en-usCopyrightEnergiewende in the Alps: Switzerland's transition away from nuclearSwitzerland has a long history of trying to be as self-sufficient and energy independent as possible. Although its energy supply system has served it well in the past, the country is now looking to turn away from its reliance on nuclear power and seeks to compensate for the energy lost from hydropower as a result of climate change. In the latest issue of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, published by SAGE, Dominic Notter of Empa discusses how the country aims to address this transition, finding a new supply mix that combines energy conservation, greater efficiencies, alternative energy sources, the "smart grid", and the introduction of new technologies, so that Switzerland can secure its energy independence for the future.

Fri, 26 Jun 2015 08:00:00 -0500Are your emotional responses normal or abnormal?We all feel emotion, we all get upset, can feel low, angry and overjoyed, but when do these emotional responses become something of a medical concern? When are these feelings inappropriate, too intense, or lasting too long? When is the emotional state you are in classed as depression? In light of the 5th revision of the influential Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM- 5), where a person can now be diagnosed as undergoing a "major depressive episode" if showing depressive symptoms for more than two weeks after bereavement, leading researchers in a special section of the SAGE journal Emotion Review argue that we need to take a different approach to diagnosis and that how we define "normal" emotion should be used to inform clinical practice.

There is a lucrative online market for adult buyers of human breast milk, with websites and forums describing it as a ‘clean’ super food that can lead to gains in the gym, and even help with erectile dysfunction and cancer. There are claims that it is more digestible and contains positive immune building properties. The authors, led by Dr Sarah Steele, of the Global Health and Policy Unit, Queen Mary University of London, write that these purported benefits do not stand up clinically and raw human milk purchased online or in an unpasteurised state poses many risks.

How do librarians expect to utilize reference in the future? "The State of Reference Collections," a new SAGE white paper out today, finds that though the definition of reference is changing, this is in part because reference resources now look and feel like other information sources and because other information resources perform the traditional purpose of reference - answering research questions.

America's democratic style of government is different. We vote for representatives (presidents, governors, congress members, and others) who make the laws, and most of those representatives belong to either the Democratic or Republican party. How did the party system develop? Is it good or bad? Will the system survive, given the current government gridlock? The new Guide to U.S. Political Parties, published by CQ Press, answers these questions.

New research published in Homicide Studies finds that public policy based on these myths has a limited possibility of decreasing the rate of mass murders and that more drastic measures should be taken to have real success.

Tue, 12 Feb 2013 08:00:00 -0500Tourists face health risks from contact with captive sea turtlesLos Angeles, CA (February 5th, 2013) - Tourists coming into contact with sea turtles at holiday attractions face a risk of health problems, according to research published today by JRSM Short Reports. Encountering free-living sea turtles in nature is quite safe, but contact with wild-caught and captive-housed sea turtles, typically through handling turtles in confined pools or through consuming turtle products, carries the risk of exposure to toxic contaminants and to zoonotic (animal to human) pathogens such as bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites. Symptoms, which may take some time to emerge, can resemble gastrointestinal disorders or flu but people more severely affected can suffer septicaemia, pneumonia, meningitis and acute renal failure.

Guide to the White House StaffWashington DC (January 31st, 2013) - George Washington personally paid for his own assistant, the secretary to the president, to handle his official mail and correspondence, manage enrolled bills, and arrange his daily schedule. President Obama, in his first term, had a personal White House staff of over 450, plus more staff for the Executive Office of the President, and Congress now appropriates funds—over $13 million last year—to pay for that staff. How did the White House staff evolve over the course of 44 presidents? When did the government start paying? Who are all those staff members, what are their jobs, and what do they do after their White House tenure ends?
