International Men's Day 2024
International Men’s Day is celebrated annually on 19 November. This iteration of the day was formally inaugurated by a lecturer, Dr Jerome Teelucksingh, in Trinidad and Tobago on 19 November 1999. In a podcast interview on 21 October 2020 podcast Dr Teelucksingh suggested the need to “promote positive male role models” was his main motivation for founding the day. He also said it should not be viewed as being in opposition to International Women’s Day.
Author Correction: A HIF independent oxygen-sensitive pathway for controlling cholesterol synthesis - Nature Communications
Correction to: Nature Communications https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-023-40541-1, published online 09 August 2023 The original version of this Article contained errors in Figs. 2, 3, and 5. In the original Fig. 2e, the flow cytometry panel on the right (labelled “StD (24 hr) followed by 1% O2 (~16 hr)”), was inadvertently duplicated from the panel on the left (labelled “Concurrent StD and 1% O2 (~24 hr)”).

Fortellerhuset med Ilham Tawfiq, Charlotte Øster og Raymond Sereba tok med barn fra tre år og oppover på en flerspråklig teaterreise på biblioteket. De fortalte og sang på arabisk og norsk, og det ble lek med språkenes rytme og musikalitet. Underveis ble barna med på moroa, og i tillegg oppdaget de hvor viktig det er at alle hjelper til hjemme og at man kan fiske opp alt mulig fra sjøen.

A HIF independent oxygen-sensitive pathway for controlling cholesterol synthesis - Nature Communications
Abstract Cholesterol biosynthesis is a highly regulated, oxygen-dependent pathway, vital for cell membrane integrity and growth. In fungi, the dependency on oxygen for sterol production has resulted in a shared transcriptional response, resembling prolyl hydroxylation of Hypoxia Inducible Factors (HIFs) in metazoans. Whether an analogous metazoan pathway exists is unknown.
UK Government recognition of the State of Palestine alongside the State of Israel
UK Government position: Non recognition In October 2014, the House of Commons voted in favour of the following: That this House believes that the Government should recognise the state of Palestine alongside the state of Israel, as a contribution to securing a negotiated two state solution. This vote was not binding on the Government. The UK Government has not recognised this statehood, and abstained in the UN General Assembly vote that granted Palestine non-member observer status at the UN.
LGBT+ rights and issues in the Middle East
The Middle East—encompassing countries from Jordan and Turkey to Iran—has some of the world’s most restrictive legislation for LGBT+ people. This briefing describes the legal situation for LGBT+ people in 13 countries, including Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Iran, and Iraq. It should be read as correct at the time of publication (February 2022).
International LGBT+ rights and issues in 2020/21
In many parts of the world lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender peoples’ (LGBT+) rights are not protected. As at July 2019, engaging in same sex sexual relation is illegal in 69 of the UN’s 193 member-states(36%), in others it may be punished through different laws. According to the International Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans and Intersex Organization (ILGA), in 2020 Africa was the continent with the smallest proportion of states where same sex sexual activity is legal: 22 out of 54 (41%).
Roadmap to peace in Palestine
The Roadmap to Peace The 2003 Roadmap to Peace was drafted by ‘the Quartet’ (the US, the UN, Russia and the EU). Similar to the Oslo process it envisaged transitional arrangements and negotiations leading to a permanent-status agreement by a set date. It also required certain steps to be taken by both sides. Its ultimate objective was a two-state solution.
EU Review into Palestinian school textbooks
The Palestinian school curriculum In March 2020, there was a Westminster Hall debate on Radicalisation in the Palestinian school curriculum. That debate arose after the Palestinian Authority (PA) started revising its primary and secondary school curricula in 2017. There followed reports that the new textbooks promote radicalisation and that examples of incitement litter Palestinian textbooks.
Recent fighting in Israel and Palestine
Major violence between Israel and Palestinians has taken place over the last few days, which the UN has warned could escalate into a “full scale war.” UN OCHA reports that as of 13 May, 53 Palestinians been killed and over 320 injured in Gaza by Israeli air strikes. Three Palestinians have been killed in the West Bank by Israeli forces and hundreds were injured overnight. In Israel, six people have been killed in rocket attacks from Gaza and hundreds have been injured.
UN International Day of Education
Sustainable Development Goal 4 In 2015 the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) were agreed, with Goal 4 addressing global education. One of the central aims of the SDGs is to “leave no one behind”. To achieve this in education will require a substantial increase in finance, access and quality. UNESCO states that globally, education funding remains substantially below the target level that would be required to meet the ambition of SDG4.
Spending Review: Reducing the 0.7% aid commitment
On Wednesday (25 November), the Chancellor’s Spending Review announced a reduction in the overseas aid budget. In 2021 the Government will allocate 0.5 per cent of Gross National Income (GNI) for Official Development Assistance (ODA). This means, for the first time since 2013, the UK will not meet the UN recommended target of spending 0.7 per cent of GNI on ODA. This Insight looks at the history of that commitment and implications of the proposed changes.
House of Commons Library
In early 2020 the Government formally began work on what it described would be the largest review of the UK’s foreign, defence, security and development policy since the end of the Cold War. Much has changed since the last major review of the UK’s national security and defence strategy in 2015. This paper sets out the context for the review and discusses when the review might be published.
DFID and FCO merger: Implications for international development
The Prime Minister announced plans to merge the Department for International Development (DFID) with the Foreign Office (FCO) on Tuesday (16 June). The merger would create a “super-department” potentially responsible for around 80 percent of UK aid spending. It comes at a time when the UK is seeking to forge a place on the international stage independent from the EU, including its development cooperation programmes.
Annexation of the West Bank
The proposed annexation Over 600,000 Israelis now live in settlements in the West Bank. The US peace plan would give Israel sovereignty over the settlements there as well as land in the Jordan Valley. The area amounts to approximately 30 percent of the West Bank. In return, the Palestinians will gain territory elsewhere; mainly in the desert along the border with Egypt. Areas that don’t share a border would be connected by roads, bridges and tunnels.
Open Minds and Changing Roles
The world is an increasingly visual place. As we all know by now, the rise of mobile phones and social media has moved us into an era where imagery is everywhere and everyone is a photographer, sometimes making it harder for professional image-makers to break through the noise. Many people have dedicated their lives to the craft of image making and now find themselves asking, “what next?”.
