Measles outbreaks occur regularly throughout Europe, up to 31500 cases in the previous year, particularly where there are pockets of populations with lower vaccination coverage than the recommended ≥95%. Anthroposophic communities in Europe are one of several groups with relatively low vaccination coverage. In Sweden, outbreaks of measles and rubella were reported from an anthroposophic community.

Water harvesting and artificial recharge has been a traditional solution to water scarcity problems in the arid and semiarid Middle East for thousands of years. These techniques are increasingly being encouraged and at present there has been a renewed interest to find improved methods for water harvesting in many arid countries. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the performance an
Water harvesting and artificial recharge have been the main and parsimonious solution for water scarcity problems in the arid and semiarid Middle East for thousands of years. These techniques are increasingly being encouraged and at present there has been a renewed interest to find improved methods for water harvesting and artificial recharge in many arid countries. In the present study water bala
Artificial recharge (AR) is a method to balance and recover groundwater resources. AR has been the main and parsimonious solution for water scarcity problems in the arid and semiarid Middle East for thousands of years. This technique is increasingly being encouraged and at present there has been a renewed interest to find improved methods for AR in many arid countries. AR may be defined as augment
In Japan, used mobile phones are collected through several voluntary projects. In European countries, on the other hand, used mobile phones are handled together with other electronic waste in mandatory EPR systems and municipalities collect most of them as recyclable wastes. In this study, we focused on the role of producers and municipalities. We seek to conduct a comparative analysis of current
This paper argues that there is reason to be skeptical about the idea that the transition to a service economy will bring about dematerialization of production and consequent environmental improvement. This is because the shift to a service economy is an illusion in terms of real production, but is instead generated by the fall in the price of manufacturing goods relative to services, which is in
Background: Mental disorders, especially depression, have been increasingly described as a growing burden to global public health. This description is, however, not without controversy, and some scholars are skeptical of how, for instance, depression is viewed as an increasing widespread ill health problem. Discussion: While public health medicine has long engaged in strategies of disease prevent
This article explores some of the key institutional challenges hindering the development of a new ‘social’ housing cooperative model in Finland. In response to rising housing unaffordability and insecurity in the private housing sector, and a retrenching social housing sector, Finland is experiencing a resurgence of practical and political interest in housing cooperatives. Based on a document stud
As the coronavirus started to spread in Ireland, the epidemiological data became the most sought-after information in the country. This article will examine the ways in which COVID-19 redefined the intimacies of the relationships that health professionals and the members of the public have with medical data. It will focus on Irish examples and explore how the context of the pandemic turned numbers
BACKGROUND: In Sweden, as in many other countries, official monitoring of healthcare quality is mostly focused on geographical disparities in relation to a desirable benchmark. However, current evaluations could be improved by considering: (1) The intersection of other relevant axes of inequity like age, sex, income and migration status; and (2) The existence of individual heterogeneity around ave
Environmental, social and governance (ESG) investing has become a site of struggle,around which a range of actors at multiple scales and in different legal, political andfinancial spheres are mobilising. We delve into four dynamics that characterise thisquickly changing landscape and propose a set of conceptual avenues to analysethem. Gramscian political economy, legal geographies and science and

Misinformation or myths about obesity can lead to weight bias and obesity stigma. Counteracting myths with facts and evidence has been shown to be effective educational tools to increase an individuals' knowledge about a certain condition and to reduce stigma.The purpose of this study was to identify common obesity myths within the healthcare and public domains and to develop evidence-based counte
This open access book investigates human-environment relations in the context of the anthropocenic Arctic. Through an archaeological and anthropological study of landscape, it wields “weirding” – a creative mode of engagement with the world – as a means of coming to terms with the stranger, experiential dimensions of a planet populated by diverse non-human entities often bearing monstrous characte
The aim of the paper is to examine how public libraries can develop their services for children with ethnic minority backgrounds as a user group. This is achieved through studying the conditions for library services provided for children aged 9-12 in this group by public libraries in suburbs densely populated with ethnic minorities. The paper uses both a literature review and empirical research on

For decades, social scientists and activists have advocated for equal participation of citizens in decision-making about development and equitable futures. The urgency of this call has intensified with the climate emergency, pushing communities towards resilience. Yet, the concept of participation remains contested. This systematic review examines 187 articles to understand how participatory proce
Background: The response to the COVID-19 pandemic involved various lockdown measures, including school closures, which significantly impacted young populations, particularly in low-and middle-income countries (LMICs). Given the well-known protective effect of regular school attendance on sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR), reports of disrupted education, compromised SRHR, and an incr
