Studies of expertise have typically shown that experts better memory for materials from their fields than do novices. However, previous research on maps has not the expected effect expertise. The present study differed studies by using contour as well planimetric maps. In Experiment 1 superiority in performance was found skilled map readers when were used, but used. 2, main results replicated, and, addition, process tracing data obtained during both and test phases learning.

Abstract In pandemic preparedness and response, a Functional Exercise (FX) is used to simulate situation as close real‐life event possible without the deployment of resources. Participants are drawn from public health emergency operations centres, work through scenario script test responses novel pathogen outbreak. This paper summarises role system dynamics modelling in design implementation functional exercise, which involved Dutch German national institutes March 2023. The findings confirm...
Education for sustainable development (ESD) is considered vital to the success of United Nations’ goals. Systems thinking has been identified as a core competency that must be included in ESD. However, systems thinking-orientated ESD learning tools, established methods assessment sustainability skills, and formal trials demonstrate effectiveness such tools are all lacking. This research presents randomised controlled trial (n = 106) investigate whether an innovative online tool incorporates...
General practice encounters often involve vague symptoms, potentially representing illness in its early stage. Managing such undifferentiated symptoms is difficult, but one of the key tasks general practitioner to discover serious disease at an appropriate stage whilst also minimising over-investigation.Although diagnostic process and methods coping with uncertainty have been described, course disease, especially presentations, poorly understood. There still much learn about diagnosis...
The Arms Trade Treaty, the first treaty to regulate international transfer of conventional arms and ammunition, was adopted in 2013 at United Nations. It aims flow weapons around world by requiring governments assess all transfers against a set criteria, before is authorised or denied. agreed criteria include language on risks gender-based violence. This landmark provision, shows that issues women, peace security have successfully moved into realm mainstream security. article explores how...
Vaccines are one of the safest medical interventions in history and can protect against infectious diseases ensure important health benefits. Despite these advantages, professionals policymakers face significant challenges terms vaccine rollout, as hesitancy is a global challenge, varies greatly with context, i.e., place, time, vaccines. The internet has rapidly become widely used information source for health-related issues, medium where misinformation relation to vaccines on social media...

We determined whether short-term supplementation with a physiological dose of folate alters global gene expression in the normal colonic mucosa subjects colorectal adenoma.Fourteen adenoma, randomised to receive folic acid (400μg/day, n = 6) or placebo (n 8) for 10 weeks, had blood samples and tissue biopsies collected before after intervention. RNA extracted from was used determine colon using Affymetrix® Microarray GeneChips real-time RT-PCR. Following intervention, 67 genes were...

Objective The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the crucial role of healthcare and public health resource management, where scarcity impairs response resulting in increased disease transmission, delayed patient care poorer outcomes. In EU PANDEM-2 project, we aimed to identify essential parameters for preparedness context an emerging viral respiratory illness. Design After performing a systematic literature review, conducted Delphi study consisting structured questionnaire consensus round with...
The closure of day centres during the COVID-19 pandemic placed these, generally under-researched, services under spotlight. We report priority areas for support and research concerning English adult older people’s identified by a 2021 survey. Day other centre stakeholders have an appetite evidence supportive resource materials, covering how to remain current sustainable, demonstrate impact, workforce. An underlying focus on people living with dementia suggested that catering these groups...

Abstract While the etiology and mechanism of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) is not fully understood, immunologic abnormalities play a role in these diseases. Monitoring disease progression response to therapeutics typically invasive lacking. Increased recruitment lymphocytes gut has been demonstrated IBD, leading inflammation ultimately tissue damage. Lymphocyte circulation tightly controlled by trafficking receptors (TRs) that act combination govern migration target organ. Plasmablasts...
Abstract Despite widespread vaccination against Bordetella pertussis (Bp), whooping cough is reemerging. Trafficking receptors (TR) direct cell migration to infection sites, generating protective immunity. To test our hypothesis that toxin (PTX) modifies dendritic (DC) imprinting of TR on T cells, leading compromised homing respiratory mucosa, we established a murine model for Bp and B. parapertussis (Bpp)-a strain lacks PTX analyzed expression by FACS memory CD4+ CD44+ cells in blood vs...
