Previous research has shown ongoing difficulties between Police, Fire and Rescue, and Ambulance Service responders during multi-agency emergencies. Recently, researchers have used the Social Identity Approach to gain insight into these challenges, offering a psychological framework for understanding relations within and between response organisations. This study builds upon previous work by engaging responders from the emergency services in six discussion-based exercises.

  • * A study introduced a machine learning approach to create predictive models that can distinguish between live normally sited pregnancies (LNSP) and combined adverse outcomes (CAO) like miscarriages or ectopic pregnancies based on blood samples.
  • * Analyzing metabolites and hormone levels from participants, the best prediction model combined both stable metabolite signals and hormone concentrations, achieving accuracy in differentiating LNSP from CAO.

Fatty acid synthase (FASN), a key enzyme of de novo lipid synthesis, is significantly upregulated in CRC, and therapeutic approaches of targeting this enzyme are currently being tested in multiple clinical trials. However, the mechanisms behind the pro-oncogenic action of FASN are still not completely understood.

We examined 37 social and political psychology studies published after 2010 and identified five recurring themes: identity, efficacy, injustice, emotions and norms.
