This article explores what "care" looks like in the specific context of Muslim refugees and asylum seekers within the dominant discourse of humanitarianism. India and Australia are chosen for this comparative analysis because our aim is to emphasise multidimensional anti-Muslim alliances that are now in place in both contexts between the governments and official and unofficial media that influence humanitarian policies and practice. We argue that the "information disorder" that dominates current media ecologies about Muslim refugees in both countries is produced at this nexus of official agents-both state and media institutions-as well as social media content produced by local and global actors that perpetuate anti-Muslim bias.

The interrelationality of health and peace is complex, multifactorial, and imbued with political and economic challenges. Peace and health outcomes reflect shared fundamental values related to the achievement of a balanced holistic condition on the individual and collective level. This causal relationship between social inequity and health requires special attention be paid to the impact of political instability and structural violence on undermining health systems in conflict zones.

Our world is ever evolving and interconnected, creating constant opportunities for disease outbreaks and pandemics to occur, making pandemic preparedness and pathogen management crucial for global health security. Early pathogen identification and intervention play a key role in mitigating the impacts of disease outbreaks. In this perspective, we present the Viral Trait Assessment for Pandemics (ViTAP) model to aid in the early identification of high-risk viruses that have pandemic potential, which incorporates lessons from past pandemics, including which key viral characteristics are important such as genetic makeup, transmission modes, mutation rates, and symptom severity.

Biomass was the principal energy source in preindustrial societies; their agriculture provided more energy than it required. Thus, the energy return on energy investment (EROEI) needed to be >1. Recent studies have indicated that this may not be the case for modern industrialized agrifood systems (AFSs).

In healthcare, vast amounts of data are increasingly collected through sensors for smart health applications and patient monitoring or diagnosis. However, such medical data often comprise sensitive patient information, posing challenges regarding data privacy, and are resource-intensive to acquire for significant research purposes. In addition, the common case of lack of information due to technical issues, transcript errors, or differences between descriptors considered in different health centers leads to the need for data imputation and partial data generation techniques.
