ABSTRACT Through significant contributions to our understanding of risk factors, prognostic indicators and management of well-differentiated thyroid cancer (WDTC), Prof Jatin Shah has contributed much to the field of thyroid cancer in recent times. Many of the guidelines used in WDTC management today are a testament to his less-aggressive, dedicated and individualised approach. This article seeks to both review the current understanding of WDTC and to outline these contributions in a special issue dedicated to the career of Prof Shah.

Systemic Risk Factors

Purpose Before providing an overview of the conference with the above title and this Special Issue, this paper aims to present a view of the meaning of systemic risk, factors that affect systemic risk and measures of systemic risk. Thereafter, the conference presentations and the papers in this issue are summarized. Design/methodology/approach Characteristics and measures of systemic risk are reviewed. Conference papers and presentations are summarized. Findings While some aspects of systemic risk of a financial institution can be measured, an important aspect associated with contagion through markets is not easily captured by simple measures. Originality/value The conference and the papers in this issue contribute to the policy debate about sources and characteristics of systemic risk.

The Relationship

This article reviews the state of the art of qualitative research on femicide, which, until the publication of this Special Issue, has been extremely sparse. The paper mentions some of the limitations of the qualitative approach, such as time consumption, ethical liabilities, and non-generalizability. However, it advocates qualitative research because of its advantages in capturing the context, describing the experience, identifying the motives, highlighting the relationship between perpetrator and victim, identifying the risk factors, and suggesting apt policies. The article concludes by cautiously recommending a mixed-/merged-methods approach, which, in turn, depends upon the research question and has its own inherent disadvantages.

Nutritional Interventions

Arterial hypertension (AH) is considered to be one of the most relevant cardiovascular risk factors, and its wide prevalence in all age ranges makes it necessary to analyse all the possible causes and treatments. In this special issue, nutritional interventions are examined either as causes or as treatments of AH. [...]

Abstract This article introduces a special issue in Translational Behavioral Medicine that focuses on translational aspects of food insecurity research. The purpose of this special issue was to add to the evidence base to inform short- and intermediate-term intervention development and implementation and to spark additional future discourse around these important topics. The special issue included 12 articles and 2 commentaries roughly evenly split across four topic areas, including subpopulation food insecurity risk factors; food behaviors and psychosocial variables; implementation and/or evaluation of food insecurity interventions; and food insecurity-related measurement issues. The articles in this special issue offer a number of contributions to the translational literature specific to food insecurity. They add to our understanding that depression, stress, and social isolation (sometimes related to language barriers) may play a large role in individuals’ food insecurity experience. The articles explored the differences between food insecure and food secure households in relation to food and grocery shopping behaviors, and nutritional self-efficacy. In addition, authors described the implementation and/or efficacy of interventions meant to promote healthful diets and food access among food insecure populations. And finally, several studies explored current measurement issues such as intra-household subjectivity, disconnect between perceived and objective measures of food access, and a need for more holistic and nutrition-focused measurement approaches. While there are deeper systemic factors driving food insecurity, the findings provided in this special issue can help guide those addressing the current challenges faced by food insecure households that struggle to achieve healthful diets.
