Summary: Administrative procedures aim to increase transparency and assist agencies in making better decisions, but these requirements also increase the workload of agencies. This study analyzes the language used in Environmental Impact Statements (EISs) required by the US National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), specifically focusing on the reuse of boilerplate text. The findings suggest that text reuse occurs primarily in cases where there is a substantive rationale or shared authors/consulting firms.

Summary: The study investigates how residents and newly graduated physicians participate in the hidden curriculum, finding that they navigate it for professional development, intervene in others' enactment, and seek to repair it for the next generation through teaching. The findings suggest the need for more research on how early career physicians engage with the hidden curriculum, support for students and educators to understand their impact on it, and the potential of residents and early career physicians to influence the hidden curriculum through learning environments they create.

Summary: Online learning during the COVID-19 pandemic has had detrimental effects on student academic performance and overall wellbeing. To address this, the author modified their Environmental Science course to incorporate interactive, outdoor learning experiences that aimed to support student mental wellness and foster a connection with nature. Through purposeful inquiry and exploration, students were able to develop a greater understanding of nature as a complex adaptive system, leading to positive changes in their attitudes towards the environment.

Summary: This work explores multiple attention mechanisms for graph similarity learning. The proposed method includes a hybrid of graph convolution and graph self-attention for node embedding learning, a cross graph co-attention module for graph interaction modeling, a similarity-wise self-attention module for graph similarity matrix alignment, and graph similarity matrix learning for predicting the similarity scores. Extensive experimental results on three challenging benchmarks demonstrate the superiority of the proposed NA-GSL method in graph similarity estimation.

Summary: In this essay, the author examines three manuscripts that discuss centering equity in peer review by Bancroft, Ryoo and Miles, Nkrumah and Mutegi, and Marshall and Salter. The author considers the implications for journals and funding organizations and presents recommendations for more equitable peer review processes, including the need to address biases and support marginalized communities. Further considerations include the relationship between equity and merit in peer review and the importance of fostering discussion and development in the field.

Summary: This study explores the role of agency, identity, and structure in publicly funded plastic surgeries by examining the narratives of Australian women waiting for and going through abdominoplasty in the public system. The findings suggest that women adopt a 'deserving' identity to navigate the complex structures that govern publicly funded healthcare, which may impact patterns of social life.

Summary: Pedestrian Attribute Recognition (PAR) is an emerging research topic in video surveillance, requiring simultaneous analysis of numerous attributes. However, different attributes focus on different image regions, making it difficult to extract exhaustive features. To address this, the proposed approach utilizes the Attribute Localization Module (ALM) and Attribute Correlation Module (ACM). ALM employs a multi-stream architecture with an attention mechanism to discover and enhance attribute-related features, while ACM explores correlations among attributes using the Transformer structure. The combination of ALM and ACM in a unified network, named EALC, demonstrates effectiveness and advancement in pedestrian attribute recognition.

Summary: This paper investigates how data scientists construct their occupational identity and the challenges they encounter in doing so through semi-structured interviews with data scientists from different industries. The study identifies three main components of data scientists' occupational identity: a scientific mindset, an interest in sophisticated data work, and a problem-solving attitude. Data scientists address the challenges by conducting educational work within their organizations and emphasizing both prestigious and non-prestigious aspects of their work to meet managers' expectations.
