Optimal decision-making requires consideration of internal and external contexts. Biased decision-making is a transdiagnostic symptom of neuropsychiatric disorders.

Background: Adolescence is a time of increased risk for the onset of internalising problems, particularly in females. However, how individual differences in brain maturation relate to the increased vulnerability for internalising problems in adolescence remains poorly understood due to a scarcity of longitudinal studies.
Methods: Using Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) Study data, we examined longitudinal associations between multimodal brain age and youth internalising problems.
Aim: To connect selected examples from Florence Nightingale's life with concerns for the distress nurses are experiencing worldwide.
Background: We live in turbulent times of disease, armed conflict, vast climate change, and social injustice-factors exacerbating illness and impacting health-factors Nightingale also addressed throughout her life.
Sources Of Evidence: The Theory of Integral Nursing (TIN) is introduced with related examples of nursing's problems and solutions seen through integral lenses at the individual, group, grassroots, and global levels.
