Summary: This study investigated changes in healthcare students' attitudes towards interprofessional collaboration after undertaking the Interprofessional Education and Collaboration (IPEC) course. The results showed an improvement in students' attitudes towards the interprofessional biases domain, while slight declines in other domains, with a statistically significant difference in the patient centeredness domain.

Summary: This study examined the readiness of undergraduate nursing students for interprofessional learning and socialisation in a large Australian university. The results showed that the mode of study and prior healthcare experience did not significantly affect students' readiness for interprofessional learning and socialisation. However, previous healthcare experience and duration of study significantly improved students' interprofessional socialisation skills. This suggests that nursing students may have interprofessional education opportunities that influence their perceived socialisation skills.

Summary: The study aims to explore nurse educators' experiences and strategies in simulation-based learning. The theory of Endeavouring interplay illustrates the complexity educators face when trying to optimize simulation as a learning space for nurse students, involving strategies such as legitimizing simulation, self-development, preparing students, and tailoring simulation.

Summary: LGBTQIA+ patients face discrimination in healthcare settings due to lack of provider knowledge and biases. This study aimed to assess the educational impact of an interprofessional active learning session on LGBTQIA+ cultural competency. The study involved students from 16 healthcare professional programs and showed an increase in perception of importance and confidence in LGBTQIA+ issues post-session. The case-based approach proved effective in enhancing cultural competency awareness and promoting interprofessional collaboration.

Summary: Background: Frailty and multimorbidity are common in geriatric rehabilitation care (GRC). Proper care of these patients requires optimal interprofessional collaboration (IPC). Methods: A mixed method pre-post study was conducted over 15 months to develop IPC in GRC teams. The study included training programs, data collection through surveys and observations of team meetings, and data analysis of ADL independence and inpatient days before and after the project. Results: The study showed improvement in interprofessional belonging, commitment, and overall identity, as well as improvements in shared values, context, structure & organization, group dynamics & interaction, and entrepreneurship & management. The number of inpatient days was significantly reduced. Conclusions: The GRC teams showed a shift towards more IPC and better representation of patient needs, resulting in a decrease in inpatient days. Continued development and investment in collaboration with the patient are necessary to further improve IPC.

Summary: Two local universities in Hong Kong introduced an interprofessional team-based learning program to enhance collaboration and problem-solving skills among undergraduate healthcare students. Evaluating the experiences of nursing and physiotherapy undergraduates, the study found that interprofessional learning activities improved learning experiences and promoted trustful and complementary relationships, leading to confident knowledge transfer and patient-centered care.

Summary: Learning in the workplace is crucial for lifelong learning as it provides a meaningful context. Expansive learning, proposed by Engestrom, focuses on learners as a community and culture transformation. This study investigated the dimensions of expansive learning and their relationships in three Chinese consulting firms. The findings identified four dimensions (distribution, collectiveness, routine, and expansiveness) and constructed a dynamic process model for understanding expansive learning.

Summary: This study explores the design and evaluation of Team-based Interprofessional Practice Placements (TIPPs) to support undergraduate students in gaining a better understanding of patient problems and collaboration within interprofessional teams. The study found that TIPPs enhance students' understanding of patient complexity and the value of interprofessional team members' expertise. However, TIPPs need to strike an appropriate balance between teacher support and student autonomy to enhance student learning.

Summary: In this paper, a hardware-based malware detector (XMD) is proposed, which achieves better detection performance compared to currently used hardware performance counter (HPC) detectors. It is demonstrated that adding non-core telemetry channels improves the separability of benign and malware classes, resulting in performance gains. Experimental results show that XMD achieves a detection performance of 86.54% with a false positive rate of 2.9% on a mobile device.

Summary: This paper presents a three-year research study on enhancing case-based learning in education for sustainability. It proposes the use of an extensive mixed media case and an active learning environment to facilitate multidimensional analysis through a sustainability audit, overcoming the challenges of traditional case-based learning. The findings of the study suggest that students are more engaged and develop the knowledge, skills, and values required for work readiness and to become sustainability change agents through their immersion in an audit. Therefore, this paper may be of interest to educators seeking an innovative approach to education for sustainability that overcomes the challenges of traditional case-based learning and promotes active, experiential learning of the multi-faceted aspects of sustainability.

Summary: Due to the periodic changes of climate, cracks are widely developed in expansive soils, leading to the destruction of soil integrity, the deterioration of physical strength, and eventually the instability of the expansive soil slope and other disasters. In this paper, a deep learning-based modeling method was proposed for soil crack networks characterization. The proposed method efficiently characterizes soil crack networks using field acquired crack images.
