2018-10-17 Light Exercise Might Lessen Stroke Severity, Study Indicates People who regularly engage in light to moderate physical activity - like walking four hours a week or swimming two hours weekly - might have less severe strokes than individuals who aren`t as active, a Swedish study suggests.

2018-09-27 Get with the program WANT a job with a successful multinational? You will face lots of competition. Two years ago Goldman Sachs received a quarter of a million applications from students and graduates. Those are not just daunting odds for jobhunters; they are a practical problem for companies. If a team of five Goldman human-resources staff, working 12 hours every day, including weekends, spent five minutes on each application, they would take nearly a year to complete the task of sifting through the pile. Little wonder that most large firms use a computer program, or algorithm, when it comes to screening candidates seeking junior jobs. And that means applicants would benefit from knowing exactly what the algorithms are looking for. Victoria McLean is a former banking headhunter and recruitment manager who set up a business called City CV, which helps job candidates with applications. She says the applicant-tracking systems (ATS) reject up to 75% of CVs, or résumés, before a human sees them. Such systems are hunting for keywords that meet the employer`s criteria. One tip is to study the language used in the job advertisement; if the initials PM

2018-09-20 China-made degradable plastics promise end to ocean pollution Chinese scientists have developed a plastic that degrades in seawater and could help curb the increasingly serious plastic pollution in the oceans. The new polyester composite material can decompose in seawater over a period ranging from a few days to several hundred days, leaving small molecules that cause no pollution, said Wang Gexia, a senior engineer at the Technical Institute of Physics and Chemistry of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. For a long time, people focused on `white pollution` on land. Plastic pollution in the seas only caught people`s attention when more and more reports about marine animals dying from it appeared in recent years, said Wang. Scientists combined non-enzymic hydrolysis, water dissolution and biodegradation processes to design and invent the new material.
