To explore how chief nursing officers perceive and enact their leadership within bureaucratic healthcare systems, with a particular focus on patient safety, strategic responsibilities and the advancement of nursing care quality. A qualitative study design was used. Semistructured interviews were conducted between October 2023 and May 2024 with nine female Chief Nursing Officers, representing diverse regional healthcare settings across Sweden. The interviews were analysed using reflexive thematic analysis, which was informed by the theory of bureaucratic caring to support interpretation. Chief nursing officers described navigating hierarchical and bureaucratic systems while promoting person-centred care and professional governance. Their work involved balancing strategic mandates with ethical imperatives, advocating for workforce development and fostering a culture of proactive safety. The analysis generated four interrelated themes: (1) grappling with complexity and power structures; (2) guided by ethics, compassion and purpose; (3) empowering the nursing workforce to provide improved care; and (4) shaping quality care through innovation, evidence and technology. Chief Nursing Officers can act as key agents of transformation at the intersection of structure and care. Their leadership extends beyond administrative functions to encompass strategic influence, ethical advocacy and system-level improvement. The findings underscore the need to further formalise and institutionalise the role, ensuring it is equipped with the mandate and structures required to lead across organisational levels. Strengthening such roles calls for leadership models that foster collaboration, support shared governance and enable flatter organisational hierarchies-structures designed to enhance participation, distribute decision-making and promote professional autonomy. This study followed reporting standards for qualitative research by adhering to the EQUATOR Network guidelines and using the COREQ checklist. Only health care staff participated in this study. This study highlights the strategic, ethical and relational dimensions of chief nursing officers' leadership and its impact on patient safety, quality improvement and workforce development. The findings demonstrate that they can play a pivotal role in embedding ethical perspectives into healthcare leadership-bridging professional nursing values with structural and strategic priorities. This underscores the importance of enabling nurses to shape care systems in ways that promote safety, professional governance and person-centredness.

Founded in 1925 as a 'reverse Rhodes Scholarship', the Harkness Fellowship was designed to foster international collaboration through transatlantic academic exchange. Over a century, it has evolved into a leadership programme uniting mid-career professionals from nine countries and a range of professional backgrounds to improve health systems through a year of immersion in the USA. As the fellowship marks its centennial, we reflect on what its history reveals about leading and learning across borders. This centennial reflection draws upon archival research, programme documentation, alumni interviews and individual case studies. The analysis synthesises historical shifts, strategic pivots and leadership development outcomes over the programme's 100-year history. Three core lessons emerged: (1) challenge assumptions-fellows consistently innovated by questioning entrenched practices and applying cross-cultural insights; (2) harness the power of fellowship-sustained relationships and a shared mission drive collaborative outcomes across borders and (3) embrace a multidisciplinary mindset-fellows from diverse fields have advanced more holistic approaches to healthcare reform. Real-world examples illustrate the fellowship's tangible impact and provide practical lessons for healthcare leaders across countries and sectors. The Harkness Fellowship demonstrates that leadership in healthcare demands curiosity, humility and sustained collaboration. The fellowship's story is a reminder that the ability to learn across differences remains one of the most powerful tools for change. As the programme enters its second century, its relevance will rest on staying true to its core values: shared purpose, openness to difference and collaboration across borders to drive systemic change.

Abstract In the context of rapid digital transformation and the burgeoning field of big data, the management of data providers has emerged as a critical element, heavily dependent on robust regulatory frameworks. This paradigm shift warrants a comprehensive investigation within the domain of public management. Based on the policy review, literature analysis, and conceptual clarification, this study utilizes CiteSpace for a quantitative bibliometric analysis to discern key research hotspots, emerging trends, and the historical development of the field. The findings indicate an ascending trajectory in data provider research, with significant contributions from both international and domestic scholars. Nevertheless, there exists an urgent need for enhanced collaboration across teams and institutions. Predominant countries such as the USA, Australia, and China underscore the global and collaborative nature of this research. Central themes addressed include data production, cloud computing, and data security, each varying regionally in emphasis. A notable transition is observed from foundational and academic research to practical applications and advanced technologies. Moving forward, to standardize data markets, academia should establish theoretical frameworks, integrate security governance, and refine evaluation systems. Governments should enhance legal oversight, foster cross-sector collaboration, and accelerate ecosystem development for public management modernization. Data vendors require end-to-end security compliance, technical standardization, and market-driven innovation to maintain competitive sustainability. These insights provide both theoretical and practical guidance, promoting comprehensive research and sustainable evolution in this dynamic sector.

Purpose The transition to circular economy (CE) models requires robust innovation ecosystems (IEs) that foster collaboration among diverse actors. This paper aims to map collaboration patterns within IEs for the CE (IECEs) and to explain how different actors contribute to CE development and why structural bottlenecks emerge. Design/methodology/approach The authors conduct a multilevel, directed network analysis of 276 Horizon Europe projects involving 2,364 organisations across 31 countries, examining macro (country) and micro (organisation/type-of-agent) structures. The authors compute centrality, modularity and density and assess dynamic robustness via targeted node-removal simulations. Findings Countries that are advanced in CE are not always the ones at the centre of collaboration. Coordination tends to sit with a small group of countries. At the organisational level, firms mainly secure and use funding and deliver projects, while universities and research centres connect partners and often lead coordination. The public bodies are less well integrated. The network holds together, but it leans heavily on a few highly connected players and leaves smaller clusters at the edges. If the key players step back, collaboration and the spread of CE solutions could slow. Practical implications The findings provide actionable insights for policymakers and funding bodies to refine collaboration frameworks, ensuring better alignment between innovation efforts and CE policy objectives. Social implications Strengthening collaboration within IECEs can accelerate the transition to sustainable economic models by fostering innovation-driven solutions to resource efficiency and waste reduction. Enhancing participation from diverse stakeholders, including public institutions, can contribute to more inclusive and effective CE policies. Originality/value The authors foreground the misalignment between actors’ transition mandates and their network positions and introduce role–centrality fit as a governance lens for assessing and improving IECE performance across macro- and micro-levels.

The search for dark matter has been ongoing for decades within both astrophysics and particle physics. Both fields have employed different approaches and conceived a variety of methods for constraining the properties of dark matter, but have done so in relative isolation of one another. From an astronomer's perspective, it can be challenging to interpret the results of dark matter particle physics experiments and how these results apply to astrophysical scales. Over the past few years, the ESCAPE Dark Matter Test Science Project has been developing tools to aid the particle physics community in constraining dark matter properties; however, ESCAPE itself also aims to foster collaborations between research disciplines. This is especially important in the search for dark matter, as while particle physics is concerned with detecting the particles themselves, all of the evidence for its existence lies solely within astrophysics and cosmology. Here, we present a short review of the progress made by the Dark Matter Test Science Project and their applications to existing experiments, with a view towards how this project can foster complementary with astrophysical observations.

Directed acyclic graphs (DAGs) are increasingly used to clarify assumptions, identify sources of bias, and structure reasoning about causal pathways across the health sciences. In developmental medicine, where causes often span the preconception to postnatal periods, DAGs offer a systematic way to navigate complexity. This review introduces foundational DAG concepts for clinicians and researchers in childhood-onset disability, with an emphasis on accessibility and applied relevance. We review examples involving cerebral palsy, autism, and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, showing how DAGs support confounder control, effect estimation, and study design. The figures throughout the review use a consistent, clinically grounded example to walk readers through concepts like mediation, backdoor paths, and collider bias. Beyond modeling rigor, DAGs help foster collaboration across disciplines and communicate causal structure to families and individuals with lived experience. We also show how DAGs can support intervention prioritization by identifying strategic leverage points using network measures such as node centrality and graph characteristics. Finally, we emphasize the importance of drawing DAGs before data collection, when their guidance is most actionable.

Introduction/Background: Pediatric In-Hospital Cardiac Arrest (P-IHCA) remains a critical patient safety and quality improvement issue. Conventional reviews often fail to capture early opportunities for recognition and prevention. This project addresses these gaps using structured, multidisciplinary reviews guided by experts in pediatric critical care and medical education. Research Questions/Hypothesis: Does implementing a structured, multidisciplinary review methodology with a standardized process for both immediate and retrospective evaluations improve identification of preventable factors associated with P-IHCA. Goals/Aims: To enhance early recognition of clinical deterioration. To systematically identify preventable factors and facilitate targeted interventions. To foster multidisciplinary collaboration. Methods/Approach: Structured reviews were conducted hospital-wide at a quaternary pediatric institution. The process included: (1)- Immediate (hot) debriefs capturing real-time feedback on team performance, communication, and logistics. (2)- Retrospective (cold) debriefs within one month, analyzing monitor data, patient records, and detailed staff interviews. (3)- Systematic event classification using the eStablish And Formalize Expert Criteria for Avoidable Resuscitation Review (SAFECARR) into avoidable, potentially avoidable, or unavoidable. (4)- Multidisciplinary follow-up through dedicated quality improvement pathways, maintaining expert review team involvement. Results/Data: Structured hot debriefs identified real-time issues including communication failures, medication delays, and CPR quality concerns. Structured cold debriefs provided deeper systemic insights such as delays in recognizing clinical deterioration, diagnostic errors, and escalation failures. The reviews highlighted opportunities for improving interdepartmental communication, powered multidivisional collaborative event analyses, and subsequently informing meaningful changes in hospital policies, procedures, and staff training. Conclusion(s): A structured, expert driven, multidisciplinary review process shifts event analysis from describing what happened during a cardiac arrest, to explaining why and how it occurred, thereby revealing upstream factors that improve recognition of decompensation, team response, and CPR performance. This approach facilitates targeted improvements, fostering a safer hospital environment, and potentially improving patient outcomes.

ABSTRACT Between 1811 and 1830, Bentham engaged in extensive correspondence with politicians in many countries, advocating for adopting his codification proposal. He argued that the government should actively seek proposals for codification. In this open proposal competition, Bentham's codification initiative would have been one of many proposals. He would have had to compete with other codifiers for public recognition and, ultimately, approval from the constituted authority. Bentham's codification proposal was designed to foster political collaboration between codifiers, domestic political authorities, and social members. In this process, Bentham would have been responsible for the universal part, while local legislators would have played a crucial role in handling the local part. Therefore, it is a misinterpretation to suggest that Bentham's codification proposal would have suppressed local political culture and social norms. A re-examination of Bentham's codification proposal and its intricate institutional design will enrich our understanding and assessment of Bentham as a global legislator and his mature political thought.

Child marriage remains a pressing socio-legal issue in Indonesia, where religious norms often intersect and sometimes conflict with state regulations. This study explores the dynamic interaction between kyai (Islamic religious leaders) and state authorities in regulating child marriage within Cirebon Regency—a region known for its strong pesantren-based traditions. Using a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews with kyai, judges, and families, supported by observations and document analysis of court rulings, religious texts, and local socio-cultural practices. The findings reveal that most kyai continue to legitimize child marriage through classical fiqh doctrines such as darūrah syar‘iyyah (religious necessity) and maslahah (public interest), reflecting the enduring influence of traditional interpretations. However, younger kyai are beginning to adopt contextual ijtihād that aligns with contemporary child protection principles under maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah. Meanwhile, state institutions struggle to implement the 2019 Marriage Law effectively due to the strong moral authority held by kyai. This study contributes to the field of contextualized Islamic law by developing a model of legal harmonization that integrates maqāṣid-based reinterpretation of fiqh with Indonesia’s child protection framework. The research offers both theoretical insight—by advancing the discourse on critical legal pluralism in Muslim societies—and practical guidance for policymakers to foster collaboration between religious leaders and state institutions in preventing child marriage while respecting local religious values.

Coastal ecosystems are becoming less resilient under climate (e.g., sea-level rise, warming, acidification) and human (e.g., urbanization, coastal hardening, and river regulation) pressures, forcing local communities to face increasing risk levels. This lack of resilience is linked to an adaptation deficit that can be recovered through restoration. Yet, restoration faces barriers related to governance, funding, technical practice, and social context. To overcome such barriers, the REST-COAST project has developed a framework that reckons with coastal restoration platforms and restoration agreements, supported by “enablers” that support the upscaling and implementation of restoration projects. The proposed agreements and platforms can effectively overcome barriers by embedding governance, technical, financial, and social enablers into the agreements among stakeholders. Tailored, place-based approaches foster collaboration, long-term adaptive management, and the scaling of restoration to address accelerating climate-driven risks. The proposed agreements build on hands-on restoration lessons, offering transferable insights for global coastal resilience.

Faculty development is a cornerstone of academic medicine, supporting personal growth, professional advancement, and departmental effectiveness across all stages of a faculty member’s career. Among the tools available, faculty retreats have increasingly emerged as a high-impact strategy to foster collaboration, advance strategic planning, and address individual and collective goals in a structured, reflective setting. While retreats are widely used in other sectors, practical guidance tailored to the academic medicine context remains limited. This tutorial offers a comprehensive, step-by-step framework for planning and implementing faculty retreats within academic departments. Key elements of effective retreat design are outlined, including (1) conducting a preretreat needs assessment to align goals with faculty priorities, (2) selecting an appropriate format (eg, in-person or hybrid), (3) fostering psychological safety to enhance participation, and (4) using facilitation techniques that promote inclusive dialogue and actionable outcomes. The tutorial also emphasizes logistical considerations, such as agenda design, timing, and participant engagement strategies, alongside mechanisms to ensure follow-up and accountability after the retreat. In addition to highlighting common barriers, such as resource limitations, scheduling constraints, and engagement disparities, the tutorial provides practical solutions drawn from real-world examples in academic medicine. By integrating thoughtful planning, evidence-informed facilitation, and postretreat follow-through, faculty retreats can serve as transformative experiences that support both individual development and departmental cohesion. This resource aims to fill a gap in the literature by equipping leaders in academic medicine with a structured approach to designing, executing, and sustaining the benefits of faculty retreats.

This study explores the implementation of gamification as an instructional strategy to support the learning of whole numbers in a rural Colombian school with limited technological resources. The intervention involved 23 sixth-grade students who participated in a Genially based digital escape room titled “Agent 00+7.” The activity was structured around five missions designed to foster motivation, collaboration, and active participation. A survey instrument encompassing five dimensions—motivation, role performance, task completion, learning/interaction, and gro integration—was administered across all missions, producing 180 valid responses. The instrument demonstrated strong internal consistency (Cronbach’s α = 0.872). Data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA, revealing significant mission-level variations in students’ perceived motivation, role performance, task completion, and integration, while learning/interaction remained stable. These outcomes suggest that gamified digital environments may shape students’ perceptions of engagement and teamwork, even in resource-constrained settings. Although the results are exploratory and descriptive, given the absence of a control group or pre–post comparison, they provide preliminary evidence of the feasibility and pedagogical promise of gamification in rural educational contexts, contributing to the advancement of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 4, 9, and 10.

Real-time access to patient information enables effective coordination of patient-quality care in a robust manner. This study examined the perspectives of healthcare professionals in a semi-rural district in the Ashanti Region of Ghana.MethodsThe study was conducted at Kuntanase Government Hospital and St Michael's Hospital, Pramso in the Bosomtwe District in the Ashanti region of Ghana. The study used a cross-sectional design with a quantitative approach to select 135 healthcare professionals through simple random sampling. Using Yamane's formula; (n = N/1 + N(e)2) for finding the sample size, assuming a margin error of 5% and estimated target population size of 200 healthcare providers in the selected hospitals, the estimated sample size is 134.5 (approximately 135). Data were collected through a structured questionnaire and analyzed quantitatively through Stata version 16 and presented in percentages and frequencies.ResultsThe results show that healthcare professionals hold positive perceptions of EHRs highlighting their ease of use, usefulness, and contribution to efficiency, reduced medical errors, and improved job performance. Training of staff on the system was found to be important while gender and profession also influenced satisfaction levels.ConclusionThe results also emphasize the critical role of continuous training and support in sustaining user satisfaction, while variations across gender, profession, and experience highlight the need for tailored interventions that address the diverse needs of healthcare providers. The overwhelmingly high levels of satisfaction and enjoyment reported suggest that EHR Systems are gaining acceptance as valuable tools for transforming healthcare delivery. These benefits underscore the potential of EHR Systems to strengthen healthcare systems in resource-limited settings such as Ghana and the Bosomtwe District in Particular.

Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have revolutionized large-scale image recognition due to their speed and accuracy, fueling extensive research into their development. However, CNNs are computationally intensive, leading to significant processing delays. A primary challenge lies in the computation of matrix multiplications, fundamental to CNN operations, with over 80% of processing time dedicated to performing convolutions. This paper proposes a novel DEAP CNN design leveraging core silicon photonics, rendering it compatible with various device platforms. Building upon prior work on photonic CNNs incorporating DRAM, buffers, and mirroring resonators, our approach details a specific input representation and illustrates an example algorithm utilizing the MNIST dataset to demonstrate handwritten digit recognition mapped to photonic systems. The European Commission initiative SCENET aims to foster collaboration between academic and industrial sectors, facilitating knowledge transfer to drive innovation and promote new research projects within this domain. A comprehensive roadmap provides a vision for the future, addressing persisting technical challenges while reflecting on historical contexts and progress over time. The study employs the VIKOR (VlseKriterijumska Optimizacija I Kompromisno Resenje) method, a multi-criteria decision-making technique, to evaluate the performance of various electronic categories, including Analog Electronics, Power Electronics, Quantum Electronics, Communication Systems, and Control Systems, across key parameters: Noise Immunity, Programmability, Integration, and Reproducibility. Through systematic calculations of Sj, Rj, and Qj values, the VIKOR method enables a quantitative assessment and ranking of these categories. The analysis reveals that Communication Systems achieve the highest overall ranking with a Qj score of 1, underscoring their paramount importance in facilitating global connectivity and information exchange. Quantum Electronics closely follow with a Qj score of 0.846963, highlighting their growing significance and potential for advancements. Control Systems, Power Electronics, and Analog Electronics secure subsequent ranks based on their respective Qj scores. The VIKOR method's comprehensive evaluation framework provides valuable insights for decision-makers, aiding strategic planning, resource allocation, and prioritization of research and development efforts within the electronics and communication sectors. The study emphasizes the importance of adopting multi-criteria decision-making approaches in evaluating complex systems and technologies, ensuring well-informed and balanced decisions amidst rapidly evolving technological landscapes.

Background There are gaps in translating climate change research into public health action at the global level. Knowledge translation refers to the methods used to bridge the gap between knowledge and action. Given the significant impacts of climate change on health, it is essential to integrate climate research into health decision-making processes. This integration ensures that evidence effectively informs policies and practices at all levels, leading to more timely, equitable, and impactful public health responses. Objective This scoping review examines key approaches and identifies gaps in knowledge translation methods for integrating climate change research into public health decision-making. Methods A systematic search of the literature was conducted in PubMed, CINAHL, and Scopus using a predefined search string to identify studies on climate change and health published between January 1, 2003, and March 1, 2024, with no geographic restrictions. Retrieved articles were screened and data extracted using Covidence software. Thematic analysis was performed in ATLAS.TI employing Braun and Clark’s six-step method. The identified knowledge translation approaches were categorized according to the Cochrane Knowledge Translation Framework. Findings Our findings highlight five primary knowledge translation approaches: (1) monitoring the coverage of climate change and health across media, scientific literature, and government responses; (2) engaging citizens of all ages in participatory activities to address local climate challenges and co-develop policy solutions; (3) integrating knowledge generation, synthesis, and dissemination for effective communication; (4) emphasizing advocacy and education to foster collaborations and gain support from decision-makers; and (5) leveraging health impact assessment tools to guide decision-making related to climate change and health. Nonetheless, we did not find any primary studies on climate change research and knowledge translation in Low- and Middle-Income Countries (LMICs). Conclusion There is a need for primary studies on the knowledge translation of climate change research, especially in relation to adaptation, into meaningful public health actions that can inform decision-making and contribute to building climate-resilient health systems in LMICs.
