TL;DR: In this article, the authors synthesize the results of studies that examined how the greenspace and health relationship varies by urbanicity and found that more urban areas had stronger associations for cardiovascular-related, birth, and mortality outcomes and for greenspace measured within 500 meters.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined whether green space shows stronger associations with physical health for disadvantaged groups than for privileged groups and found that lower-SES people show more beneficial effects than affluent people, particularly when concerning public green spaces/parks rather than green land covers/greenness.
Abstract: Disadvantaged groups worldwide, such as low-income and racially/ethnically minoritized people, experience worse health outcomes than more privileged groups, including wealthier and white people. Such health disparities are a major public health issue in several countries around the world. In this systematic review, we examine whether green space shows stronger associations with physical health for disadvantaged groups than for privileged groups. We hypothesize that disadvantaged groups have stronger protective effects from green space because of their greater dependency on proximate green space, as they tend to lack access to other health-promoting resources. We use the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses (PRISMA) method and search five databases (CINAHL, Cochrane, PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science) to look for articles that examine whether socioeconomic status (SES) or race/ethnicity modify the green space-health associations. Based on this search, we identify 90 articles meeting our inclusion criteria. We find lower-SES people show more beneficial effects than affluent people, particularly when concerning public green spaces/parks rather than green land covers/greenness. Studies in Europe show stronger protective effects for lower-SES people versus higher-SES people than do studies in North America. We find no notable differences in the protective effects of green space between racial/ethnic groups. Collectively, these results suggest green space might be a tool to advance health equity and provide ways forward for urban planners, parks managers, and public health professionals to address health disparities.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors explored how fighters learn about, use, and rationalize the use of performance-enhancing drugs (PED) along with cultural aspects of the sport that may influence use.
Abstract: In the last few decades, mixed martial arts (MMA) has grown to become a mainstream sport, broadcasted worldwide. The increased commercialization, structure, and physical requirements of the sport arguably make the use of performance-enhancing drugs (PED) attractive to MMA fighters. In contrast, cultural aspects within MMA and diverse expressions of masculinity may temper PED use. Yet, the sport has received little empirical inquiry. This exploratory study sought to understand MMA fighters’ experience and exposure to PED and sport supplements. Specifically, how fighters learn about, use, and rationalize the use of these substances was explored, along with cultural aspects of the sport that may influence use. Furthermore, given the rapid rise of this sport, generational differences between veterans and early-career fighters were examined. Seventeen semi-structured interviews with professional MMA fighters were conducted and analyzed using a two-cycle coding method. The presentation of results was organized into four categories: learning and conversing, supplement and PED use, rationalization of use, and MMA contextual factors. Multiple misconceptions existed and the use of both supplements and performance-enhancing substances followed similar justifications linked to recovery, performance enhancement, and deficiency correction. Marijuana emerged as a debated performance-enhancing substance. Experimentation was common and knowledge acquisition strategies differed based on career stage and standing within the fighting and doping community. Fighters acknowledged the pressure to dope. However, cultural aspects of the sport and a purity perspective provide deterrents to both supplement and PED use. The implications of these findings, along with recommendations for future research are discussed.

TL;DR: For instance, this paper reported that 6.5% of the participants in the interview were women, and only 1% of those were engaged in any kind of work with men.
Abstract: 연구 목적: 이 연구는 6호 처분 대상 소년들에 대한 인권현황을 생존권 등 권리로 구분하여 분석하고 권리보장을 위한 제도의 개선방안을 제시하는 것이다. 연구 방법: 심층면접법(in-depth interview)을 사용하였으며 자료수집을 위해 6호 처분시설에 종사하는 시설종사자 43명을 대상으로 심층면접을 실시하였다. 연구 내용: 생존권에서는 전문인력 배치와 상담시스템 마련, 재범방지를 위한 교육프로그램 개발, 보호권에서는 보호, 치료, 선도 등 목적에 맞는 시설의 분리 운영과 징계제도의 개선, 소년들의 맞춤형 프로그램 제공을 위한 인력 충원, 발달권에서는 다양한 교육프로그램 마련과 특성화 교육의 확대, 치료와 교육목적의 달성에 부합한 외출제도 개선, 아동의 권리를 침해하는 서신검열 금지, 참여권에서는 종교활동의 자유보장과 CCTV운영 및 관리의 개선, 진정권을 적극보장하는 방안과 인권교육의 의무화를 위한 법 개정 등을 개선방안으로 제시하였다. 결론 및 제언: 연구결과를 통해 첫째, 치료와 교육 기능을 수행할 수 있는 전문시설 전환을 위한 예산과 인력 확보 및 법 개정, 둘째, 청소년 권리보장을 위한 맞춤형 프로그램 개발, 셋째, 소년들의 권리보장을 위한 정책적인 홍보 강화 등을 제시하였다. 향후 형사사법종사자, 처분 소년 등을 면접대상에 포함시켜 인권문제 개선을 위한 다양한 정책을 모색해야 할 것이다.

TL;DR: There is extensive empirical literature on the association between exposure to nature and health as mentioned in this paper, and the strength of evidence from recent experimental and observational studies on nature exposure and health, highlighting research on children and youth where possible.
Abstract: There is extensive empirical literature on the association between exposure to nature and health. In this narrative review, we discuss the strength of evidence from recent (i.e., the last decade) experimental and observational studies on nature exposure and health, highlighting research on children and youth where possible. We found evidence for associations between nature exposure and improved cognitive function, brain activity, blood pressure, mental health, physical activity, and sleep. Results from experimental studies provide evidence of protective effects of exposure to natural environments on mental health outcomes and cognitive function. Cross-sectional observational studies provide evidence of positive associations between nature exposure and increased levels of physical activity and decreased risk of cardiovascular disease, and longitudinal observational studies are beginning to assess long-term effects of nature exposure on depression, anxiety, cognitive function, and chronic disease. Limitations of current knowledge include inconsistent measures of exposure to nature, the impacts of the type and quality of green space, and health effects of duration and frequency of exposure. Future directions include incorporation of more rigorous study designs, investigation of the underlying mechanisms of the association between green space and health, advancement of exposure assessment, and evaluation of sensitive periods in the early life-course.
