Restaurant food waste reduction using nudge techniques at the customer level
Food waste is a critical global problem linked to food insecurity, environmental degradation, and economic losses. Food waste occurs across the supply chain, with a considerable portion generated at the consumer level, including restaurants. Food waste not only compromises global food security but also exacerbates environmental challenges such as greenhouse gas emissions, soil degradation, and water waste. Human behaviour significantly influences…
Community science for mosquito surveillance in Canada
Organizations and public health authorities now have a clear, evidence-based guide to designing, implementing, and evaluating community-driven initiatives. This toolkit not only helps ensure that volunteer participation is meaningful and effective, but it also enhances the capacity to respond to emerging challenges in vector control, laying the groundwork for sustainable, community-driven surveillance efforts
Occupational noise exposure at sea
Introduction: Noise is a significant health hazard for fish harvesters. Chronic exposure to hazardous noise levels of 85 dB (A) for an 8-h work shift can have adverse health impacts, including both auditory and non-auditory health problems such as noise-induced hearing loss, stress, hypertension, sleeping disorders, and impaired cognitive performance. Methods: A review of legislation and policies governing workplace noise exposure, as well as qua…
Climate Autobiography Timeline
Climate perception is a growing area of study in the social sciences and one that has implications on the tools and strategies we use to communicate climate change risk information. However, the range of climate perception studies remains limited, focused primarily on perceptions of day-to-day weather, sudden-onset severe events, or long-term permanent change. Phenomena situated between these extremes (e.g., annual- to decadal-scale variability) …
Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers (PBDEs) in Marine Fish and Dietary Exposure in Newfoundland
Environmental Impact Assessment of Uranium Mining on Indigenous Land in Labrador (Canada)
Studies in Canada reveal the entrenched nature of the nation's mining paradigm that fundamentally undermines the interests of Indigenous peoples. However, very few research studies have explored the hidden biases and manipulations in the process of framing the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) of mines, particularly if developed on Indigenous land. The objectives of the study were to explore what biases and manipulations played roles in frami…
Risk Factors for Fatal Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus Infections in Saudi Arabia
Objectives. To explore complex associations among demographic factors, risk factors, health care, and fatality rates of Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Methods. We based this study on analysis of a publicly accessible line listing of 1256 MERS-CoV cases (2013 to October 2018) available on the World Health Organization’s Web site. For analyses of demographic factors (e.g., age, gender), acces…
Bridging science and community knowledge? The complicating role of natural variability in perceptions of climate change
Exploring Water Insecurity in a Northern Indigenous Community in Canada
This study is one of very few studies of water insecurity in northern Indigenous communities in Canada. In this first phase, we aimed to understand the multiple dimensions and effects of long-term water insecurity in remote Indigenous communities in Canada and to identify coping strategies. This paper presents exploratory findings on water quality, access, use, impacts, and coping mechanisms in the Southern Inuit community of Black Tickle-Domino,…
Sustainability of Current Agriculture Practices, Community Perception, and Implications for Ecosystem Health
Ecosystem Perspective of Groundwater Arsenic Contamination in India and Relevance in Policy
Role of Inequality and Inequity in the Occurrence and Consequences of Chronic Arsenicosis in India and Policy Implications
More than 10 million people living in India face health risks from arsenic-contaminated groundwater. Arsenic originated naturally in the earth's crust in the Himalayan region and was deposited in aquifers for thousands of years. Arsenic exposure is taking place due to intensive use of groundwater in irrigation and household use (drinking and cooking). Although a better understanding of the problem has been arrived at, and a vast knowledge databas…
