Summary: This study examines the impact of digital disruption on Generation Z and their attitudes towards rarely seen products. The research found that Generation Z relies more on digital media for information, but social networks have a greater effect and do not show generational differences. Digital disruption creates generational differences, but these differences can be eliminated through practice.

Summary: TikTok has become a popular social media platform among digital natives due to its algorithm-based engagement strategies, public accounts policy, and simple, colorful, and intuitive content interface. However, media and journalists have a low presence and impact on this platform, with most of their content focused on creating user communities based on viral content and entertainment.

Summary: The essay argues that the restrictions imposed by social media companies on academic researchers post the 2018 Facebook-Cambridge Analytica scandal have not significantly changed the underlying relationship between researchers, platforms, and digital data. It points out that researchers often overlooked rigor, ethics, and societal value in their data collection and analysis processes even when data seemed plentiful during the API era. The author suggests that digital researchers should critically examine and reflect on their past approaches to data collection and analysis to improve future research methods.

Summary: The study found that web-based tools have a positive impact on pregnant adolescents and postpartum depression patients, promoting treatment-seeking intentions and actual healthcare behavior. However, information sourced from the internet may lead to increased anxiety in adolescents, emphasizing the need for professionally curated platforms to prevent misleading information. More research is needed in the future to demonstrate the effectiveness of social media interventions or web-based tools in promoting adolescent maternal and infant health.

Summary: This study examined the role of digital media in psychiatric hospital admissions among adolescents. The findings revealed that digital media-related reasons for hospitalization were common among youth, with younger adolescents and those with addictive patterns of phone use being more likely to endorse such reasons. Moreover, youth who engaged in suicide-related social media activities were more likely to report severe suicidal ideation and recent suicide attempts.

Summary: This article explores the communication challenges brought about by the digital revolution in the 21st century for healthcare professionals internationally. It particularly focuses on the use of content-generating and sharing platforms like social media. Many healthcare professionals use these platforms without proper legal or ethical guidance, and are unaware of the associated risks. It is crucial for healthcare professionals to understand and navigate the ethical and legal challenges of digital interaction to protect the practitioner-patient relationship and reputation.

Summary: Using artificial intelligence to improve patient care is a cutting-edge method, but understanding its behavior remains a significant concern. The lack of consensus on explainability in healthcare has hindered its implementation. This paper aims to define minimal explainability standards to meet the needs of stakeholders and ensure the safe integration of artificial intelligence into clinical practice.

Summary: Despite being forbidden by international laws, collective punishment continues to be practiced in some form in Swiss prisons, violating prisoners' rights through unjust decision-making, unfair rules, inequalities in prison structures, and the continuation of incarceration based on others' behavior. Families can also be affected by collective punishment, and prolonging the detention of prisoners due to rare cases of reoffending can also be seen as a form of collective punishment.

Summary: In the case of Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG), treatment decision-making for parents is relatively straightforward given the fatal nature of the tumor and lack of established treatment protocols. Many parents experienced psychological issues after their child's death, with coping strategies often differing between mothers and fathers.

Summary: This paper presents the findings of a qualitative study that explored the attitudes and concerns of Swiss psychiatrists towards the utility, usability, and acceptability of electronic health records (EHRs), as well as how they address the challenges of sharing sensitive information. The study identified three main themes: the advantages of using EHRs in clinical settings, the limitations of EHRs, and recommendations on safeguarding confidentiality in health records. The results demonstrate varied practices of EHR use in Swiss psychiatric hospitals and a lack of standardized documentation for sensitive information.

Summary: This study investigated the attitudes of Swiss healthcare professionals towards the use of social media in adolescent and young adult oncology and explored whether the COVID-19 pandemic has influenced these attitudes. The results showed that while social media was considered useful for various professional aspects, only a small proportion of participants used it regularly for professional reasons. Regression analysis indicated that self-assessed skillfulness with social media, the impact of COVID-19 on attitudes, and the oncology setting significantly predicted the assessment of social media's usefulness. Improving social media use through institutional guidelines and providing training interventions could enhance familiarity and increase awareness about ethical guidelines for using social media.

Summary: This paper proposes a dynamic approach to case-based learning that utilizes the scenarios where AI is currently used in clinical practice as examples. Case-based learning with AI as an example provides additional benefits such as allowing doctors to compare their thought processes to the AI suggestions and critically reflect on the assumptions and biases of AI and clinical practice. This approach also fosters interdisciplinary collaboration by encouraging discussion of different views between technologists, multidisciplinary experts, and healthcare professionals.

Summary: The study found that there is a hierarchy of crimes in prisons as recognized by older incarcerated individuals. In addition, there is a social hierarchy based on ethnicity, education, and other characteristics. Lower-ranked individuals on the crime hierarchy use the social hierarchy to cope with bullying and exhibit a narcissistic facade.

Summary: There is existing empirical literature on the psychosocial health and wellbeing of parents and offspring born at an advanced parental age. However, there are discrepancies in defining who is an advanced parental age parent and an imbalance in the empirical evidence for different participant groups. The studies show a trend towards finding increased risks of neuro-developmental and psychotic disorders among offspring, but the observed advantages and disadvantages are difficult to compare.

Summary: The debate over whether there should be restrictions for access to Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART) is ongoing. One controversial topic is the use of parental age as a criterion to limit access to ART. This article explores three conceptions of age - chronological, biological, and social-cultural - and their implications for regulating ART access. It proposes a template for defining legal age limits based on a refined understanding of these conceptions and addresses potential objections.
