Summary: Familiarity with a voice can significantly improve speech intelligibility, even after just a short period of exposure, regardless of the length of exposure. The intelligibility benefit for a familiar voice can be as large as that for voices that are naturally very familiar, showing the importance of voice familiarity in understanding speech in noisy environments.

Summary: Dual-class shares may violate the 'one share-one vote' principle, creating agency problems. Insiders face a trade-off between the private benefits of control and the value of their cash-flow claims on the firm, resulting in a negative relationship between the voting premium and the expected present value of firm cash flows.

Summary: Different dimensional vanadium oxide (VOx) nanostructures were synthesized and their electrochemical performance was investigated, with the donut-like structure showing the best pseudocapacitive performance. The synergy effect between mixed-valence and the unique donut-like geometry contributes to the excellent electrochemical properties, indicating high potential for VOx nanostructures as electrode materials for supercapacitors.

Summary: This study investigates the methods of comparing control interventions during disease outbreaks using mathematical modelling. Existing methods have limitations, and this study proposes a new approach of combining rankings of interventions instead of model projections. The results suggest that this method provides similar recommendations with fewer assumptions about model comparability.

Summary: Understanding the psychological basis of individuals' voting intentions is crucial as it can have an impact on political developments. This study investigated the associations between individuals' satisfaction of Maslow's five basic needs and their voting intentions in a German sample, and compared these findings with associations between personality traits and voting intentions.

Summary: In this article, a series of FeOx-VOx mixed oxides were prepared using the sol-gel method, and their performance in removing Hg0 was evaluated. The introduction of VOx improved the adsorption capacity of Hg0. Throughout the adsorption process, chemisorption dominated, with VOx and Fe3+ playing important roles. The FeOx-VOx adsorbent showed satisfactory regeneration performance in flue gas containing NO or SO2, indicating its potential for practical applications.

Summary: By utilizing density functional theory calculations, the study demonstrates the relationship between the coordinative environment of V in the VOx/TiO2 catalyst and the catalytic activity towards Hg-0 oxidation, as well as the effect of hydroxylation. Mechanistic estimation of the Hg-0 oxidation activity and calculation of the thermodynamic stabilities of the catalyst models suggest thermodynamic conditions that favor high catalytic activity.

Summary: This paper calls for support from Indigenous nurse academics worldwide to promote policies and resources for equitable Indigenous health outcomes. It highlights the importance of Indigenous nurses providing nursing leadership. The study found that Indigenous nurses influence the health outcomes of Indigenous Peoples through various strategies, including Indigenous nationhood and reconciliation, Indigenous nursing leadership, Indigenous workforce strategies, development of culturally safe practice and Indigenous models of care, and Indigenous nurse activism. The work of Indigenous nurses is crucial for improving the health outcomes of Indigenous Peoples.

Summary: The continued use of deficit discourse in researching Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples of Australia is problematic. An Indigenist review was conducted to amplify the voices of Aboriginal young people and emphasize the strength and resilience within their historical, social, and political contexts. The review highlighted the importance of culture and connection to the health and well-being of Aboriginal young people.

Summary: This article discusses the lunatic asylums that were established as part of the civic infrastructure during British colonization in the 18th and 19th centuries in Australia. By examining primary and secondary sources from the 19th century, including patient lists, medical files, and government correspondence, the experiences of Indigenous Australians admitted to the earliest lunatic asylums in Australia are revealed. Understanding the impact of colonial lunatic asylums on Indigenous Australians provides nurses and other health professionals with historical literacy and highlights the importance of culturally safe mental health services.

Summary: This study provides the first detailed composition characterization of edible Araucaria bidwillii (bunya nut) from Australia, while the composition of edible pinhao and pinones nuts from Brazil and Chile has been previously established. The bunya nut is shown to contain high moisture content and starch as the main component in the dried kernel. Although low in protein and fat, it contains all essential amino acids and has a good amount of polyunsaturated fatty acids. The nut is also a source of dietary fiber, folate, and minerals, while the husks and inner coating are rich in phenolics. The similarities in composition among the three different edible varieties can assist in developing sustainable value chain propositions through shared processing and utilization knowledge.

Summary: This study examines the historical trauma experienced by Aboriginal young people due to colonization. Data analysis is conducted using a place-based approach called winanga-li, which incorporates Aboriginal perspectives and a reflective analysis from a standpoint of Country and relationality. The study found that the impact of historical trauma on young people's identity varies and is highly dependent on their experiences within different spaces. These experiences can strengthen or disrupt their identities, creating both social strength and disruption. The article highlights the importance of young people's insights and suggests a way forward, emphasizing the connection to Country, culture, Elders, and community for future generations.

Summary: This study aimed to explore how undergraduate nursing students respond to patient aggression in a simulated patient care scenario and to help them develop de-escalation management skills. The results showed that the students reported high levels of stress and various emotional responses, but also gained new insights into strategies to diffuse volatile situations. The use of a standardized patient enhanced the authenticity of the experience.
