Identifying the barriers and facilitators to culturally responsive HIV and PrEP screening for racial, ethnic, sexual, and gender minoritized patients: A scoping review protocol. by Julia Xavier, Maranda C Ward, Patrick G Corr, Nikhil Kalita, Paige McDonald

“…<h4>Introduction</h4>While mainstream messaging about human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) disparities continues to highlight individual risk-taking behavior among historically marginalized groups, including racial, ethnic, sexual, and gender minoritized patients, the effect of structural factors and social determinants of health (SDOH) on morbidity and mortality remain underestimated. Systemic barriers, including a failure of adequate and acceptable screening, play a significant role in the disparate rates of disease. …”

Optimizing composite ecological networks through Synergistic risk Management, ecological Conservation, and recreational Integration: A case study of Beijing’s shallow mountain regi... by Lei Cao, Kaiping Wang, Xinyao Zhao, Yunlu Zhang

“…Key findings include: (1) The study identified 49 ecological source sites and 43 recreational source sites, along with 105 ecological corridors and 80 recreational corridors; (2) This research selected 54 ecological pinch points, 137 intersections between ecological and recreational corridors, and 283 alternative composite source points combining ecological and recreational resources; (3) This paper selected 140 composite source points and the construction of 128 composite corridors, 161 potential corridors, 371.82 km2 of risk prevention area, and 468.74 km2 of ecological protection area; (4) Network analysis revealed that the composite ecological network demonstrated superior closure, complexity, and connectivity compared to traditional methods; (5) This study proposed an optimization strategy for ecological spatial networks, based on the “patch-corridor-substrate” theory of landscape ecology, emphasizing 3 levels: ecological restoration, ecological protection, and the development of recreational systems. The multifunctional composite ecological network constructed in this study effectively mitigates ecological risks, enhances ecosystem services functions, and promotes the balanced integration of ecological conservation and sustainable economic activities, such as ecotourism and cultural heritage utilization. …”
