Aim
Sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) is a clear harm for individual and family health, as well as for society at large. A feminist public health should ensure that services meet women's self-identified needs, with an inclusive definition of woman-kind and an understanding of the intersectional nature of the disadvantage that forced migrant women face.
Methods
Semi-structured interviews with 166 forced migrants who have suffered SGBV and 107 providers of services to forced migrants in Australia, Sweden, Turkey and the UK, were undertaken as part of wider project. After translation and transcription, thematic analysis sought all mentions of feminism, descriptions of services along feminist lines and evaluations of the feminist-nature of services.
Result
Services were said to be hard to approach much of the time and did not always focus on forced migrants' assessments of their own needs. Those services that did attend to migrants' own expression of their needs were said to be helpful in the recovery process. Interviews with service providers indicated that, while feminism was regularly a personal philosophy, it less often informed service design and delivery. A tension between individual empowerment and a collective assertion of women's rights is part of the contested understanding of feminism, with an intersectional criticism of secular, individualist assumptions of a wholly rights-based approach. The co-opting of women's rights to pursue a securitization agenda indicates tensions between different versions of feminism.
Conclusion
The failure to design and deliver services that facilitate forced migrants' recovery from SGBV represents an ongoing failure to understand, apply and test the insights of decades of feminism.

This article focuses on access to abortion in Ireland post-12 weeks gestational age. It critically examines abortion access under the legislative sections 9, 10 and 11 of the Health (Regulation of Termination of Pregnancy) Act 2018, the Multi-Disciplinary Team (MDT) process, as well as the appeals process in place. We highlight existing ambiguities in diagnosing and certifying cases of risk to health during pregnancy, particularly mental health, as well as the challenges in diagnosing and certifying cases of fatal fetal abnormality (FFA). The article incorporates service users' experiences in obtaining abortion in Ireland post-12 weeks, particularly in cases of FFA, and includes recommendations for policy and legislative change.

Anatomy is the study of structure of human body. Dissection of human cadavers has always been an integral part of study of anatomy as well as research in it. Till now the only source for cadavers for dissection purposes were unclaimed bodies. Today the need for bodies for medical education has increased and most medical schools are experiencing difficulties in procuring the requisite number of cadavers. Body donation programs may help fulfil this need of the medical schools. The present study was an attempt to analyze the attitude of the anatomists towards different aspects of body donation. 24.7% of the participants stated that they have insufficient cadavers, 12.3% claimed surplus cadavers while 62.8% claimed sufficient cadavers. 26% of the anatomists were unaware of the necessity for a death certificate and 35% were unaware of the necessity for a unique identification document for carrying out body donation.

The foreseen large-scale growth of offshore wind energy towards 2050 in pursuit of an energy transition obliges scholars and policymakers to start considering its integration in the wider offshore energy system. Both technological innovations and advances in spatial policy are necessary to facilitate offshore system integration. This study draws from agenda-setting theory to explore barriers and opportunities affecting the prioritization processes surrounding three offshore energy storage and transport concepts in Dutch marine spatial planning practice. The findings demonstrate that although various arenas for agenda-setting exist, they are geared to the input of established stakeholders, including the oil and gas and offshore wind sectors. Also, prioritization is hindered by a short-term (2030) governmental fixation and long-term institutional ambiguity. Therefore, supportive institutions are needed, providing regulatory certainty and reliable incentive mechanisms, whilst remaining adaptive to address imminent uncertainties, in pursuit of system integration needed for an energy transition.

Background
Following the national implementation of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) in 2014, barriers still exist that limit the adoption of substance use treatment (SUT) services in mainstream health care (MHC) settings in the United States. This study provides an overview of current evidence on barriers and facilitators to integrating various SUT services into MHC.
Methods
A systematic search was conducted with the following databases: “PubMed including MEDLINE”, “CINAHL”, “Web of Science”, “ABI/Inform”, and “PsycINFO.” We identified barriers and/or facilitators affecting patients, providers, and programs/systems.
Results
Of the 540 identified citations, 36 were included. Main barriers were identified for patients (socio-demographics, finances, confidentiality, legal impact, and disinterest), providers (limited training, lack of time, patient satisfaction concerns, legal implications, lack of access to resources or evidence-based information, and lack of legal/regulatory clarity), and programs/systems (lack of leadership support, lack of staff, limited financial resources, lack of referral networks, lack of space, and lack of state-level support). Also, we recognized key facilitators pertaining to patients (trust for providers, education, and shared decision making), providers (expert supervision, use of support team, training with programs like Extension for Community Health Outcomes (ECHO), and receptivity), and programs/systems (leadership support, collaboration with external agencies, and policies e.g., those expanding the addiction workforce, improving insurance access and treatment access).
Conclusions
This study identified several factors influencing the integration of SUT services in MHC. Strategies for improving SUT integration in MHC should address barriers and leverage facilitators related to patients, providers, and programs/systems.

Across several power systems with market frameworks, policy-makers are proposing that balancing flexibility requirements emerging during energy transition be addressed through new reserve product markets. However, these may introduce additional costs, constraints and complexity, and even encroach upon the functions of existing operational practices. Thus, policy-makers need to assess and compare flexibility design options, and quantifying system flexibility capabilities based on current and expected resource mixes can assist in achieving this. In this article, we offer a practical method to quantify the time-varying spectrum of upwards and downwards flexibility capabilities in systems, and subsequently apply it to historical and projected resource mixes in two regions of the Australian National Electricity Market. Our results suggest that with higher penetrations of renewable energy: (1) downwards flexibility margins can be exhausted around noon if wind and solar are unable or unwilling to provide it, (2) upwards flexibility becomes more scarce during morning and evening peak demand events and (3) a greater portion of upwards flexibility is provided by energy-limited resources. Given these trends, we recommend that policy-makers examine how existing operational practices can be augmented to elicit upwards flexibility provision, and that duration specifications and sustained footroom procurement be considered for reserve products.

Assessing the status or exploited marine fish populations often relies on fishery dependent catch and effort data reported by licensed commercial fishers in compliance with regulations and by recreational anglers voluntarily. This invariably leads to bias towards the fraction of a fish population or community that can be legally fished i.e., the stock as defined by legal minimum lengths and spatial boundaries. Data are restricted to populations which continue to be exploited at the expense of obtaining data on previously exploited and unexploited populations [1,2], so if a fishery is contracting spatially over time, then successively less of the overall fish community is monitored with bias towards where biomass is highest or most accessible [3]. A viable alternative is to conduct population monitoring surveys independently of a fishery to obtain information that is more broadly representative of the abundance, composition and size structure of fish communities and their supporting habitats [4–6]. Whereas catch and effort data often must be de-identified and aggregated to protect the confidentiality of fishers’ commercial and personal interests, this constraint does not exist for independently acquired monitoring data, collected at public expense and hence publicly available at high levels of spatial and temporal resolution. Time series underpins the utility of fishery independent survey (FIS) datasets in terms of the life histories of exploited fish species and the time frames of their responses to various combinations of fishing mortality and environmental fluctuations and trends [7].
One-off surveys can establish a baseline and spatial distribution pattern, but regular surveys conducted consistently over time are necessary to detect trends from which population status can be inferred. We present several unique datasets focused on the commercially valuable blacklip abalone (Haliotis rubra), spanning three decades of annually collected data from up to 204 locations on subtidal rocky reefs along a coastline of almost 2500 km, the State of Victoria, Australia. It is rare for data to be collected consistently at this intensity over such a long period of monitoring [2], especially with surveys conducted by small teams of highly skilled research divers, some of whom up until recently had participated in every year.
The data comprises ∼28,000 records from ∼4500 site surveys conducted during 1992 to 2021 [2]. Although the fixed site design remained unchanged, the number of sites surveyed varied over time, mostly increasing in number periodically, and the survey method was refined on several occasions. We defined three different variants in the survey method due to technological advancement for both enumerating abalone abundance and measuring shell size structure [7]. The relative abundance counts were standardized using a Bayesian generalized linear mixed model (GLMM) to test for interannual trends whilst allowing for inherent differences among sites, research divers, and their interactions [8].

In this paper we implement a long-term multi-sectoral energy planning model to evaluate the role of green hydrogen in the energy mix of Chile, a country with a high renewable potential, under stringent emission reduction objectives in 2050. Our results show that green hydrogen is a cost-effective and environmentally friendly route especially for hard-to-abate sectors, such as interprovincial and freight transport. They also suggest a strong synergy of hydrogen with electricity generation from renewable sources. Our numerical simulations show that Chile should (i) start immediately to develop hydrogen production through electrolyzers all along the country, (ii) keep investing in wind and solar generation capacities ensuring a low cost hydrogen production and reinforce the power transmission grid to allow nodal hydrogen production, (iii) foster the use of electric mobility for cars and local buses and of hydrogen for long-haul trucks and interprovincial buses and, (iv) develop seasonal hydrogen storage and hydrogen cells to be exploited for electricity supply, especially for the most stringent emission reduction objectives.

"This study examines the meaning of ""mampu"" or ""ability"" in Article 5 Paragraph 1 letter (b) of Law No. 1/1974 on Marriage, which serves as a requirement for a husband to practice polygamy in Indonesia. Through a normative legal research method with a statutory approach, the study finds that ""mampu"" refers to the husband's ability to provide for the needs of his wives and children, including clothing, shelter, and food, based on his income and monthly expenses during his previous marriage. The research emphasizes that ""mampu"" is a prerequisite for husbands to practice polygamy, ensuring that they can fulfill the needs of all their wives and children while providing legal protection for their first wife and children.
Highlights:
Study analyzes criteria for polygamy in Indonesia.
Husband's ability to provide for family is a key factor.
Legal research and deductive methods used for analysis."
