Scenario and policy assessments in socioeconomic and environmental studies face significant challenges in socio-ecological systems (SES). There are a limited number of studies that have looked at the impact of different scenarios within integrated approaches, and many have used a static approach with a single driver of change. The present work analyzes the SES dynamics for a strategic basin in the Colombian Andes when implementing and analyzing scenarios and policies related to land cover and land use change using a system dynamics simulation model. The model includes natural, ecosystem services, sociocultural, and economic components. Scenarios and policy options are analyzed both individually and jointly to identify synergies or trade-off effects between the different SES components. The results showed the different trajectories of the socio-ecological system according to the cases studied, and its impact on different variables in the analyzed components. Some counterintuitive effects were also identified, such as the importance of intrinsic motivations in decision-making processes, and determinants in land management and policy design.

Article Synopsis
- * Data from 900 incarcerated women with opioid use disorder were analyzed to identify individual, interpersonal, and community-level factors that help reduce the likelihood of high-risk behaviors.
- * Results reveal key protective factors at multiple levels—such as age, relationship dynamics, and treatment experiences—that can inform targeted prevention strategies for different stages of substance use.
Barriers and Facilitators of Early Palliative Care in the Trajectory of People Living with Chronic Condition: A Mini Review Using Socio-ecological Framework to Inform Public Health Strategy.

The increasing incidence of chronic conditions on a global scale requires a comprehensive approach to palliative care, which is recognized as an essential element of the continuum of care for people with life-threatening conditions. It has been argued that the integration of early palliative care for people with chronic conditions is beneficial. Nevertheless, barriers to integrating early palliative care have been extensively not reviewed.

Unlabelled: Play is thought to serve different purposes at different times during ontogeny. The nature and frequency of play are expected to change accordingly over the developmental trajectory and with socio-ecological context. Orangutans offer the opportunity to disentangle the ontogenetic trajectories of solitary and social play with their extended immature phase, and socio-ecological variation among populations and species.

A significant challenge in the integration of ecosystem services into decision-making processes lies in effectively capturing the dynamics of marine socio-ecological systems, including their evolutionary pathways, equilibrium states, and tipping points. This paper explores the evolutionary trajectories of a vital marine ecosystem endemic to the Mediterranean Sea: the Posidonia oceanica seagrass meadows, in response to various drivers of change. A state-and-transition model is employed to assess the ecosystem services provided by P.

Article Synopsis
- - This study investigates the factors affecting social participation in older adults, focusing on differences between older women and men, highlighting the importance of inclusive health promotion strategies.
- - A systematic review of 49 studies revealed key themes impacting social activities, such as sociodemographic factors, personal assets, and societal norms, showing that older women face more documented needs and preferences than men.
- - The conclusion emphasizes the necessity for community care providers and healthcare professionals to develop gender-specific and neutral social activities, advocating for collaboration among various stakeholders to enhance social engagement for older adults.
