Background: Consistent with the National Institute of Nursing Research's mission of leading nursing research to address current health challenges, the new Strategic Plan identifies five research lenses: health equity, social determinants of health, population and community health, prevention and health promotion, and systems and models of care. Family research, central to nursing research and practice, is the cornerstone of social ecology and represents a critical intersection of social and structural determinants of health.
Purpose: We argue why family health is essential to the 2022-2026 Strategic Plan and how the lenses can strengthen family research.
Methods: Drawing from collective expertise and existing literature in family research, sociology, psychology, and nursing science, the authors present a new conceptual model that integrates structural racism and heteropatriarchy to examine the salience of family structure statuses for family outcomes and discuss approaches to research design, empirical measurement, and interpretation in order to bring this new model into practice.
Discussion: The NINR Strategic Plan has the potential to dismantle structures that perpetuate racism and health inequity within and across family structures. An underaddressed research area under the new Strategic Plan relates to how social determinants of health influence and are influenced by families.
Conclusion: We challenge all investigators, not just family scientists, to expand the scope of their research to conceptualize the role of family on health inequities.

Bluetongue virus (BTV) and epizootic hemorrhagic disease virus (EHDV) are vector-borne orbiviruses that pose an emerging threat to livestock, including cattle and sheep. This review summarizes the global distribution, genetic diversity, and key factors driving their spread along with the existing knowledge gaps and recommendations to mitigate their impact. Both viruses cause hemorrhagic disease in susceptible ruminants and are commonly reported in tropical and subtropical regions including North America, Asia, Africa, Oceania, and some parts of Europe.

With the rapid development of IoT technology, sensors are widely used for monitoring environmental parameters. The data collected by sensors needs to be stored, and distributed storage systems provide an excellent platform to handle this vast amount of data. To enhance data reliability and reduce storage costs, erasure coding technology can be employed within distributed storage systems.

Over the past four decades, biofertilizers, which are microbial formulations based on species, have significantly contributed to sustainable agriculture by enhancing crop growth, improving soil health, and reducing the dependency on chemical fertilizers. species, particularly known for their ability to promote plant growth, fix nitrogen, solubilize phosphorus, and produce growth-promoting substances such as phytohormones and antibiotics, have emerged as key players in the development of eco-friendly agricultural solutions. This research utilizes bibliometric analysis based on 3,242 documents sourced from the Web of Science database to map the development, key contributions, and innovation within the field from 1985 to 2023.

In Europe, the prevalence of AF is expected to increase 2.5-fold over the next 50 years with a lifetime risk of 1 in 3-5 individuals after the age of 55 years and a 34% rise in AF-related strokes. The PREFATE project investigates evidence gaps in the early detection of atrial fibrillation in high-risk populations within primary care.

In response to emerging challenges that intersect humans, animals, and environments, there is growing international exigent need to adopt 'One Health' approaches. While One Health efforts are emerging in British Columbia in Canada, there are still challenges to overcome in the adoption of a One Health approach in policymaking. We conducted a comparative analysis of One Health policies in Asia, specifically, Singapore, Hong Kong, Bangladesh, and Thailand, which have well-established and sophisticated One Health approaches, to determine good practices in the implementation of One Health that could be considered for adoption in British Columbia.
