Stigma as a Social Determinant of Health: A Policy Classification Framework and Call to Action

LISA CARTER‐BAWA

Policy Points Stigma functions as a social determinant of health (SDOH), producing population health inequities through resource deprivation, social exclusion, constrained health care, physiological stress, and diminished agency—yet it lacks formal SDOH classification. Because stigma operates as a fundamental cause of health inequalities, policy responses must extend beyond health care systems to encompass housing, employment, education, and social participation. Discrimination is already classified as an SDOH; for …

Improving patient safety with triple-scan technology for insulin pen administration

Courtney K Wulffson, Melissa M Babin, Merissa T Andersen Pinotti

Abstract Purpose High-alert medications such as insulin pose serious risks to patients when used in error. In response to vulnerabilities identified in existing insulin administration workflows, we implemented a comprehensive approach to mitigate the risk of errors in the hospital setting. Summary A new electronic health record capability, referred to as the “triple-scan system,” was introduced to enhance insulin pen administration safety. This system requires nurses to scan the patient’s wristband barcode, the ins …

The CLEAR model: a structured communication protocol for breast radiologists

Teresa Abbattista, Aram Hasan

Background Communication in diagnostic breast imaging remains a critical yet frequently neglected aspect of radiological training. Traditionally centered on technical image interpretation, radiological education often leaves practitioners unprepared to navigate the severe emotional and psychological burden of a suspected breast cancer diagnosis. Objectives This paper advocates for the communicative autonomy of the breast radiologist, arguing that direct, empathetic communication is not a secondary skill, but a core …

Association of atherogenic index of plasma and its modified indices with gestational diabetes mellitus: a prospective cohort study based on the Korean population

Feng Lu, Yingjie Chen

Background Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a common pregnancy complication, yet current diagnosis at 24–28 weeks may occur after metabolic changes have already begun. The atherogenic index of plasma (AIP, log₁₀[TG/HDL-C]) has shown promise for early GDM risk stratification, but it does not incorporate obesity-related parameters. We evaluated whether first-trimester AIP and its modified indices, AIP-BMI and AIP-WC, are associated with subsequent GDM and compared their predictive performance. Methods This seco …

Russia's Strategic Paradox: Short‐Term Gains, Long‐Term Risks from the Iran War

Namig Abbasov, Emil S. Aslan

Abstract How is the Iran War influencing Russia's foreign policy? This article argues that the conflict strengthens Moscow's short‐term strategic position while reinforcing the structural limits of Russian power. The analysis traces these effects across Russia's wartime economy, its position in Ukraine and the Middle East, and its relations with China and Iran. Higher oil prices and reduced Western focus on the Ukraine conflict provide Moscow with immediate economic and operational advantages. However, these benefi …

Selective Similarity Preference: People with a “Darker Core” Desire More Partner Similarity in Dark Traits but Not in Big Five

Hao Wu, Shanhong Luo, Whitney Wall, Karryll Winborne-Phillips

Research on assortative mating has shown that couples share strong similarities in demographic and attitudinal variables, while the similarity in personality is generally weak. However, a recent meta-analysis indicated that couple similarity in dark traits is considerably greater than that in the Big Five. If these differential similarities are primarily due to active preference, we expect that (1) the desire for similarity in dark traits should be higher than that for the Big Five and (2) the strongest desire for …

The article investigates the qualitative transformation of modern warfare: from classical armed confrontation to a paradigm in which information-computational systems based on artificial intelligence (AI) become the principal actors on the battlefield, while the human progressively shifts to the role of overseer. Modern war is increasingly a managerial and technological task requiring high-level cooperation between government, education, business and the military – a thesis confirmed by the empirical evidence of th …

From tolerance and tokenism to radical inclusion: decolonial and intersectional approach to diversity in arts organisations and cultural policy

Lilja Lehmuskallio

Improving diversity and the position of minority and marginalised groups structurally in European arts and culture has remained challenging despite continuing efforts. Structural inequalities and barriers to participation are still prevalent. To address structural discrimination, the epistemology onto which policies, practices, and institutions have been built, must be examined. The purpose of this article is to critically examine how discriminating hegemonic power structures, derived from colonial and europatriarc …

The lack of waste transfer centers in municipal areas contributes to the creation of illegal dumps and increased unsanitary conditions. Illegal dumps are a major source of environmental impacts. Their presence leads to the proliferation of flies, mosquitoes, insects, and other pests. This article aims to illustrate the rapid development of illegal dumps in Sector 14 of Almadies. The methodology employed is based on GPS surveys conducted in the field. Fieldwork focused on direct interviews and the distribution of a …

Time-Varying Effects of Monetary Policy on House Prices in China: Evidence from 2008 to 2025 with the TVP-VAR Approach

Jiannan Zhu, Asyraf Bin Abdul Halim

Abstract This paper investigates the dynamic and nonlinear effects of monetary policy on house prices in China from 2008 to 2025. Utilizing a Bayesian Time-Varying Parameter Vector Autoregression (TVPVAR) model with stochastic volatility, we estimate the evolution of policy transmission in terms of shock magnitude and time-lag. By conducting 20,000 MCMC simulations, the study identifies significant structural shifts in the transmission mechanism. The results show that while the stimulative effect of targeted housin …

Electrochemically Active Sensing Materials and Multi-Material Joints in Aerospace Corrosion Health Monitoring: Transduction, Representativeness and Validation Requirements

Patryk Ciężak, Andrzej Leski, Krzysztof Dragan, Piotr Synaszko, Michał Sałaciński

Corrosion of airframe alloys is managed by scheduled inspections rather than measurement. Continuous monitoring could change this. Progress in electrochemically active sensing materials has increased laboratory detectability, yet little has reached operational aircraft. We argue that the limiting factor is not sensitivity but representativeness: whether a sensor’s response reflects the true condition of the structure it monitors. We treat aerospace corrosion as a six-stage cascade and map each material and transduc …

M. V. Anisiforova

Problems, including chronic administrative ones, in the public administration system are being studied by many management experts. Some, if not all, of these problems are linked to the lack of a common conceptual framework for their resolution, as well as a lack of unified approaches agreed upon with civil society regarding the areas (or, if you will, the breakthrough areas) where the state should focus its primary efforts and resources within public administration. The increasing frequency of appeals to the idea o …
