Summary: Research on the relationship between sleep duration and obesity in women is limited. This study aimed to explore the association between sleep duration and BMI, WHR, PBF, and VFA in females. The results showed that short sleep was associated with increased odds of general obesity, while long sleep was associated with increased odds of visceral obesity.

Summary: The study found that prior day sleep duration and physical activity levels can interact to predict the cortisol awakening response (CAR) the following morning, with short sleep duration and high levels of physical activity resulting in an augmented CAR. The effects of sleep and physical activity on CAR demonstrate an interactive effect.

Summary: The study shows that winter outdoor physical activity has positive effects on somatic parameters, body composition, and motor performance of adult men. Participants involved in regular physical activity during winter season experienced a decrease in body fat mass, waist circumference, and abdominal obesity indicators, as well as an increase in skeletal muscle mass. They also showed improvements in flexibility, upper limb movement speed, hand and forearm muscle grip strength, lower torso strength, and cardiorespiratory endurance.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the association between sleep disorders and outdoor artificial light exposure in children. The findings revealed that children living in areas with high levels of outdoor artificial light are more likely to experience sleep disorders, particularly among those younger than 12 years old. The results suggest that effective control of outdoor artificial light may be crucial for improving children's sleep quality.

Summary: The study found that physical activity levels in young university students are associated with sleep quality, waist circumference, and blood pressure. Some students engage in moderate to vigorous physical exercise, but the average sleep quality is low. Waist circumference has significant relationships with body mass index, blood pressure, and there is a need to encourage regular and sustainable participation in physical activity among this population.

Summary: During the 21-day Dry Immersion (DI), sleep architecture was significantly disturbed on the 3rd day, but returned to baseline values after the 10th day. An increase in REM duration on the 19th day and in recovery was accompanied by changes in nighttime heart rate and blood pressure parameters, suggesting regulatory changes in the cardiovascular system in response to environmental changes.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the sleep patterns of hospital nurses and determine the influence of rotating day and night shifts and lifestyle factors on their sleep efficiency. Results showed that nurses working rotating shifts had poorer sleep quality, particularly those working 3 or 4 consecutive night shifts, with shorter total sleep time, longer sleep latency, and lower sleep efficiency. The study found that rotating shifts and alcohol consumption significantly influenced sleep efficiency.

Summary: This study aimed to determine the diurnal changes in cognitive and anxiety-like behaviors in mice following chronic sleep restriction (SR), and to investigate the relationship between these phenotypic differences and the diurnal variation of glymphatic clearance mediated by aquaporin4 (AQP4). The results showed that SR mice exhibited cognitive impairment and anxiety-like behaviors during the day, but not at night. Furthermore, AQP4 polarity and glymphatic transport ability were higher during the day, with lower levels of beta-amyloid and tau protein in the frontal cortex. These day-night differences were disrupted after SR, suggesting a potential circadian control of AQP4-mediated glymphatic clearance of toxic macromolecules from the brain.

Summary: Urbanization causes changes in the landscape and leads to the generation of heat islands, with varying characteristics and intensities due to factors such as land use, climate, and meteorological conditions. This research compares and analyzes atmospheric and surface heat islands in Presidente Prudente, Brazil and Rennes, France, showing that different urban environments have different impacts on the formation and dynamics of heat islands.

Summary: This study examined the relationship between the sleep of parents and their children using objective sleep assessments. The findings showed a high concordance in sleep/wake states between parents and children, and indicated that sleep disturbances in children were associated with poorer sleep outcomes for both the parent and child.

Summary: This paper highlights potential gaps in the treatment of uncertainty when using Bayesian networks for environmental risk assessment and proposes a consistent framework for treating epistemic uncertainty to help close these gaps. It emphasizes the importance of differentiating between aleatory and epistemic uncertainty and communicating both direct and indirect uncertainties in ERA. Probabilities, intervals, or scenarios are expressions of direct epistemic uncertainty, and the type of Bayesian network determines the treatment of parameter uncertainty.

Summary: Bayesian decision analysis is a useful method for risk management decisions, but has limitations in considering severe uncertainty in knowledge and value ambiguity in management objectives. Robust Bayesian decision analysis can handle these issues by modeling severe uncertainty and value ambiguity through bounds on probability distributions and utility functions. A case study on environmental management problem in Sweden demonstrates that robust Bayesian decision analysis provides a transparent methodology for integrating information in risk management where data is limited and tradeoffs are ambiguous.

Summary: In a series of online surveys between March and October 2020, the willingness to receive a COVID-19 vaccine was studied in relation to sex, trust in experts, and worry about the virus. Results showed that female participants were less willing to accept the vaccine, while trust in medical and scientific experts, as well as worry about the virus, were the strongest correlates of vaccine acceptance.

Summary: Trade-offs between pesticide use, pollinators and yield in pollinator-dependent, mass-flowering crops may cause conflicts between conservation and agronomic goals. This study proposes a framework to explore these trade-offs, using red clover as an example. The results indicate that the insecticide thiacloprid can increase seed yield without negative effects on the key pollinator, Bombus terrestris, and the presence of red clover benefits pollinator populations.

Summary: This study developed a spatially and temporally explicit theoretical model to evaluate the impact of system changes and within-season variability in resources on wild bee population sizes and crop visitation rates. The model captures the importance of food resource availability at the colony and landscape level for bee populations and crop visitation rates, as well as the potential threats of climate and land use changes to bee populations.

Summary: Robust Bayesian analysis, based on a set of priors, enables estimation of parameters and quantification of uncertainty using bounded probability. This paper proposes an iterative importance sampling method for robust Bayesian inference relying on Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) sampling, and derives a new expression to account for correlation in the MCMC samples. The method is applied to estimate the lower bound of the overall effect in a meta-analysis and compared to a grid search method under different levels of prior-data conflict.

Summary: The commentary discusses the importance of evidence-based uncertainty analysis in Europe, focusing on EFSA's ongoing development in this area. It welcomes the discussion on improving uncertainty treatment and communication in risk analysis, emphasizing the need to distinguish different types of communication and facilitate, rather than diminish, uncertainty description and communication between risk assessors and decision-makers. The authors also appreciate EFSA's efforts in guiding scientific experts and risk assessors in uncertainty analysis based on a modern and scientific view.
