Pain, an indicator of potential tissue damage, ideally falls under individual control. Although previous work shows a trend towards reduced pain in contexts where pain is controllable, there is a large variability across studies that is probably related to different aspects of control. We therefore outline a taxonomy of different aspects of control relevant to pain, sketch how control over pain can be integrated into a Bayesian pain model, and suggest changes in expectations and their precision as potential mechanisms.

- A study involving a random pedestrian survey and an online survey revealed that 34% of pedestrians and 5.7% of online respondents were unfamiliar with what palliative care entails.
- Most of the public perceives palliative care mainly as medical assistance for the dying, indicating a lack of understanding of its broader objectives, which underscores the importance of improving health literacy and communication around this topic.
Psychosocial stress is increasing in society, impacting our lives in all social domains. However, the conditions under which stress facilitates ("tend-and-befriend") or hinders ("fight-or-flight") social approach remain elusive. We tested whether previous heterogeneous findings might be resolved by accounting for individual differences in social performance under stress.

However, the important features of resulting 3D flow fields are only accessible through cost-intensive numerical simulations. Experimental 2D recording of the chaotic three-dimensional velocity fields developing for example at currents exceeding the limiting current density does not capture the complex 3D structures present in such flow fields.

Aim: To explore the experience of missed nursing care in clinical placements, its meaning for nursing students, and actions they considered or took.
Methods: Qualitative study based on a content analysis of nursing students' written reports.
