We outline the design, international virtual collaboration, for an undergraduate course to develop students' global citizenship competencies. International virtual collaboration works as an open-source instrument that provides an inclusive, equitable and low environmental impact solution to the internationalization of university students at home. We explain an iterative Participatory Action Research methodology to develop and enhance the present and anticipated positive societal impact of the course. The positive societal impacts include reduced environmental impact (by reduced need to travel), improved partnerships (by better understanding of cultural differences that may make working together across borders difficult), quality education (by improved educational design and approach), equality and diversity (by improved access, lower cost, for education that develops global citizenship competencies).</p></div>","PeriodicalId":101167,"journal":{"name":"Societal Impacts","volume":"1 1","pages":"Article 100012"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2949697723000127/pdfft?md5=a6a4b75ad87ec08d75fbd41fbaceb1e8&pid=1-s2.0-S2949697723000127-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138435862","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Rising economic uncertainty is considered in the literature as one of the driving forces behind the postponement of childbearing and the reduction in fertility rates in contemporary Europe. Understanding whether employment instability causally and negatively impacts fertility decisions is of fundamental importance to providing clear recommendations to policymakers. To the best of our knowledge, the only study applying a counterfactual approach to the impact of temporary employment on parenthood is an article by Vignoli et al. [11]. The present study replicates such a paper utilizing more recent data for Italy (2016, instead of 2009), thus covering a period encompassing the Great Recession. We adopt the potential outcome approach to causal inference so as to quantify the net effect of having a first job with a temporary vs. permanent contract on the propensity to first-child conception. Our findings confirm a clear-cut causal effect of temporary employment on first-birth postponement. Largely overlapping previous results, we demonstrate how precarious work has become a structural factor discouraging the transition to parenthood among young Italians.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":101167,"journal":{"name":"Societal Impacts","volume":"1 1","pages":"Article 100021"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2949697723000218/pdfft?md5=fb4aa79eb2adf1fd757e90b8af767559&pid=1-s2.0-S2949697723000218-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138453541","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, for many Native Hawaiians, the Indigenous people of Hawaiʻi, the desire to continue to reside in their homelands has become impossible. Native Hawaiians have lower socio-economic status, home ownership, and educational attainment compared to non-Hawaiians. Simultaneously, Native Hawaiians have higher rates of chronic disease, asthma, and mental health issues, which impact their quality of life. Despite efforts to address these stubborn problems, the gap between the Indigenous Native Hawaiian community and those that settled these islands continue to exist. Native Hawaiian scholars have attributed these persistent challenges to the historical trauma that the community has experienced and continues to experience stemming from the mass trauma events of colonization. Although the community acknowledges the heavy impact that historical trauma has had on Native Hawaiians, many policymakers and individuals in position of authority have expressed a need for evidence of this concept. This project seeks to develop a scale to measure Native Hawaiian historical trauma to support evaluation and advocacy efforts. Moreover, healing Native Hawaiian historical trauma would facilitate increased economic mobility, improved environmental policies, and an enriched social advancement.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":101167,"journal":{"name":"Societal Impacts","volume":"1 1","pages":"Article 100020"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2949697723000206/pdfft?md5=682bb0fc5bfff3dc3af95fc32cecf6f2&pid=1-s2.0-S2949697723000206-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136697215","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Regulations have been imposed in some jurisdictions to attempt to address potential harms. Two recent policy studies assessed companies’ compliance (but more often, non-compliance) with those regulations. The first study found that a supposed ‘ban’ on loot boxes in Belgium was not enforced so the product remained widely accessible. A preprint reporting this was widely publicised by the media. This enhanced awareness led to companies newly complying with the law and helped policymakers to view the practicality of banning loot boxes with more due scepticism. Researchers should consider actively sharing non-peer-reviewed preprint results to protect consumers more promptly. The second study found that, contrary to regulations, many games with loot boxes were not labelled. Subsequent engagement with the media and the industry self-regulators caused remedial actions to be taken: unlabelled games have since been correctly labelled, and non-compliant companies have been punished with (albeit insignificant) fines. The societal impacts of loot box policy studies demonstrate the importance of actively communicating research results to the public through media engagement and challenging companies and regulators when they are not complying with or enforcing regulations.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":101167,"journal":{"name":"Societal Impacts","volume":"1 1","pages":"Article 100018"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2949697723000188/pdfft?md5=1156b38f92e908b03961240acfcf92cc&pid=1-s2.0-S2949697723000188-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134656757","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper explores quizzes as a strategy to test food packaging disposal knowledge and encourage engagement in UK consumers of varying ages. Three hundred and eleven consumers (4–85 years) completed the food packaging symbols and disposal quizzes at various community-based events. In summary, quiz performance was encouraging; however, it was associated with various knowledge gaps such as symbols (tidyman and green dot) and disposal (cleaning and mixed materials). Positively, nearly 90 % of consumers are interested in modulating future food packaging disposal behaviour; hence, capitalising on such findings is key going forwards. Therefore, the use of quizzes was an effective strategy to engage consumers with appropriate disposal in community settings. Future work should focus on ensuring consumers have access to relevant information coupled with improved recycling infrastructure so that households can easily implement everyday sustainable food packaging behaviour.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":101167,"journal":{"name":"Societal Impacts","volume":"1 1","pages":"Article 100017"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2949697723000176/pdfft?md5=5cfeedf81bab840ebdabf5a3a77b9504&pid=1-s2.0-S2949697723000176-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134832872","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, increased industrial use of nanomaterials raised concerns whether nanomaterial exposure could pose occupational health risks similar to asbestos. In 2012, the National Research Centre for the Working Environment (NFA) established the ‘Danish Centre for Nanosafety’ with the aim to provide evidence-based knowledge for policy advice on occupational handling of nanomaterials. Relevant stakeholders including the Danish Working Environment Authority (WEA), the Danish Environment Protection Agency, and the social partners were engaged. The project achieved societal impact in various ways: NFA produced documentation for health-based occupational exposure limits for three engineered nanomaterials and diesel exhaust nanoparticles at the request of WEA. Denmark adopted a national occupational exposure limit for diesel particles in 2021. WEA made a guidance document on safe handling of nanomaterials. The Working Environment Council published fact sheets based on knowledge from NFA aimed at both nanomaterial providers and enterprises using nanomaterials. A revised law made it compulsory to register the presence of nanomaterials in products in the Danish Product Registry. Finally, the Danish Centre for Nanosafety supported development of a free, web-based control-banding tool for occupational risk assessment and -management of nanomaterials (NanoSafer.org).</p></div>","PeriodicalId":101167,"journal":{"name":"Societal Impacts","volume":"1 1","pages":"Article 100016"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2949697723000164/pdfft?md5=efd9db236b0f7c9f8e4f37aaf01c1292&pid=1-s2.0-S2949697723000164-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134656758","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
