Some incidental literature on the broader view of HS

It is true that lately this space has been flooded by articles around the narrow view on HS. That doesn't mean anything about our personal position regarding the concept, and might be a reflect of the news that get to the headlines of newspapers around the world. But it is not the situation in the academic field, where a plurality of views is constantly adding new insights about almost everything, from everywhere - though not in the same proportions - into the already over-crowded world of information.

To give you an example of a week of information possibly relative to human security, out of science direct system, here are some titles that has got my attention:

+ Centofanti et al. address in the December number of "Science of Total Environment" about a the generation of scenarios to assess risk related to pesticides in Europe. Somewhere else I found that the European Union was having trouble in the approval of new - and the renewal of old - substances given that the valuation methods were questioned in terms of statistical proofs and randomized trials. In other words, in the amount of evidence in respect to the impact inherent to the use of the substance.

+ Florin and Bunting present a Risk governance guidelines for bioenergy policies.

+ Kuo, Tseng and Li make some statistical calculations about the risks of bird flu outbreaks in relation to neighboring countries outbreaks.
