Unhealthy diet and lack of physical activity are leading global risks to health. Healthy dietary practices start early in life – breastfeeding fosters healthy growth and improves cognitive development, and may have longer term health benefits such as reducing the risk of becoming overweight or obese and developing NCDs later in life. Energy intake (calories) should be in balance with energy expenditure. To avoid unhealthy weight gain, total fat should not exceed 30% of total energy intake (1, 2, 3). Intake of saturated fats should be less than 10% of total energy intake, and intake of trans-fats less than 1% of total energy intake, with a shift in fat consumption away from saturated fats and trans-fats to unsaturated fats (3), and towards the goal of eliminating industrially-produced trans-fats (4, 5, 6). Limiting intake of free sugars to less than 10% of total energy intake (2, 7) is part of a healthy diet. A further reduction to less than 5% of total energy intake is suggested for additional health benefits (7). Keeping salt intake to less than 5 g per day (equivalent to sodium intake of less than 2 g per day) helps to prevent hypertension, and reduces the risk of heart disease and stroke in the adult population (8). WHO Member States have agreed to reduce the global population’s intake of salt by 30% by 2025; they have also agreed to halt the rise in diabetes and obesity in adults and adolescents as well as in childhood overweight by 2025 (9, 10).By: Anne Miller vijayalaxmi Santosh MhetreTuesday, Aug 19, 2025WATER, ENERGY, AND THE ENVIRONMENT

PostPrimer text from The College of William & Mary ADHD is one of the most commonly diagnosed conditions of children (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2015). In a 2016 Centers for Disease Control and Prevention study, scientists found that 6.1 million children aged 2-17 years living in the U.S. had been diagnosed with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), which is similar to previous estimates. Ages 2-5: Approximately 388,000 children Ages 6-11: Approximately 2.4 million children Ages 12-17: Approximately 3.3 million childrenBy: Anne Miller vijayalaxmi Santosh MhetreThursday, Aug 14, 2025CULTURE AND SOCIETY+1

ArticleA series of special events throughout the congress are equally dedicated to furthering critical reflTaking place on September 10-12, 2025, at Linnaeus University in Växjö, Sweden, the Eight European Congress on World and Global History invites participants to explore new avenues in global history. At the congress 400 speakers from diverse disciplinary and national contexts who are organized in more than 80 panels will share their thoughts on how dominating meta-narratives in global history can be overcome by integrating a broader and more diverse range of voices and perspectives. In doing so, they will take stock of the thematical and theoretical expansions global history as a field has undergone in the past decades as well use the opportunity to critically self-reflect and to discuss methodological and thematic innovations. Panels and Roundtables are organized in 11 congress themes: • Temporalities and periodizations in global history • Ethical aspects of doing global history • Expanding the global archive • Multivocality in global history • Global history and decoloniality • Transdisciplinary approaches • Indigenous perspectives and methodologies • Challenging modernity from the perspective of global history • National history, nationalist backlash, and identity politics • Global environmental history • Nordic colonialism A series of special events throughout the congress are equally dedicated to furthering critical reflection, diversity and inclusivity in global history: First and foremost among them the two keynote lectures by Laura de Mello e Souza and Fe/derico Navarrete. Fe/derico Navarrete explores “Cosmohistories, the multiplicity of worlds and their histories“ and presents cosmohistory as a concept that overcomes unilinear, Eurocentric and teleological perspectives on world histories by investigating historical communities as coexisting and colliding entities that refuse to conform to simplistic and homogenizing narratives. In her lecture on “Provisional Forms of Existence in Portuguese America – 16th-18th Centuries“ Laure de Mello e Souza showcases how the blended knowledge of indigenous, African, and Portuguese actors shaped present-day Brazil. Both keynotes, therefore highlight the multivocality and diversity but also the interdependency of diverse communities in history. The Plenary Session “Nordic Colonialism” convened by Janne Lahti equally seeks to overcome notions of exceptionalism and isolationist narratives by showing how the Nordic countries were involved in and connected to global colonial history. Bringing these various strands of academic interests together the Closing Roundtable on “Publishing Global History” organized by Birgit Tremml-Werner and Daniel Laqua investigates how the publishing industry in Global History can become more inclusive both in terms of content as well as in terms of practicalities. Furthermore, we are looking forward to welcoming ten renowned international publishing houses to our publishers’ exhibition.
