Seasonal variation in cardiovascular disease risk factors in a subarctic population : the Tromso Study 1979-2008

Background Seasonal changes in cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors may be due to exposure to seasonal environmental variables like temperature and acute infections or seasonal behavioural patterns in physical activity and diet. Investigating the seasonal pattern of risk factors should help determine the causes of the seasonal pattern in CVD. Few studies have investigated the seasonal variation in risk factors using repeated measurements from the same individual, which is important as individual and population seasonal patterns may differ. Methods The authors investigated the seasonal pattern in systolic and diastolic blood pressure, heart rate, body weight, total cholesterol, triglycerides, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, C reactive protein and fibrinogen. Measurements came from 38 037 participants in the population-based cohort, the Tromsø Study, examined up to eight times from 1979 to 2008. Individual and population seasonal patterns were estimated using a cosinor in a mixed model. Results All risk factors had a highly statistically significant seasonal pattern with a peak time in winter, except for triglycerides (peak in autumn), C reactive protein and fibrinogen (peak in spring). The sizes of the seasonal variations were clinically modest. Conclusions Although the authors found highly statistically significant individual seasonal patterns for all risk factors, the sizes of the changes were modest, probably because this subarctic population is well adapted to a harsh climate. Better protection against seasonal risk factors like cold weather could help reduce the winter excess in CVD observed in milder climates.

Grenada, Education and Revolution, 1979-83

Grenada’s New Jewel Movement, led by Maurice Bishop, was the first indigenous political grouping in the history of the English-speaking Caribbean to overthrow an existing government by armed force. Yet most of the four and a half years of the Revolution (1979-83) were characterized by considerable popular support for the new People’s Revolutionary Government before it came to it’s tragic, unexpected and shocking end in October 1983. Social, economic and political change seems possible in the 1970s and ‘80s. People in newly decolonizing countries were encouraged by the beginnings of the Non-Aligned Movement of Third World nations demanding new international economic order that would win them some economic justice after the ravages of colonialism. People also saw that some radical regimes, such as that led by Michael Manley in Jamaica and the Sandinistas in Nicaragua, were articulating and implementing basic rights that held the promise of countering the social and political oppression that they had endured throughout the centuries of colonial history. A majority of Grenadians committed themselves to fighting by the side of the People’s Revolutionary Government for such new goals. This chapter will analyse how the Grenada Revolution reconceptualised the education, planned new goals, and implemented bold new educational policies. It will discuss the extent to which the government and people were able to reshape education as a tool for national reconstruction and the raising of national consciousness.

Combined Jewish Philanthropies (Boston, Mass.) records, undated, 1865-1989 (bulk 1942-1979)

The Combined Jewish Philanthropies (CJP) of Boston, Massachusetts is the oldest federated Jewish philanthropy in the United States. The current incarnation of CJP was formed in 1960, when two separate federated philanthropies – the Combined Jewish Appeal and Associated Jewish Philanthropies – merged to create a single organization dedicated to serving the needs of Boston’s Jewish community. CJP’s records contain the history of several other organizations, from the forerunners of the current Federation to the Jewish institutions supported by CJP. Their beginnings can be traced to the founding of the United Hebrew Benevolent Association (UHBA) in 1864 at the Pleasant Street Synagogue (now Temple Israel.) This collection contains meeting minutes, correspondence, photographs, scrapbooks, financial documents and ledgers, appeal information, publicity, programs, brochures and other written documents relating CJP’s history.

[Discurso do Deputado Odacir Klein : Sessão Conjunta do Congresso Nacional de 21 de junho de 1979]

Em aparte a pronunciamento em que o Deputado Heitor de Alencar Furtado discute a PEC 2/79, sustenta que a falta de uma representação política que fiscalize os atos do Governo do Distrito Federal enseja ocorrências como a do emprego de vultosos recursos na construção de um parque recreativo, apesar da carência total nos setores de saúde e educação. Observa que a Comissão do Distrito Federal do Senado, o único órgão fiscalizador dos atos do Governo do Distrito Federal, não é composta de representantes eleitos pelos habitantes da Capital da República.

[Discurso do Deputado Adhemar Santillo : Sessão da Câmara dos Deputados de 21 de junho de 1979]

Discute a PEC n. 20/79, de iniciativa do Senador Itamar Franco, que altera o § 1º do art. 17, o item III do art. 42, suprime o item V do mesmo artigo e remunera os itens seguintes, a fim de dar representação política ao Distrito Federal. Justifica a ausência de representantes das associações de classe e do povo de Brasília nas galerias, em face do conhecimento antecipado, difundido pela imprensa, de que ao Governo não interessa que seja criada representação política no Distrito Federal. Defende que o servidor público, como qualquer outro cidadão tem que exercer o seu direito de voto. Alerta sobre os desmandos administrativos que ocorrem devido à falta de fiscalização e sobre as dívidas assumidas por administrações anteriores em virtude da má aplicação do dinheiro público.
