Both stigma and discrimination, defined as a lack of knowledge of and a sense of discomfort in providing care to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, and + (LGBTQIA+) migrants, was found to manifest in a sample of LGBTQIA+ migrants who received nursing care in a recent study. The study concluded that nurses continue to have a limited understanding of the experiences of LGBTQIA+ migrants in the Canadian context, and that LGBTQIA+ migrants continue to have troubling 'care' experiences with nurses. Miranda Fricker has developed the concept of epistemic injustice drawing on feminist philosophy and social epistemology.

It is difficult to achieve fast kinetics of Zn(HO) desolvation as well as HER inertia at the same electrolyte/Zn interface during long-term cycling of Zn plating/stripping in aqueous Zn-ion batteries. Herein, an effective interface construction strategy with hydrophilic transition metal oxides was proposed to achieve that balance using a CeO layer coating. The hydrophilic CeO layer can bring a balance between improving the access to the anode surface for Zn(HO) electrolyte ions, providing uniform Zn nucleation sites and HER inertia.

The benefit of physical exercise is well established, but, at the same time, it is now well known that an intense sports activity can trigger adverse cardiac events and increase sport-related death. Since 1982, Italy has a State law which obliges athletes to undergo a pre-participation evaluation, based on history, physical examination, ECG and stress test. From its introduction, a significant reduction in cardiac sport-related adverse events has been shown.

Faced with the alarming rates of disappearances and murders of Indigenous women, girls and 2SLGBTQQIA+ people in Canada and in response to the demands of victims' families and Indigenous women's associations, the Canadian government set up the National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls (2016-2019). Its mandate: to identify the systemic causes of violence and produce effective recommendations to remedy them. From its announcement and during the course of its work, the inquiry faced a great deal of criticism, particularly from families and Indigenous women's associations, undermining the trust of many in the commissioners and in the process.

In clinical ethics, there remains a great deal of uncertainty regarding the appropriateness of attempting cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) for certain patients. Although the issue continues to receive ample attention and various frameworks have been proposed for navigating such cases, most discussions draw heavily on the notion of harm as a central consideration. In the following, I use emerging philosophical literature on the notion of harm to argue that the ambiguities and disagreement about harm create important and oft-overlooked challenges for the ethics of CPR.
