Summary: This study evaluated the task handover from hospital clinicians to general practitioners. The majority of tasks initiated in hospitals were followed up by hospital clinicians, with a significant proportion being inappropriate for GPs. There is a need to increase awareness among hospital clinicians about their responsibility to follow up hospital-initiated investigations.

Summary: This study compared the effect of thrombectomy with contact aspiration and stent retriever combined vs stent retriever alone on revascularization in patients with acute ischemic stroke and large vessel occlusion. The findings showed that the combination technique did not significantly improve the reperfusion rate compared to using stent retriever alone, suggesting that the trial may have been underpowered to detect smaller differences between the groups.

Summary: The lack of WHO authority to monitor and enforce health regulations leads to inadequate global preparedness for disease outbreaks. A new global collective action framework is needed to ensure compliance with international regulations and enhance prevention and response to pandemics. Recommendations for a new global health security convention include greater authority for a global governing body, improved pandemic response, and effective enforcement mechanisms.

Summary: This article examines how different power strategies can be applied to manage conflict and disagreements in governance networks, using adversarial and cooperative approaches. Through qualitative empirical evidence from two Israeli governance networks, the study explores how these strategies lead to different types of network administrative organizations (NAOs) and their impact on inter-organizational collaboration. The article evaluates the implications of these strategies for networks' endurance, legitimacy, and performance.

Summary: This paper explores the extent to which poor institutional arrangements on land tenure systems can explain famine in the Horn of Africa. It points out that insecure land tenure due to poor institutional arrangements is considered the main cause of diminished productivity in agriculture, exacerbating famine during times of drought.

Summary: The study reveals the dominant influence of a few countries and industry players in the decision-making process of the International Maritime Organization, leading to less participation from other member states. Data shows that the majority of documents are submitted by a few delegations, allowing them to control the agenda of meetings, while some member states are nearly absent from the discussions.

Summary: This paper investigates the role of scientific expertise in the global governance of soil and land degradation through a fieldwork-based study of the Science-Policy Interface (SPI) of the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD) and the Intergovernmental Technical Panel on Soils (ITPS) of the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO). The analysis reveals that the degree to which science-policy organizations match the definition of boundary organization and the occurrence of hybrid management strategies have significant implications for bridging science and policy at the intergovernmental level. The study suggests that Science and Technology Studies (STS) concepts can serve broad analytical purposes in the study of global environmental governance and should be considered by International Relations (IR) scholars for the analysis of global environmental institutions.

Summary: Caribbean fisheries face challenges in implementing co-management, such as weak institutions, financial constraints, reduced group cohesion due to stakeholder heterogeneity, and lack of legal agreements. However, successful implementation in Tela Bay was achieved through bridging organizations facilitating collaboration and social capital reflected in community participation, cooperation, trust, and conflict resolution mechanisms. The case study demonstrates that co-management in Caribbean fisheries requires institution building and governance tailored to the socio-economic context of each fishery.

Summary: The study on hybrid professionalism in clinical directorates found that it can enhance clinical governance, interdisciplinary collaboration, and standardization of clinical work. There was a significant overlap in attitudes between doctors and nurses, with inter-professional integration fostering alignment of values and aims. The findings have implications for policymakers and managers in terms of mission and strategic mandate, governance, leadership, engagement of healthcare professionals, and changes in managerial involvement during the COVID-19 pandemic.
