustaf, walked Victoria down the aisle, which was deemed untraditional by many. In Sweden, the bride and groom usually walk down the aisle together, emphasising the country’s views on equality. Victoria met with Daniel half-way to the altar, where they exchanged brief kisses, and, to the sounds of the wedding march, made their way to the the silver altar. She was followed by ten bridesmaids. The couple both had tears in their eyes as they said their vows, and apart from fumbling when they exchanged rings, the ceremony went smoothly.

Following the ceremony, the couple headed a fast-paced procession through central Stockholm on a horse-drawn carriage, flanked by police and security. Up to 500,000 people are thought to have lined the streets. They then boarded the Vasaorden, the same royal barge Victoria’s parents used in their wedding, and traveled through Stockholm’s waters, accompanied by flyover of 18 fighter jets near the end of the procession. A wedding banquet followed in the in the Hall of State of the Royal Palace.

Controversy has surrounded the engagement and wedding between the Crown Princess and Westling, a “commoner”. Victoria met Westling as she was recovering from bulemia in 2002. He owned a chain of gymnasiums and was brought in to help bring Victoria back to full health. Westling was raised in a middle-class family in Ockelbo, in central Sweden. His father managed a social services centre, and his mother worked in a post office. When the relationship was made public, Westling was mocked as an outsider and the king was reportedly horrified at the thought of his daughter marrying a “commoner”, even though he did so when he married Silvia. Last year, Westling underwent transplant surgery for a congenital kidney disorder. The Swedish public have been assured that he will be able to have children and that his illness will not be passed on to his offspring.

Westling underwent years of training to prepare for his new role in the royal family, including lessons in etiquette, elocution, and multi-lingual small talk; and a makeover that saw his hair being cropped short, and his plain-looking glasses and clothes being replaced by designer-wear.

Upon marrying the Crown Princess, Westling took his wife’s ducal title and is granted the style “His Royal Highness”. He is now known as HRH Prince Daniel, Duke of Västergötland. He also has his own coat-of-arms and monogram. When Victoria assumes the throne and becomes Queen, Daniel will not become King, but assume a supportive role, similar to that of Prince Phillip, the husband of the United Kingdom’s Queen Elizabeth II.

Lancet cancer study a hoax

Friday, January 20, 2006

In Norway, the Oslo and Akershus County Medical Officer has announced that it is launching an inquiry into a possible scientific hoax, involving cancer researchers from Norway, the U.S. and Finland.

In October 2005, the Norwegian researcher Jon Sudbø along with 13 co-authors published the study in the prestigious medical journal The Lancet. The study claimed to detect a positive effect of ibuprofen in preventing oral cancer in smokers, based on a controlled case-study, entailing several hundred patients. On the basis of this study, a broader prospective multicenter study was to be started in 2006, partly funded by the U.S. National Cancer Institute.

On January 17th 2006 however, the Radium Hospital in Oslo, Norway announced that there were strong suggestions that the whole study was a hoax. The patient material presented appeared to be invented, and thus the whole study seems to be fraudulent.

The Radium Hospital in Oslo has hired an autonomous investigative committee to look into the matter, led by the Swedish epidemiologist Anders Ekbom from the Karolinska Institute, Stockholm. The editor of the Lancet, Richard Horton, said that this was the worst research fraud he has dealt with in his time at The Lancet.

Half a million z?oty vanish from the bank account of Lech Wa??sa

Tuesday, July 1, 2008

According to Polish radio station, RMF FM, almost half a million Polish z?oty (almost US$ 235,000) vanished from the bank account of Lech Wa??sa, a former President of Poland and the original leader of Solidarno?? (Solidarity). The case is already under investigation by the public prosecutor in Gda?sk.

The radio station identified the suspect as a former employee of Millennium Bank and the son of a former co-worker of Wa??sa. The Prokuratura alleges that Micha? L. stole about 870,000 z?oty (about US$408,000) from two bank accounts, one of which belongs to Wa??sa. The bank has already returned all the money.

Lech Wa??sa downplayed the situation. “I have all the money I had. I can show you I haven’t lost even a grosz“, he said in a interview with RMF FM.

Surgeons reattach boy’s three severed limbs

Tuesday, March 29, 2005A team of Australian surgeons yesterday reattached both hands and one foot to 10-year-old Perth boy, Terry Vo, after a brick wall which collapsed during a game of basketball fell on him, severing the limbs. The wall gave way while Terry performed a slam-dunk, during a game at a friend’s birthday party.

The boy was today awake and smiling, still in some pain but in good spirits and expected to make a full recovery, according to plastic surgeon, Mr Robert Love.

“What we have is parts that are very much alive so the reattached limbs are certainly pink, well perfused and are indeed moving,” Mr Love told reporters today.

“The fact that he is moving his fingers, and of course when he wakes up he will move both fingers and toes, is not a surprise,” Mr Love had said yesterday.

“The question is more the sensory return that he will get in the hand itself and the fine movements he will have in the fingers and the toes, and that will come with time, hopefully. We will assess that over the next 18 months to two years.

“I’m sure that he’ll enjoy a game of basketball in the future.”

The weight and force of the collapse, and the sharp brick edges, resulted in the three limbs being cut through about 7cm above the wrists and ankle.

Terry’s father Tan said of his only child, the injuries were terrible, “I was scared to look at him, a horrible thing.”

The hands and foot were placed in an ice-filled Esky and rushed to hospital with the boy, where three teams of medical experts were assembled, and he was given a blood transfusion after experiencing massive blood loss. Eight hours of complex micro-surgery on Saturday night were followed by a further two hours of skin grafts yesterday.

“What he will lose because it was such a large zone of traumatised skin and muscle and so on, he will lose some of the skin so he’ll certainly require lots of further surgery regardless of whether the skin survives,” said Mr Love said today.

The boy was kept unconscious under anaesthetic between the two procedures. In an interview yesterday, Mr Love explained why:

“He could have actually been woken up the next day. Because we were intending to take him back to theatre for a second look, to look at the traumatised skin flaps, to close more of his wounds and to do split skin grafting, it was felt the best thing to do would be to keep him stable and to keep him anaesthetised.”

Professor Wayne Morrison, director of the respected Bernard O’Brien Institute of Microsurgery and head of plastic and hand surgery at Melbourne’s St Vincent’s Hospital, said he believed the operation to be a world first.

With the development of biotechnology in the modern information age, humans have conducted more and more in-depth research and development on enzymes. Correspondingly, the application of enzymes in medicine has become more and more extensive. Through a review of recent research papers on the application of enzymes in medicine, it provides certain technical guidance and references for further research on enzymes in human and animal medicine. This article summarizes the application of some enzymes in the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of diseases from the aspects of enzymatic diagnosis and medicinal enzymes, confirming the indispensable importance and significance of diagnostic enzyme in our lives.

  1. Application of enzymes in disease diagnosis

Enzymology diagnosis is a method to determine the content and changes of certain substances in the body through the catalytic action of enzymes, and to diagnose diseases through changes in the original enzyme activity in the body. Under pathological conditions, when cells are damaged, the enzyme in the cells will be released into body fluids, so the activity and content of enzymes in body fluids can be measured for disease diagnosis. And because of the high efficiency and specificity of enzyme catalysis, the enzymatic diagnosis method is reliable, simple and fast, and has been widely used in clinical diagnosis.

The enzyme detection method mainly detects its activity through the enzyme activity level and the enzyme activity ratio. In general, the content of certain enzymes in the body fluids of healthy people is relatively constant, but when some diseases occur, the activity levels of certain enzymes in the body fluids will change greatly. Therefore, it is possible to make a preliminary judgment on the occurrence and location of the disease by measuring the activity level of specific enzymes in body fluids. The enzyme activity level and the area under the enzyme activity time curve are related to the extent or amount of tissue cell damage. If the enzyme activity increases in a large amount, it indicates a large amount of tissue damage, such as liver and skeletal muscle. The severity of cell damage can be expressed by the ratio of mitochondrial and cytoplasmic enzyme activities. Severe cell damage or necrosis will cause enzymes in mitochondria to be released into the blood, such as m-AST and glutamate dehydrogenase (GLDH) in mitochondria.

Plasma enzyme levels are only obtained through a special structure or tissue in the same organ, and the enzyme activity produced in all cells of the organ is roughly the same. For example, the activity of ALT, ?-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT) or GLDH is related to aminotransferase in liver disease, and the ratio of these enzymes can be used for differential diagnosis in acute liver disease. In addition, within a certain range, the ratio of AST/ALT can also reflect the severity and severity of chronic hepatitis. However, when the liver is damaged to a certain degree, the sensitivity of enzymatic detection will be affected.

There are some specific enzymes in different tissues or organs of the human body (these enzymes are mainly synthesized in a certain tissue or organ, but rarely come from other tissues). When a certain disease occurs or cell tissue is damaged, these cells are destroyed, and the synthesis of specific enzymes is reduced and the activity is reduced. Therefore, we can determine the location of disease or cell damage by detecting the activity of some specific enzymes corresponding to a certain organ or tissue contained in body fluids. For example, serum cholinesterase (CHE) is a non-specific esterase that is synthesized by liver cells and released into the blood. When liver cells are diseased or the intestinal-hepatic circulation is impaired, the synthesis of CHE decreases and the activity decreases.

  1. Application of enzymes in disease treatment and prevention

Enzymes can be used as drugs to treat many diseases, and enzymes used as drugs for disease treatment and prevention are called medicinal enzymes. As a molecular-level therapeutic drug, enzyme preparations have the characteristics of specificity, high efficiency, and low toxic and side effects. They play an important role in preventing and treating diseases and anti-aging. Fibrinolytic enzymes are proteins with biological activity, which can activate the fibrinolytic system in the body and promote fibrinolysis. They are widely used clinically in the treatment of myocardial infarction and various thrombotic diseases.

Many scholars have isolated fibrinolytic active substances from the metabolites of microorganisms, such as Streptocolcus Hemolytius, Streptokinase, Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylokinase and Nattokinase.

  1. Application of enzyme catalysis process in pharmacy

Enzyme catalysis, as an important part of chiral technology and green chemistry, has been applied to the production of some chemical drugs in the pharmaceutical industry. In addition, the enzyme catalysis process has the characteristics of green, high efficiency, mild action conditions, and can be carried out in the water phase, and has high regioselectivity and stereoselectivity.

In conclusion, traditional chemical process pharmacy has the disadvantages of consumables, time-consuming and labor-intensive, and waste generation. Gradually people began to study biotechnology pharmacy, and the main research object of using biotechnology pharmacy was enzymes. Enzyme reaction has the characteristics of specificity and high efficiency, which can be used for targeted diagnosis and treatment of diseases. It uses the characteristics of specific enzyme catalysis, high efficiency and mild action conditions to produce drugs, and has the advantage of small side effects. This shows that enzymes lie in our lives and have extremely important meaning and status. However, when using enzyme-catalyzed technology to manufacture drugs, it is necessary to know that different enzymes require different reaction conditions. Therefore, the application of more reasonable and easy-to-operate enzyme reactors for industrial production of drugs needs to continue in-depth development and research.

South Africa police staff arrested for fraud

Monday, June 2, 2008

South African media have reported that police staff in South Africa were arrested on allegations of fraud. Police said Saturday that nine people including six employees of the South African Police Service were arrested in Mpumalanga.

A spokesperson for the police service, Captain Leonard Hlathi, said that the other three individuals have resigned from the police. Hlathi said that the individuals were arrested for fraud, corruption and theft, and allegedly defrauded South Africa of approximately R2.5-million (about US$327,000) between 2003 and 2007.

This was a syndicate that has cost the police service more than R2,5million and we believe we have made a breakthrough.

“This was a syndicate that has cost the police service more than R2.5million and we believe we have made a breakthrough,” said Hlathi.

Hlathi told the South African Press Association that the investigation began in April 2007 and showed that the suspects registered companies in the South Africa police database, though no existing files were found for the companies themselves. He said that three out of the five companies were found not to exist. The suspects were arrested on Friday by the Mpumalanga organized crime unit.

“We have a warrant of arrest that we are happy to execute against you right away. You are now under arrest on charges of fraud and you have the right to remain silent if you so wish,” said Superintendent Obed Ngwenya, police organized crime unit head, prior to arresting one of the individuals.

The individuals arrested appeared in the Nelspruit magistrate’s court on Friday. They were released with a subsequent court date set for June 21.

KKE: Interview with the Greek Communist Party
Posted by , No Comments

Thursday, May 13, 2010

Wikinews reporter Iain Macdonald has performed an interview with Dr Isabella Margara, a London-based member of the Communist Party of Greece (KKE). In the interview Margara sets out the communist response to current events in Greece as well as discussing the viability of a communist economy for the nation. She also hit back at Petros Tzomakas, a member of another Greek far-left party which criticised KKE in a previous interview.

The interview comes amid tensions in cash-strapped Greece, where the government is introducing controversial austerity measures to try to ease the nation’s debt-problem. An international rescue package has been prepared by European Union member states and the International Monetary Fund – should Greece require a bailout; protests have been held against government attempts to manage the economic situation.

Tunisian Prime Minister signs decree to ban face veils in public institutions, government offices

Tunisian Prime Minister signs decree to ban face veils in public institutions, government offices
Posted by , No Comments

Monday, July 8, 2019

On Friday, Youssef Chahed, the Prime Minister of Tunisia, signed a government decree banning anyone wearing a niqab from entering a public institution or government offices. A niqab is a face-veil, which covers almost the entire face, and is commonly worn by Muslim females as a religious garment.

“Chahed signed a government decree that bars any person with an undisclosed face from access to public headquarters, administrations, institutions, for security reasons”, a government official said. This decision comes after a couple of suicide bombings took place in the country’s capital, Tunis, last month. Reportedly, two people were killed and at least eight people were injured in a suicide bombing that happened on June 27. According to eyewitness reports, the suicide bomber wore a face veil covering, the niqab. In the span of one week, at least three suicide bombings took place in Tunisia. The militant organisation, the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, claimed responsibility for all three attacks.

Speaking to Agence France-Presse, the president of the Tunisian League for the Defence of Human Rights, Jamel Msallem, said, “We are for the freedom to dress, but today with the current situation and the terrorist threats in Tunisia and across the region we find justifications for this decision”. A member of the Tunisian Parliament, Samir Dilou said, “Tunisia is facing terrorist attacks, so every measure which is led by security motives is understandable”.

After an attack in the capital city in 2015, a bill was proposed in 2016 for banning the niqab, but was not passed. Souhail Alouini, a member of Parliament, said, “We proposed a bill in 2016 about this subject and it has still not been debated […] Maybe it is time now.”

Tunisia’s neighbouring Muslim-majority African countries including Algeria and Morocco have cited security concerns to impose bans on niqabs. Previously, another Islamic religious garment, the hijab, was banned in Tunisian public offices during Zine El Abidine Ben Ali’s Presidency. That ban was lifted in 2011.
