As global temperatures rise due to climate change, the frequency and intensity of heatwaves are increasing, posing significant threats to human health, productivity, and well-being. Thermoregulation models are important tools for quantifying the risk of extreme heat, providing insights into physiological strain indicators such as core and skin temperatures, sweat rates, and thermal comfort levels. This study evaluated four thermoregulation models of varying complexity, differentiated by the geometry and underlying thermoregulatory mechanisms.

Campaigns to scale up Voluntary Medical Male Circumcision (VMMC) for the prevention of HIV transmission has been going on for years in selected Southern African countries, following recommendations from the World Health Organisations. Despite significant strides made in the initiative and its proven benefits, controversies surrounding the strategy have never ceased, and its future remains uncertain especially as some countries near their initial targets. Over the years, as the campaigns unfolded, a lot of insights have been generated in favour of continuing the VMMC campaigns, although some insights portray the impression that the strategy is not worthy of the risks and effort required, or that enough has been done, as the targets have now been achieved.

In Ontario, collaborations between Public Health Units (PHUs) and faith-based organizations (FBOs) and other community organizations were implemented to deliver interventions aimed at building trust in vaccines among ethnoracial communities. This research sought to explore the processes of PHU engagement with FBOs, and challenges encountered. A qualitative research study based on in-depth interviews was conducted with 18 of the 34 Ontario PHUs who expressed an interest.
