Introduction: The increased burden of climate-sensitive infectious diseases (CSIDs) within the circumpolar region, one of the many impacts of climate change, is impacting human, animal and ecosystem health. An integrated One Health approach to surveillance of CSIDs has been promoted by the scientific community as a prerequisite to enhance preparedness and response. Up to now, little is known about how the One Health approach has been implemented in surveillance systems for CSIDs in the Arctic and surrounding regions.

Participants were from the Spring 2019 administration of the American College Health Association's National College Health Assessment-II. Multinomial logistic regression models and negative binomial regression models with and without interaction terms were used to explore if gender and sexual identity are related to academic performance, and if they are differentially related to academic performance when experiencing polyvictimization.

- Individuals in the criminal justice system are at a higher risk for repeated intimate partner violence (IPV), and understanding the factors that contribute to this can aid in early intervention.
- The study examined the relationship between psychopathy traits and IPV victimisation in a group of 1354 adolescent offenders, using a longitudinal approach to gather data over multiple waves.
- Results indicated that higher psychopathy scores, particularly in antisocial behavior and interpersonal manipulation, are linked to increased risks of recurring IPV victimisation, with notable sex differences influencing these outcomes in young adults.
Article Synopsis
- A cross-sectional study in Québec and British Columbia examined the prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 in cats from households with confirmed human cases, involving swab and serum sample collection from 55 cats.
- Of the tested cats, 9 showed positive viral RNA and 38 showed positive antibodies, with no specific risks tied to the presence of antibodies.
- Cats with detectable viral RNA exhibited clinical signs, primarily sneezing, more frequently than those without viral RNA, highlighting the importance of monitoring feline health in relation to human COVID-19 cases.
Recent research has shown that transgender and gender non-conforming (TGNC) individuals are at risk of experiencing interpersonal violence, yet there may be differences within this group and across victimization types. The current study examined rates of seven types of interpersonal victimization based on six gender identities (cisgender women, cisgender men, trans women, trans men, nonbinary, and another identity) among a national study of college students. Data from the Spring 2021 American College Health Association's National College Health Assessment III (ACHA-NCHA III), a national-level study of U.
