みなさんこんにちは！このエピソードでは、ブリュッセルに住んでいる私が、ブリュッセルの好きなところと嫌いなところをお話します。今回は好きなところをお話しします。

一つ目は、大きな公園がたくさんあるところです。ブリュッセルには広い公園がいっぱいあって、散歩やピクニックにぴったりです。週末には家族や友だちと楽しく過ごす人でにぎわっています。
二つ目は、日本の映画を映画館で見られるところです。ヨーロッパでは日本の映画を見るのがむずかしいかもしれませんが、ブリュッセルではときどき見ることができます。大きなスクリーンで日本の映画を見ると、とてもわくわくします。
三つ目は、フランスパンやケーキがおいしいところです。パン屋さんが多くて、どこでもおいしいパンやケーキが買えます。朝ごはんにクロワッサンを買って、公園で食べるのが私のお気に入りです。
四つ目は、日本の食べ物が簡単に手に入るところです。日本のスーパーやアジア系のお店があって、しょうゆやみそ、だしなどを買うことができます。海外に住んでいても、日本の味を楽しめるのは本当にうれしいです。
五つ目は、空港が近いところです。ブリュッセル空港は市内から電車で約20分で行けます。旅行に行くときや日本に帰るとき、とても便利です。
最後に、マルシェという外の市場がたくさんあるところです。新鮮な果物や野菜、チーズやお花など、いろいろなものが売っています。地元の人と話したり、季節の食べ物を楽しんだりできるのがいいところです。

Why we need to protect polar bears

Polar bears are being increasingly threatened by the effects of climate change, but their disappearance could have far-reaching consequences. They are uniquely adapted to the extreme conditions of the Arctic Circle, where temperatures can reach -40°C. One reason for this is that they have up to 11 centimetres of fat underneath their skin. Humans with comparative levels of adipose tissue would be considered obese and would be likely to suffer from diabetes and heart disease. Yet the polar bear experiences no such consequences.

A 2014 study by Shi Ping Liu and colleagues sheds light on this mystery. They compared the genetic structure of polar bears with that of their closest relatives from a warmer climate, the brown bears. This allowed them to determine the genes that have allowed polar bears to survive in one of the toughest environments on Earth. Liu and his colleagues found the polar bears had a gene known as APoB, which reduces levels of low-density lipoproteins (LDLs) – a form of ‘bad’ cholesterol. In humans, mutations of this gene are associated with increased risk of heart disease. Polar bears may therefore be an important study model to understand heart disease in humans.

I'll add the last part in the message area.
