Auf der einen Seite können sie eine weniger schädliche Alternative zum Tabakrauchen bieten, andererseits können sie süchtig machen und so möglicherweise - vor allem junge - Nichtraucherinnen und Nichtraucher zum Nikotin-, vielleicht sogar zum Tabakkonsum verleiten. Die vom Bundesministerium für Gesundheit geförderte "Deutsche Befragung zum Rauchverhalten" (DEBRA Studie) wird in den kommenden drei Jahren den Konsum von E-Zigaretten und Tabakerhitzern in der Bevölkerung und deren Zusammenhang mit dem Tabakrauchen im 2-Monats-Rhythmus untersuchen.

Derek Wall: Almost every day, we learn of new horrors in the Middle East. Syria and Iraq are suffering from a brutal war. Fundamentalist groups like the so-called Islamic State and authoritarian leaders are murdering innocent citizens. Yet there is one sign of possible hope: in Northern Syria, the Kurdish people and their allies have established a secular, feminist and ecological republic, called Rojava, which means ‘the West’.

Until 1981 Freye worked as an Anesthetist at the University Hospital Düsseldorf. Since then he has not been in any professional relationship to the University Hospital, the Medical Faculty or any other institution of institute of the HHU.

BFIX, the Burkina Faso Internet exchange point, was established as an association in Burkina on February 19, 2015 by Internet Service Providers (ISP), mobile telecommunication operators, and some public institutions such as the University of Ouagadougou and the government agency in charge of promoting information and communication technologies (“Agence de Promotion des Technologies de l’Information et de la Communication – ANPTIC”).

With around 200 million people voting across Europe, the make-up of the new European Parliament for the next five years has been decided.
While the centre-right European People’s Party (EPP) won the most seats, its contingent is down on the previous election. The traditional centre-left grouping of the Socialists and Democrats (S&D) – which I was a member of – has also been squeezed by the rise of populist parties. Anti-establishment parties won close to a third of seats, including the Brexit Party in the UK, and they head to Brussels to be destructive, not constructive.

Futurists warning about the threats of AI are looking in the wrong place. Humanity is already facing an existential threat from an artificial intelligence we created hundreds of years ago. It’s called the Corporation.

Yesterday, we were disappointed to learn that The North Face, an outdoor recreation product company, and Leo Burnett Tailor Made, an ad agency retained by The North Face, unethically manipulated Wikipedia. They have risked your trust in our mission for a short-lived marketing stunt.
In a video about the campaign, Leo Burnett and The North Face boasted that they “did what no one has done before … we switched the Wikipedia photos for ours” and “[paid] absolutely nothing just by collaborating with Wikipedia.”

Ontem, ficamos desapontados ao saber que The North Face, uma empresa de produtos para recreação ao ar livre, e a Leo Burnett Tailor Made, uma agência de publicidade contratada pela The North Face, manipularam de forma não ética a Wikipédia. Eles colocaram em risco sua confiança em nossa missão para um golpe de marketing de curta duração.
Num vídeo sobre a campanha, Leo Burnett e The North Face se gabaram de que “fizeram o que ninguém fez antes… trocamos as fotos da Wikipédia pelas nossas”, “pagando absolutamente nada, apenas colaborando com a Wikipédia”.

fought in court, and returned to the FCC with minor (and sometimes major)
revisions. In the last few years there have also been numerous attempts to pass
legislation, cementing net neutrality once and for all, but nothing has
succeeded in Congress.
