The effectiveness of countermeasures on private farms in rural settlements of the Russian Federation affected by the Chernobyl accident for the period of 1986-2005 was assessed. The averted collective doses to the residents of these settlements and the contribution of restrictive and agricultural countermeasures to dose reduction in the rural population have been estimated.

Predicting the use of sugar and caffeine as countermeasures to sleepiness in London bus drivers.

Sleepiness is a significant workplace safety hazard and prevalent in shift workers including bus drivers. Several aspects of professional driving can result in shortened sleep and increased sleepiness, which has the potential to result in workplace injuries, incidents and crashes. Caffeine is an effective sleepiness countermeasure; however, private and professional drivers also report using potentially ineffective countermeasures such as sugar.

Significant progress has been made in recent years in the development of techniques for Next Generation Sequencing (NGS), or Massively Parallel Sequencing (MPS), of forensically relevant short tandem repeat (STR) loci. However, as these technologies are investigated and adopted by forensic laboratories, new challenges unfold that require further scrutiny. In the analysis of DNA profiles generated using the MiSeq FGx sequencing system, we have observed noise sequences with relatively high readcounts that are challenging to distinguish from genuine alleles.

The recent acceleration of commercial, private and multi-national spaceflight has created an unprecedented level of activity in low Earth orbit, concomitant with the largest-ever number of crewed missions entering space and preparations for exploration-class (lasting longer than one year) missions. Such rapid advancement into space from many new companies, countries and space-related entities has enabled a 'second space age'. This era is also poised to leverage, for the first time, modern tools and methods of molecular biology and precision medicine, thus enabling precision aerospace medicine for the crews.

Human spaceflight has historically been managed by government agencies, such as in the NASA Twins Study, but new commercial spaceflight opportunities have opened spaceflight to a broader population. In 2021, the SpaceX Inspiration4 mission launched the first all-civilian crew to low Earth orbit, which included the youngest American astronaut (aged 29), new in-flight experimental technologies (handheld ultrasound imaging, smartwatch wearables and immune profiling), ocular alignment measurements and new protocols for in-depth, multi-omic molecular and cellular profiling. Here we report the primary findings from the 3-day spaceflight mission, which induced a broad range of physiological and stress responses, neurovestibular changes indexed by ocular misalignment, and altered neurocognitive functioning, some of which match those of long-term spaceflight, but almost all of which did not differ from baseline (pre-flight) after return to Earth.

Consuming enough energy to meet high energy demands can be challenging for military personnel wherein logistical constraints limit food availability. Increasing dietary energy density (ED) and/or volume density (VD) of rations may be countermeasures, but whether positive linear associations between ED and energy intake (EI) hold at moderate-to-high ED and VD is unclear. This study examined the effects of covertly increasing the ED and VD of moderate ED (≥1.
