Cancer and Aging: Why Bother about Light at Night?
Shift work which causes circadian disruption is an established cancer risk factor. A large body of experimental and epidemiological data proves that exposure to light at night promotes carcinogenesis in various tissues and accelerates aging [1-3]. Artificial or natural light through master clock located in suprachiasmatic nuclei of hypothalamus suppresses night peak of melatonin synthesis in th...

concluded that "shift-work that involves circadian disruption is probably carcinogenic to humans" [1].

The current experimental results of Vinogradova and colleagues from Petrozavodsk and St. Petersburg render further support to this important issue and indicate a number of h...
متن کاملLIGHT POLLUTION: Light at Night and Breast Cancer Risk Worldwide
Several studies over the last decade have suggested that the modern practice of keeping our bodies exposed to artificial light at night, or LAN, increases cancer risk, especially for cancers (such as breast and prostate cancers) that require hormones to grow. Women who work night shifts have shown higher rates of breast cancer, whereas blind women, who are not likely to be exposed to or perceiv...
متن کاملWhy bother about bother: Is it worth it to ask the user?
In this paper, we discuss the importance of modeling the potential bother to the user, when reasoning about interaction in a mixed-initiative setting. We summarize our previous work on modeling bother as one of the costs of interaction, clarifying how to incorporate this estimated cost when reasoning about whether to initiate interaction. We then present a new method for modeling bother that ap...
