Conservation challenges and land dynamics in a threatened coastal forest biodiversity hotspot, Tanzania
The study examined Land Use/Land Cover (LULC) changes between 1995 and 2022 in Tanzania’s coastal forest biodiversity hotspot, the Pugu-Kazimzumbwi Nature Forest Reserve, near Dar es Salaam, the country’s most populous city. The study identified eight major LULC types from Landsat imageries, some of which revealed significant changes over time. From 1995 to 2009, agriculture, bushland, settlements, and woodland increased, while forest, water bodi…

Problematic online behaviors constitute related yet distinct conditions
This study tested the Spectrum hypothesis of problematic online behaviors (POBs) which posits that POBs (e.g., online gaming, gambling, sexual activities, and social networking) constitute distinct, yet related constructs. To overcome the limitations of previous research, we recruited a representative sample of young men and capitalized on a common assessment approach (Fifth version of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders [DS…
Response to the Regulation of Video Games under the Youth Media Protection Act
The Swiss Youth and Media Act, which is about to enter into force, is an attempt to provide a legislative framework for video game use. Among other inclusions, the law intends to make providers more accountable by taking measures to protect minors from harm that can be caused by improper use of video games. However, it is a challenge to create a legal framework that can adequately regulate the evolving features of video games. Legislators must fi…
Switzerland’s Narcotics Regulation Jungle
The word "narcotic" is often first associated with "illicit drugs". Yet, many "narcotic" and psychotropic substances are, in fact, medicines. Controlled medicines (CM) are products that meet the legal definition of both a "narcotic" under the Swiss Narcotics Act and of a medicine under the Therapeutic Products Act. We aim to examine how similar and how different, respectively, the implementation of CM regulations is throughout French-speaking Swi…
Agonist Treatment for Opioid Dependence Syndrome
The provision of opioid agonist treatments (OATs), as a standard approach towards opioid dependence syndrome, differs widely between countries. In response to access disparities, in 2014, the Council of Europe's Pompidou Group first brought together an expert group on framework conditions for the treatment of opioid dependence. The group used a Delphi approach to structure their discussions and develop guiding principles for the modernisation of …
Perspective of Internet Poker Players on Harm-Reduction Strategies
Background: Internet gambling may increase rates of gambling harm. This current study aimed to assess Internet poker players' views on various harm-reduction (HR) strategies. It also examined differences in these views according to the games played (poker only vs. poker plus other gambling activities), indebtedness, and problem gambling severity. Methods: Internet poker players ( n = 311; 94.2% Male) recruited online between 2012 and 2014 were in…
Words matter
BACKGROUND: Words matter when describing people involved in the criminal justice system because language can have a significant impact upon health, wellbeing, and access to health information and services. However, terminology used in policies, programs, and research publications is often derogatory, stigmatizing, and dehumanizing. DISCUSSION: In response, health experts from Europe, the United States, and Australia recommend that healthcare prof…

Ralentissement démographique et chômage
Le recul de la natalité et celui de la mortalité produisent d’importants changements dans la démographie de la majeure partie des pays industrialisés, dont la France. Après plusieurs décennies de croissance assez soutenue, la population active voit sa progression ralentir ou s’inverser. Ce mouvement s’accompagne d’une croissance rapide de la population en âge d’être retraitée. Cette étude s’intéresse à l’impact de ce double mouvement pour l’équil…
