Summary: The Yale Animal Resource Cost and Benchmarking survey compares the financial situations of academic animal research/resource centers in the US and European Union. The survey found that both regions have similar compositions in per diem rates, but US programs generally have large deficits while European Union programs have small positive net-operating balances. Both regions are reluctant to raise per diem rates, resulting in under-recovering costs and financial challenges for the animal programs.

Summary: In the past two decades, social work education has been emphasizing the importance of including trauma-related content in educational programs. However, there is limited information available on the current status of trauma education and training in social work programs. The study aimed to describe the current state of trauma education and training in accredited social work programs in North America, based on data from a survey of social work educators. Most programs reported integrating trauma education into existing courses, indicating recognition of the importance of trauma education in their programming. However, more evaluation is needed to identify specific trauma content being presented.

Summary: This study investigates economic self-sufficiency and the impact of health status on self-sufficiency for immigrants. The proportion of self-sufficiency during years 1-10 after receiving a residence permit is compared between non-European labour immigrants, refugees, and Swedish-born individuals. Cox regression models are used to analyze the risk of not being self-sufficient in year 10, and the results show that both labour immigrants and refugees have a higher risk compared to Swedish-born individuals. The impact of having a diagnosis from specialised health care on self-sufficiency is also analyzed.

Summary: The behavior of married immigrant women in relation to fertility and labor markets is vital for understanding the economic and cultural integration of immigrant households. Recent research reveals that a significant number of married immigrant women face similar labor supply decisions and barriers as native-born married women. This applies to Canadian immigrant women as well, with a gradual convergence to the outcomes of the Canadian-born population, although at a slower pace than immigrant men.
