Summary: The American Cancer Society has published a report on cancer disparities in the United States, highlighting the significant variations in cancer occurrence and outcomes based on race, ethnicity, socioeconomic factors, and geographic location. Black and American Indian/Alaska Native individuals face higher cancer mortality rates, and education level and residential area also contribute to these disparities. The report emphasizes the importance of addressing social determinants of health and implementing equitable policies and interventions to reduce cancer disparities.

Summary: The Perspective Statement highlights the lack of regulatory oversight and rigorous testing of weight loss supplements in the United States, urging healthcare providers to be cautious of the lack of evidence in dietary supplements marketed for weight loss. Regulatory authorities are called upon to protect consumers by ensuring accurate and safe marketing claims and preventing promotion of unproven and potentially unsafe products and claims.

Summary: This research investigated the perception and preferences of civil society towards forest ecosystem services (FES). The study found that individuals showed a strong interest in biodiversity, aesthetic landscape quality, and psychophysical health. However, interest in provisioning services was lower. Based on individual preferences, civil society could be clustered into five groups with different FES preferences.

Summary: This study simulated long-term streamflow for the Indian-Subcontinental river basins using meteorological observations and advanced models, and verified the accuracy of the simulation results by comparing them with observed data. The study found a significant decline in streamflow in the Ganga basin, while an increase in streamflow in the semi-arid western India and Indus basin. These long-term streamflow data can be used for water resources management and climate change adaptation in the Indian sub-continent.

Summary: This study presents a quality-checked and homogenised dataset of total cloud cover (TCC) series over Italy from 1951 to 2018, and discusses the variability and trends of the regional series. The results show that convection induced by solar radiation plays a significant role, especially at medium and high elevations and in summer. The annual cycle exhibits a strong minimum in July and a maximum during winter for southern Italy, with more complex behavior and differences between low and high elevations in northern Italy. The TCC series of both seasons and years show a significant negative trend over the entire period, mainly attributed to the period from 1951 to 1990. Despite small differences between northern and southern Italy, both regions exhibit coherent behavior in long-term trends and decadal variability, indicating that the variability and trends of Italian TCC records are more related to large-scale factors rather than local-scale changes. Comparison with sea level pressure and 500 hPa geopotential height data suggests that large-scale atmospheric circulation plays a significant role in the Italian TCC records. Finally, the new TCC dataset shows that the long-term evolution of sunshine duration and surface solar radiation in Italy is only partially influenced by changes in TCC.

Summary: Two intersex individuals of Choroterpes facialis were reported in southeastern China, showing similar external morphologies but with one primarily male and the other primarily female. This is the first report of a feminized male individual. The phenomenon implies that intersexuality in mayflies may be caused by similar factors such as temperature or parasitism.

Summary: This study examined the relationships between religious resources, religious struggle, and the quality of life in long-term survivors of cancer. The results showed that religious resources were associated with better quality of life, while religious struggle was linked to poorer quality of life. The study highlights the importance of religion/spirituality in the well-being of cancer survivors.
