Summary: Individuals with severe mental illness (SMI) have lower physical activity levels and life expectancy due to increased risks of cardiometabolic diseases. Physical activity interventions in secure forensic settings have shown some positive effects on weight, waist circumference, and psychiatric symptoms, but more research is needed to fully understand the benefits and barriers to physical activity in this population.

Summary: Blow flies are important in various fields and accurate taxonomic identification is essential. However, the neotropical fauna is not fully studied and the current morphological keys are not suitable for all taxa. Molecular-based approaches, including a shorter COI fragment, were used to identify blow fly species in northwestern South America. The approaches achieved moderate effectiveness in species identification, with the shorter fragment allowing molecular identification of most neotropical species.

Summary: An understanding of the history and current status of taxon names is crucial in taxonomy, and selecting the correct name from synonyms is important in applied studies. Databases can be helpful in providing an overview of species within a genus, including their distributions and frequency of use. This study compared two databases and an online resource for species inventory, and found that each has its advantages and disadvantages. The choice of database depends on the research question and time constraints.

Summary: This study investigated the association between objective baropodometric and radiological measurements and patient self-reported functional outcomes. The findings suggest that static baropodometry may not be a reliable predictor of short-term clinical outcomes after unilateral total knee arthroplasty (TKA).

Summary: This study aimed to understand the perspectives of police officers on the costs associated with healthcare delivery to watch-house detainees in Queensland, Australia, and to evaluate the applicability of the Prison Healthcare Expenditure Reporting Checklist (PHERC) in the Australian watch-house context. The findings revealed that healthcare expenditure was considered a significant but unavoidable cost for Australian watch-houses, including direct costs of in-house healthcare services, medication, and health-related consumables, as well as indirect costs of escorting and guarding detainees during hospital transfers. The study suggested further research on the cost-effectiveness of different watch-house healthcare delivery models and measurement methods.

Summary: This study aimed to assess the utility of the Short-Form HIV Disability Questionnaire (SF-HDQ) in clinical practice. Using a mixed methods study design involving questionnaire administration and semistructured interviews, we found that the SF-HDQ was considered sensible and useful by both adults living with HIV and HIV clinicians. It accurately captured the health challenges and episodic nature of HIV, and had applications in measuring health challenges, guiding referral and goal-setting, facilitating communication, and promoting multidisciplinary care.

Summary: Developing higher order cognitive skills is crucial for students to think critically and apply their knowledge in various situations. This study examines the impact of including these skills in teaching and assessment on students' perception of learning, using a combination of quantitative and qualitative data. The findings provide insights into improving biology education and understanding when students recognize and value higher order cognitive skills.

Summary: Short leave is an important tool for resocialization in forensic psychiatric treatment, but the risk of absconding during leave must be assessed. However, there is a lack of research and standardization in predicting incidents during leave. Existing risk assessment tools for reoffending may not be suitable for assessing risk during short leave. This article provides an overview of four instruments for decision-making on short leave and highlights the need for further research to reduce absconding rates.

Summary: The study aims to understand how learners describe their experiences in short-term introductory maker experiences and to test a method for authentic assessment of short-term learning. By analyzing written responses from participants at a two-day event, the authors found that seemingly passive moments in activities had a significant impact on learners, with some working in tandem with tools and others viewing tools as working autonomously. The assessment method provided insights into how learners describe their experiences and implications for understanding short-term learning events.

Summary: This study aims to explore the meaning of conscience and its impact on nurses' practice in the ICU. A qualitative research approach was used, and data analysis resulted in the formation of two main categories and seven subcategories. Conscience plays an essential role in providing ethical care among ICU nurses, and they feel the need to go above and beyond to keep their conscience clear.

Summary: This study found that nursing staff mainly perceive their conscience as an authority, asset, and warning signal, with workload impact on family life being the most common source of stress. Factors strongly associated with burnout include dealing with incompatible demands, workload impact on family life, witnessing insulated patients, inability to meet one's standards in providing care, and perception of conscience as a burden.

Summary: This study aimed to explore the strategies used by surgical nurses to enhance their pain management skills. Forty surgical nurses with at least six years of experience in caring for patients with pain participated in the study. They answered open-ended questions regarding the pain management program based on policy documents. The study identified three key themes: partnering, disrupting, and becoming familiar with pain management concerns. The strategies adopted by surgical nurses in acute and chronic pain management units include problem-solving for patients and promoting pain management strategies to address health challenges. The findings highlight the importance of enhancing pain management competencies in nursing and employing state-of-the-art healthcare technologies. The strategies employed by surgical nurses can improve the quality of nursing care, particularly in post-surgery recovery time. It is recommended to involve patients, their families, and multidisciplinary care teams in other healthcare fields.
