- Background Understanding the magnitude of cancer burden attributable to potentially modifiable risk factors is crucial for development of effective prevention and mitigation strategies. We analysed results from the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD) 2019 to inform cancer control planning efforts globally. Methods The GBD 2019 comparative risk assessment framework was used to estimate cancer burden attributable to behavioural, environmental and occupational, and metabolic risk factors. A total of 82 risk-outcome pairs were included on the basis of the World Cancer Research Fund criteria. Estimated cancer deaths and disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) in 2019 and change in these measures between 2010 and 2019 are presented. Findings Globally, in 2019, the risk factors included in this analysis accounted for 4.45 million (95% uncertainty interval 4.01-4.94) deaths and 105 million (95.0-116) DALYs for both sexes combined, representing 44.4% (41.3-48.4) of all cancer deaths and 42.0% (39.1-45.6) of all DALYs. There were 2.88 million (2.60-3.18) risk-attributable cancer deaths in males (50.6% [47.8-54.1] of all male cancer deaths) and 1.58 million (1.36-1.84) risk-attributable cancer deaths in females (36.3% [32.5-41.3] of all female cancer deaths). The leading risk factors at the most detailed level globally for risk-attributable cancer deaths and DALYs in 2019 for both sexes combined were smoking, followed by alcohol use and high BMI. Risk-attributable cancer burden varied by world region and Socio-demographic Index (SDI), with smoking, unsafe sex, and alcohol use being the three leading risk factors for risk-attributable cancer DALYs in low SDI locations in 2019, whereas DALYs in high SDI locations mirrored the top three global risk factor rankings. From 2010 to 2019, global risk-attributable cancer deaths increased by 20.4% (12.6-28.4) and DALYs by 16.8% (8.8-25.0), with the greatest percentage increase in metabolic risks (34.7% [27.9-42.8] and 33.3% [25.8-42.0]). Interpretation The leading risk factors contributing to global cancer burden in 2019 were behavioural, whereas metabolic risk factors saw the largest increases between 2010 and 2019. Reducing exposure to these modifiable risk factors would decrease cancer mortality and DALY rates worldwide, and policies should be tailored appropriately to local cancer risk factor burden.

- During the past decade, two-dimensional (2D) layered materials opened novel opportunities for the exploration of exciting new physics and devices owing to their physical and electronic properties. Among 2D materials, iron selenide has attracted much attention from several physicists as they provide a fruitful stage for developing new superconductors. Chemical doping offers a powerful approach to manipulate and optimize the electronic structure and physical properties of materials. Here, to reveal how doping affects the physical properties in FeSe, we report on complementary measurements of molybdenum- and sulfur-doped FeSe with theoretical calculations. Mo0.1Fe0.9Se0.9S0.1 was synthesized by a one-step solid-state reaction method. Crystal structure and morphology were studied using powder X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. Thermal stability and decomposition behavior in doped samples were studied by thermogravimetric analysis, and to understand the microscopic influence of doping, we performed Raman spectroscopy. First-principles calculations of the electronic structure illustrate distinct changes of electronic structures of the substituted FeSe systems, which can be responsible for their superconducting properties.

- Despite intense efforts on all known quasi-two-dimensional superconductors, the origin and exact boundary of the electronic orderings, particularly charge density waves and superconductivity, are still attractive problems with several open questions. Here, in order to reveal how the superconducting gap evolves, we report on high quality complementary measurements of magneto-optical imaging, specific heat, magnetic susceptibility, resis-tivity measurements, Andreev spectroscopy, and London penetration depth lambda(ab)(T) measurements supplemented with theoretical calculations for 2H-NbSe2 and 2H-NbS2 single crystals. The temperature dependence of lambda(ab)(T) calculated from the lower critical field and Andreev spectroscopy can be well described by using a two-band model with s-wave-like gaps. The effect of pressure on the superconducting gap of both systems illustrates that both bands are practically affected. Upon compression, the Fermi surfaces do not change significantly, and the nesting remains almost unaffected compared to that at ambient condition. However, a strong bending in the upper critical fields (H-c2) curves is obtained under pressure and support the presence of a strong Pauli paramagnetic effect. In NbSe2, using a two-band model with s-wave-like gaps, the temperature dependence H-c2(T) can be properly described. In contrast to that, the behavior of H-c2 for NbS2 is ruled by the spin paramagnetic effect. The estimated values of the penetration depth at T = 0 K confirm that NbSe2 and NbS2 superconductors depart from a Uemura-style relationship between Tc with lambda(-2)(ab) (T ), the in-plane superconducting penetration depth.
