Mental health issues have become a global concern due to the increasing prevalence of psychological disorders, with gender playing a significant role in shaping the dynamics of mental health. This study aims to analyze the relevance, distribution, and direction of research development on gender and mental health through a bibliometric-systematic literature review (SLR) approach using the Scopus database from 2014 to 2024. A total of 500 Scopus articles were selected and then analyzed using VOSviewer to map publication trends, keywords, and affiliations. The results show a significant increase in the number of publications since 2015, with contributions dominated by the United States, Europe, and China. Frequently emerging research themes include mental health, gender differences, depression, anxiety, resilience, and transgender. Theoretically, this study confirms that gender is a key determinant in understanding human psychological resilience and vulnerability, as well as access to mental health services. The practical implications of this study encourage gender-sensitive interventions, inclusive policymaking, and balanced global collaboration. In addition, this study identifies research gaps in developing countries and highlights the importance of implementing mental health strategies that integrate cultural, social, and spiritual factors.

Abstract The endangered Sonoran pronghorn (Antilocapra americana sonoriensis) has a large portion of its range within a military operations area in southwestern Arizona, USA. Sonoran pronghorn have been actively managed in this region for more than 20 years. Recovery efforts have included release of captive‐born pronghorn into areas both currently and historically occupied by wild pronghorn. These areas provide habitat for federally endangered essential and experimental non‐essential, referred to as 10(j), pronghorn populations. More than 20 years of monitoring efforts have resulted in a large dataset on their spatial occurrence and movement within these areas. To synthesize long‐term trends and seasonality in Sonoran pronghorn movement and mortality, we employed a suite of quantitative analyses that characterized the pronghorns' 1) individual and population‐level home ranges, 2) occurrence near active military targets, 3) trends in seasonal group sizes and composition, 4) sex‐ and group‐specific survivorship, and 5) changes in movement‐based behavior following release from captivity. We found strong seasonal trends throughout, including sex‐specific differences in seasonal movement rates, home ranges, survival, and group composition. Further, captive‐born pronghorn released into the endangered population exhibited markedly higher survival compared to those released in 10(j) areas. Captive‐born pronghorn exhibited significant seasonal use of active military target areas. These analyses, which represent the most comprehensive analysis of Sonoran pronghorn movement and survival to date, have important implications for the future conservation and management of this endangered species. Our results indicate that active management of endangered Sonoran pronghorn has successfully increased survival, and we recommend maintaining or increasing current recovery efforts, such as captive breeding and placement of supplemental resources throughout their range (e.g., freestanding water and supplemental forage), to further boost the survivorship of both wild‐ and captive‐born pronghorn. Moreover, future management efforts could use our seasonality results to create dynamic prediction models of when and where pronghorn are likely to overlap with military activities to best manage interactions. Our methods have added application to other mobile species of conservation interest occurring in disturbed and resource‐limited landscapes.

Objective: The article deals with the cultural, artistic, and historical aspects of the emergence of the Old Russian Warrior Saints cult in Kyivan Rus and their profound impact on sustainable development policies throughout the 10th to 13th centuries. Methods: Special attention is paid to the veneration of Warrior Saints in Russian culture as defenders and guardians of the Old Russian state as well as patrons of Old Russian princes. The authors analyze the hagiographic texts common in Russia over the 10th–13th centuries as sources of acts of the holy Warrior Martyrs. Results: Works of ancient Russian art depicting Warrior Saints are examined, including those on princely seals, which have a patronal nature and personify the rulers of the Old Russian state. The results of this research reveal a compelling connection between the veneration of Warrior Saints, princely unity, and the development of sustainable governance policies. Conclusion: Authors conlcude the historical significance of Old Russian Warrior Saints in the context of sustainable development policies and political cohesion during the 10th to 13th centuries in Rus. The study reveals that the veneration of saints like Boris and Gleb, characterized by their commitment to non-violence and unity, exerted a profound influence on the socio-political landscape. This research will be a valuable source for policymakers seeking to address contemporary challenges in the realm of sustainable development and peacekeeping.

Lithium compounds such as lithium hydride (L i H) and anhydrous lithium hydroxide (L i O H) have various applications in industry but are highly reactive when exposed to moisture and C O 2. These reactions create new molecular compounds that degrade applications. Environmental conditions such as temperature and moisture are examples of environmental conditions that are of interest for these reactions. To interrogate the effects of such weatherization, experiments were conducted in an environmental chamber (Plas-Labs 890-THC glove box) employing a pulsed laser and an echelle spectrograph in a novel single setup to conduct both Raman spectroscopy and laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) in tandem. These measurements in conjunction with data fusion and machine learning techniques are used to develop training and testing of environmental conditioning of Li compounds. Modeling of environmental characterizations involving lithium-based compounds enabled by the presented measurements and analytical techniques has significant implications on industrial technologies, such as batteries, and other nuclear applications.

SUMMARY Robustness of source parameter estimates is a fundamental issue in understanding the relationships between small and large events; however, it is difficult to assess how much of the variability of the source parameters can be attributed to the physical source characteristics or to the uncertainties of the methods and data used to estimate the values. In this study, we apply the coda method by Mayeda et al. using the coda calibration tool (CCT), a freely available Java-based code (https://github.com/LLNL/coda-calibration-tool) to obtain a regional calibration for Central Italy for estimating stable source parameters. We demonstrate the power of the coda technique in this region and show that it provides the same robustness in source parameter estimation as a data-driven methodology [generalized inversion technique (GIT)], but with much fewer calibration events and stations. The Central Italy region is ideal for both GIT and coda approaches as it is characterized by high-quality data, including recent well-recorded seismic sequences such as L'Aquila (2009) and Amatrice–Norcia–Visso (2016–2017). This allows us to apply data-driven methods such as GIT and coda-based methods that require few, but high-quality data. The data set for GIT analysis includes ∼5000 earthquakes and more than 600 stations, while for coda analysis we used a small subset of 39 events spanning 3.5 < Mw < 6.33 and 14 well-distributed broad-band stations. For the common calibration events, as well as an additional 247 events (∼1.7 < Mw < ∼5.0) not used in either calibration, we find excellent agreement between GIT-derived and CCT-derived source spectra. This confirms the ability of the coda approach to obtain stable source parameters even with few calibration events and stations. Even reducing the coda calibration data set by 75 per cent, we found no appreciable degradation in performance. This validation of the coda calibration approach over a broad range of event size demonstrates that this procedure, once extended to other regions, represents a powerful tool for future routine applications to homogeneously evaluate robust source parameters on a national scale. Furthermore, the coda calibration procedure can homogenize the Mw estimates for small and large events without the necessity of introducing any conversion scale between narrow-band measures such as local magnitude (ML) and Mw, which has been shown to introduce significant bias.

Radiographic comparison for identification is widely utilized. However, these methods are qualitative and subject to analyst ability to correctly read and interpret radiographs. With regards to infra-cranial radiographs, few studies have been conducted to explore the role of practitioner expertize on correct classification rates (CCRs). Here, we undertake two such studies using forensic anthropologists [American Board of Forensic Anthropology (ABFA) certified, practicing but not board-certified anthropologists, and chest radiograph comparison (CXR) anthropologists trained via the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency CXR competency training program] and compare their results to novices. To ensure participants only referred to the same skeletal morphology, we cropped radiographs to single bones. An array of four simulated antemortem radiographs was presented to each assessor with each postmortem radiograph. Assessors evaluated arrays for a correct match, which was always present, yielding a 25% rate for random correct selections. Study 1 used anteroposterior C7, posteroanterior second metacarpal, and lateral calcaneus radiographs (three arrays each for nine arrays total), which yielded 86, 81, 69, and 68% mean CCRs for CXR experts, ABFA anthropologists, non-ABFA anthropologists and novices, respectively. Study 2 used anteroposterior C7 and left clavicles (three arrays each for six arrays total), yielding mean CCRs of 100, 96, and 84% for CXR experts, ABFA anthropologists and novices, respectively. As reflected by the CCRs, expertise is clearly a factor for radiographic comparisons, evident not just between novices and anthropologists, but also between anthropologists. We recommend all radiographic comparison analysts be subject to competency/proficiency tests prior to their engagement for forensic casework.
