Forestry stakeholders' perspectives on the prospects for restoring European ash in Sweden
European ash ( Fraxinus excelsior ) is a keystone broadleaved tree species in northern Europe, valued for its ecological functions, cultural heritage, timber and biodiversity support. Since the early 2000s, ash populations have declined dramatically due to ash dieback caused by the invasive fungus Hymenoscyphus fraxineus , raising questions about whether and how the species can be restored. While substantial research has focused on genetic resist…
Influence of management on susceptibility of Nordic boreal forests to damage by natural disturbances
Natural disturbances are fundamental in shaping forest ecosystems, yet management decisions in production forests can aggravate or mitigate their impacts. Understanding the interplay between forest adaptation strategies and susceptibility to damage is important for sustainable forest management. Here, we review the scientific literature to explore the relationship between natural disturbances and the impact of forest adaptation strategies on the …
Posttraumatic Growth Among Survivors of Natural Disaster in Indonesia
After a natural disaster, survivors may undergo psychological and emotional challenges. Some experts argue that such traumatic incidents can also foster posttraumatic growth (PTG). This qualitative descriptive study aimed to explore the progression of PTG and the factors influencing it among natural disaster survivors. Seventy individuals originating from disaster-affected regions in Indonesia between 2006 and 2022 participated in 7 focus groups …
Needle Spiking
This scoping review aimed to synthesize peer-reviewed evidence on the prevalence, motivations, and outcomes of needle spiking. A systematic search of PubMed, CINAHL, and Google Scholar databases was conducted on February 13, 2025, and revealed six articles that met the inclusion criteria. The review found that despite the rise in media attention, the incidence of reported needle spiking is relatively low. Victims are predominantly younger females…
Retaining a Multicultural Nursing Workforce
Introduction: The increased globalization of nurses has prompted organizations to explore innovative strategies to retain their workforce. However, due to cultural variations and increased workforce diversity, a one-size-fits-all retention strategy may not be effective. Methodology: In this paper, we discuss nurse migration and retention to identify points of intersection and possible theories that can be applied. Results: Nurse migration and ret…
Internal and International Migration and the Mental Health of “Left-Behind” Older Parents
Despite evidence of the impact of adult children's migration on left-behind older parents, the comparison of left-behind older parents’ mental health and psychological well-being between internal and international migration is limited. This article examines how the relationship between adult children's migration and parent's mental health differs according to the migrant's destination — only internal migration, only international migration, or hy…
Violence by Burning Against Women and Girls
Violence against women and girls by burning is a serious and confronting form of gender-based violence. Often, perpetrators aim to disfigure their victims or cause great pain, rather than kill them. Little is known about the characteristics of females who are subjected to violence by burning. This study aimed to review the literature concerning the prevalence, demographic profile, injury event, contributing factors and health outcomes for women a…

More than a house
Recovery from homelessness for women is often a long, complex and highly individualised journey. This study investigated women's experiences of exiting homelessness and examined the factors that influenced recovery. The qualitative interpretive study involved auto-driven photo elicitation and in-depth interviews with 11 women who had previously been homeless. It took place in Australia between August 2018 and August 2019. Women took photographs t…

She studied at art schools in Vienna, Paris, and the Netherlands, including with German painter Max Beckmann in Frankfurt. The Nazi rise to power cut short Marie-Louise Motesiczky's career in Central Europe.…
Chi‐square for model fit in confirmatory factor analysis
Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) aims to confirm a theoretical model using empirical data and is an element of the broader multivariate technique structural equation modelling (SEM; Alavi et al., 2020). CFA is commonly used across clinical research (Brown, 2015; Kääriäinen et al., 2011) including the development and psychometric evaluation of measurement instruments. The three main uses of CFA in psychometric evaluation studies are construct va…
An ethnographic study of schizophrenia in Zimbabwe
This ethnographic study explored the experiences of eighteen Shona speakers living with schizophrenia in Zimbabwe. Data were collected using semistructured interviews, observations and field notes. Almost three in four participants reported having a strong religious affiliation and believed mental illnesses are caused by spirits (zvirwere zvemweya) or witchcraft (zvirwere zvevaroyi). Cultural and religious beliefs influenced the perceived causes …
The tree species matters
The choice of tree species used in production forests matters for biodiversity and ecosystem services. In Sweden, damage to young production forests by large browsing herbivores is helping to drive a development where sites traditionally regenerated with Scots pine ( Pinus sylvestris ) are instead being regenerated with Norway spruce ( Picea abies ). We provide a condensed synthesis of the available evidence regarding the likely resultant implica…
Christians with chronic complex trauma and relationally focused spiritual difficulties
This single-case study explored associations between relational trauma experienced during childhood and relationally focused spiritual difficulties encountered during adulthood. Fifteen initial therapy transcripts of a 57-year-old female Christian with complex trauma were analyzed. Relational experiences included: (a) “eating their young” (early developmental context); (b) “broken-winged chick” (sense of self); (c) “wounded sparrow” (self in rela…
Women and homelessness, a complex multidimensional issue
Homelessness is an increasingly prevalent issue worldwide. Women represent the fastest growing segment of the homeless population and have differing needs to men. These differences need to be considered by service providers and other stakeholders working with homeless women. A scoping review was conducted to address the question “What is known about issues relating to homeless women in the existing literature?” PubMed, PsycInfo, Embase, CINAHL, S…

Colonial surgeon Patrick Hill (1794–1852)
Despite making a substantial contribution to the development of mental health services in colonial Australia, until now the story of Dr Patrick Hill’s (1794–1852) life has been overlooked by historians. This paper reviews primary sources including clinical notes, patient lists, letters, government documents and newspaper articles which reveal that Dr Hill was a dedicated physician who played a vital role in the development of Australian mental he…
Social Complexity and Political Capitals in Ancient Eurasia
This article draws upon archaeological evidence of settlement and enclosure sites as key indicators of social complexity in agro-pastoral societies of Central Asia and Inner Eurasia during the Late Iron Age–Late Antique periods. Large fortified enclosures (kalas) were the political capitals of mobile states and empires, embodying and displaying the power, status, and prestige of ruling elites. Low-density “urban” sites were located in dispersed s…
Navigating Nuances of Language and Meaning
For people living with schizophrenia, their experience is personal and culturally bound. Focused ethnography enables researchers to understand people’s experiences in-context, a prerequisite to providing person-centered care. Data are gathered through observational fieldwork and in-depth interviews with cultural informants. Regardless of the culture, ethnographic research involves resolving issues of language, communication, and meaning. This art…
Aligning theory and methodology in mixed methods research
When a theoretical framework (and its components) is not clearly linked to research methods, researchers risk designing flawed studies, wherein the stated research question is inconsistent with the research design. Explicitly identifying one’s theoretical orientation can provide an orderly schematic for linking observations from separate investigations (i.e. qualitative, quantitative) thereby facilitating understandings and guiding research desig…
