Summary: This work proposes a framework for decentralized multi-agent systems to improve the implicit coordination capabilities in search and pursuit. The proposed distributed algorithm-FSC2 resolves the challenges of distributed self-organizing search, distributed task allocation, and distributed single-target pursuit in the multi-target SOP problem. Experimental results show that FSC2 outperforms other methods in solving multi-target SOP tasks.

Summary: This study examines the assessment-related attitudes and experiences of evaluation anxiety among first-year university students. The findings suggest that evaluation anxiety is caused by factors such as doubts about capabilities, time management concerns, external pressures for success, unclear institutional quality standards, and worries about certain types of assessment. Students reported that oral presentations and high-stakes written tasks were more anxiety-inducing, while high-stakes written tasks, low-stakes tests, and low-stakes written tasks were perceived as more effective for learning. The implications of assessment design for facilitating learning and reducing unnecessary evaluation anxiety are discussed.

Summary: Lyme disease, caused by Borrelia burgdorferi, is the most common vector-borne illness in the US. The etiology behind antibiotic treatment failure of Lyme disease is debated among scientists and medical professionals. This review examines the evidence supporting or challenging proposed mechanisms, such as autoimmune responses, long-term sequelae, and spirochete persistence. Additionally, it discusses next generation treatments and research for predicting treatment responses and outcomes.

Summary: This study aims to evaluate the value and strength of a competency framework for identifying and measuring performance requirements for expeditionary surgeons, verify the psychometric integrity of assessment instrumentation for measuring domain knowledge and skills, identify gaps in knowledge and skills capabilities using assessment strategies, and examine the shared variance between knowledge and skills outcomes and the volume and diversity of routine surgical practice. By identifying and implementing strategies for closing performance gap areas, we provide a positive process for assuring surgical competency and clinical readiness.

Summary: This study developed a tablet-based application called U-Fraction to assist students in learning fractions with authentic contextual support. The experimental group that learned fractions using U-Fraction outperformed the control group that used traditional teaching methods. Peer and teacher assessments based on multiple representations were found to improve student learning and assessment. Students perceived the use of U-Fraction positively in terms of usability and learning ease.

Summary: China has set ambitious carbon neutrality targets and assessed the progress of its provinces in low-carbon sustainable development using a six-dimensional index system. The study reveals that most provinces have made progress towards carbon neutrality, but there is still room for improvement. Regional disparities in carbon neutralization scores are widening, indicating a significant regional imbalance.

Summary: This article proposes a new competency test model for vocational education schools in Central Java, Indonesia in order to improve students' test results and enhance their job prospects. A study conducted among 100 students and 50 teachers from 10 vocational education schools in Central Java showed that the new 'Discontinuity' model significantly improved students' test scores. The implementation of this model allowed students to take breaks between each task, reducing fatigue and stress levels, ultimately leading to better performance.

Summary: This study used a design-based research framework to pilot a new approach for improving professional decision making. The results showed that clinicians gained new insights into their decision making processes and benefited from individual reflection and sharing with others. The qualitative data also suggested that decision making was influenced by various factors, including team dynamics, socio-evaluative stressors, and organizational and societal factors.

Summary: This study found significant differences in the experiences of receiving feedback between male and female internal medicine residents. Women often faced conflicting feedback from different attendings, leading to self-censorship, which was rarely noted in men. Female residents in internal medicine integrate multiple forms of feedback to create the persona of a woman physician.

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: This study examines the experience of remediation in practising physicians and finds that it poses a threat to their professional and personal identity. Physicians undergoing remediation often feel threatened by regulatory bodies or try to find the best solution in difficult situations. It is important to support physicians in dealing with this identity threat and ensure that assessment and remediation processes do not lead remediatees to see themselves as victims.

Summary: This study explored the conceptualizations of expertise held by recently graduated physical therapists and found that they were in a transitional state regarding their understanding of expertise. They sometimes focused on knowledge acquisition and routinization of practice as the hallmark of expertise, while other times they acknowledged the need for more dynamic and adaptive problem-solving approaches. The results also suggested that the interview itself played a key role in prompting participants to reflect on these issues.

Summary: Professor Marion Bogo's work focused on advocating for high quality assessment of social work students, resulting in the development of meaningful and authentic field assessment tools that incorporate specific skills and higher-order thinking. This article highlights two conceptual limitations in assessing social work students in the field: the importance of broader conceptualizations of practice and the influence of field instructors' relationships with students on assessment. Efforts to develop authentic tools to capture field instructors' observations are also discussed.

Summary: This study investigates the optimal timing and mode of delivery for feedback from the perspective of both providers and receivers. Interviews with 16 internal medicine residents who have dual roles in providing and receiving feedback were conducted and analyzed using constructivist grounded theory. The results suggest that residents consider multiple factors, including their readiness, the learner's receptiveness, and the urgency of feedback delivery, when deciding on when and how to provide feedback. Face-to-face verbal feedback encourages dialogue but may be uncomfortable and limited by time constraints. Written feedback can be more honest and concise, and asynchronous delivery has the potential to overcome timing and discomfort issues.
