Article Synopsis
- The study explores the link between trust and compliance with COVID-19 restrictions across ten European countries from March 2020 to January 2021, using data from Twitter, Google mobility, and Oxford policy.
- It challenges previous assumptions by introducing a novel, time-sensitive measure of compliance, assessing how mobility behavior relates to containment policies.
- Findings reveal that compliance fluctuates over time and that higher trust in others is associated with greater compliance levels, emphasizing the need to foster trust within communities.
Since 2020, the world has faced two unprecedented shocks: lockdowns (regulation) and the invasion of Ukraine (war). Although we realise the health and economic effects of these shocks, more research is needed on the effect on happiness and whether the type of shock plays a role. Therefore, in this paper, we determine whether these macro-level shocks affected happiness, how these effects differ, and how long it takes for happiness to adapt to previous levels.

- The paper reviews how healthcare professionals manage children after drowning incidents, specifically looking at interventions used across different medical settings, like prehospital care, emergency departments, and pediatric intensive care units.
- A literature review of 32 articles published between 2010 and 2022 was conducted to synthesize these interventions and map them out according to clinical practice areas.
- While the management techniques discussed are well-researched and evidence-based, the review found a lack of clear connections in the integration of these interventions from the initial drowning scene to the children's ongoing care in the PICU, and noted the absence of parental involvement in this process.
Stem-cell-based embryo models have allowed greater insight into peri-implantation mammalian developmental events that are otherwise difficult to manipulate due to the inaccessibility of the early embryo. The rapid development of this field has resulted in the precise roles of frequently used supplements such as N2, B27 and Chiron in driving stem cell lineage commitment not being clearly defined. Here, we investigate the effects of these supplements on embryoid bodies to better understand their roles in stem cell differentiation.
