Background: Student-run health initiatives in the community setting have been utilized to provide practical experience for undergraduate students to develop professional competencies, gain exposure to diverse populations, and to engage in activities of social accountability. There is much literature on student-run health initiatives; however, there is no consensus on a definition of this concept or a comprehensive synthesis of the literature that describes student-run health initiatives offered by students in pre-licensure healthcare education programs. Purpose: To provide a concept analysis of, and propose a definition for, student-run health initiatives that provide community-based services for students during pre-licensure health discipline education. Methods: A systematic literature search and review process was used to identify and synthesize peer-reviewed articles from 7 academic databases covering a range of pre-licensure health disciplines and education. Walker and Avant’s framework for concept analysis was used to guide exploration of attributes, antecedents and consequences of student-run initiatives, and to inform development of a definition for this concept. Results: The review yielded 222 articles for data extraction and represented 17 distinct pre-licensure health disciplines, 18 health-related disciplines, and a range of other baccalaureate and graduate programs. Our analysis revealed 16 definitions, 5 attributes, 6 antecedents, and consequences identified for student-run health initiatives. Attributes were Provision of Service, Service is Free, Target Clientele, Volunteerism, and Student Governance. Antecedents included Purpose/Rationale, Affiliation with Academic Unit, Location and Partnerships, Funding and Resources, Professional Oversight, and Preparation for Student Role. Consequences were improved access to services and outcomes for clients; competency development, personal gains and interprofessional learning for students; and positive outcomes for broader systems, such as decrease of service utilization and cost/benefit. Conclusions: There was no clear conceptual definition for student-run health initiatives, but many defining characteristics and well-described exemplars in the literature. Given the variations in purpose and scope of these initiatives, particularly to distinguish degree of students’ roles in operations and the involvement of academic institutions, we propose 3 distinct conceptual definitions: student-run, student-led, and student-infused health initiatives.

“…Based on the study of the annual and special reports of the Commissioner, one can judge the state of work to ensure the environmental rights of citizens. In 2020, the Commissioner received 44,087 complaints from citizens [15]. Of these, 274 appeals were made on issues related to the legislation on environmental protection (see Table 1).…”

In this article, the author examines the organization of the activities of the national ombudsman (Human Rights Commissioner in the Russian Federation) to ensure human rights in the field of ecology, conducts a structural analysis of the received applications from citizens on environmental issues, and also makes a number of proposals to improve the activities of the ombudsman. Based on the results of the study, the main topics of citizens’ appeals regarding violations of the rules for the environment use and abuse of environmental human rights submitted to the Commissioner for Human Rights in the Russian Federation were identified. The identification of borderline points by the national ombudsman requires attention in the field of environmental protection of citizens and giving them a public discussion, allows to focus the attention of society and the state on the most problematic aspects of ensuring human rights in the field of ecology, which helps the responsible state authorities to build their work more effectively in this direction, since the state of nature, environment and the ecological situation ultimately affect the development of both individual citizens and society and the state as a whole.

“…HEIs are taking a range of actions such as conducting research into more efficient technologies to reduce emissions and environmental harm of systems and processes (Shields, 2019;Sibbel, 2009); incorporating topics of environmental sustainability in their curricula (Lozano et al, 2015;Adomssent & Michelsen, 2006); and agreeing to and performing comprehensive sustainability audit initiatives (Findler et al, 2019). Many HEIs are also engaging with issues of environmental sustainability and climate change in multidisciplinary ways not limited to environmental science programs (Androff et al, 2017;Sibbel, 2009) and making commitments to reductions and activities to improve environmental sustainability of institutional activities (Calder & Clugstone, 2003;Wright, 2004;Berkowitz & Delacour, 2020).…”

Examining the hypermobility of many “elite” academic workers, this article situates mobility within the context of higher education and sustainability, decoloniality, and institutionalized expectations for academic travel. The mobility of HEI workers is described in relation to Anthropogenic climate change (ACC), which highlights the need for: (a) critical examination of and responses to the carbon footprint of academic workers; (b) exerting pressure to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) production associated with expected mobility; and (c) deliberate changes to professional mobility approaches that take into account issues of equity vis-à-vis knowledge production, the effects of ACC, and GHG production from academic air travel. We offer an instrument—in the form of queries—to provide starting points for individual deliberations and collective actions to begin addressing these three issue areas.
