The distribution of DNA damage and repair is considered to occur heterogeneously across the genome. However, commonly available techniques, such as the alkaline comet assay or HPLC-MS/MS, measure global genome levels of DNA damage, and do not reflect potentially significant events occurring at the gene/sequence-specific level, in the nuclear or mit...
Under fundamental ecosystem changes in high latitude lakes, a functional paleolimnological approach may increase holistic understanding of lake responses and resilience to climate warming. A ~2000-year sediment record from Lake Loažžejá / vri in the tundra of northern Finnish Lapland was examined for fossil Cladocera assemblages to examine lo...

Clinicians can play a role in skin cancer prevention by counseling their patients on use of sun protection and indoor tanning avoidance. We used data from the 2016 DocStyles, a web-based survey of U.S. primary care providers, to examine skin cancer prevention counseling practices among 1506 providers. In 2018, we conducted logistic regression analy...
Cannabidiol (CBD), as the only phytocannabinoid that has no psychoactive effect, has both antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, and thus might be suggested as a cytoprotective compound against UV-induced metabolic changes in skin cells. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the level of protective CBD activity by evaluating the p...

Although huge numbers of investigations have been conducted for the ultraviolet (UV) aging of asphalt binder, research rarely focuses on the asphalt mixture. In order to evaluate the aging effect of UV radiation on the asphalt mixture, a dense grade of asphalt mixture was designated and aged by UV radiation for 7, 14 and 28 days respectively. After...

Solar ultraviolet radiation (UVR) exposure places outdoor workers at risk of skin cancer and exposure is difficult to control. In response, the Sun Safety at Work Canada (SSAWC) project was undertaken (2014-2016). The purpose of this substudy was to characterize the UVR exposure levels of outdoor workers in the SSAWC project. Thirteen workplaces in...
Diplomsko delo v prvem delu vključuje pregled škodljivih učinkov UV sevanja in UV filtrov, ki jih uporabljajo v sredstvih za zaščito pred soncem. Prav tako vključuje pregled prilagoditve mikroalg na UV sevanje in zaščitne učinke spojin mikroalg, kot alternativa UV filtrom. V drugem delu pa so predstavljeni rezultati eksperimentalnega dela, v katere...

In the 60 years since the inaugural edition of the International Journal of Radiation Biology, much of our understanding of the biological effects of solar radiation has changed. Earlier in the century, sunlight played a 'hero's' role in reducing disabling rickets, while today debate still continues on the amount of sun required before exposure rev...

AbstractExperimental curves of the dependence of survival and delayed colony formation on UV light (254 nm) fluence for two wild-type strains of diploid yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae capable of recovering from UV damage and their UV-sensitive mutants are presented. The dose–response curves were sigmoid for wild-type cells and rad6/rad6 and rad18/r...
