Ova predivna knjiga je bila predstavljana u Arheološkom muzeju u Splitu. Split je poznat za izuzetne brojne vrhunske sportaše, ali manje se zna za one ženske koje su se bavile sportom kroz povijest grada. Procijena knjige na neovisnom portalu Dalmacija News kaže: "Nema čovjeka u Splitu koji u ovoj knjizi neće prepoznati svoju rodicu, prijateljicu, kolegicu, učenicu...".
Sport u Splitu, za žene i kao za muškarce, je veoma jedna velika i bogata tradicija.

Climate advisers warn that current plans to protect against extreme weather are inadequate
Britain must prepare for global heating far in excess of the level scientists have pegged as the limit of safety, the government’s climate advisers have warned, as current plans to protect against extreme weather are inadequate.
Heatwaves will occur in at least four of every five years in England by 2050, and time spent in drought will double. The number of days of peak wildfire conditions in July will nearly treble for the UK, while floods will increase in frequency throughout the year, with some peak river flows increasing by 40%.

American officials have threatened supporters of measure to reduce emissions with tariffs and other retaliatory action
Donald Trump’s government is putting intense pressure on vulnerable countries to vote against measures that would force shipping companies to pay for their carbon emissions.
US officials have written to countries that support the measure and besieged them with phone calls threatening to impose tariffs, withdraw visa rights and take other retaliatory action.

The Advertising Standards Authority agrees with River Action that the food safety body’s 2023 advert misled the public
The UK’s advertising watchdog has upheld a complaint that Britain’s biggest farm assurance scheme misled the public in a TV ad about its environmental standards.
The Red Tractor scheme, used by leading supermarkets including Tesco, Asda and Morrisons to assure customers their food meets high standards for welfare, environment, traceability and safety,is the biggest and perhaps best known assurance system in Britain.

Every constituency projected to be at greater risk, with many areas likely to be uninsurable, Guardian investigation finds
The flood-prone Worcestershire town being abandoned by insurers
Doors, drains and paving perils: protecting your home from flooding
Millions more homes in England, Scotland and Wales face devastating floods, and some towns may have to be abandoned as climate breakdown makes many areas uninsurable, a Guardian investigation has found.
New analysis from the insurance industry, seen by the Guardian, reveals the extent of concern in the sector, with bosses warning that large swathes of housing and commercial property in densely populated areas will be at greater risk.

Allegations related to flood control projects have sparked widespread anger and protests in the Philippines
Philippine health worker Christina Padora waded through July’s waist-high flood water to check on vaccines and vital medications stored in the village clinic, something she had regularly done during previous typhoons.
But this time she didn’t make it. Taking hold of a metal pole that she failed to see was connected to a live wire, the 49-year-old was fatally electrocuted in the water.

Hampstead, London: Spring has the dawn chorus, autumn has “vismig”, the changing of the guard of millions of birds – an early start for me, then, to try and glimpse this remarkable phenomenon
I’ve monitored the autumn forecast. Mushrooms and conkers, good, occasional blackberries; acorns crunching underfoot, moderate; spiders’ webs and cosy jumpers intensifying; severe crumble-making, veering west.
And migrating birds. Storm Amy has passed, and with air pressure rising, there’s the whiff of a seasonal treat: visible migration – “vismig” for short. They travel in their millions – summer visitors outgoing southwards, winter arrivals incoming from the north. Swallows, pipits, thrushes, finches and more. A remarkable population shift to mark changing seasons. Many fly by night, but some are diurnal, and at the right time and place, you might see a slice of this unrivalled phenomenon. Spring has its dawn chorus; vismig is autumn’s gift.

Garden getting you down? Tempted to just pave or concrete over the whole thing and put your feet up? There are more enjoyable and eco-friendly alternatives, from miniature meadows to giant borders
When faced with a muddy swamp, or a lawn that needs mowing (again), the most nihilistic among us may dream of concreting over the whole garden – and some turn that dream into reality. A recent report by the Horticultural Trades Association (HTA), which represents garden centres and suppliers, has warned that within the next five years, nearly a quarter of UK householders plan to pave or deck over at least part of their garden, and of those, nearly a third plan to cover more than half of the area. The HTA estimates this could mean a loss of about 8% of the UK’s total private green space, or 409 sq km.
“Paving over gardens with impermeable surfaces has and will continue to undermine urban resilience,” says Prof Alistair Griffiths, the director of science and collections at the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS). Water can’t get through concrete, asphalt and paving, which contributes to surface flooding and overwhelms the sewer system, leading to pollution runoff. Loss of vegetation also contributes to global heating. “We’ve got these increased extremes of heat and if you lose green space, you lose that cooling effect,” he adds. Then there’s the loss of biodiversity that comes from paving over green space – not to mention the impact of a dead, grey landscape on people’s mental health. One RHS study showed that people who nurtured a couple of containers of flowers and a small tree in an urban street lowered their stress hormones as much as if they’d attended eight weekly mindfulness sessions.

A runway show in Gikomba, east Africa’s largest secondhand clothing market, has attempted to highlight the impact of mass clothing imports – and offer a solution
Antony Njoroge paces back and forth, camera in hand, as people bombard him with questions. “What do we do with this? Where should I put it? The light’s better over here! Tony, one second please.” The film-maker and his co-producer Sally Ngoiri are putting the final touches to an event that they never imagined would actually come to life when they first thought up the idea back in May: the first fashion show to be staged in Gikomba, Nairobi, east Africa’s largest secondhand clothing market.

Novo istraživanje sugerira da ketogena dijeta s visokim udjelom masti i niskim udjelom ugljikohidrata može pomoći u zaštiti mladih životinja od trajnih posljedica stresa doživljenog prije rođenja.
Gotovo svaka peta medicinska sestra u primarnoj zdravstvenoj zaštiti (PZZ) razmišljala je o odlasku u inozemstvo, a svaka četvrta ne bi ponovno odabrala svoje zanimanje, pokazuje istraživanje Hrvatske komore medicinskih sestara (HKMS) provedeno u prosincu 2024..
Rezultati nove studije pokazali su, da su kognitivne sposobnosti onih koji su prestali pušiti značajno manje pale nego kod pušača u šest godina nakon prestanka pušenja. Za verbalnu tečnost, stopa pada se otprilike prepolovila, dok se za pamćenje usporila za 20%.
Osobe u dobi od 60 i više godina koje su pretjerano pospane tijekom dana mogu imati više problema s pamćenjem i razmišljanjem nakon operacije, sugerira nova studija. Dnevna pospanost je simptom nedostatka sna koji pogađa do 20% odraslih i može povećati rizik od perioperativnih neurokognitivnih poremećaja (PNP).
Neplodnost pogađa otprilike jedan od šest parova, a muški faktori čine otprilike polovicu svih slučajeva - često zato što spermiji nisu pokretljivi. Nova studija koju su proveli japanski znanstvenici otkrila je temeljnu promjenu u spermi, pružajući dublje razumijevanje regulacije pokretljivosti spermija. Naime, otkriće osi TMEM217-SLC9C1-sAC nudi novu metu za dijagnosticiranje neobjašnjivih slučajeva muške neplodnosti.
Nova studija otkriva da ljudi koji preskaču doručak imaju veću vjerojatnost razvoja metaboličkog sindroma i njegovih ključnih komponenti: masnoće na trbuhu, visokog krvnog tlaka, visokog šećera u krvi i visokog kolesterola, što naglašava važnost jednostavnog jutarnjeg obroka za dugoročno zdravlje.
Kako broj slučajeva upalne bolesti crijeva (IBD) raste diljem svijeta, znanstvenici otkrivaju kako zapadne prehrambene navike destabiliziraju crijevno-imunološki sustav i zašto prilagođena prehrana može biti ključ za zaustavljanje upale prije nego što započne.
Pregled istraživanja otkriva da rutinska upotreba nesterilnih rukavica od strane medicinskih sestara tijekom pripreme intravenoznih antibiotika ne nudi dokazanu zaštitu i zapravo može potkopati kontrolu infekcija, povećati troškove i naštetiti okolišu.
Britansko istraživanje pokazalo je da hormonska nadomjesna terapija (HRT) može pomoći u preokretanju promjena u imunološkom sustavu uzrokovanih menopauzom, potencijalno jačajući imunološko zdravlje. Istraživanje otkriva nove dokaze da menopauza značajno mijenja imunološki sustav žena, povećavajući njihovu osjetljivost na infekcije.
Liječenje raka se kontinuirano poboljšava, ali i dalje može uzrokovati iscrpljujuće, čak i fatalne nuspojave. Inhibitori imunoloških kontrolnih točaka revolucionirali su terapiju raka, no njihova upotreba može izazvati rijetku, ali smrtonosnu nuspojavu koja utječe na srce: miokarditis. Miokarditis povezan sa spomenutom terapijom ima smrtnost do 40%.
