Summary: Currently, recommending secure collaboration plans for multiple workflow processes with dynamic relations has become a hot topic, as it can reduce risks during execution and prevent financial losses caused by security breaches. However, existing methods fail to solve the parametric problem caused by dynamic relations or recommend optimal collaboration plans due to erroneous information. This article proposes a new approach to recommend security-aware collaboration plans for multiple workflow processes with dynamic relations.

Summary: This study examines the impact of Medicaid expansion on plan composition and enrollee experience among Medicaid managed care organization (MCO) enrollees. The results show that Medicaid expansion is associated with a decrease in the proportion of female enrollees and an increase in the proportion of enrollees aged 55 to 64 years and non-Hispanic White enrollees. MCO enrollees in expansion states are less likely to report having a personal doctor and timely access to specialty care in the first year after expansion, but these differences are not statistically significant in the second year.

Summary: Animal slaughter and related activities should not increase the risks in meat, but rather minimize or maintain them at an acceptable level. This concept is widely accepted worldwide, which is why regulations are continuously being developed to mitigate meat hazards and protect consumers. Similarly, a hazard analysis plan is needed for small wild ungulate meat to improve its safety. This investigation emphasizes the importance of establishing forums and implementing a comprehensive health plan to control hazards and promote meat safety solutions in these communities. A basic hygiene slaughter plan endorsed by all forum members is necessary to control microbiological, chemical, and physical hazards from farm-to-fork, within the framework of game meat policies and regulations.

Summary: This paper studies the impact of active collaboration among suppliers on the supply and demand instability of consumer goods, discussing the ideal value of supply chain inventory control. The new inventory control method helps reduce inventory shortage losses due to uncertainty in daily consumer goods, improving supply chain efficiency and enhancing the liquidity of supply chain inventory to increase economic value. The results suggest that horizontal collaboration between suppliers can improve the completeness of consumer goods and decrease total inventory costs for manufacturers, ultimately increasing profits.

Summary: Trauma-informed care and practice (TICP) has been gaining international attention since the mid-1990s, but its recent adoption in Australia faces barriers such as a lack of training and education opportunities. Studies in Australia have shown that TICP training is mainly focused on the healthcare sector for nursing professionals, improving knowledge, confidence, and approaches to care. Training is commonly delivered through one-day workshops and brief web-based approaches, signaling a need for consensus on TICP content and ongoing commitment from stakeholders and funding bodies.

Summary: An increasing number of children are being diagnosed with psychiatric disorders, which have both short-term and long-term impacts on their lives and self-understanding. This paper critically examines the moral implications of psychiatric diagnoses for children, including the uncertainties surrounding accuracy, treatment efficacy, and long-term effects. It also explores the challenges in identifying, diagnosing, and treating childhood mental illness, and emphasizes the importance of child agency, rights, and the need for alternative ways of addressing child distress. The author argues for questioning and critiquing systems of psychiatric diagnosis for children and promoting social and political responsibilities to prevent childhood adversity.

Summary: Internationally, there is increasing emphasis on the need for high-level research participation in mental health. However, evidence suggests that people with lived experience are often recruited as subjects rather than active agents in research, or are tokenistically consulted. Participatory research has the potential to rectify these disparities, but few studies have addressed the transition from exclusion and tokenism to high-level research participation. This paper presents a qualitative co-evaluation of a co-produced model of research partnership, Raising the Bar, which established and facilitated six participatory research teams, comprising lived experience and traditional mental health researchers. The findings indicate that the model set high standards and enabled research teams to address inconsistencies in knowledge about participation. It also equipped researchers with the skills and resources for participatory research and challenged traditional research outputs to make research accessible to affected communities. However, systemic barriers to participatory research remain and must be acknowledged and addressed to promote a culture of high-level research participation.
