Summary: Children are more exposed to higher levels of air pollution when traveling to and from school, especially along busy main roads. Utilizing a citizen science approach to data collection not only encouraged children's participation and adherence to study protocols, but also raised awareness of air pollution among them, prompting positive behavior changes to reduce exposure.

Summary: The lack of diversity in STEM is a significant issue, and the underrepresentation of historically marginalised groups in teaching materials may be a barrier for students aspiring to pursue STEM careers. Providing accessible and evidence-based approaches for educators is crucial in addressing this issue. This study examines the potential for humanising presentation slides in lectures to highlight the diversity of scientists. The findings suggest that such design can positively impact students' perceptions about diversity in science.

Summary: The aim of this study was to explore the dimensions of internalized weight stigma (IWS) in people with excess weight (EW), using both in-depth interviews and the WBIS-2F questionnaire. The findings revealed seven themes, including devaluation of competencies, self-blame, bodily devaluation, ambivalence, anticipated stigma, coping strategies, and mental well-being. The results indicated that participants scored low on weight-related self-devaluation and high on weight-related distress. In addition, novel aspects of IWS, particularly bodily devaluation, were also identified. Further research is needed to examine and validate these additional dimensions of IWS.

Summary: This article examines interactions between scientists and the online community Reddit, finding that male scientists are typically more popular in online spaces than female scientists. However, the study shows that both male and female scientists receive a similar number of comments and the complexity of the comments does not differ by gender during Reddit AMA sessions, suggesting that Reddit might be an effective platform for both genders to engage with the public.

Summary: This paper examines how failed stakeholder inclusion during a crisis can result in distrust of platform organizations, using Airbnb's response to the COVID-19 pandemic as a case study. The qualitative analysis reveals a disconnect between what the platform leaders said and what they actually did in their crisis response, leading to distrust and selective disengagement from stakeholders. Drawing on the concept of inattentional blindness from psychology, the paper offers a metaphorical explanation for why platform organizations fail to include stakeholders during times of crisis.

Summary: This article introduces a collection of papers on women, gender, and chemistry in eighteenth- and twentieth-century Europe and the United States. It briefly surveys previous research on women and gender in science and outlines the long history of women in chemistry. The article presents the main findings of this special issue, including the identities and strategies of women engaged in chemical activities and the enabling circumstances and networks that helped these women gain entry into male-dominated institutions and fields of study. It suggests that these themes are equally relevant to different time periods, illustrating the benefits of jointly treating seemingly unrelated cases.

Summary: This critical examination of gendered hierarchies and relationships among university students in North West England reveals how male participants are more likely to use 'free speech' discourses to legitimize online harassment against transgender individuals and cis-females. The study uncovers emerging forms of dominant masculinity that appropriate and reconfigure discursive practices of non-hegemonic gender identities to reproduce and conceal patriarchal power systems in digital spaces. Further research is suggested to explore the relationship between these practices, alt-right influencers, men's rights activists, and digital hegemonic masculinities at UK university campuses.

Summary: Pain assessment and management in patients with disorders of consciousness (DOC) is crucial for detecting consciousness and promoting recovery. This review discusses the role of pain in consciousness, challenges in pain assessment, pharmacological treatment, and the implications of pain assessment in detecting changes in consciousness. The Nociception Coma Scale and its revised version, as well as the controversies surrounding pharmacological pain treatment, are also explored. Additionally, recent evidence suggests that accurate pain assessment can predict changes in the level of consciousness in unresponsive wakefulness syndrome/vegetative state patients, emphasizing the importance of ongoing pain management.

Summary: This article examines the willingness of university professors in a biological sciences institute of a public university in Brazil to adopt the term 'scientist' as a form of self-designation. The study finds that most professors prefer not to call themselves a 'scientist' and instead choose the title of university professor. However, they acknowledge the potential impacts of this attitude on public perception of science and technology.

Summary: This study investigates how paradoxical leader behavior promotes employee voice behavior through perceived insider status and organization-based self-esteem as mediators, and how this relationship is influenced by proactive personality as a moderator. The results show that paradoxical leader behavior positively relates to perceived insider status and organization-based self-esteem, which in turn positively influences employee voice behavior. Furthermore, the impact of paradoxical leader behavior is stronger for employees with low proactive personality.

Summary: This study explores effective ways to promote event attendees' intention to recycle through green messages, finding that upcycling messages generated more positive reactions towards recycling, especially when gain-framed. The joint effect between PTS levels and message framing varies by anthropomorphism levels. The perceived tangibility of recycling benefits is identified as a full mediator between green messages and attendees' attitude and intention towards recycling.
