Pareto in Prison.

The Pareto principle is based on the concept that roughly 80% of outcomes are generated by 20% of inputs, efforts, or contributors within a group. Using a national sample of U.S.

Mason bees and honey bees synergistically enhance fruit set in sweet cherry orchards.

Mason bees ( spp.) are efficient fruit tree pollinators that can be encouraged to occupy and breed in artificial nesting material. In sweet cherry orchards, they are occasionally used as an alternative managed pollinator as a replacement for or in addition to honey bees ().

A micro-randomized pilot study to examine the impact of just-in-time nudging on after-dinner snacking in adults with type 2 diabetes: A study protocol.

Aim: To determine whether a digital nudge soon after dinner reduces after-dinner snacking events as measured objectively by continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D).

Methods: This is a single-site micro-randomized trial (MRT). People with T2D, aged 18-75 years, managed with diet or a stable dose of oral antidiabetic medications for at least 3 months, and who habitual snack after dinner at least 3 nights per week, will be recruited.

Determining Dietary Patterns to Recommend for Type 2 Diabetes: An Umbrella Review.

Some specific dietary patterns improve glycaemic levels and cardiovascular risk factors better than others. We aimed to identify the most effective dietary patterns using a food-focused approach to improve blood glucose management (primary outcome) and cardiovascular risk factors (secondary outcome) in people with type 2 diabetes. An umbrella review was conducted comparing dietary patterns for the management of these outcomes.

Characterizing screening strategies for type 2 diabetes in high-risk ethnic communities: a scoping review protocol.

Objective: This review aims to identify the characteristics of screening strategies for type 2 diabetes to determine the most pragmatic approach to improve relevance to high-risk community groups from ethnically diverse backgrounds.

Introduction: Type 2 diabetes is increasingly contributing to the global burden of disease and is more common in some community groups. Although screening underpins the success of primary prevention programs for type 2 diabetes, screening of high-risk community groups from ethnically diverse backgrounds require different screening protocols and can be challenging.
