When asthmatics’ respiratory tracts are exposed to dust mites, their immune response becomes less effective, which can lead to a weaker immune system. People who suffer from asthma associated with infection may therefore be more susceptible to secondary viral or bacterial infections. According to the researchers, the results suggest that asthmatics should avoid house dust mites and that patients w

Guy Jackson, post-doctoral researcher at LUCSUS, has co-written a new explainer on loss and damage, published by the by Loss and damage Collaboration. It unpacks the what, why, how, where, and who of non-economic loss and damage, and provides actionable advice on how people and institutions can begin to address it. The explainer aims to inform research and policy development going forward, especia
