To address the gap between global sustainability commitments and action, piecemeal solutions targeting singular impacts fall short. Interventions remain fragmented across sectors and frequently prioritize downstream remediation over upstream prevention. Emphasizing the pressing importance of moving toward more systemic approaches, this paper introduces an integrated sustainability hierarchy framew

INTRODUCTION: Sexual violence is highly prevalent in North Kivu, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and access to care for survivors remains challenging. This study aims to analyse characteristics of violence, barriers to care and timely access to care among survivors of sexual violence who accessed care in North Kivu following the increase of violence and displacement 2023-2024. Furthermore, it

Public involvement (PI) - research conducted with or by members of the public - isincreasingly recognised as essential to high-quality intervention research. However,its role in Prevention Science, including within family-based interventions, remainsunclear. We conducted a scoping review following Arksey and O’Malley (2005),Levac et al. (2010) and JBI guidance (Peters et al., 2020). Peer-reviewed

Background: Young women in India continue to face diverse challenges that threaten their health and wellbeing. The reproductive health and rights of newly married women, who are often expected to begin childbearing soon after marriage, are often neglected. The present study aims to understand some of the factors associated with the desire to delay the first childbirth in young, married women in In

BACKGROUND: In Lithuania, the legislation addressing confidentiality in adolescent healthcare is contradictory and vague. Previous studies have also revealed that medico-legal knowledge among physicians is poor, and attitudes play a correspondingly greater role than legal knowledge in ensuring the confidentiality of patients. OBJECTIVE: To survey the knowledge of Lithuanian general practitioner (G

Objectives: This study aimed to assess how transfers of clinical prediction models for early trauma care between different care contexts within a single health system affected mistriage rates. Study Design and Setting: Patients aged 15 years or older, registered between 2011 and 2016 in the Swedish national trauma registry, SweTrau, were included. Three data set groups were created: high- and low-

Background: Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) is a concept of human rights applied to sexuality and reproduction. Suboptimal access to SRHR services in many low-income countries results in poor health outcomes. Sustainable development goals (3.7 and 5.6) give a new impetus to the aspiration of universal access to high-quality SRHR services. Indispensable stakeholders in this process

High-resolution modelling is needed to understand urban air quality and pollutant dispersion in detail. Recently, the PALM model system 6.0, which is based on large-eddy simulation (LES), was extended with the detailed Sectional Aerosol module for Large Scale Applications (SALSA) v2.0 to enable studying the complex interactions between the turbulent flow field and aerosol dynamic processes. This s

Since its inception in 1980, the International Christian Embassy Jerusalem (ICEJ) has developed into a central player in the formation of Christian Zionism globally. It is known through its high profile in Israeli society, its financial, moral and political support for the State of Israel and its controversial mix of theology and politics. This article focuses on ICEJ's ideological and theological

The diurnal cycle of precipitation is a fundamental mode of climatic variability. Based on an hourly 0.1° × 0.1° gauge-satellite merged precipitation dataset, which is provided by the China Meteorological Data Service Center, this study used the K-means clustering algorithm to map the diurnal cycles of precipitation in summer over China. The obtained maps can objectively delineate irregular region

In this paper, I explored how two media aid projects from Sweden were used to intervene in the development of Vietnamese journalism between 1993 and 2007. Vietnamese journalism and media aid are contextualized in this paper by unfolding pedagogical ideology, journalistic culture, and the negotiation of professional ideals. Based on an interview study with Swedish trainers from the media aid projec

In this chapter, we draw upon theoretical and empirical contributions from environmen-tal politics, sustainability studies, and Science and Technology Studies (STS) to examine how the specialized knowledge of technical experts and the informal knowledge of non-experts infuence debates about sustainability and the environment. Of particular interest is how experts from diferent discipli

We highlight important assumptions associated with the research program in sustainability science developed around “corporate biosphere stewardship” and the promise of “science-business initiatives.” In doing so, we interrogate a central concept in this research, “keystone actors.” We analyze the program based on associated research outputs and communications, focusing on three key challenges 1) i

The article examines the ways in which the slowly evolving and invisible processes of the ongoing ecological crisis can be represented in the format of a contemporary serial television drama. The author argues that despite heavy reliance on spectacular and captivating character-born plots, the long-form storytelling of new television narratives can be well suited to representing the complex and un

International research collaboration stands at a pivotal juncture, shaped by enduring structural inequalities between high-, middle-, and low-income countries and challenged by a trend of withdrawal from international collaboration. These asymmetries can create a misalignment between global scientific progress and the capacity to address pressing societal crises, which often disproportionately aff

The so-called Parents' Movement is a Russian conservative grassroots mobilization against a presumed Western cultural attack on Russian tradition and sovereignty. The primary target is an ongoing legal implementation of the UN Convention of the Rights of the Child, which is conceived of as a Western feint contrived by hostile global agencies and a Russian fifth column of treacherous NGOs and state

Aims: Tobacco-smoking behaviours of young people between the age of 18 and 25 years are less understood than those of middle-aged people. The aim of this study is to contribute to improved knowledge of some of the factors that are associated with smoking and cessation among young people. Methods: We use the most recently available public health survey data from the southern region of Skåne in Swed
