Summary: This study aimed to explore the predictors of condom-use behaviors among female emerging adults in South Korea. The results showed that attitudes toward condom use was a stronger predictor of condom-use behaviors than sexual double standards. This study provides insights for developing interventions tailored to this population to prevent STDs/HIV, unwanted pregnancies, abortions, and other negative consequences.

Summary: This study evaluated the contraception use, knowledge, and attitude on STI among students under Royan University of Bhutan. Results showed that students had average knowledge and a good attitude towards STI, but the contraceptive use among university students was low. Therefore, there is a need to strengthen health education on STIs in schools and universities, and make all forms of contraceptives easily available.

Summary: This study applies a three-stage slack-based data envelopment analysis (SBM-DEA) model to assess the construction safety performance (CSP) in 30 provinces and cities in China, aiming to enhance the sustainable development of construction safety in the industry. The findings reveal that the supervision environment has a greater impact on the sustainable development of construction safety than the level of socio-economic development. The regional distribution of construction safety management levels has significantly changed, with the original pattern of East > West > Central > Northeast shifting to East > Central > Northeast > West. High-efficiency values of safety performance in certain regions are influenced by external environmental (EE) pressure, while low-efficiency values cannot be solely attributed to a lack of willingness to implement safety management.

Summary: The enduring link between the annual cash bonus and safety metrics in the oil and gas industry is partly due to job market pressures and possibly supported by a self reinforcing belief system. The study shows that the current practice has limited influence on employees' safety behavior and may have adverse effects on safety outcomes.

Summary: This study found that contraception is generally used at first intercourse in Switzerland, with only 5.3% not using any contraception. Individuals in the non-use group were more likely to come from lower socioeconomic backgrounds, be foreign born, have non-intact families, and have regretted their first intercourse. On the other hand, those in the contraceptive group had higher socioeconomic status, intact families, did not live in Catholic cantons, and were older and in steady relationships during first intercourse. Efforts to improve contraception use in vulnerable social groups, such as low income families or foreign status individuals, can still be made.

Summary: The importance of ensuring access to clean drinking water is highlighted in the UN Sustainable Development Goals. A national-level assessment of tap-water safety in China reveals spatial disparities, which are influenced by natural and anthropogenic factors and have implications for public health risks. This study provides a spatial assessment of tap-water quality in mainland China and investigates the natural and anthropogenic origins of low quality and their association with public health risks. Precipitation is found to be a crucial factor driving the change in organic matter content and ionic conductivity of tap-water, especially in arid and semi-arid regions. While the concentration of disinfection by-products (DBPs) is closely related to organic matter content, the occurrence of highly toxic DBPs is more influenced by anthropogenic factors such as economic development and pollution emission. The results emphasize the potential health hazards associated with low-quality drinking water and suggest that rapidly developing countries and regions should consider adopting sustainable solutions.

Summary: This paper uses firm-level data worldwide to investigate productivity gaps between female and male-managed companies in developing and developed countries and compare the outcomes obtained for different regions in the world. The main aim is to shed some light on the debate around the existence of performance differences when females participate in managerial activities. The main results indicate that it is crucial to distinguish between female management and female ownership and the confluence between both. We find that when the firms have a top female manager and ownership is exclusively male, firms show higher average labor productivity. We argue that firms owned by males belong to male-dominated corporate culture and would only select a female manager if she is more competent than potential male candidates. These results are very heterogeneous among regions, of which South Saharan Africa, East Asia, and South Asia are driving the main results.
