Background: The 'Integrated Model for Supervision' (IMS) offers important guidance for how to provide supportive supervision within mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS) programming in humanitarian emergencies. The current study sought to (i) describe how the IMS was implemented following IMS training; (ii) assess whether delivery of the IMS training is associated with changes in a selection of theoretically supported quantitative outcomes; and (iii) elicit feedback on the IMS and its implementation process.
Methods: Data was collected from a participant pool of n = 119 individuals from six different humanitarian organisations that had previously participated in an IMS training.
This study explores a novel approach to managing skin conditions through a combination therapy utilizing a phospholipid-enriched edge activator-based nanoformulation. 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU)- and sesamol (SES)-loaded transliposomes (FS-TL) were developed using a thin film hydration method and optimized using Box-Behnken Design. FS-TL characterization indicated a vesicle size of 165.

Polyherbal medicines, composed of multiple plants with historical use in traditional medicine, have gained popularity due to their safety, cost-effectiveness, and accessibility. However, selecting the right plants and determining optimal combinations for enhanced biological effects remains challenging.

Despite efforts to establish LCS programmes, evidence on LCS cost-effectiveness, participation rates, facilitators and barriers for Indigenous peoples remains limited. This systematic review aims to address this gap by reviewing available evidence.

In this study, an eco-friendly and highly efficient montmorillonite‑sodium alginate/chitosan beads (CS/SA-FeMT) was synthesized via the semi-interpenetrating network method for phosphorus adsorption, and its potential application as a fertilizer after phosphorus adsorption was also preliminarily investigated. The results revealed that the surface of CS/SA-FeMT was coated with granular montmorillonite, exhibiting a rougher layered stacking structure.
