Framing the policy debate over spirits excise tax in Poland

Industry lobbying remains an obstacle to effective health-oriented alcohol policy. In 2013, an increase in excise tax on spirits was announced by the Polish government. This article presents a qualitative analysis of the...

Room Temperature Regioselective Catalytic Hydrodefluorination of Fluoroarenes with <i>trans</i>-[Ru(NHC)<sub>4</sub>H<sub>2</sub>] Via a Converted Nucleophlic Ru-H Attack Pathway
The efficient and highly selective room temperature hydrodefluorination (HDF) of fluoroarenes by the trans-[Ru(IMe4)4H2] catalyst, 3, is reported. Mechanistic studies show 3 acts directly in catalysis without any ligand...
Health improvement in Poland is contingent on continued extensive tobacco control measures

Tobacco smoking is a major avoidable single cause of premature mortality in Poland. Almost one in three Polish males do not live to 65 years of age, and almost half of this premature mortality can be traced back to the much...

C-F Bond Activation of P(C<sub>6</sub>F<sub>5</sub>)<sub>3</sub> By Ruthenium Dihydride Complexes
The major product of the reaction between Ru(IMe4)2(PPh3)2H2 (1; IMe4 = 1,3,4,5-tetramethylimidazol-2-ylidene) and P(C6F5)3 (PCF)...
Using inertial measurement units to identify medio-lateral ground reaction forces due to walking and swaying

Horizontal ground reaction forces (GRFs) due to human walking and swaying have been investigated (respectively) through direct measurements using a treadmill and a set of force plates. These GRFs have also been measured (or...

Directionality of the ambient noise field in an Arctic, glacial bay
The directionality of ambient noise in an Arctic tidewater
glacier bay was measured using two horizontally spaced, broadband
hydrophones. Segments of noise were divided into two frequency bands
and analyzed for...
Two-element acoustic array gives insight into ice-ocean interactions in Hornsund Fjord, Spitsbergen
Glacierized fjords are dynamic regions, with variable oceanographic conditions and complex ice-ocean interactions, which are still poorly understood. Recent studies have shown that passive underwater acoustics offers new...

Copper-NHC-Mediated Semi-Hydrogenation and Hydroboration of Alkynes
A series of two-coordinate copper tert-butoxide complexes bearing five-, six-, and seven-membered ring N-heterocyclic carbenes, prepared by protonolysis of (NHC)CuMes with tBuOH, have been used as catalytic precursors in...

Changes in industry interference in policy in the United Kingdom 2017-2020
Background
The Tobacco Industry Interference (TII) Index evaluates the implementation of FCTC Article 5.3. The first edition of the Global TII Index was published in 2019, included 33 countries, and covered the years...
Underwater acoustic signatures of glacier calving
Climate-driven ice-water interactions in the contact zone between marine-terminating glaciers and the ocean surface show a dynamic and complex nature. Tidewater glaciers lose volume through the poorly-understood process of...

Emergence of the London Millennium Bridge instability without synchronisation
Abstract: The pedestrian-induced instability of the London Millennium Bridge is a widely used example of Kuramoto synchronisation. Yet, reviewing observational, experimental, and modelling evidence, we argue that increased...
Understanding the long-term policy influence strategies of the tobacco industry
Objective: This paper explores transnational tobacco companies’ (TTCs) long-term policy influence strategies using two case studies, harm reduction and illicit tobacco, to identify lessons for the tobacco control movement and...
