3. Volcanism at the tip of a propagating rift : the Heimaey volcanic centre, south Iceland
Sammanfattning : Primary magmas are generated by 4-6% partial melting near the garnet-spinel stability fields beneath Heimaey (i.e. 80-65 km depth). The magmas fractionate 31% olivine and clinopyroxene en-route to ponding at the base of the crust (and forming a parental Vestmannaeyjar magma). LÄS MER
4. Cardiovascular disease prevention in Cochabamba, Bolivia : the importance of preventable risk factor distribution and inequalities for policy implementation
Sammanfattning : Background: The increase in the prevalence of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) and cardiovascular risk factors (CVRFs) is considered one of the most important public health problems in Latin American (LA) countries. Accordingly, an accurate and comprehensive picture of the CVRFs situation is needed to prevent CVDs and consequently support the development of health policies to improve population health and reduce health inequalities.
