Background: Improving nutrition for all requires understanding how interventions influence nutrition inequalities within society. Intersectionality, which considers how multiple disadvantages intersect, may offer more precise insight into the equity of these interventions. Objectives: Using an intersectionality-informed approach and mediation with exposure–mediator interaction, we investigated how participation in nutrition-sensitive agriculture interventions tested in the UPAVAN trial affected inequalities in women's diets in Odisha, India.

Diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEIB) have implications for transplant access and outcomes. Inequities in transplantation have been identified over the years for minoritized groups based on race, ethnicity, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability status, and other sociocultural identities. While DEIB initiatives have demonstrated success in improving transplant outcomes for some minoritized groups, many gaps still exist, and additional work is needed. Concerns about these practices have also been raised, and they may create barriers to achieving DEIB goals.

Textbooks can play a formative role in shaping young students' perceptions of societal norms, including gender roles, as they serve as a primary source of knowledge and cultural values. Existing literature on Pakistani textbooks has focused mainly on middle and secondary levels, leaving the elementary context underexplored, specifically after curriculum reforms in 2020. We addressed that gap by applying Fairclough's Critical Discourse Analysis to recently reformed English language textbooks for grades 1–5, published by the Sindh Textbook Board, Pakistan.

The article underscores the vital role of traditional country foods in supporting the health of Nunavik Inuit, as these foods are primary sources of important antioxidants like ergothioneine and selenoneine. The markedly higher levels of these compounds among Nunavimmiut�especially among women, elders, and frequent country food consumers�demonstrate the nutritional and cultural significance of maintaining access to wild foods. The findings advocate for the protection and promotion of traditional food systems to preserve both health benefits and Indigenous food sovereignty, while also calling for further research into the health impacts of these unique dietary antioxidants in Indigenous and non-Indigenous populations alike.
