This chapter aligns with SDGs 7, 11, and 10, by offering a case study on renewable energy and rural electrification in Ecuador, in the context of socioeconomic challenges and climate change, whilst also drawing on other examples from developing countries elsewhere.
The article highlights the potential of AI to support SDGs related to responsible consumption and production (Goal 12), and climate action (Goal 13).
Sex discrimination and sexual misconduct are endemic issues within the National Health Service (NHS). The extent of the problem amongst radiology registrars across the UK is unknown. This national survey explores the experiences of radiology registrars in relation to sex discrimination, sexual harassment, and sexual assault during radiology training, in addition to the impact on wellbeing and barriers to reporting behaviours.
The article examines the longitudinal changes in socioeconomic differences in fruit and vegetable (F&V) consumption among a cohort of ageing Finnish women transitioning to statutory retirement.
This study reports on sex disparity in Eurotransplant, the largest organ exchange organization in Europe. Learn why relatively fewer females undergo transplantation, and why relatively more females die within 90 days of listing.
A major concern for cancer survivors after treatment is the Fear of Cancer Recurrence (FCR), which is the fear that cancer will reappear or progress. This fear can be exacerbated by medical uncertainty about the future, leading to harmful obsession and having a negative impact on quality of life. This study aims to develop a predictive Machine Learning (ML) model using healthcare reimbursement data to better predict FCR and understand the factors influencing FCR in women with breast cancer five years after their diagnosis.
International Women's Day highlights both women's achievements and ongoing efforts toward global gender equality. Gender disparities in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) affect a country's innovation and ability to tackle global challenges. Therefore, recent national education policies have looked for ways to promote gender equality, particularly in the STEM subjects.
In the context of increasing sex differences in psychiatric disorders over time, it is urgent to reduce the sex differences in psychiatric disorders. The findings that sex differences in psychiatric disorders exist almost across the whole life emphasized the adoption of gendered mental health prevention strategies and consistent risk factor management over the lifecourse. The variation of such differences across age and socioeconomic status suggests that the current knowledge - females predominate in internalizing disorders and males predominate in externalizing disorders - can be improved by incorporating information on age and socioeconomic status.
