Summary: This article highlights the dominance of men in forest research and professional workforces, particularly in senior and management positions. It identifies historical and ongoing barriers to gender inclusion and proposes potential solutions. The article showcases women in forestry from diverse disciplines and regions, emphasizing the research being conducted by women in forests. Greater gender equity in forest disciplines requires a variety of approaches at local, regional, and global scales. Additionally, intersectional analyses need to be included when identifying barriers for women in forestry.

Summary: Education is a crucial aspect of an individual's life, and lack of access to educational services can have negative impacts on children's well-being and reinforce social inequalities. This study develops a conceptual framework to measure accessibility for educational services and evaluates spatial and social equity from urban and transportation planning perspectives. The findings suggest that policy measures can be taken to address existing inequities and maximize the benefits of education services. This research is important for planners and policymakers to prioritize measures for improving access to educational services and addressing spatial and social inequities.

Summary: Robust and efficient processes are required to establish scientific confidence in new approach methodologies (NAMs), which need to be fit for purpose, reliable, and provide information relevant to human biology. Independent review and transparent communication are also necessary. This paper proposes a framework consisting of five essential elements to establish scientific confidence in NAMs for regulatory use.

Summary: The decline in ecosystem services in the Arid and Semi-Arid Northern Region of China has been worsened by inefficient and inequitable natural resource use. This study examines the natural capital stock and outflow in the region from 2000 to 2020 and assesses equity using the Gini coefficient and coefficient of variation. The findings show an increasing appropriation of natural capital and a significant impact of urbanization on natural capital stock.

Summary: It is necessary to increase health equity in sexual and gender diverse (SGD) populations. To better understand and address the issue, we have developed a conceptual framework that incorporates the concepts of stigma, intersectionality, identity affirmation, and life course trajectory. Using this framework, we have proposed recommendations to promote health equity through nursing research, health care practice, health care education, and public health care policy. These recommendations align with the need to dismantle structures that perpetuate racism and impede health inequity and to implement interventions that address social determinants of health.

Summary: This article discusses the role of psychologists in addressing social determinants of health and health equity among approximately 20 million children in immigrant families. Psychologists can advocate for changes in institutional systems, promote resources and services, and address the challenges faced by immigrant families. They can also lead prevention efforts, change systems, expand workforce development, identify mechanisms contributing to health inequity, and advocate for resources at different levels of government. Strengthening relationships between academic and professional institutions and policymakers is crucial to increase psychologists' impact.

Summary: Due to global climate change, severe rainstorms have increasingly led to urban waterlogging disasters in many Chinese cities. Nature-based solutions (NbS) have gained widespread attention as they provide new ideas and approaches for addressing these issues. This article reviews the development and concept of NbS, analyzes its core ideas and principles, and explores its role in urban waterlogging management. It also compares NbS with other waterlogging concepts and proposes a comprehensive framework for the application of NbS in urban waterlogging management. Additionally, the article analyzes the opportunities and potential of NbS in addressing urban environmental issues.

Summary: The study analyzed data from 238 caregivers seeking emergency care for children aged <= 10 years old. Results showed that caregivers who reported more hassles with Child Safety Seats were more likely to report nonadherent child passenger safety behaviors according to AAP guidelines. Increased number of reported hassles was associated with inconsistent use of size-appropriate CSS and sometimes traveling without restraint.
