Summary: Sustainability science aims to enhance our ability to address complex problems involving economic, social, and environmental systems. This review highlights the importance of participatory modelling in understanding how human behavior can hinder conflict management and resolution. The study identifies and categorizes barriers and opportunities that human behavior presents in this engagement process, and provides strategies to overcome them. It concludes by suggesting actions and future research directions to create more meaningful engagements that help stakeholders move towards sustainability in natural resource management.

Summary: Research on faculty engagement in computer science and e-learning environments is limited. Reports indicate that low faculty engagement can lead to negative outcomes for students, such as switching majors or dropout. The current shift to e-learning during the pandemic has further reduced interactivity. This study, conducted in a Saudi Arabian university, empirically documents the low levels of computer science faculty engagement and emphasizes the importance of training for online instruction.

Summary: Social media can be used for consumer engagement in hospital service design and quality improvement, but barriers such as lack of skills and resources, organizational processes, and distrust of social media companies may limit its uptake. Hospitals need to create a supportive environment through clear governance systems and training, while consumers should be involved in co-designing activities. Providing complementary methods of engagement alongside social media-based methods is important for those facing barriers.

Summary: Low levels of engagement in implementation science among health researchers is a multifaceted issue, with lack of knowledge and training in implementation science, as well as perceived negative impact on career development, being key barriers. Efforts to increase familiarity with implementation science methods, foster support for implementation science within research communities, and reduce barriers to funding and publishing are likely to be most effective in increasing engagement in implementation science research.

Summary: This paper explores the perceptions and perspectives of academicians in Malaysia regarding the limitations, challenges, and potential solutions of implementing neuromarketing. A semi-structured interview with 16 academicians was conducted, revealing various obstacles to the growth of neuromarketing, such as ethical concerns, high costs, the need for specialized expertise, and lack of resources. However, several potential solutions were suggested, including collaboration, providing labs and facilities, and increasing financial resources. This study contributes to the body of knowledge by increasing awareness of the difficulties in implementing neuromarketing and guiding future research and development.

Summary: There is a strong association between the quality of nurse-service user therapeutic relationship and care outcomes in acute mental health inpatient wards. However, the implementation of the Therapeutic Engagement Questionnaire (TEQ) is hindered by practical and perceptual factors, which were further amplified by the COVID-19 pandemic. This study suggests various facilitation methods, such as reflective discussions and winning nurse 'buy-in', to address these barriers and support the implementation of TEQ.

Summary: The research explores a business model experimentation in the value chain of a coffee importer in Amsterdam to address the gaps in sector-specific understanding of barriers and enablers in the Circular Economy (CE). It identified coherence in governmental policies, industry silo thinking, and circular design standardization as major barriers, while common awareness, vision, and solid business models were crucial enablers. Additionally, the study highlighted the sensitivity of companies' identity and market perception, the importance of fact-based communication, and the clear interaction between barriers and enablers in the adoption of CE initiatives. This research complements existing literature on CE with a sector-specific perspective from the coffee industry.

Summary: The study found variations in the implementation of surgery standards across Canada, with major under-implemented categories including quality assurance, data collection, and pathology turnaround time. Enablers, barriers, and opportunities for standards implementation were discussed in a focus group. Future efforts should focus on promoting quality improvement strategies and effective resource allocation to enhance patient outcomes.

Summary: This study interviewed specialists in Australia and found that strong organizational focus, beliefs about the benefits of MDT discussions, and the use of technology were key enablers for MDT practices. On the other hand, barriers to MDT practices included the lack of palliative care representation, a high number of MDT meetings, and reduced confidence to participate in discussions.

Summary: Conserving urban biodiversity is crucial for addressing the biodiversity-extinction crisis and fostering a connection between people and nature. However, little attention has been given to how environmental managers in cities navigate complex socio-ecological contexts to achieve this. Through interviews with Australian environmental managers, we found that current practices for biodiversity conservation are more diverse, innovative, and proactive than previously described. However, there is a lack of mainstream adoption of priority actions identified in the literature, such as designing for human-nature connection and securing space for nature in cities. We also identified strategies to overcome barriers and emphasized the importance of interdisciplinary approaches in future research and practice.

Summary: Research has shown that taking "timeouts" in medical practice improves performance and patient safety. A systematic conceptualisation of the medical pause is suggested, focusing on its importance, processes, and implementation in training programmes. By employing insights from educational and cognitive psychology, pausing is identified as an important skill to interrupt negative momentum and bolster learning, with cognitive processes for pausing skills categorised into decision-making and executive phases.

Summary: This study explores how emotion influences the cognitive load experienced by trainees during patient handovers, identifying two core emotion dimensions - invigoration and tranquility. Findings suggest that higher levels of invigoration, tranquility, and their interaction are associated with lower cognitive load types.

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic has led to significant psychological distress among healthcare workers in New York State, particularly among physicians and trainees who were redeployed to treat COVID-19 patients. Redeployment was associated with increased Emotional Exhaustion (EE) among physicians, while trainees, particularly junior level trainees, also experienced higher levels of EE. Additional research is needed to understand the long-term impact of redeployment on burnout among healthcare workers.

Summary: With the rise of competency-based medical education and workplace-based assessment, assessment methods have been extensively discussed. Direct observation and other sources of information have become standard in many clinical programs. Entrustable professional activities have become a central focus in clinical workplace assessment. The use of digital technology has rendered paper and pencil observation obsolete, and mobile technology has become indispensable for documentation and assessment at the point of care.

Summary: During the COVID-19 pandemic, ICU staffing saw an expansion and change with a composite workforce. Supervision was found to be critical for safe care, but not necessarily related to prior ICU experience. Stable teams matching less experienced personnel with experienced personnel, strong interprofessional collaboration, a culture of informal consultation, and flexible application of rules and regulations were essential for successful care under exceptional circumstances during the pandemic.

Summary: This study investigated the validity of a clinical skills evaluation (CSE) required by the ABPN for psychiatry and neurology residency programs. The authors found that CSE scores were highly correlated with year of training but not related to performance on unrelated cognitive exams. The findings support the CSE as a measure of residents' clinical skills and showed consistency in scoring across the programs.
