Chronic stress exposure and its pathological body-related consequences have been studied for decades. Data consistently support the hypothesis that being exposed to severe and/or long-lasting stressors heightens the risk for developing a mental or a physical disease, which can be summarized as an overall increased vulnerability to adverse health conditions. Notably, the reported stress-related health consequences differ in their characteristics and include physiological states associated with a suppressed immune defense and anti-inflammatory environment (exemplified e.g. by an increased…mehr

Chronic stress exposure and its pathological body-related consequences have been studied for decades. Data consistently support the hypothesis that being exposed to severe and/or long-lasting stressors heightens the risk for developing a mental or a physical disease, which can be summarized as an overall increased vulnerability to adverse health conditions. Notably, the reported stress-related health consequences differ in their characteristics and include physiological states associated with a suppressed immune defense and anti-inflammatory environment (exemplified e.g. by an increased susceptibility to infections), likewise such as states of a pathological overactive immune system (exemplified e.g. by autoimmune diseases). According to preliminary theories, one pathway of stress exposure entering the body is via the hypothalamus pituitary adrenal (HPA) axis, which is well documented for creating an endocrine stress response. The endocrine stress response adapts the organism to the confrontation with a stressor. Additionally, the immune system provides an immunologic stress response to support the organism's integrity in anticipation of potential physical consequences (e.g. injury). The HPA axis and the immune system are interactive systems which are in reciprocal communication with each other, constantly sending messages created for instance by the HPA axis effector hormone cortisol and by molecules derived from the immune system. The initially health-supporting endocrine and immunologic stress responses are hypothesized to result in health-challenging alterations in the face of severely adverse and/or chronic stressors, which suggests that stress exposure cannot only enter but also remain in the body.
Autorenporträt
Dr. Bachman is a leading expert in the field of renewable energy integration and hydrogen technologies. With a deep understanding of the challenges and opportunities facing Europe's transition to a green economy, Dr. Bachman has dedicated their career to developing innovative solutions for storing renewable energy and building a robust hydrogen infrastructure. This book, Europe's Green Shift: Storing Renewables and Investing in Hydrogen Infrastructure, is a culmination of Dr. Bachman's extensive research and experience. It delves into the critical issue of intermittency associated with renewable energy sources like solar and wind. Dr. Bachman explores various storage solutions, analyzing their strengths, weaknesses, and potential for large-scale implementation. Recognizing the limitations of current storage technologies, Dr. Bachman also champions hydrogen as a game-changer in Europe's green shift. The book examines the production, transportation, and utilization of clean hydrogen, highlighting its potential to decarbonize sectors beyond electricity generation, such as transportation and industry. Dr. Bachman's insightful analysis extends beyond technical considerations. They explore the economic and political landscape surrounding Europe's energy transition, outlining the necessary investments and policy frameworks to foster a thriving hydrogen economy. Europe's Green Shift serves as a blueprint for policymakers, industry leaders, and anyone interested in understanding the complexities and opportunities of Europe's transition to a sustainable energy future. Dr. Bachman's work provides a compelling roadmap for harnessing the power of renewables and hydrogen to create a cleaner, more secure energy system for Europe.
