Summary: While previous studies have suggested the role of ozone-depleting substances (ODSs) in historical climate change, their contribution to anthropogenic warming has not been quantified. Using a state-of-the-art Earth System Model, this study found that ODSs are responsible for 30% of global warming, 37% of Arctic warming, and 33% of summertime Arctic sea ice loss over the 1955-2005 period. The study also highlighted that the global warming response to ODSs per unit of Effective Radiative Forcing (ERF) is about 20% larger than for CO2, emphasizing the importance of the Montreal Protocol for mitigating future climate change.

Summary: Increases in burned forest area in the western US and southwestern Canada have been influenced by a rise in vapor pressure deficit (VPD) caused by human-induced climate change. This study uses various models to determine the contribution of emissions from major carbon producers to the long-term increase in VPD and cumulative forest fire area in the region. The research finds that these emissions contributed significantly to the rise in VPD and the area burned by forest fires. As the impacts of fires and droughts continue to escalate, this research provides insights for discussions about the responsibility of carbon producers in addressing climate risks.

Summary: This study aims to inform the design of Payments for hydrologic services (PHS) policies by modeling ecosystem services outcomes in watersheds in Veracruz, Mexico. The results suggest that a benefit targeting strategy based on prioritizing areas with highest groundwater recharge potential performs slightly better than the current targeting strategy. However, targeting based on deforestation risk leads to unintended consequences.

Summary: The research found that assessments can have both positive and negative effects on student motivation for learning in health professions education. Assessments that stimulate controlled motivation tend to have negative outcomes, while those that stimulate autonomous motivation have positive outcomes. Students often focus on studying for assessments rather than acquiring knowledge relevant to professional practice.

Summary: This study explores how educators perceive and achieve assessment quality, as well as their perceptions of the impact of assessment on student learning. The findings reveal that educators predominantly use traditional criteria to understand and achieve assessment quality, with limited awareness of quality criteria at the course and program levels. Additionally, educators perceive the impact of assessment on student learning in two distinct ways: as a source of information to monitor and direct learning, and as a tool to prompt learning.

Summary: This study examined the prevalence and characteristics of mistreatment among medical students in Thailand, as well as the reporting, student-related factors, and consequences of mistreatment. The majority of participants reported experiencing mistreatment, with workplace learning-related bullying being the most common type and attending staff or teachers being the most common source. Only a small number of students reported these instances of mistreatment to others. Students' academic year was significantly related to workplace learning-related bullying, and mistreatment was associated with the risk of depression, burnout, and unprofessional behavior.

Summary: Reliability and measurement error are measurement properties that assess the impact of various sources of variation on individual measurements. Different designs can be used to evaluate reliability and measurement error, based on choices about which sources of variation are manipulated, which are controlled, and whether the entire measurement instrument or only part of it is repeated. This paper explains how these choices affect the calculation of intraclass correlation coefficients and standard errors of measurement using Venn diagrams, and provides recommendations for improving measurement and reporting study essentials.
