Towards a systems approach to built asset safety: challenges and an agenda

This Element is a survey of the field of pathographies of mental illness. It explores classic texts in the field as well as other selected contemporary memoirs. In doing so, the reader is introduced to psychiatric information about various mental illnesses through a narrative lens, emphasizing experience. Because clinical research is evidenced-based and aims to produce generalizable knowledge (i.e., trends), the reading of pathographies can complement these findings with practical experiential insights. By pairing psychiatric information with pathographies, certain personal themes become apparent that are different from the empirical trends identified by scientific and medical researchers. Based on the survey presented here, this Element identifies seven such themes, laying the foundation for future research, inquiry, practice, and policy.

Background Transgender and gender diverse (TGD) children and youth face significant disparities when accessing healthcare. Telehealth has become a promising strategy for improving healthcare access. The experiences of TGD children and youth using telehealth to access healthcare are poorly understood. Aim To synthesize the current evidence on TGD children and youths’ experiences using telehealth. Methods A meta-ethnography was conducted on seven papers examining TGD children and youths’ experiences with telehealth. Results The main findings expressed by TGD children and youth regarding their experiences of telehealth encompassed the themes of feeling safe, feeling seen, ease of access, and technological affordances. Discussion We propose a model to consider when designing telehealth for TGD children and youth entitled Trans-IT, incorporating the four key themes: feeling safe, feeling seen, ease of access, and technological affordances. Overall, this study identifies the range of user experiences that influence the accessibility and relevance of care available through telehealth for TGD children and youth and provides a foundation for future policy, practice, and research.

With traditional knowledge passing through generations and habits of indigenous people, the local communities perform a crucial role in managing the environment and development. It should be the Local communities who should be involved in the conservation and management of the wetland resources, however, increasing government controls and prohibitions are harming wetland conservation, which potentially promotes responsible use habits in the region. This literature review investigates the role of traditional knowledge systems (TKS) in wetland conservation, focusing on four key domains: agriculture, fishing practices, stormwater management, and traditional knowledge of wetland plants and produce harvesting. This review methodologically synthesizes current research to provide a thorough understanding of the contribution of traditional knowledge to wetland conservation efforts. It does this by using a total selection of 68 papers within a range of five to ten articles per category. Using the PRISMA(Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) methods of literature review as a guide, this study identifies, evaluates, and synthesizes peer-reviewed and localized publications that examine the application of Traditional knowledge systems to various wetland management contexts, drawing from scholarly databases and pertinent literature sources. By delving into diverse disciplines such as environmental engineering, ecology, and environmental science, the review elucidates the multifaceted ways in which indigenous wisdom informs conservation practices, fosters sustainable resource utilization, and enhances community resilience in wetland ecosystems. Moreover, it examines the challenges and opportunities associated with integrating traditional and scientific knowledge paradigms, emphasizing the need for inclusive and participatory approaches to conservation that respect cultural diversity and local knowledge systems. The results of the literature study have been compiled to highlight several traditional systems for wetland conservation. These include traditional stormwater management in wetland watersheds, resource management by local communities, the use of wetland plants in conservation, traditional fishing practices, traditional agricultural practices, and religious and cultural practices. The findings of this review contribute valuable insights to academia, policy development, and on-the-ground conservation efforts, serving as a foundation for future research and practice aimed at promoting the holistic and equitable stewardship of wetland ecosystems. This paper concludes with suggestions on using traditional knowledge systems in the conservation of wetlands in India, along with the different traditional methods that could be part and parcel of the decision-making system in this field. The results of this paper are highly significant, as they demonstrate the integration of traditional knowledge systems as a method for environmental conservation and management, specifically targeting wetland ecosystems and their biota.

The increasing adoption of commercial-off-the-shelf infrastructure components and the rising integration of sensors into assets have led to a notable proliferation of operational data in industrial systems. As a result, a significant portion of investment and risk management decisions now heavily rely on the provenance and quality of heterogeneous data, sourced both internally and externally from specific industrial systems. This paper presents a review that covers three critical aspects of data quality: first, ensuring data quality through deliberate design; second, understanding the dynamic interplay between data and its users within sociotechnical systems; and third, attributing ongoing value to data resources as their roles evolve. These aspects are examined through a lens encompassing both traditional and the state-of-the-art theoretical frameworks for defining data quality. In addition, we incorporate insights from contemporary empirical research and highlight relevant industry standards and best practice guidelines. The synthesised insights serve as a practical foundation and reference for researchers and industry professionals alike, enabling them to refine and advance their understanding of data quality within the landscape of data-driven industries.

Multilingual learners (MLs) represent an increasing proportion of public school students. Although much attention has been given to their academic performance in English language arts and math, less research has addressed their academic performance in science, particularly in elementary school. This study leveraged nationally representative data from the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study of 2010–2011 to document the science test score trajectories of MLs from kindergarten through fifth grade. Using descriptive statistics and regression analyses, our findings document wide variation in elementary science test performance among subgroups of MLs while also documenting the rapid gains this group makes in science performance across the elementary years compared with non-MLs. Our study is among the first to use nationally representative data to examine science learning trajectories of MLs and provides a foundation for policy, practice, and future research aimed at understanding how the linguistic assets of MLs promote science learning.

Purpose Construction organisations face increasing pressure to adopt circular economy business models (CEBM), yet there is limited understanding of the key resources needed to support this transition. Hence, this study uncovers the key resource attributes in CEBM for construction organisations. Design/methodology/approach This study adopted an exploratory sequential mixed-methods approach. Semi-structured interviews with senior construction professionals were analysed using content analysis. The findings from the interviews were used to develop the questionnaire. A total of 208 responses were collected through stratified random sampling and analysed using descriptive statistics, Kruskal–Wallis tests, and confirmatory factor analysis to validate the findings. Findings The analysis showed that all estimated model parameters met the required fit indexes. In addition, the findings confirmed the significant influence of the seven key resource attributes in CEBM for construction organisations: sustainable construction sites, operating in energy-efficient buildings, energy from renewable sources, direct visualisation of materials through digitalisation, substituting resources with better-performing materials, circular sourcing and land restoration. Practical implications The findings present a structured approach to identifying the key resources construction organisations need to deliver circular value propositions to different client segments. Thus, it provides a guide for construction organisations seeking to implement the CEBM. Originality/value This study combines qualitative insights and quantitative validation to explore how key resources influence CEBM in construction, an area not previously studied. It fills a clear research gap and offers a foundation for future circular construction research and practice.

BackgroundDespite growth in implementation research, limited scientific attention has focused on understanding and improving sustainability of health interventions. Models of sustainability have been evolving to reflect challenges in the fit between intervention and context.DiscussionWe examine the development of concepts of sustainability, and respond to two frequent assumptions —'voltage drop,’ whereby interventions are expected to yield lower benefits as they move from efficacy to effectiveness to implementation and sustainability, and 'program drift,’ whereby deviation from manualized protocols is assumed to decrease benefit. We posit that these assumptions limit opportunities to improve care, and instead argue for understanding the changing context of healthcare to continuously refine and improve interventions as they are sustained. Sustainability has evolved from being considered as the endgame of a translational research process to a suggested 'adaptation phase’ that integrates and institutionalizes interventions within local organizational and cultural contexts. These recent approaches locate sustainability in the implementation phase of knowledge transfer, but still do not address intervention improvement as a central theme. We propose a Dynamic Sustainability Framework that involves: continued learning and problem solving, ongoing adaptation of interventions with a primary focus on fit between interventions and multi-level contexts, and expectations for ongoing improvement as opposed to diminishing outcomes over time.SummaryA Dynamic Sustainability Framework provides a foundation for research, policy and practice that supports development and testing of falsifiable hypotheses and continued learning to advance the implementation, transportability and impact of health services research.

Therapeutic education has evolved during the past decade as part of collaborative efforts by educators and clinicians to find new and better ways of helping emotionally disturbed children. Meeting the special educational needs of these children has necessitated the development of a shared conceptual and practical orientation. This article describes one such collaborative effort in a day treatment center and school with stress on educational implementation of a psychiatric treatment program.

In Foundations of Ethical Practice, Research, and Teaching in Psychology and Counseling, Kitchener and Anderson lay a conceptual foundation for thinking well about ethical problems. Whereas the first edition focused mainly on ethical reasoning and decision making, this new edition draws more explicitly on all components of James Rest's model of moral/ethical behavior, including moral/ethical sensitivity, moral/ethical decision making, moral/ethical motivation, and the ego strength to follow through on the decision. The book addresses five key principles of ethical decision making and includes updated sections on research, teaching and supervision, and practice. It discusses the relationship of the ethical principles and the model of ethical decision-making to professional ethical codes, while offering discussion questions, case scenarios, and activities to help the reader focus on ethical character and virtue. Foundations of Ethical Practice, Research, and Teaching in Psychology and Counseling gives psychologists, students, and trainees the tools they need to analyze their own ethical quandaries and take the right action.

Clear and consistent terminology is fundamental for advancing smart technology and sustainability agendas. This Teaching Paper presents a structured glossary of foundational terms that span digital systems, sustainability frameworks, and policy tools. Each entry includes a concise definition and a practical note linking the concept to real-world applications in non-profit and policy contexts. The glossary covers technologies such as AI, IoT, blockchain, and smart grids, alongside frameworks including the circular economy, lifecycle assessment, and the SDGs. A case-based example from India demonstrates how these terms intersect in practice, while reflection questions and guidance on limitations encourage critical application. Designed as both a learning and reference resource, this paper supports academics, policymakers, and practitioners in building shared understanding and capacity for effective implementation.
