Summary: We examined the sun-protection practices of 61 men attending a dermatology department in the west of Ireland. Most worked outdoors and wore hats as a sun-protection measure, but the majority wore baseball caps, which do not offer protection to the head and neck. Use of SPF products was widespread, but not habitual.

Summary: A UV-protective patch has been developed to provide a healing environment for patients with increased sensitivity to UV light. It is made from two-phase glycerol-silicone adhesives, which help in wound care. By adding glycerol and long gradient silicone prepolymers, the adhesives show improved sun protection properties.

Summary: This study evaluated the effect of lignosulfonate addition to increase the quality and SPF value of tengkawang butter. The addition of Ca, Mg, and Na-lignosulfonate reduced the acidity and peroxide number of tengkawang butter, while significantly increasing the SPF value. This research provides valuable insights for developing sunscreen formulations with natural activating agents to protect the skin from UV rays.

Summary: Topical sunscreen application is crucial to protect human skin from sun damaging effects. Recent research has focused on understanding the effects of longer wavelength radiation and developing effective and safe filters for these types of radiation. New technologies, such as reducing calorific radiation and improving skin penetration, have been explored. Additionally, natural sources, including plant products and fungal and bacterial melanin, are being investigated for potential use in sunscreen.

Summary: This paper investigates the dynamic aspects of the Service Restoration process in distributed systems, focusing on the impact of island operation on protective device performance and load reconnection. Test results suggest that disregarding the transient behavior of distributed generators may result in infeasible Service Restoration plans. A new set of constraints is proposed to address the Service Restoration problem by combining practical dynamic and static aspects.

Summary: This paper provides an overview of skin cancer risk and the complex behavioral options for sun protection, along with a narrative review of research on determinants of, and interventions to promote, sun protection. The effectiveness of sunscreen use, UV protection clothing, and shade seeking is supported, but these behaviors are often inadequate for sun protection.

Summary: Mass surveillance systems for voice over IP pose a significant threat to privacy. This study presents an adversarial-learning-based framework for privacy protection in VoIP conversations, utilizing a universal adversarial perturbation to prevent automatic topic detection by eavesdroppers. Experimental results demonstrate the feasibility of this approach in real-world scenarios.

Summary: This article focuses on Thomas H. Teague's recount of Richard Carrington's sunspot observations, revealing that Carrington's group counting method is close to modern counting methods while his method for counting individual spots lags behind. Comparison studies with contemporary observations and Zurich Observatory journals confirm the quality and robustness of the new recount.

Summary: The rates of non-melanoma skin cancer are increasing in the United States. A study investigated the differences in skin cancer preventive behaviors among sun-sensitive individuals of different racial and ethnic groups. The study found that non-Hispanic whites were more likely to use sunscreen and undergo full body skin examination, while other racial and ethnic groups were more likely to practice sun avoidance and wear sun-protective clothing. Overall, there was an increase in sunscreen use and a decrease in indoor tanning among all racial and ethnic groups.

Summary: Sun exposure in Australia has both negative and positive effects. It is a major cause of skin cancer, but also promotes vitamin D production. However, despite high levels of UV radiation, a significant portion of the population is vitamin D deficient. Balancing the risks and benefits requires effective communication.

Summary: Electrical distribution companies invest in modernization, especially operation automation, to achieve fast power restoration during fault events. This study proposes a methodology for short-circuit fault detection, isolation, and restoration using neighbor feeders, optimizing the protection devices' parameters with a genetic algorithm for efficient coordination and selectivity.

Summary: The study found that sunburn frequency in children was high, with most parents reporting fair sun protection behaviors. High levels of planned sun exposure seemed to be associated with higher sunburn risk, and younger children with more sensitive skin tended to take sun protection measures more frequently.
