Summary: Sudden out-of-hospital cardiac arrest remains a top cause of death in industrialized countries, with significant differences in bystander resuscitation rates globally. The ILCOR World Restart a Heart initiative has educated millions of people, potentially saving hundreds of thousands of lives, influencing legislation, and inspiring research. The WRAH awareness campaign has successfully reached 194 countries and over 200 million people through social media and digital/virtual programs.

Summary: The Earth is facing issues such as global warming, overexploitation of ecosystems, species extinction, and pollution due to the increasing need for production, consumerism, and development. Although the concept of sustainable development has gained attention, forests, oceans, and wetlands, which are crucial ecosystems, are being destroyed at an alarming rate. This article discusses the incompatibility of true mangrove conservation with the concept of sustainable development and proposes solutions such as rejecting capital-oriented systems, reducing economic growth, transforming the energy matrix, and shifting to a lower level of the food chain.

Summary: To date, there have been no studies on the understanding of health equity among those involved in the World Health Organization's work. This research aims to address this gap by examining how key informants of the Urban Health Equity Assessment and Response Tool (Urban HEART) understand health equity. Findings reveal a core value placed on equity and a recognition of avoidable and unfair inequalities. However, there is also a lack of clarity and inconsistent use of terms related to health equity. Moving forward, it is important to establish a shared understanding of key terms and seek clarification before implementing global health initiatives.

Summary: This paper proposes a practical methodology by the Stent - Save a Life! Initiative to effectively establish and continuously develop a STEMI network in any region of the world with existing resources. It highlights the lack of coordinated care for STEMI patients in many regions, which is mainly due to a lack of organizational power.

Summary: With the evolving media and political systems in the US, coupled with increasing campaigns of misinformation, the public is divided over objective facts in policy debates and has lost confidence in the institutions designed to adjudicate those debates. To address this issue, civic entrepreneurs have introduced institutional reforms, such as the Citizens' Initiative Review (CIR), which gathers a random sample of registered voters to form a deliberative panel and assess the merits of a ballot measure. The study shows that reading the CIR guide has a positive effect on voters' policy knowledge, especially for those with greater faith in deliberation.

Summary: This study examined transaction costs and their determinants in the sharing economy, using structural equation modeling to analyze data from 375 users of Airbnb. The findings suggest that personalization of asset specificity and transaction frequency decrease transaction costs, while learning of asset specificity and transaction uncertainty increase transaction costs, influencing behavioral intention. Perceived complementarity has a direct impact on transaction uncertainty, and the number of users moderates the relationship between transaction costs and behavioral intention. This understanding can guide managers in various industries impacted by the rapid growth of the sharing economy, providing them with strategies to address this trend.

Summary: Observational study comparing 40-minute and 120-minute CPR training programs found that the lower-cost 40-minute handmade model had a higher success rate than the intermediate-cost 120-minute model. Success rates varied among learners of different ages within the same program, with success increasing with age.

Summary: Studies found variations in sensitivity and specificity of cardiac arrest recognition at the time of emergency call across different dispatch centers, unaffected by dispatch algorithms or dispatcher education levels. Future work should focus on enhancing the sensitivity of cardiac arrest recognition to improve patient care and ensure timely resource utilization.

Summary: While anyone can visit emergency departments without an appointment, prioritization leads to wasteful and frustrating waiting periods. However, engaging, empowering, and educating waiting patients can add value to their care. Implementing these principles can benefit both patients and the healthcare system.
