Summary: This study examines the relationship between information management and supply chain resilience by surveying senior managers from multinational corporations and small and medium enterprises in the United Kingdom. The findings suggest that information security culture and information leakage influence supply chain resilience, with information security culture playing a vital role in mitigating information leakage and fostering effective information sharing.

Summary: Evidence-Based Medicine encourages clinicians to seek reputable evidence, with randomized controlled trials considered the least biased. However, RCTs often face issues with poor generalizability, hindering the translation of clinical research into practice. Factors contributing to this lack of generalizability have not been fully summarized.

Summary: Understanding the physiological basis of physical resilience to clinical stressors is crucial for the well-being of older adults. This article presents a framework, known as SPRING, to study the biological underpinnings of physical resilience in older adults by examining the dynamics of stress response systems. The study aims to assess energy metabolism, the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, the autonomic nervous system, and the innate immune system through dynamic stimulation tests and deep phenotyping. The results can enhance resilient outcomes to major clinical stressors and improve the overall health and well-being of older adults.

Summary: The article discusses the relationship between altered decision-making abilities in psychiatric disorders and the legal framework of psychiatric advance directives, introducing the application of artificial intelligence in Clinical Decision Support Systems. It explores the theoretical and ethical issues of AI intervention in the PAD drafting process and proposes guidelines including AI remaining as a decision support system, patients being able to choose personalized AI intervention or none, educational programs to enhance patient understanding of AI, and creating a committee to ensure vigilance in auditing new AI tools.

Summary: This article argues that consciousness has a logically sound, explanatory framework, different from typical accounts, and discusses the evolution of consciousness. By emphasizing the specific role of consciousness in cognition and behavior, it provides a proposed account of how consciousness may have evolved over millions of years. The goal is to present a comprehensive, overarching framework in which we can scientifically understand what consciousness is and what key adaptive roles it plays in brain function.

Summary: Resilience refers to the ability to recover from setbacks and adapt to new circumstances, and resilient teachers can handle issues effectively. This study aims to interpret the recent decade's research on teacher resilience and provide a conceptual framework for understanding the factors influencing teacher resilience. A total of 22 articles were analyzed by reading their titles and abstracts, collected from the Scopus database. The study marked the country where the data were collected, the aims of the study, the education level of the participants, the sample size, the scale used, and the variables included. Most studies focused on determining effects, exploring correlations, or examining particular aspects. Factors such as age, gender, psychological factors, workplace variables, and teacher competency were found to impact teacher resilience. Teacher resilience was found to have a negative impact on depression, stress, anxiety, and mood, while positively affecting quality of life and well-being. Job crafting, work engagement, and working environment were positively correlated, while job burnout and turnover intention were negatively correlated with teacher resilience. Additionally, resilience was found to be positively correlated with emotion regulation, empathy, evaluation of others' emotions, teacher competence, self-efficacy, and self-esteem. Factors such as anger, anxiety, mindfulness, pleasure, social support, fear, and training were found to influence teacher resilience. Teacher resilience, in turn, affected stress, depersonalization, personal accomplishment, emotional exhaustion, children's resilience, job engagement, happiness, well-being, self-care, and success.

Summary: This article introduces a conceptual model of the cross-scale effect of heavy metals (HMs) on biogeochemical services by services providing units (SPUs) and proposes a method for applying the model. The objectives are to identify research clusters related to the effects of HMs on ecosystem services (ES), biodiversity, and resilience, map scientific fields necessary for implementation of the model, describe the complexity of cause-effect chains, and suggest approaches for implementing the model in contaminated socio-ecological systems. The analysis shows that current research focuses on microbial communities and functional traits, with less emphasis on larger-scale issues. The evaluation indicates the importance of this model in contaminated socio-ecological systems.

Summary: The increasing frequency and severity of weather extremes caused by climate change highlight the need to assess buildings beyond their normal thermal and energy performance. This study proposes a simulation framework to evaluate and enhance the thermal resilience of buildings against indoor overheating, and also addresses how to aggregate resilience profiles of single buildings into the urban scale, supporting the evaluation of thermally resilient communities.

Summary: This study on female members of the Christchurch Health and Development Study cohort aims to document menopause status, reproductive outcomes, climacteric symptoms, and associations between menopause status and psychosocial and economic well-being. Results show that most women at age 40 are premenopausal, with significant associations found between diagnosed reproductive disorders, climacteric symptoms, low occupational status, non-heterosexual sexuality, and childhood sexual abuse among both perimenopausal and postmenopausal women.

Summary: The study found that depression is associated with increased risk of past-year intimate partner violence (IPV), with differences by gender. Among women, depression was associated with a 7.4% increase in past-year physical IPV perpetration, while among men the increase was 4.8%. Alcohol misuse did not mediate this association, but past-year IPV victimisation mediated the effect of depression on IPV perpetration among women.

Summary: This research utilized a Mixed Graphical Model to analyze 15 psychosocial variables collected from a representative population birth cohort in Christchurch, New Zealand, born in 1977. The study found that psychosocial risk factors for internalising disorders are often inter-related, explaining a portion of the variance in depression and anxiety, and highlighting the need for researchers to embrace complexity in understanding these disorders on a broader psychosocial level.

Summary: Adolescent use of alcohol, tobacco, and cannabis peaked in the late 1990s/early 2000s, then declined rapidly, and prevalence is now much lower than 20 years ago. However, levels of adolescent binge drinking remain high by international standards and disparities in tobacco and cannabis use by ethnicity and socioeconomic status are wide.

Summary: This study followed 1265 participants from birth to age 40 in Christchurch, New Zealand, and identified plausible predictors of methamphetamine use. The strongest predictors of regular methamphetamine use in adulthood were markers of externalizing problems in childhood and adolescence (conduct problems, parental illicit substance use, high novelty seeking, and deviant peer affiliations), as well as unemployment, life stress, and other substance use disorders.

Summary: This study aimed to summarize current evidence from longitudinal studies on protective factors for adult psychosocial outcomes following childhood adversity. The narrative review found that social support is a protective factor for mental health outcomes following childhood adversity. Findings also suggest that aspects of education are protective factors for adult socioeconomic, mental health, and social outcomes following childhood adversity. Personality factors were found to be protective for a variety of outcomes, particularly mental health, but could not be summarized into meaningful combined effects due to heterogeneity and conceptual differences among studies.
