BACKGROUND: Vegetarian diets might influence cancer risk. METHODS: We studied 1,645,555 meat eaters, 57,016 poultry eaters, 42,910 pescatarians, 63,147 vegetarians and 8849 vegans in 9 cohorts (UK, US, Taiwan, India). After a median 16 years follow-up, incident cancers were: 4504 mouth and pharynx, 1308 oesophagus (squamous cell), 2105 oesophagus (adenocarcinoma), 3578 stomach, 30,528 colorectum, 2970 liver, 8030 pancreas, 3077 lung (never smokers), 61,368 breast, 11,220 endometrium, 8076 ovary, 45,946 prostate, 7193 kidney, 6869 bladder, 11,651 non-Hodgkin lymphoma, 4658 multiple myeloma and

Quantification of hydrologic model prediction uncertainty for various flow quantiles is of great importance for water resource planning and management. Thus, this study is designed to assess the effect of subbasin spatial scale on the hydrological model prediction uncertainty for different flow quantiles. The Soil Water Assessment Tool (SWAT), a geographic information system (GIS) interfaced hydrological model, was used in this study. Here, the spatial variations within the sub-basins of the Omo Gibe River basin in Ethiopia’s Abelti, Wabi, and Gecha watersheds from 1989 to 2020 were examined.

The advent of molecular methods has revolutionised the field of species delimitation and description, one of the key tasks of systematic biology. In animal taxonomy, one marker, the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) molecule, has acquired and retained disproportionate influence. This is despite its uniparental, clonal mode of inheritance, as a result of which the entire molecule acts as a single locus, and that precludes its use as a test for admixture between putative lineages, a key consideration in species delimitation. To establish the extent to which the limitations of mtDNA affect present-day ta

Fire weather indices (FWIs) are widely used to assess wildfire risk, but are typically designed for specific regions and not adapted globally. Here, we present a systematic effort to generate country-specific FWIs that capture regional…

Despite the recognition of the complexity of soil ecosystem dynamics, most soil microbiome studies sample one field, take one sample per field, or use limited samples throughout the year. This limits our understanding of the spatiotemporal role of the soil microbiome in relation to management practices. To address these limitations, we conducted a year-long investigation of the soil microbiome in two agricultural fields, sampling multiple plots at different soil depths every 5 weeks. We examined spatial and temporal variabilities in response to the application of organic amendments (one-time b

Post-growth has emerged as an umbrella concept for various sustainability visions that prioritise the pursuit of environmental sustainability, social equity, and human wellbeing, while questioning the pursuit of economic growth. Although there are increasing calls to include post-growth scenarios in high-level assessments, there is no coherent framework that specifies what is required to model post-growth. This article addresses this gap by: (1) identifying the minimum requirements for post-growth models, and (2) establishing a set of model elements for representing post-growth policy themes.

The Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has elicited an abrupt pause in the United States in multiple sectors of commerce and social activity. As the US faces this health crisis, the magnitude and rigor of their initial public health response was unprecedented. As a response, the entire nation shutdown at the state-level for the duration of a ~1-3 months. These public health interventions, however, were not arbitrarily decided, but rather, implemented as a result of evidence-based practices. These practices were a result of lessons learned during the 1918 influenza pandemic and the ci

The global obesity crisis involves an unprecedented and rapid change to the human phenotype. Conferring vast levels of avoidable morbidity and mortality at enormous cost, it has proved refractory to previous policy-led action. This article reviews recent developments in our understanding of obesity and its links to the climate co-crisis, aiming to inform evidence-based, societal-level actions to address both. Recent therapeutic developments now offer transformative interventions for millions of people living with obesity. However, treating all affected adults and children with major bariatric

This study examines how media factors influence pro-environmental behavior (PEB) through an integration of Media System Dependency Theory (MSDT) and Norm Activation Theory (NAT). Using both Fuzzy Decision-Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (F-DEMATEL) and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM), it evaluates the effects of media factors on NAT components-awareness of consequences and ascription of responsibility-and their role in activating personal norms that drive PEB. The study also considers the moderating impact of self-efficacy on the link between personal norms and PEB. Findings from F-D

European legislation, particularly the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR), is rapidly increasing the demand for high-quality recycled polypropylene (PP) in packaging applications. Achieving such qualities through mechanical recycling remains challenging due to the heterogeneity of post-consumer waste, while the role of intensified washing in the overall decontamination remains debated. This study evaluates the influence of additional sorting and washing intensity on material properties, product performance, and environmental impacts in mechanical recycling of Dutch post-consumer r

Machine learning and geostatistics are two fundamentally different frameworks for the prediction and spatial mapping of soil properties. Geostatistics leverages the spatial structure of soil properties, whereas machine learning models capture the relationship between available environmental features and soil properties. We propose a hybrid framework that augments machine learning with spatial context through the engineering of ‘spatial lag’ features derived from ordinary kriging. We call this approach ‘kriging prior regression’ (KpR), as it reverses the logic of regression kriging by incorpera
