Summary: This study found that organic farming has a positive impact on the behavior of passerine birds compared to conventional farming, regardless of species. These findings suggest that observing the behavior of passerine birds can provide valuable insights into the state of the environment and serve as an early warning for specific environmental changes in agricultural areas.

Summary: The pursuit of a healthy and comfortable living environment is an important objective for human society. Therapeutic landscapes play a significant role in improving environmental conditions. However, current research on community therapeutic landscapes is lacking coordination between theoretical and practical development. Future research should focus on specialized research and the development of public services for social health.

Summary: This paper explores the perceptions and imaginations of nature among older people and how they create therapeutic landscapes through seasonal migration. The study focuses on the Houniao population, retirees from northern China who travel to a tropical city in pursuit of healthy lifestyles. The findings reveal that the Houniao rediscover the healing power of nature through seasonal mobility and changes in health. Their understanding of and relationship with nature are influenced by medical science as well as myths and magic. The Houniao reproduce and utilize the spatio-temporality of therapeutic landscapes to negotiate healthy lifestyles during their regular movements and multi-site living.

Summary: This study found that older Chinese people's consumer values are shaped by their social and cultural backgrounds, and commercial activities contribute to their sense of health by providing therapeutic health products and enjoyable shopping experiences. However, the contradiction between consumer demands and healing sense may pose a significant risk to sustainable therapeutic consumption spaces.

Summary: This paper presents a theoretical agenda for Cultural Landscapes of Care, emphasizing the role of culture in understanding and exploring care. It outlines a research agenda that re-engages culture with the relationship between place and care, highlighting spatialities of care, ethics, and justice. The term "cultural landscapes of care" is coined to promote a contextually and culturally sensitive agenda that seeks to understand good care in diverse trans-local contexts.

Summary: This paper examines the therapeutic landscape characteristics of urban blue spaces and finds that interacting with these spaces can have positive impacts on health. Further research is needed to better understand the relationship between urban blue spaces and health, as well as how to best develop and manage these spaces to improve the health outcomes of local populations.

Summary: Many farmers are now using intelligent robots to aid in labor-intensive harvesting tasks, addressing labor shortages caused by the pandemic. While these robots boost agricultural efficiency, they also pose security risks which, if exploited, could result in significant financial and operational impacts.

Summary: The study demonstrates that pesticide use and different components of landscape complexity have complex and interactive effects on various taxonomic groups. Preserving different components of landscape complexity is necessary to protect multiple taxonomic groups. Increasing landscape complexity is beneficial for restoring biodiversity in intensively-managed fields.

Summary: This article reviews the effects of therapeutic landscapes on different stakeholders in psychiatric care facilities. The study found that the physical, social, and symbolic dimensions of therapeutic landscapes have a positive impact on health and recovery. However, due to the heterogeneity of the data and limitations in methodological quality, the results should be interpreted with caution, and further quantitative studies are needed.

Summary: The symbolic dimensions of doors in the experiences of Greek mental health nurses working in open and locked spaces are explored in this study. Open doors and permeable spaces build trust and a sense of safety, while locked doors symbolize loss of control and social isolation. The impact of COVID-19 restrictions on space control and the act of leaving doors open or locked are important considerations for both staff and service users.

Summary: The study investigates the seasonal variations in aphid and parasitoid populations in grain crops, finding that wheat field edges can act as reservoirs for aphids and parasitoids while canola field edges do not. The dominant parasitoid species differ between wheat and canola fields, with potential implications for aphid pest control.

Summary: This paper examines the division between rewilding and the knowledge and practices of upland sheep farmers in the Cambrian Mountains. It argues for the importance of embodied and gendered knowledge developed through engagement with the land, and highlights how rewilding poses a challenge to farming identities. The author emphasizes the significance of situated knowledge and suggests that Rewilding Britain's failure in the area stems from a lack of appreciation for this type of knowledge.

Summary: This paper examines the key roles that publics play in the development of genome editing techniques applied to animals in biomedical research. These roles include stakeholders who influence research technologies, contributors to research projects through biobanks, and patients who participate in research governance. These diverse public roles do not easily align into a singular public opinion on genome editing.

Summary: The development and mainstreaming of clinical genomics services have the potential to profoundly change the experiences of families affected by rare genetic conditions. Using "participatory-writing" as a method, this article explores the diverse everyday lives of these families and how they relate to the complex field of genomic medicine. Participatory-writing has benefits in social inquiry, allowing for personal expression and insight, creating new conversations and relationships, and prompting professional change. The stories produced through this method illuminate the impact of genomic technologies and the wider contexts of life with rare genetic conditions.

Summary: This qualitative study explores the effects of human-animal relationships on care farms, particularly in the context of trauma histories. The results show that sharing narratives of trauma with animals and witnessing their rehabilitation and resilience can help individuals integrate their own grief. Additionally, caring for animals provides a mechanism for compassionate practice. The findings suggest that animals with trauma histories may offer unexpected psychological benefits to humans facing grief and trauma.
