Leave a comment

北欧绿色邮报网报道（记者陈雪霏）– 瑞典皇家科学院常务秘书悦然.汉松8日宣布，2018年纪念诺贝尔经济学奖授予美国经济学家威廉.诺德豪斯和保尔.罗马尔， 因为他们把创新和气候变化与经济增长一体化研究了。

汉松说，诺德豪斯获奖的原因是把气候变化和长期宏观经济分析联系在一起。而保罗.罗马尔获奖的原因是他把技术创新与长期宏观经济分析联系在一起。

诺奖委员主席佩尔.斯特罗姆贝认为，诺德豪斯和罗马尔设计了解决我们这个时代最基本的最紧迫的如何创造长期可持续的经济增长的方法。

最根本的是经济学实际上是如何管理稀缺的资源。自然控制者经济增长。2018年纪念诺贝尔经济学奖可以说是实至名归，没有任何争议。

乌普萨拉大学经济学教授爱娃.墨克在接受本网记者采访时说，今年的纪念诺贝尔经济学奖得主的发现不但在理论上成立而且在实际应用中也是非常实用的，为政策制定者提供了很好的政策参考工具。例如，诺德豪斯的理论中就是用税收来作为杠杆来控制资源和环境是使用，使其与经济发展达到最佳平衡。力求要让人类不在发展过程中超越地球温度升高两度的底线。

罗马尔的技术创新与宏观经济分析也是促进经济可持续增长的很好的工具。因此，今年的纪念诺贝尔经济学奖得主的发现非常重要，为各国经济可持续发展提供了分析工具。

罗马尔在回答北欧绿色邮报网记者提问时说，他没有意料到自己会得奖，他开始听到两次电话铃响，以为是无用销售电话，所以，没有接电话，但是，到第三次铃响，才开始接听电话。

他说，他是个乐观主义者，他认为人类在挑战面前应该是懂得做出正确的选择的。

诺奖得主将在诺贝尔的忌日12月10日从瑞典国王手中接过诺贝尔奖。诺贝尔和平奖将在奥斯陆颁发，其他奖项都在瑞典颁发。

这是今年宣布的最后一个奖项纪念诺贝尔经济学奖。此前已经宣布诺贝尔医学奖得主是美国科学家詹姆斯.艾立森和日本科学家Tasuku Honjo, 因为他们发现了抑制负免疫调节机制的癌症疗法。

10月2日美国科学家艾立森，和法国出生但工作在美国的缪娄和加拿大的多娜.斯特里克兰分享了2018诺贝尔物理学奖，前者一半，后两位分享另一半奖金。

10月3日，瑞典皇家科学院宣布，2018诺贝尔化学奖一半授予美国加州理工学院女科学家Frances, H. Arnold（B.1956）,因为他发现了酶的指定向进化，另一半授予美国密苏里大学教授George P. Smith（b,1941）和英国MRC英国剑桥分子实验室的Sir Gregory P. Winter(b.1951)，因为他们发现了肽和抗体的噬菌体展现美国科学家

10月4日，诺贝尔文学奖因为评奖单位瑞典文学院早些时候报出丑闻，与一个有性侵行为的人有瓜葛，结果瑞典文学院被迫停止今年的诺贝尔文学奖评审。性侵者已经于近日获判2年期的有期徒刑。

10月5日，挪威诺贝尔委员会秘书贝利特.赖斯-安德森宣布2018诺贝尔和平奖由刚果（金）医生丹尼斯.穆奎哥和伊拉克女性主义者纳迪.穆拉德分享。因为他们为结束性暴力作为战争和武装冲突的武器而做出的努力。

所有获奖者都将在诺贝尔的忌日12月10日从瑞典国王手中接过诺贝尔奖。但诺贝尔和平奖将在奥斯陆颁发，其他奖项都在瑞典颁发。

今年诺奖的奖金是900万瑞典克朗。

By Xuefei Chen Axelsson

STOCKHOLM, Oct. 5(Greenpost)– Chinese Ambassador Gui Congyou has said that the establishment of the Belt and Road Execultive Group has great significance.

He made the remark at the second Belt and Road Summit Forum in Stockholm on Sept. 28 when the Belt and Road Executive Group was announced to establish.

Ambassador Gui said the Swedish Boat Gothenburg opened a maritime silk road 260 years ago between China’s Guangzhou and Gothenburg in Sweden.  In 2007, a replica of the Gothenburg boat sailed to China again and Swedish King Carl XVI Gustaf also visited China then, beginning new cooperation between China and Sweden and calling for further sailing and cooperation along the belt and road route.

A week ago, belt and road initiative between Sweden and China made a milestone progress. That was the first China-Europe Freight Train started from Dalana in Sweden with full load of Swedish best timber to leave for East China’s Ganzhou city, Jiangxi province via Gothenburg and Hanberg Germany.  Sweden exported timber to China and when the train comes back, it can load Chinese agricultural products to Europe and Sweden.

Gui said President Xi Jinping put up forward the belt and road initiative, with the purpose to expand the further cooperation along the silk road countries on the current basis of infrastructure, finance and cultural fields.  For example, the cooperation between China and Khazakstan have set a good example for other countries.

He congratulate the establishment of belt and road Executive Group or BRIX and welcome others to participate in the initiative actively.

 

BRIX Chairman Ulf Sandmark explained the belt and road initiative and its significance in the world.  He held that BRI is not only good for developing countries to cooperate with China but also for developed countries to cooperate with China and with each other under the framework of BRI.

Stephen Brawer, vice Chairman of the Belt and Road Executive Group in Sweden, also pointed out the strategy of the BRI. He also reviewed the Forum on China-Africa cooperation FOCAC,which was held in Beijing in early September. During the summit, 53 African nations linked up with the BRI to fulfill the African Union’s Agenda 2063 for continent-wide modern infrastructure interconnectivity between all the capital African cities and the elimination of poverty.

Kitty Smyth, a UK strategy and PR senior adviser for Sino-European Public relations, said  the BRI, launched by President Xi Jinping in 2013, has a philosophical dimension of creating harmony. She then spoke about how it could foster a new type of international relations and forge partnerships of dialogue with no confrontation and of friendship rather than alliance.  Smyth advised Sweden to establish institutions capable of developing long term BRI cooperation with China.

Chairman of the CSBC   Ali Farmandeh said there is great potential for business partners in belt and road initiative.  He stressed that the BRI is much more than Chinese production of Swedish goods.  The New Silk Road is not something far away, as many in the northern corner of Europe think. Among the 70 nations that have joined the BRI, there are also neighbors in Europe, who are already building their parts of the world connectivity network, projects where Swedish buisinesses can take part immediately.

SinceusCEO Wu Ying shared her experience of helping Swedish startups successfully doing business in China.

Panalist of BRIX and Belt and Road summit forum spoke at the forum.

Lydia Liu, one of the Executive Group members who is also a Swedish Chinese said BRIX establishment will push forward Sweden to join the Belt and Road Initiative as soon as possible. China has welcomed Sweden many times to participate in belt and road framework and like to share its development opportunities especially Swedish small and medium sized enterprises to have a win  win cooperation with China.

Hussein Askary who has translated a book about BRI into Arabic language was the host of the forum.

Dr. Mukwege and sexual crime victim Murad win 2018 Nobel Prize in Peace

Leave a comment

By Xuefei Chen Axelsson

STOCKHOLM, Oct. 5(Greenpost)– Berit Reiss Andersen, Chair of The Norwegian Nobel Committee has announced that the Norwergian Nobel Committee has  decided to award the Nobel Peace Prize for 2018 to Denis Mukwege and Nadia Murad for their efforts to end the use of sexual violence as a weapon of war and armed conflict, according to a live broadcast of Nobel Prize.

“Both laureates have made a crucial contribution to focusing attention on, and combating, such war crimes. Denis Mukwege is the helper who has devoted his life to defending these victims.” she said. 

Nadia Murad is the witness who tells of the abuses perpetrated against herself and others. Each of them in their own way has helped to give greater visibility to war-time sexual violence, so that the perpetrators can be held accountable for their actions.

The physician Denis Mukwege has spent large parts of his adult life helping the victims of sexual violence in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Since the Panzi Hospital was established in Bukavu in 2008, Dr. Mukwege and his staff have treated thousands of patients who have fallen victim to such assaults. Most of the abuses have been committed in the context of a long-lasting civil war that has cost the lives of more than six million Congolese.

Denis Mukwege is the foremost, most unifying symbol, both nationally and internationally, of the struggle to end sexual violence in war and armed conflicts. His basic principle is that “justice is everyone’s business”. Men and women, officers and soldiers, and local, national and international authorities alike all have a shared responsibility for reporting, and combating, this type of war crime.

The importance of Dr. Mukwege’s enduring, dedicated and selfless efforts in this field cannot be overstated. He has repeatedly condemned impunity for mass rape and criticised the Congolese government and other countries for not doing enough to stop the use of sexual violence against women as a strategy and weapon of war.

Nadia Murad is herself a victim of war crimes. She refused to accept the social codes that require women to remain silent and ashamed of the abuses to which they have been subjected. She has shown uncommon courage in recounting her own sufferings and speaking up on behalf of other victims.

Andersen said that Nadia Murad is a member of the Yazidi minority in northern Iraq, where she lived with her family in the remote village of Kocho. In August 2014 the Islamic State (IS) launched a brutal, systematic attack on the villages of the Sinjar district, aimed at exterminating the Yazidi population. In Nadia Murad’s village, several hundred people were massacred. The younger women, including underage children, were abducted and held as sex slaves. While a captive of the IS, Nadia Murad was repeatedly subjected to rape and other abuses. Her assaulters threatened to execute her if she did not convert to their hateful, inhuman version of Islam.

She described Nadia Murad as just one of an estimated 3 000 Yazidi girls and women who were victims of rape and other abuses by the IS army. The abuses were systematic, and part of a military strategy. Thus they served as a weapon in the fight against Yazidis and other religious minorities.

After a three-month nightmare Nadia Murad managed to flee. Following her escape, she chose to speak openly about what she had suffered. In 2016, at the age of just 23, she was named the UN’s first Goodwill Ambassador for the Dignity of Survivors of Human Trafficking.

“This year marks a decade since the UN Security Council adopted Resolution 1820 (2008), which determined that the use of sexual violence as a weapon of war and armed conflict constitutes both a war crime and a threat to international peace and security. This is also set out in the Rome Statute of 1998, which governs the work of the International Criminal Court. The Statute establishes that sexual violence in war and armed conflict is a grave violation of international law.  A more peaceful world can only be achieved if women and their fundamental rights and security are recognised and protected in war.” said Andersen. 

She said this year’s Nobel Peace Prize is firmly embedded in the criteria spelled out in Alfred Nobel’s will. Denis Mukwege and Nadia Murad have both put their personal security at risk by courageously combating war crimes and seeking justice for the victims. They have thereby promoted the fraternity of nations through the application of principles of international law.

Dr. Denis Mukwege actually won the Rightlivlihood Prize, dubbed as the Alternative Nobel Prize in Stockholm five years ago.  So it is recognized that his winning is well justified.

This year’s Nobel Peace prize is considered to be fair and all the winners deserve such prize for their contribution to mankind.

今日头条：刚果(金)丹尼斯.穆奎哥医生和伊拉克女权主义者纳迪娅.穆拉德获得2018诺贝尔和平奖

Leave a comment

北欧绿色邮报网报道（记者陈雪霏）– 挪威诺贝尔委员会主席贝利特.赖斯-安德森5日宣布2018诺贝尔和平奖被授予刚果（金）医生丹尼斯.穆奎哥和伊拉克女权主义者纳迪娅.穆拉德因为他们为结束性暴力作为战争和武装冲突的武器而做出的努力。

这两位得主在让人聚焦和打击战争犯罪方面做出了突出贡献。穆奎哥是终生致力于保卫这些受害者。穆拉德是见证者，讲述了她自己受尽性侵害的经历。他们都用自己的方式帮助人们对战争时期的性暴力给予更大的能见度，以便让蹂躏者能够对他们的行为负责。

安德森说，穆奎哥医生花大部分时间在刚果（金）帮助性暴力受害者做复原手术。自从潘滋医院于2008年在布卡武建立以来，穆奎哥和他的同事治愈了数千这样的病人。 大多数性暴力都是发生在刚果金内战期间。1998年8月下旬开始的刚果（金）内战造成了600多万刚果（金）人的死亡。

穆奎哥医生无论是在国内还是在国际上都是在结束性暴力和武装冲突中一个团结的象征。他的基本原则是“正义是每个人的事”。男人，女人，官兵，地方，国家和国家机构都有责任报道，打击这种犯罪。他也多次谴责刚果金政府和其他国家未能对大规模强奸犯罪进行有力的惩罚。

穆拉德本人是战争犯罪的受害者。她拒绝接受社会行为准则对自己遭受的羞辱保持沉默。而是显示了非同寻常的勇气大胆说出了她的悲惨遭遇。

穆拉德是伊拉克北部雅姿蒂民族的一員。2014年8月，IS伊斯兰国组织发动了残酷的袭击，目的是要消灭这个民族的所有人。在她的村子里，KOCHO村，数百人被屠杀。而女人包括女童都被绑架当作性奴隶。期间，她多次被强奸和羞辱，如果她不服从就威胁要杀了她。她只是3000名Yazidi女人中的一员。他们成为IS攻击她的村落的一个武器。3个月后，她逃了出来。并讲述了她的经历。 2016年23岁的穆拉德被任命为联合国首任为贩卖人口幸存者尊严的友好大使。

今年标志者联合国安理会通过2008 1820决议十周年。决议决定利用性暴力作为战争和武装冲突中的武器构成战争犯罪，是国际和平与安全的一个威胁。

这也是1998年的罗马法中有规定，用于管理国际犯罪法庭的工作。法律规定战争和武装冲突中的性暴力是严重的违反国际法。和平世界只能在妇女和他们的权利与安全得到承认和保护的情况下才能实现。

安德森说，今年的诺贝尔和平奖符合诺贝尔遗嘱的要求。穆奎哥和穆拉德都勇敢地置他们的个人安全于不顾而打击战争犯罪为受害者讨回公道。他们因此通过利用国际法的原则促进了国家之间的友好关系。

至此，今年的诺贝尔奖到此已经宣布完毕，周一，8日将在瑞典皇家科学院宣布纪念阿尔佛雷德.诺贝尔经济学奖。

2018年诺贝尔生理学或医学奖被授予了美国科学家詹姆斯.艾立森和日本科学家本庶佑，因为他们发现了抑制负免疫调节机制的癌症疗法。

艾立森研究了对免疫系统有刹车作用的蛋白质。他意识到了释放这个刹车的潜力，因此，他释放了免疫细胞来攻击肿瘤。然后，他开发了这个理念，进而形成了新的癌症治疗方法。

本庶佑发现了免疫细胞上的蛋白质，经过细心的探索其功能，最终发现它可以有刹车的作用，但是用的是不同的机制。在他发现的基础上形成的理疗方法也证明在抗癌方面有极大的效果。因此艾立森和本庶佑表明利用不同的方式利用免疫系统中的刹车可以用于癌症治疗。他们两位的发现在抗癌道路上是个里程碑。

2018年诺贝尔物理学奖一半授予了美国的阿什金因为他发明了光学镊子并应用于生物系统，另一半授予法国出生但在美国工作的杰拉德.缪娄和加拿大女科学家多娜.斯特里克兰，因为他们发明了制造高密度超短光学脉冲。

1987年阿什金有了重大突破，他发明了光学镊子可以夹取粒子，原子，病毒和生物细胞，甚至是活细菌，对生命机器的研究非常有用。而缪娄和斯特里克兰的发现了最短最密集的激光脉冲，CPA脉冲放大器可以用于数百万的眼睛纠正手术病人。因此他们的贡献都是对人类的重大贡献。

2018年诺贝尔化学奖一半被授予了美国女科学家阿诺德因为她发现了酶的引导性进化，另一半被授予美国科学家乔治.史密斯和格力高里.温特因为他们发现了肽和抗体的噬菌体展示。

据瑞典皇家科学院教授海纳介绍，酶的引导性进化意思是可以不用等几百万年让生物自然产生酶，而是通过引导性进化方式，在几个星期就可以生产出这样的酶，酶是一种催化剂，可以用于工业生产，例如，用于洗衣粉的生产，用了这种酶就可以生产更环保的有效的洗衣粉。而抗体和噬菌体展示可以用于医学临床，治疗疾病，转移性癌症等，直接对人体疾病治疗有好处。由于可以产生新的抗体和噬菌体，那么一些有毒物质可以被中和化解或者是被吃掉。

2018年诺贝尔文学奖因为性丑闻而停发，但有人说，有可能2019年补发。但并没有得到确认。得到确认的是10月11日瑞典国王将颁发比吉塔.尼尔松女高音音乐家奖。届时北欧绿色邮报网将为您播报。

2018年经济学纪念诺贝尔奖将于10月8日周一宣布。届时北欧绿色邮报网将一如既往地为您播报。敬请关注。

记者采访中不可避免地再次问到诺奖评委对中国科研的评价，海纳教授说，我们注意到中国近年来在科研方面投入很大，这方面进步也很大，但是，从诺奖的角度，一般发明和发现都需要十年，二十年甚至是三十年的时间来证明是否其研发成果对人类有巨大贡献。

今日头条：瑞典华人社团发联合声明强烈抗议瑞典电视台SVT辱华言行要求立即停止类似对中国和中国人们恶意伤害的娱乐节目

Leave a comment

北欧绿色邮报网报道（记者陈雪霏）– 瑞典华人社团再次集体发声，发表声明强烈抗议瑞典电视台SVT的辱华言行，要求立即停止类似对中国和中国人民的恶意伤害的娱乐节目，并向中国和中国人民诚恳地赔礼道歉，以使中瑞关系和两国人民友谊朝着健康持久的方向发展。

声明内容如下：

尊敬的瑞典电视台及罗恩达尔先生:

我们是一批出生，成长，生活，工作在瑞典的华人。我们的祖籍国是中国。在瑞典这个美丽文明的国度里，我们深切感受到它民主法制的健全，社会制度的优越，和瑞典人民的友善。尤其是瑞典人文观念的先进性，广为人知。而人文观念的集中体现就是重视人，尊重人，关心人，爱护人。我们对它有切身的体会。我们热爱这片土地。同时，我们对我们的祖籍国-中国也有着血浓于水的感情。因此中瑞两国和平共处，中瑞人民友好往来是我们全体瑞典华人的追求和愿望。

令人遗憾的是最近瑞典电视台娱乐频道节目主持人赫尔先生连续两次以所谓调侃搞笑的形式的对中国和中国人民进行了极为恶劣的蔑视和嘲讽，在全球造成了极其恶劣的影响。它不但对中国人民，也对全球华人造成了极大的心理伤害和人身侮辱。这是我们无论如何都不能接受的。更令人不解的是罗恩达尔先生在节目中拿中国领土和国旗说事，并借机恶意更改中国领土，调侃中国国旗。领土是国家行使主权的地域，政府隶属于国家，国旗是国家的象征。任何人都知道每个国家，每个人都有自己的尊严和底线，而这个底线是不能触碰的。

罗恩达尔先生将侮辱中国人民，更改中国领土，调侃中国国旗称之为瑞典式的幽默。人们不禁要问，他还有道德底线吗？任何人不得把你自己的观念强加在中国人民和瑞典人民头上。我们认为娱乐节目节目主持人罗恩达尔先生对中国和中国人民的蔑视和嘲讽毫无幽默可言，也极大地伤害了中瑞两国政府的关系和中瑞两国人民的友谊。我们强烈要求瑞典电视台SVT及罗恩达尔先生，立刻停止类似对中国和中国人民的恶意伤害的娱乐节目，并向中国和中国人民诚恳地赔礼道歉，以使中瑞关系和两国人民友谊朝着健康持久的方向发展。

参加签署联合声明的人士包括瑞典中国友好协会执行会长、国际时尚设计师夏雨女士，瑞典华人总会执行会长叶沛群，瑞典华人总会瑞典青田同乡会会长叶克雄，瑞典华人工商联合总会会长王俞力，瑞典斯德哥尔摩华助中心常务副主任季展有和瑞京华人协会会长柳少惠。

The Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2018 awards to scientist who finds the power of evolutionwin 2018 Nobel Prize in Chemistry

Leave a comment

By Xuefei Chen Axelsson

STOCKHOLM, Oct.3(Greenpost) — Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has announced the winner of 2018 Nobel Prize in Chemistry.

Goran Hansson, Permanent Secretary  said the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2018 with one half to

Frances H. Arnold, California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, USA

“for the directed evolution of enzymes”

and the other half jointly to George P. Smith, University of Missouri, Columbia, USA and Sir Gregory P. Winter, MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology, Cambridge, UK

“for the phage display of peptides and antibodies”.

According to a statement, the power of evolution is revealed through the diversity of life. The 2018 Nobel Laureates in Chemistry have taken control of evolution and used it for purposes that bring the greatest benefit to humankind. Enzymes produced through directed evolution are used to manufacture everything from biofuels to pharmaceuticals. Antibodies evolved using a method called phage display can combat autoimmune diseases and in some cases cure metastatic cancer.

Since the first seeds of life arose around 3.7 billion years ago, almost every crevice on Earth has filled with different organisms. Life has spread to hot springs, deep oceans and dry deserts, all because evolution has solved a number of chemical problems. Life’s chemical tools – proteins – have been optimised, changed and renewed, creating incredible diversity.

This year’s Nobel Laureates in Chemistry have been inspired by the power of evolution and used the same principles – genetic change and selection – to develop proteins that solve mankind’s chemical problems.

One half of this year’s Nobel Prize in Chemistry is awarded to Frances H. Arnold. In 1993, she conducted the first directed evolution of enzymes, which are proteins that catalyse chemical reactions. Since then, she has refined the methods that are now routinely used to develop new catalysts. The uses of Frances Arnold’s enzymes include more environmentally friendly manufacturing of chemical substances, such as pharmaceuticals, and the production of renewable fuels for a greener transport sector.

The other half of this year’s Nobel Prize in Chemistry is shared by George P. Smith and Sir Gregory P. Winter. In 1985, George Smith developed an elegant method known as phage display, where a bacteriophage – a virus that infects bacteria – can be used to evolve new proteins. Gregory Winter used phage display for the directed evolution of antibodies, with the aim of producing new pharmaceuticals. The first one based on this method, adalimumab, was approved in 2002 and is used for rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis and inflammatory bowel diseases. Since then, phage display has produced anti-bodies that can neutralise toxins, counteract autoimmune diseases and cure metastatic cancer.

We are in the early days of directed evolution’s revolution which, in many different ways, is bringing and will bring the greatest benefit to humankind.

The Laureates

Frances H. Arnold, born 1956 in Pittsburgh, USA. Ph.D. 1985, University of California, Berkeley, USA. Linus Pauling Professor of Chemical Engineering, Bioengineering and Biochemistry, California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, USA.

George P. Smith, born 1941 in Norwalk, USA. Ph.D. 1970, Harvard University, Cambridge, USA. Curators’ Distinguished Professor Emeritus of Biological Sciences, University of Missouri, Columbia, USA.

Sir Gregory P. Winter, born 1951 in Leicester, UK. Ph.D. 1976. University of Cambridge, UK. Research Leader Emeritus, MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology, Cambridge, UK.

Prize amount: 9 million Swedish krona, with one half to Frances Arnold and the other half to be shared between George Smith and Gregory Winter.

They will receive their prize from the hands of Swedish King Karl XVI Gustaf on Dec. 10.

北欧绿色邮报网报道（记者陈雪霏）– 瑞典皇家科学院常务秘书悦然.汉松10月3日在新闻发布会上宣布，2018诺贝尔化学奖一半授予美国加州理工学院女科学家Frances, H. Arnold（B.1956）,因为他发现了酶的指定向进化，另一半授予美国密苏里大学教授George P. Smith（b,1941）和英国MRC英国剑桥分子实验室的Sir Gregory P. Winter(b.1951)，因为他们发现了肽和抗体的噬菌体展现。

汉松说，他们的发现对清洁能源的充分利用将有重大作用。本次诺贝尔化学奖就是奖励通过生物多样性来获取进化能量。这对人类的未来疾病控制，通过生产抗体来对有毒物质进行中和，对付自动免疫疾病和治疗转移性癌症等都会有重大突破，进而对人类做出重大贡献。

诺奖委员会成员，前秘书长萨拉.林泽解释说，前者阿诺德的发现对人类获取能源会有很大贡献，而后者，则对未来对人体的疾病，例如中和有毒物质和治疗转移性疾病都会有很大的好处。

他们将在诺贝尔的忌日12月10日从瑞典国王手中接过诺贝尔奖。诺贝尔和平奖将在奥斯陆颁发，其他奖项都在瑞典颁发。

这是今年宣布的第三个诺贝尔奖。此前已经宣布诺贝尔医学奖得主是美国科学家詹姆斯.艾立森和日本科学家Tasuku Honjo, 因为他们发现了抑制负免疫调节机制的癌症疗法。

10月2日美国科学家艾立森，和法国出生但工作在美国的缪娄和加拿大的多娜.斯特里克兰分享了2018诺贝尔物理学奖，前者一半，后两位分享另一半奖金。今年诺奖的奖金是900万瑞典克朗。

明天的诺贝尔文学奖因为评奖单位瑞典文学院早些时候报出丑闻，与一个有性侵行为的人有瓜葛，结果瑞典文学院被迫停止今年的诺贝尔文学奖评审。性侵者已经于近日获判2年期的有期徒刑。

诺贝尔和平奖将于10月5日在奥斯陆宣布。有人爆料特朗普和金正恩可能获奖，那是无稽之谈。今年是不可能的。因为他们推荐的时间已过，即使上也应该是明年。更不用说，不可能上。

下周一8日将是纪念阿尔佛雷德.诺贝尔的经济学奖宣布日期。花落谁家，拭目以待。

STOCKHOLM,  Acupuncture Science Association Sweden successfully held its member assembly and academic lectures as well as the WFAS International Profeciency Test for Acupuncture-Moxibustion Practitioners on Sept. 22, 2018.

The background of the lecture and the doctor’s test was the visit of Wang Shenhe, Vice President of the Chinese Academy of Chinese Medical Societies Academy and Director Zhang Zijun to Sweden.

They visited the Belt and Road Swedish Education Base under the World Federation of Acupuncture and Moxibustion in Stockholm, Sweden, WFAS.  Wang and Zhang visited the education base and made an important speech titled “How can China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences lead Chinese medicine to go abroad.”

The head of the education base, the executive committee of the World Federation of Acupuncture and Moxibustion Associations, and the President of the Swedish Academy of Acupuncture and Academic Research, Yang Chungui, after listening to the speech of President Wang, said that they will further strengthen cooperation with the Chinese Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine and report to President Wang on the joint development plan of the “Belt and Road” joint education base especially emphasized that Jiemei Lawyer and Bengt Wahrolén lawyer of Guohao Law Firm are helping us to fight for acupuncture legislation in Sweden.

President Wang and Director Zhang listened to Yang’s report and expressed appreciation. President Wang also stated that he would strongly support cooperation with Sweden and promote the realization of the goals according to the plan.

The next day, Counselor Dai from the Chinese Embassy in Sweden met with President Wang, Director Zhang, President Yang and Jiemei. Counselor Dai said that the embassy wish the smooth development of the education base in Sweden and promote the success of Chinese medicine acupuncture in Swedish legislation.

President Wang also indicated that he will actively cooperate with the work process. The Swedish Academy of Acupuncture and Moxibustion held the 2018 General Assembly and Academic Lecture on September 22, and the International Acupuncturist Examination was held at the same time.

The Society has invited Yang Jinhong, Executive Vice President of the Chinese Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture Hospital, and Dr. Li Jian, a general practitioner of Swedish Skarpnäck Vårdcentral, to explain the valuable experience of clinical application of acupuncture from two different perspectives: Chinese medicine and Western medicine.

At the same time, the Society also invited Dr. Wang Zefeng, the person in charge of the Chinese Medicine Museum, Dr. Guo Wanchun, the editor of the European Edition of the World Traditional Chinese Medicine magazine, and Yang Liran, the principal of the former Swiss-Chinese Chinese School, to attend the conference.

Yang Jinhong, deputy dean of the hospital, is an expert in acupuncture treatment of neurological diseases, and is also a standardization expert in acupuncture and moxibustion of Chinese medicine and a member of the editorial board of evidence-based acupuncture.

The lecture titled by Dean Yang is “Experience of Acupuncture Therapy for Intractable Diseases”, which explains in detail the experience of acupuncture treatment for refractory facial paralysis, postherpetic neuralgia, epilepsy and motor neuron disease. Dr. Zhang Chenrui acted as an interpreter. 

Dr. Li Jian is a well-known orthopedic expert in Guangzhou, China, and a Ph.D  from the Karolinska Institute of Sweden. He  used Chinese, English and Swedish  to talk about ” Local Analgesic Mechanism of Fascial Tissue Acupuncture  and “Lateral hip pain treatment with the combination of west medicine and traditional Chinese medicine”.  The wonderful lectures by Dean Yang and Dr. Li deeply attracted the audience. Everyone took pictures and took notes, for fear of missing any knowledge point.

The two keynote experts also patiently answered the questions of the audience. With just a few words, they could explain the key points and showed their rich knowledge and profound academic attainments of the experts and won applause.

Meanwhile,WFAS International Profeciency Test for Acupuncture-Moxibustion Practitioners in Sweden in 2018 was also held.

The International Acupuncturist Examination is currently the highest level of acupuncture professional examination in the world. This year, senior acupuncturists such as Reijo Pöyhöne and Wei Wei participated in the examination. Dr. Reijo Pöyhöne has been working in traditional Chinese medicine for acupuncture and moxibustion in Sweden for more than 20 years. He has written a number of Chinese medicine acupuncture teaching materials. Dr. Wei has 10 years of clinical experience in Beijing Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine and a master’s degree in Chinese medicine. He has been practicing medicine in Sweden for more than 10 years. These senior physicians take the exam and will greatly promote the development of acupuncture in Sweden.

 

It is the duty of our acupuncturists to improve acupuncture and moxibustion and better serve patients.

American, Canadian scientists win 2018 Nobel Prize in Physics

By Xuefei Chen Axelsson

STOCKHOLM, Oct. 2(Greenpost) — Göran Hansson,  Permanent Secretary of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has announced the result of the 2018 Nobel Prize in Physics at the headquarter of the Academy.

“The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the Nobel Prize in Physics 2018 “for groundbreaking inventions in the field of laser physics”

with one half to Arthur Ashkin, Bell Laboratories, Holmdel, USA

“for the optical tweezers and their application to biological systems”

and the other half jointly to Gérard Mourou, École Polytechnique, Palaiseau, France and University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, USA and Donna Strickland, University of Waterloo, Canada

“for their method of generating high-intensity, ultra-short optical pulses”.

According to  a press release from the Academy, the inventions being honoured this year have revolutionised laser physics. Extremely small objects and incredibly rapid processes are now being seen in a new light. Advanced precision instruments are opening up unexplored areas of research and a multitude of industrial and medical applications.

Arthur Ashkin invented optical tweezers that grab particles, atoms, viruses and other living cells with their laser beam fingers. This new tool allowed Ashkin to realise an old dream of science fiction – using the radiation pressure of light to move physical objects. He succeeded in getting laser light to push small particles towards the centre of the beam and to hold them there. Optical tweezers had been invented.

A major breakthrough came in 1987, when Ashkin used the tweezers to capture living bacteria without harming them. He immediately began studying biological systems and optical tweezers are now widely used to investigate the machinery of life.

Gérard Mourou and Donna Strickland paved the way towards the shortest and most intense laser pulses ever created by mankind. Their revolutionary article was published in 1985 and was the foundation of Strickland’s doctoral thesis.

Using an ingenious approach, they succeeded in creating ultrashort high-intensity laser pulses without destroying the amplifying material. First they stretched the laser pulses in time to reduce their peak power, then amplified them, and finally compressed them. If a pulse is compressed in time and becomes shorter, then more light is packed together in the same tiny space – the intensity of the pulse increases dramatically.

Strickland and Mourou’s newly invented technique, called chirped pulse amplification, CPA, soon became standard for subsequent high-intensity lasers. Its uses include the millions of corrective eye surgeries that are conducted every year using the sharpest of laser beams.

In an interview with Greenpost, Professor Thors Hans Hansson said they are all deserving the prize because the inventions can be used in many applications in the future.

The innumerable areas of application have not yet been completely explored. However, even now these celebrated inventions allow us to rummage around in the microworld in the best spirit of Alfred Nobel – for the greatest benefit to humankind.

The Laureates

Arthur Ashkin, born 1922 in New York, USA. Ph.D. 1952 from Cornell University, Ithaca, USA.

Gérard Mourou, born 1944 in Albertville, France. Ph.D. 1973.

Donna Strickland, born 1959 in Guelph, Canada. Ph.D. 1989 from University of Rochester, USA.

Prize amount: 9 million Swedish krona, with one half to Arthur Ashkin and the other half to be shared between Gérard Mourou and Donna Strickland.
