“…Dutch is spoken both in the Netherlands and in Flanders, the northern part of Belgium. In the Netherlands, a sound change is currently on-going whereby the tense mid vowels /eː,øː,oː/ are becoming diphthongs [ei,øy,ou] (van der Harst, 2011; van der Harst et al, 2014; Van de Velde, 1996; Zwaardemaker & Eijkman, 1924), except when followed by coda /l/ (realized as [ɫ], with optional vocalization in the Netherlands; van Reenen & Jongkind, 2000) or another approximant consonant (/r,υ,j/) in specific phonological configurations (Berns & Jacobs, 2012; Botma et al, 2012; Voeten, 2015). In addition, the original diphthongs /εi,œy,ɔu/ have begun to diphthongize more strongly in the Netherlands (Blankestein, 1994; Gerritsen & Jansen, 1980; Gussenhoven & Broeders, 1976; van Heuven et al, 2005; Jacobi, 2009; Mees & Collins, 1983; Stroop, 1992, 1998; Van de Velde, 1996; Voortman, 1994) except before coda /l/, while they diphthongize more weakly in Flanders (Van de Velde, 1996; Verhoeven, 2005).…”

It is still unclear whether an individual’s adoption of on-going sound change starts in production or in perception, and what the time course of the adoption of sound change is in adult speakers. These issues are investigated by means of a large-scale (106 participants) laboratory study of an on-going vowel shift in Dutch. The shift involves the tense mid vowels /eː,øː,oː/, which are changing into phonologically conditioned upgliding diphthongs, and the original diphthongs /εi,œy,ɔu/, whose nuclei are lowering. These changes are regionally stratified: they have all but completed in the Netherlands, but have not affected the variety of Dutch spoken in neighboring Belgium. The study compares production (word-list reading) and perception (rhyme decision) data from control groups from each country to those of 18 “sociolinguistic migrants”: Belgian individuals who moved to the Netherlands years ago. Data are analyzed using mixed-effects models, considering not just the group level, but also individual differences. Production results show that at the group level, the migrant group is in between the two control groups, but at the individual level it becomes apparent that some migrants have adopted the Netherlandic norms, but others have not. Perception results are similar to the production results at the group level. Individual-level results do not provide a clear picture for the perception data, but the individual differences in perception correlate with those in production. The results agree with and extend previous findings on the role of individual differences in the individual adoption and eventual community propagation of on-going sound change.

“…Furthermore, empowering patients can facilitate fewer rehospitalisations and relatively fewer hospital visits, which will eventuate in the use of less carbon (Charmel and Frampton, 2008). Several studies have found that using metered dose inhalers in people with respiratory diseases increases carbon emissions over time (Wilkinson et al, 2019;Janson et al, 2020;Panigone et al, 2020;Kponee-Shovein et al, 2022;Wichers and Pieters, 2022). When possible, using alternatives such as powderfree inhalers or soft mist inhalers can reduce carbon emissions (Pernigotti et al, 2021).…”

Over 98% of the world's greenhouse gas emissions in 2014 came from carbon dioxide (CO2), methane, and nitrous oxide. Over one century, CO2 emissions increased from 3.09 to 37.12 billion metric tons. The healthcare sector is one of the major sources of greenhouse gas emissions. The carbon footprint of a country's healthcare system is influenced by its domestic economy, healthcare expenditure, and energy system. The aim of this study is to present a concise of the present status of carbon emissions within the healthcare sectors on a global scale, as well as the forthcoming endeavors to mitigate these emissions. A narrative review of studies on climate change, carbon emissions, and greenhouse gases in the healthcare sector was conducted using Medline PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus and Google Scholar databases from 2005 to April 2023. According to the data, several countries emit more carbon per capita than others. The Conference of the Parties on Climate Change (COP26) recently encompassed extensive efforts culminating in releasing initiatives toward zero-carbon healthcare sectors. Efforts in some medical practices, smart technology to save energy, digital health, artificial intelligence technology, and monitoring have contributed to reducing carbon emissions. In conclusion, the healthcare sector with zero carbon emissions must be sustainable, adaptable, and efficient while delivering safe, high-quality care. Addressing the sector's carbon footprint requires innovative strategies, a multisector approach, health professionals' participation, community engagement, and regular monitoring of emissions and performance indicators to ensure patient service quality and low carbon emissions in the healthcare sector.

“…Over the past 100 years or so (at least since Zwaardemaker & Eijkman, 1924), the nd tense mid vowels [eː,øː,oː] have changed into upgliding diphthongs [ei,øy,ou] ( Van de Velde, 1996;Voeten, 2020bVoeten, , 2015. In tandem with this phonetic change, a phonological change has taken place in these vowels: the diphthongal realizations lose their upglide before, among others, coda /l/ (Berns & Jacobs, 2012;Botma, Sebregts, & Smakman, 2012;Voeten, 2020bVoeten, , 2015 and /r/ within the same foot (Gussenhoven, 1993). This is true of both the newlydiphthongal tense mid vowels [ei,øy,ou] and the original diphthongs [ɛi,oey,ɔu], which shows that the tense mid vowels have not just changed phonetically, but also phonologically (Voeten, 2015).…”

This paper investigates the adoption of ongoing community sound change by individuals by considering it as an instance of second-dialect acquisition. Four ongoing changes in Dutch, all involving the move from one-allophone to two-allophone systems, make this possible: these ongoing diachronic changes are simultaneously a source of synchronic variation between Netherlandic Dutch and Flemish Dutch. The paper investigates the adoption of these differences by sociolinguistic migrants: Flemish-Dutch speakers who migrated to the Netherlands to start their university studies. Participants were tracked over the course of nine months, using a rhyme-decision task and a word-list-reading task. Results show robust differences from Netherlandic-Dutch controls, which do not diminish over the nine months. While longer-term accommodation to these same changes has been found elsewhere, it appears that nine months is not enough time. The implications of these findings for various subfields of linguistics, particularly sound change and second-dialect acquisition, are discussed.
