Alders are widely distributed riparian trees in Europe, North Africa and Western Asia. Recently, a strong reduction of alder stands has been detected in Europe due to infection by species (Stramenopila kingdom). This infection causes a disease known as alder dieback, characterized by leaf yellowing, dieback of branches, increased fruit production, and bark necrosis in the collar and basal part of the stem.

This paper estimates associations of parent-reported neighbourhood and adolescent-reported home environments with SB among adolescents aged 11-19 years from 14 countries.
Methods: In the International Physical activity and the Environment Network (IPEN) Adolescent Study (an observational, cross-sectional multi-country study), adolescents wore a triaxial accelerometer for seven days that assessed sedentary time (ST).
Objectives: To systematically evaluate definitions of "racial health equity" (RHE) and related terms within health-related academic literature.
Study Design And Setting: We systematically evaluated definitions of RHE and related terms within health-related academic articles. Articles published in English were included, and no date restrictions were imposed.
Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to find evidence syntheses of health interventions that focus on racial health equity, examining the use of equity-focused frameworks and logic models.
- - Researchers conducted a search across multiple sources, including bibliographic databases and interviews, to identify effective frameworks, finding only two out of 153 reviews used logic models to explain interventions.
- - The results indicated a scarcity of logic models and frameworks in these studies, highlighting an urgent need for more comprehensive frameworks to better guide the research and interpretation of findings in racial health equity.
