C-Urge project is a doctoral network set up to research and better understand the complexity of climate and enviromental change, that is happening on global, as well as on a local scale.
Through various research approaches set in various countries, we aim to highlight the notion of urgency and need to enrich the debate around the topic of environemtal change, that is both fast, and subtle and poses a serious challenge for the future.

I felt that the extend interview time of Emmanuel Urey’s family in the US did not further any real understanding of the issue and was just an appeal to the viewer’s emotion.
The Iroquois Theater Fire, the destruction of US Capitol Building, and the Hague Street boiler explosion are used as historical examples to support the arguments made in the article as well as the findings of a steel expert who investigated the collapse of the towers.

The arguments are supported by data from the National Institute of Health and beyond as well as interviews with people on the ground.
The assessments that patients take are not visible to the public so I can not elaborate on it. This is what is quoted from the company’s website about the “Easy Clinical Screenings”:
“Patients take digital, gamified mental health assessments conveniently on their mobile device to learn their actual diagnosis and become more self aware. Providers can deploy customized assessment questions specific to each patient. Patients can see their charted progress over time. Assessments are reimbursable by insurers.”
The claims are supported by personal interviews/surveys by the author as well as external data from the state and other sources and studies.
The way that countries and the world address nuclear emergencies is addressed in this article. Currently there is no central international response resources or authority. Because of the rarity of nuclear catastrophic nuclear emergencies, there are few pockets of professionals with field experience with dealing with these types of emergencies. Japan greatly lacked the assistance of these people during this disaster. These things all contribute to a less optimal emergency response. By addressing these issues the quality of response to nuclear emergencies can be greatly increased.
