Summary: The study aimed to identify the learning strategies used by medical students with high Grit and design an intervention to assist those with low Grit over a three-month course. Through a mixed-methods approach and an intervention, it was found that good planning, mastery learning, and self-regulation are key factors for success in Gritty students. The learning strategies known as RESET-P-GOALS were effective in enhancing Grit in students with lower Grit scores.

Summary: One year after the publication of the new WHO Global Air Quality Guidelines, the European Commission proposed revisions to align EU air quality standards with the recommendations. Using Bayesian geostatistical regression models, we estimated the number of Europeans currently exposed to harmful pollutants exceeding the suggested thresholds. The results indicate that a large percentage of Europeans are exposed to high levels of PM2.5, PM10, and NO2, highlighting the importance of achieving the European zero-pollution vision.

Summary: Despite over half of medical students in the UK being female, women are underrepresented in traditional male specialties like neurosurgery. A national survey explored the opinions and attitudes of UK neurosurgeons and trainees on gender issues, highlighting gaps in mentorship and leadership and providing ideas for change. This study should be used as a foundation to address specific questions and create a fairer, more meritocratic environment for neurosurgeons to thrive.

Summary: Patient centered care (PCC) and interprofessional collaboration (IPC) are important goals for healthcare systems. However, internal medicine residents tend to value PCC less than other healthcare professionals. Hierarchical professional attitudes and a poor understanding of allied health professional roles are barriers to IPC, while limited time for direct patient care, neglect of patients' context and social determinants of health, and lack of self-reflection are barriers to PCC.

Summary: The advancement of technology, such as AI, in medicine brings both opportunities and challenges. While AI offers improvements in diagnostic accuracy and treatment options, it also raises practical, conceptual, pedagogical, and ethical dilemmas. The widespread adoption of technology threatens to shift the focus from hands-on clinical work to technology-enhanced scenarios, potentially complicating ethical responsibilities.

Summary: This paper analyzes the conceptual structure of the field of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), examining its development and future application in business and society. By using the SciMAT software on 6861 papers from the WOS database, the research finds that the field is still not well understood and primarily focused on the interests of companies. It suggests an opportunity to reconsider the purpose of CSR by integrating other dimensions that focus on the society-business relationship. Based on these findings, the study presents new research directions to explore the drivers and outcomes of CSR.

Summary: The literature review reveals an increasing trend in diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) research in chemistry education, focusing mostly on precollege and college levels. Over the years, improvements in DEI have been significant, particularly in terms of women and historically minoritized groups. However, there is still room for improvement and suggestions include expanding research, implementing holistic reform approaches, and promoting justice- and relevance-oriented curricular reforms.

Summary: The study found a negative correlation between resilience and student burnout in China, as well as the presence of gray literature bias in student burnout that requires further validation. Additionally, there is a declining trend in resilience possibly due to the evolution of culture leading people to become more individual focused, thus reducing their collective behaviors and ability to adapt.

Summary: This study aimed to assess the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on perceived stress levels of medical students and explore the relationship between social support and stress during the pandemic. The results showed that medical students experienced higher levels of perceived stress during the outbreak, especially those with lower levels of social support. Therefore, medical schools should optimize social support to minimize crisis-induced stress.

Summary: This scoping review aims to explore international literature on structural stigma in healthcare systems specific to BPD and provide an overview of its impact on BPD consumers and their carers/families. By utilizing both quantitative and qualitative methods to analyze various sources of evidence, this study seeks to enhance the identification and understanding of structures in health systems that perpetuate stigma experienced by individuals with BPD. The findings of this review can inform future research, policy, and practice aimed at reducing stigma and improving the provision of BPD-responsive services and care.

Summary: The number of medical students seeking international opportunities has been increasing in recent years. Collaborative international programs have been developed to meet these demands. However, the benefits of these programs are limited as they only focus on student exchanges. This commentary proposes a paradigm shift to a transnational approach that involves exchanging students, faculty, and curriculum, leading to increased integration and awareness of cultural and educational approaches to treatment.

Summary: This study investigated the use of coping strategies in university students and found that distraction, deep breathing, relaxation, and social activity were commonly used healthy coping strategies, while spending time alone and eating were commonly used unhealthy coping strategies. Students who used more unhealthy strategies and fewer healthy strategies were more likely to have clinical levels of depression and anxiety symptoms. Interestingly, few students with clinical symptoms sought professional support as a coping strategy. These findings suggest the importance of monitoring and interventions for university student wellbeing.
