Russia – USA classify Wagner as “transnational criminal organization”.
written by Alexandra Hartman Editor-in-Chief
The US classifies the Russian mercenary group Wagner as a “transnational criminal organization”. The spokesman for the White House National Security Council, John Kirby, announced on Friday. The measure allows the US and other countries to restrict the international business of the mercenary group and its worldwide network of supporters. The US government will impose specific sanctions on the Wagner group next week, Kirby said.
He has not yet given details of the sanctions. According to Kirby, Wagner is a criminal organization responsible for atrocities and human rights abuses in Ukraine and around the world. There is growing rivalry between the Wagner group and the Russian military and other Russian ministries. “We see growing tensions between Wagner and the Russian Defense Ministry,” Kirby said.
10,000 Wagner mercenaries in Ukraine
North Korea has also delivered weapons to Wagner in recent weeks, Kirby said. On November 18, a train left Russia for North Korea, loaded by North Korea to return to Russia the next day. There is picture evidence for that. It is assumed that there will be further arms deliveries from North Korea.
The Wagner group is owned by Yevgeny Prigozhin, a close confidante of Russian President Vladimir Putin. Around 50,000 soldiers are currently fighting in the ranks of the private army in Ukraine, Kirby said. Among them are 10,000 mercenaries and 40,000 prisoners. (apa)
Israel: Prof. Dorit Pud Receives The 2022 Landau Prize, For His Pain Research
written by Alexandra Hartman Editor-in-Chief
She studies the differences in pain tolerance depending on the individual
Israeli Prof. Dorit Pud from the Department of Nursing, received the Landau Arts and Sciences Lottery Award for 2022 – which was awarded for the first time in the field of nursing research. Professor Pud founded and directs the Experimental Pain Research Laboratory at the University of Haifa where she studies various factors that may affect our subjective perception of pain. Notably the fact that some people will feel the pain caused by the same stimulus in a different way and with a different intensity.
His research focuses on the biological, genetic, psychological and social factors that influence the perception of pain and the response to analgesics. In this way, she hopes that it will be possible to draw a portrait of the people who are more sensitive to pain, and those who are less so, and to find upstream ways of relieving it effectively. In his laboratory, Prof. Pud uses various methods to produce experimental pain (such as ice water stimulation, transfer of thermal stimuli, etc.) to healthy people without pain in order to characterize their pain system. .
Thanks to collaborations in Israel and around the world, over the years, researchers in the laboratory have been able to demonstrate that there really are people who are more resistant to pain than others. Some of the factors that influence pain perception include anxiety, gender (women are more sensitive to pain), and personal ability to manage pain. In studies that looked at the response of patients with chronic nerve pain to painkillers from the opiate group (morphine), the lab team found that there are people for whom opioids actually make their pain worse instead of to reduce it. Finally, Professor Pud is also studying the effect of medical cannabis on patients suffering from various chronic pain conditions.
