Background International migrants can experience food insecurity throughout their migratory trajectory in a context of exacerbated inequities. Food insecurity and migration are both social determinants of mental health, however, no scoping review has been conducted with a specific focus on the topic at a global level. Aim To identify and synthesize the available evidence on food insecurity and mental health among international migrants published between 2013 and 2023. Methods The scoping review was conducted according to guidelines by the JBI. Scientific databases (Web of Science, PubMed, Medline, APA PsycArticles, Cinahl, ASSIA) and Google Scholar were searched (2013-Nov. 2023). A descriptive characterisation and thematic synthesis of the evidence were conducted. Results Seventy-one publications were identified. The evidence is mostly recent, quantitative, from the Global North, and part of broader, rather than specific, studies. Food insecurity is linked to mental health issues among international migrants, with qualitative evidence suggesting it exacerbates mental health problems, though quantitative studies do not establish causality or direction. Four mechanisms were identified to explain these associations. Conclusions Future research on the topic should analyse broader mechanisms of exclusion, cultural aspects of food insecurity, and the impact of some coping strategies on mental health.

This dataset is a supplementary material of the Chapter 3 Study I of the thesis titled ‘Predictor of Fluorosis: Total Fluoride Intake or Subsequent Fluoride Absorption?’. Tables encompass data gathered through the Iowa Fluoride Study (IFS), specifically 3-day food diaries. Data from the 3-day food diaries was transcribed for 91 participants with/without dental fluorosis on permanent teeth at 6 weeks, 3, 6, 12, 24, and 36 months of age. This was then joint with fluoride concentrations found for each individual product using both the UK and the US fluoride databases (Table 1 - Table 24). For each individual product, the frequency of intake and overall fluoride intake were calculated and used to identify those food products with the highest frequency of consumption/highest fluoride intake (Table 25 - Table 42). Necessary ethical approvals were obtained for this study. No personally identifiable information is included in the dataset.

This dataset pertains to a cross-sectional investigation encompassing 129 individuals who have undergone weight-loss surgery. It features pre- and post-surgical measurements of weight and body mass index (BMI), alongside assessments of dietary restraint and dichotomous thinking. Analysis of the data substantiates the assertion that dichotomous thinking concerning food and diet acts as a mediator in the association between dietary restraint and the maintenance of weight loss subsequent to surgery. This finding holds clinical significance due to the measurable and modifiable nature of dichotomous thinking through psychological intervention. For further information, please refer to Marshall, Reay, & Bowman's (2024) work titled "Weight Loss After Weight-Loss Surgery: The Mediating Role of Dichotomous Thinking," published in Obesity Surgery. Note that the dataset in question contains no personally identifiable information, and participants provided informed consent for the dissemination of their de-identified research data in support of open science initiatives.

The gas-condensate liquid viscosity is recorded as a function of Pressure, Temperature and Solution gas to oil ratio (GOR) or normally presented as Rs using constant volume depletion experiment. All three aforementioned parameters of pressure, temperature and GOR strongly define the true characteristics of gas-condensate reservoir fluid below the saturation pressure, hence condensate liquid viscosity. The units for each factor are as follow: The pressure recorded in Pounds per square inch absolute (psia), Temperature recorded in degree Fahrenheit (F), solution gas to oil ratio corrected from Standing correlation and recorded in standard cubic foot per stock tank barrel (scf/STB) and condensate liquid viscosity is measured and recorded in centipoise (cp). The data can be used in modelling condensate liquid viscosity as a predominant factor in modelling and simulation of gas-condensate reservoirs below the saturation pressure. This also helps better performance modelling of such reservoirs and increase production efficiency.

This Collection contains various datasets and analysis tools, compiled from the Register of Deeds for the North Riding of Yorkshire and relating to women's involvement with property transfer and the wider property market during the period 1784-1790. Index Ledger Vol 9, 1784-1790, was transcribed in full and contains 6,868 unique transactions (31,966 lines). Each line represents a person's name. Core data from the Index showed: Township, unique reference and names of parties, but did not show date of transaction or the names of all parties. To analyse by gender this information was required, so this information was added by using the Deeds Registers. Further information was then added to the core datasets, again from the individual Deeds Registers : - gender of all parties ('male', 'female' and 'not applicable' (for businesses) - usual residence, occupation (if any), marital status and any details of family relationships or inheritance rights of every women transacting. An overview spreadsheet showing the analysis carried out is contained in this Collection. A subset of this material was created covering period 1785-1789 ONLY to provide a direct comparison with similarly sourced data from period 1885-1889. This material is held in a separate Collection - Women and Property 1785-1789: North Riding Register of Deeds - and is accessible for research purposes. Findings from the comparative study have been published: Heggie, J. K. F. (2019). Women's Involvement in Property in the North Riding of Yorkshire in the Eighteenth and Nineteenth Centuries. In A. L.

Index Ledger of Lands, 1885-1889, was transcribed in full and contains 14,481 unique transactions (52,741 lines). Each line represents a person's name. Core data from the Index showed: Date of Transaction, Township, Additional Information (1&2), Type of Transaction, unique reference and names of all parties. The dataset was coded for gender [Female, Male, Not Applicable (for businesses etc.), Unknown]. Further information was then added to the core datasets involving women by referring to the original record in the individual Deeds Registers: - marital status, occupation (if any), usual residence plus any details of family relationships or inheritance rights of every women transacting. An overview spreadsheet showing the analysis carried out is contained in this Collection. Additional datasets were created from the core datasets showing: Females Only by Marital Status; Unique Females Only by Marital Status; Female Wills and Female to Female Only Transaction.

It is important to monitor systemic fluoride (F) intake from foods, drinks and inadvertent toothpaste ingestion in order to minimise risk of dental fluorosis while maximising caries prevention. In collaboration with Newcastle University, we have developed and populated a “fluoride database” which includes the fluoride concentration (µg fluoride per 1g of the product) and content (µg fluoride per 100 g of the product) of a substantial number of food and drink products sold within the UK and Republic of Ireland, representing brands manufactured by leading companies in the European food market. The database is intended as a tool for public health professionals and policy-makers to facilitate monitoring of dietary fluoride intake, particularly in children. This publication provides information on fluoride concentrations of the most commonly consumed food and drink items in the UK, compiled from the results of a range of research projects funded by The Borrow Foundation and Organix Foundation and Food and Environment Research Agency (Fera) Science Ltd. The background to the development of the database is described in our paper published in Caries Research (Zohoori & Maguire, 2016). The wide range of fluoride content within food and drink groups, verified within this fluoride database clearly highlights the need for comprehensive fluoride labelling of food and drink products, particularly those used primarily by infants and very young children (Zohoori & Maguire, 2018).

Research hypothesis was to use the Registers of Deeds for the North Riding of Yorkshire (held at North Yorkshire County Record Office, Northallerton, England) to advance knowledge about women's involvement with property transfer and the wider property market in the 18th & 19th centuries. Registers began in 1736 and ceased in 1970; there are 89 Index Ledgers and 2,328 Deeds Registers. The system for recording data changed in 1885 so one Index Ledger was selected from pre/ post this date and 100 years apart to incorporate impact of Marriage Acts. Stage 1 - Two Index Ledgers were transcribed in full: 1) Index of Lands Vol 9 (1784-90) covers a seven-year period and contains 6,868 unique transactions (31,966 lines); and 2) Index of Lands 1885-1889 covers a five-year period and contains 14,481 unique transactions (52,741 lines). Each line represents a person's name. Core data from Index showed Township, unique reference and names of parties, but the 18th century Index Ledger did not show date of transaction or all parties. To analyse by gender this information was required so was added by using the Deeds Registers. Information from the individual Deeds Registers was then used to add to the core datasets: Stage 2 - The gender of all parties ('male', 'female' and 'not applicable' (for businesses) was added. Stage 3 - The usual residence, occupation (if any), marital status and any details of family relationships or inheritance rights of every women was added. Stage 4 - The 18th century dataset was then reduced to a five-year period covering 1785-1789 ONLY to provide a direct comparison with the 19th century dataset. Comparative analysis by: gender, marital status and number of transactions. Each transaction has a unique reference number but can contain multiple parties and cover more than one township. To identify the true number of transactions, the data had to be controlled for these factors. A control for uniqueness was also required for those individuals and organisations involved in multiple transactions and to avoid assuming that everyone with the same name was actually the same person. Where women were involved, additional data e.g. marital status, residence or family relationships was used to differentiate between like women. 1785-1789 findings include: distinctive patterns of female property involvement by gender and marital status. Married women represent more than 50% of female transactions despite having little, if any, legal status (coverture). Although 2,086 women transacted during this period, only 1.39% did so without husband's involvement; this increased to 45.47% by 1885-1889 period, reinforcing that Married Women's Property Acts were beginning to make an impact, treating married women as if 'feme sole'. More parity of involvement across marital status groups in 1885-1889 data, with spinsters' involvement increasing the most (from 17.58% to 31.37%). 1885-1889 dataset includes additional analysis by type of transaction and by township.

These can be full copies, or memorials of the original as shortened by the Clerk at the Registry. In some cases, the Township is not given, but 'County of York & Elsewhere' given as place. This implies that the Executors knew that there was some land/ property but were unclear of exact location, or that there were multiple pieces of land across the County. Excel and .csv versions provided. Sorted by Unique Ref, but can be resorted by year, township, name or marital status as required.**
