However, not addressed by C&C is that the bottleneck may interact with who is doing the learning: While some languages are mostly learned by infants, others have a large share of adult learners. We argue that such socio-demographic differences extend and qualify C&C's thesis.

Introduction: Limited systematic assessments of risk factor contributions to the global burden of type 2 diabetes (T2D) across subpopulations hinder targeted policies and resource allocation.
Materials And Methods: Utilizing the Global Burden of Disease study (GBD) 2019, we analyzed the disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) for T2D attributable to 15 risk factors in adults (aged 25+ years) globally and by sex, age, Socio-demographic Index (SDI), and GBD region, from 1990 to 2019. Additionally, we assessed future trends of these risk factors through 2050.

Understanding effects of extreme heat across diverse settings is critical as social determinants play an important role in modifying heat-related risks. We apply a multi-scale analysis to understand spatial variation in the effects of heat across Mexico and explore factors that are explaining heterogeneity. Daily all-cause mortality was collected from the Mexican Secretary of Health and municipality-specific extreme heat events were estimated using population-weighted temperatures from 1998 to 2019 using Daymet and WorldPop datasets.
