Summary: The vulnerability management strategy depends on the supply of undiscovered vulnerabilities. If the number of undiscovered vulnerabilities is small, focus on finding and removing them; if it is large, focus on quick patch dissemination and engineering resilient systems. This paper examines the paradigm that the number of undiscovered vulnerabilities is small and finds little support for it. It recommends an approach favoring quick patch dissemination and engineering resilient systems, while continuing good software engineering practices.

Summary: This study investigates the impact of grade nondisclosure (GND) policies in MBA programs at top-ranked business schools. GND prevents students from sharing their grades and GPAs with employers. The research findings indicate that GND weakens the positive relationship between GPA and employer desirability in the job market. Additionally, during the MBA program, GND leads to a decrease in academic effort by approximately 4.9% among students compared to those not subject to the policy. The study also suggests that students under GND engage in more extracurricular activities and enroll in more challenging courses.

Summary: This study examines the consequences of granting extended control over personal information to customers in service systems. The results show that while giving customers control can help protect their interests, it may also lead to inferior system performance and longer wait times. Regulators can address information disclosure inefficiencies through incentives, and the service provider can benefit from customers being in control of their personal information.

Summary: The study analyzed the relationship between health need, insurance coverage, health service availability, service use, insurance claims, and out-of-pocket spending across Indonesia. Results showed a discrepancy between self-reported national health insurance registration and insurer's report, with higher insurance coverage in poorer areas where service provision is lower, impacting service use and health spending.

Summary: Unchecked climate change will result in increased precipitation volatility globally, leading to economic damages in the face of adjustment costs. The study focuses on estimating these damages in the construction industry, which is economically important and exposed to climate risks. The empirical analysis shows that employment declines in response to forecasted rainfall, with a stronger effect observed for longer forecast horizons. Using a multi-sector model of local labor markets, labor adjustment costs are identified. The findings suggest that construction firms pay a higher percentage of monthly profit for adjusting to rainfall forecasted one month ahead compared to six months ahead. In the absence of further adaptation or forecast improvements, the projected increase in rainfall volatility due to climate change will lead to costlier adjustment.

Summary: The global climate policy agenda requires a rapid transition to a low-carbon mode, but progress has been slow. One significant issue is that current policy appraisal frameworks fail to adequately consider the dynamics of societal and technological change, leading to underestimated risks and unassessed economic opportunities.

Summary: This article explores the generation mechanism of the arrow of time in living systems. By decomposing the entropy production of thermodynamic systems, the local evidence is found to consist of two independent terms and an interaction term. Using tools from nonequilibrium physics, the interaction term is further decomposed into contributions from pairs of elements. It is discovered that the interactions among pairs of neurons play a significant role in breaking detailed balance.

Summary: This study investigates the potential positive and negative effects of the 'yield to pedestrians' policy on pedestrian risky behaviors. The results show that knowledge about the policy decreases risky behaviors, while perceived effectiveness increases risky behaviors. It is important to emphasize and strengthen the promotion of the policy and improve pedestrian awareness of traffic safety to avoid potential negative effects.

Summary: Human-centred design (HCD) is a problem-solving approach used to develop global health interventions. The cost-effectiveness of HCD depends on the number of clients reached and the trade-off between HCD costs and intervention delivery costs.

Summary: We demonstrate that the evidence for a local arrow of time can be decomposed into irreversibility arising from individual dynamics and correlations among variables. Through models and neural activity analysis, we find that interactions between pairs of neurons contribute primarily to the irreversibility of neural activity.

Summary: This study aimed to quantify the relationship between increases in medical expenditures of public hospitals and changes in service use and prices. The study found that service use, rather than prices, appears to be the major driver of increases in medical expenditures in Chinese hospitals.

Summary: The UK officially announces recession with a record drop in GDP of 20.4%, which will have a significant impact on health and well-being. Good health is both a consequence and a condition for sustained economic development, creating a virtuous circle of improved health and prosperity.
