Background: Food insecurity on college campuses is a pressing issue, yet the ways in which students manage challenges and disruptions to their food security status (FSS) are poorly understood.

Objectives: The objective of this study was to examine knowledge of food insecurity as a concept, evaluate FSS, identify food acquisition-related behaviors, and determine whether these behaviors differ among FSS.

Methods: University students at increased risk of experiencing food insecurity ( = 43) were recruited for this mixed-methods study.

Abnormal pathology including breast cancer can be incidentally found in reduction mammaplasty specimens, but there is no consensus on risk factors or detection rates. This study aimed to elucidate the incidence of malignant and high-risk pathology findings in patients undergoing breast reduction in a Canadian context.

The structural, electrical, and optical properties of a series of six layered oxychalcogenides with the general formula Sr OCu, where M = Ga, Sc, or In and = S or Se, have been investigated. From this set, we report the structure and properties of SrGaOCuSe for the first time, as well as the full structural details of SrScOCuSe, which have not previously been available. A systematic study of the suitability of all of the Sr OCu phases as -type conductors has been carried out, after doping with both sodium and potassium to a nominal composition of Sr OCu, ( = Na or K), to increase the hole carrier concentration.
