Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic severely impacted the air travel industry, leading to airport closures and flight cancellations. Analysis showed an increase in average distance between airports and long-range routes. The disruption was consistent with targeted and random global attacks on the air transportation network. Additionally, shifts in centrality between airports were observed during network evolution, not necessarily aligning with optimal strategies.

Summary: A growing body of literature shows that chronic exposure to fine particulate matter (PM2.5) in air pollution has a negative impact on an individual's working hours. An increase of 1 μg/m(3) in PM2.5 reduces an individual's average working hours by about 14 minutes per week. The impact is more significant for individuals with poor health, while individuals who are more environmentally aware engage in avoidance behavior. The roll-out of monitoring and information provision at the city level plays a crucial role in raising awareness and individuals' responsiveness to pollution.

Summary: Lower urinary tract symptoms attributed to benign prostatic hyperplasia (LUTS/BPH) have been steadily increasing on a global scale from 1990 to 2017, exceeding the impact of other urological diseases. When stratified by global SDI quintile, a much lower impact of BPH was found in the bottom three quintiles, despite representing a significant portion of the 2017 world population.
