Summary: This study investigates a wide range of factors potentially explaining software build breakages, with a focus on features such as build history, author, code complexity, and code smells. Results show that these features are the most important predictors of build failures, achieving high precision and recall in balanced project datasets but lower performance in imbalanced datasets. Cross-project prediction using models trained on balanced datasets leads to an average improvement in precision and recall on imbalanced projects.

Summary: This study examines why some M&A deals are withdrawn, highlighting the impact of economic freedom and legal environment of countries. The research findings show that higher economic freedom/legal environment in the acquiring (target) firm's country leads to higher likelihood of deal withdrawal. Additionally, factors such as larger target firm size, lower profitability, and smaller acquiring firm size increase the chances of deal withdrawal.

Summary: Most high-profile disasters are followed by demands for investigation, but political pressures and lack of good social science methods often lead to flawed postmortems. Psychological biases also contribute to these flawed investigations.

Summary: Understanding the influence of environmental conditions and disturbance types on species' nest success is crucial for estimating population trajectories of vulnerable species. Hierarchical Bayesian models provide a powerful tool for predicting current and future species-environment relations.

Summary: This study examines the failure of Indigenous public policies in Chile by analyzing the interdependence between policy design and implementation processes, as well as the cultural and political dimensions of Indigenous peoples. The research highlights the importance of identifying the main dimensions that affect policy outcomes and the limited influence of the political dimension on policy failures. Overall, it contributes to the broader literature on policy failure and assessment of Indigenous policies.

Summary: Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) could soon be the most common type of acute heart failure, but there is still a lack of specific diagnostic criteria and definition. Acute HFpEF may be overdiagnosed in patients presenting with acute dyspnoea.

Summary: The normal chromosomal constitution determined by PGT-A is the strongest predictor for embryo implantation, but its positive predictive value is limited. The causes of reproductive failure in euploid blastocysts, known as "the black box of implantation," are not well understood.

Summary: This paper focuses on corporate-led efforts to stop deforestation and identifies four reasons behind their failure: global trade and supply-chain obscurity, power dynamics in supply chains, neglected consumption in emerging economies, and diluted goal setting. We call upon corporate sustainability scholars to develop novel corporate sustainability initiatives that can address the complex challenge of deforestation. We propose three broad areas of research to advance scholarship on the role of corporate sustainability in stopping deforestation: zero-deforestation supply chains, zero-deforestation consumption, and nature-positive business models.

Summary: This study examines the critical failure factors (CFFs) of various process improvement projects and proposes a mitigation framework. Through a literature review, the authors identify factors such as resistance to cultural change, lack of top management support, inadequate training and education, poor communication, and lack of resources as primary causes of project failures. The study provides practical implications for researchers and project managers and introduces a novel approach based on change management theory to minimize the risk of failure associated with process improvement.

Summary: Ivabradine is effective in controlling heart rate when initiated in patients with acute heart failure, but it does not seem to provide significant benefits in reducing heart failure hospitalization, all-cause hospitalization, and mortality after one year.
