Summary: The measurement of social and emotional learning (SEL) implementation is crucial for enhancing and understanding its effects. High-quality SEL implementation is associated with positive outcomes, but practical approaches for measuring and supporting implementation have lagged behind measuring student outcomes. Research-practitioner partnerships (RPP) can be a promising means to address this gap. This paper offers practical strategies using an RPP example to measure and use SEL implementation data in schools, including considerations for data collection decisions and analysis.

Summary: The Access to COVID-19 Tools Accelerator (ACT-A) is a multi-stakeholder initiative aiming to achieve equitable access to COVID-19 health technologies. However, its governance faces challenges in terms of unclear organizational roles, lack of a clearly defined decision making body, and the indiscernible role of governments.

Summary: This study derived and analyzed mass-action models for disease spread that include transient pair formation and dissociation. The effective equations were obtained by perturbation expansion, showcasing how effective nonlinear transmission can arise from pairing dynamics and contrasting with density-based and frequency-based models.

Summary: The purpose of this study is to measure the concurrent validity of the Athletic Skills Track (AST) by examining its correlation with the holistic judgments of experts about movement quality. The results show that the holistic ratings of movement quality by teachers are significantly correlated with AST time, indicating that higher ratings are associated with shorter completion time. In addition to holistic ratings, age also explains part of the variance in AST time, while gender does not. This study suggests that the AST has good concurrent validity and can provide a fast, indirect indication of movement quality.

Summary: The aim of this study is to explore the formation of cross-sector partnerships (CSPs) and their dynamics in specific places. The research shows that partnerships and place have a reciprocal relationship, where the morality and materiality of a place influence the behavior of partners. The authors identify three intertwined place-specific ethics - recognition, care, and resilience - that bind CSPs and place. Examples of emplaced CSPs embody these ethics and offer hope for the sustainability of local communities.

Summary: The study introduces a microfluidic device capable of evaluating red blood cell deformability and adhesiveness, demonstrating slower perfusion rates for sickle red blood cells compared to normal red blood cells in LN-coated networks. This indicates the potential utility of the device for assessing novel therapies in SCD patients.

Summary: The study found that heterosexual Black men with multiple concurrent sexual partners in Ontario were more likely to test for HIV. Additionally, being an immigrant, having good knowledge of HIV transmission, and earning lower annual income predicted higher odds of testing, while sexual debut between the ages of 16 and 20, no recent healthcare provider visit, and difficulty accessing healthcare significantly decreased the likelihood of HIV testing.

Summary: The way social problems are constructed within social partnerships has significant effects on their management, impact, and survival. This study explores the construction of social problems through a social-symbolic work perspective, highlighting the different forms of work involved and the contextual impact. Two social partnerships in Turkey that addressed gender inequality were examined, and it was found that the construction of the problem varied based on the types of social-symbolic work they engaged in. The study also revealed that different constructions of the problem led to different outcomes. This research contributes to the understanding of social partnerships, social-symbolic work, and gender inequality within organizations.

Summary: The study aimed to evaluate whether an adapted DHS-type survey can validate HDSS data. The results showed that the survey reasonably represented the population size and structure in the Farafenni HDSS database, but had lower coverage in the Basse HDSS database. Childhood mortality indicators were generally consistent across different time periods.

Summary: The study compared the causes of death for women who died during pregnancy and within the first 42 days postpartum with those of women who died between >42 days and within 1 year postpartum. The results showed that deaths from HIV and TB, other infectious diseases, and non-communicable diseases constituted a significantly larger proportion of late pregnancy-related deaths beyond 42 days postpartum. Health system failures were also identified as important factors in these deaths. The contribution of HIV and TB to deaths beyond 42 days postpartum was greatest in Southern Africa.
