Background Up-to-date evidence about levels and trends in disease and injury incidence, prevalence, and years lived with disability (YLDs) is an essential input into global, regional, and national health policies. In the Global Burden of Disease Study 2013 (GBD 2013), we estimated these quantities f...

In 2010, the international community, under the auspices of the Convention on Biological Diversity, agreed on 20 biodiversity-related "Aichi Targets" to be achieved within a decade. We provide a comprehensive mid-term assessment of progress toward these global targets using 55 indicator data sets. W...

BACKGROUND: The 'Prehospital Assessment of the Role of Adrenaline: Measuring the Effectiveness of Drug Administration In Cardiac Arrest' (PARAMEDIC2) trial showed that adrenaline improves overall survival, but not neurological outcomes. We sought to determine the within-trial and lifetime health and...

Abstract In this work, we present the results of searches for signatures of dark matter decay or annihilation into Standard Model particles, and secret neutrino interactions with dark matter. Neutrinos could be produced in the decay or annihilation of galactic or extragalactic dark matter. Additiona...

BACKGROUND: Low rates of contraceptive continuation in Bangladesh are a symptom of poor quality family planning (FP) counseling. Improving family planning counseling by the country's community health care workers (CHWs) could improve contraceptive continuation. This study explores client experiences...

Abstract The Surface Enhancement of the IceTop air-shower array will include the addition of radio antennas and scintillator panels, co-located with the existing ice-Cherenkov tanks and covering an area of about 1 km 2 . Together, these will increase the sensitivity of the IceCube Neutrino Observato...

The next generation of the IceCube Neutrino Observatory, IceCube-Gen2, will constitute a much larger detector, increasing the rate of high-energy neutrinos. IceCube-Gen2 will address the long-standing questions about astrophysical accelerators. The experiment will also include a surface air-shower d...

Abstract Since the discovery of a flux of high-energy astrophysical neutrinos, searches for their origins have focused primarily at TeV-PeV energies. Compared to sub-TeV searches, high-energy searches benefit from an increase in the neutrino cross section, improved angular resolution on the neutrino...

Abstract European colonialism altered the connections between First Peoples, local communities, and groundwater systems across the world. In many countries, the practice of hydrogeology remains intertwined with the economic agendas of colonial settler communities, making colonialism a useful lens th...

Job satisfaction has been a significant issue worldwide. Dissatisfied employees cannot devote their full attention to their work. Despite making up 84.4% of Bangladesh's total exports, the RMG business is home to some of the country's most dissatisfied workers. Consequently, this sector is essential...

<h3>Objectives</h3> Vitamin B-12 deficiency is common in many low- and low-middle-income countries. Vegetarian dietary practices often contribute to this high prevalence. Several observational studies have documented the association of B-12 deficiency in pregnancy with poor neurodevelopment amongst ...
