Three months before the planned implementation of the European Union Regulation on Deforestation-free products, the European Commission proposed to postpone the implementation by twelve months. The announcement raised the temperature in the debate on this regulation. We put forward suggestions, based on scientific knowledge as well as current EUDR research and implementation projects, on how the 12-month phasing-in period could be used wisely to promote sustainability transitions in deforestation-risk value chains.

The concept of cultural safety, developed in the training of nurses over 30 years ago, was adopted by the Medical Council of New Zealand in 2019. We report on the journey of the Medical Council of New Zealand, Te ORA (the Māori Medical Practitioners Association) and the Council of Medical Colleges, and our increasing understanding of cultural competence and cultural safety in promoting best outcomes for Māori patients over the years. We describe in detail the key components of a cultural safety training framework as a tool for medical colleges' training of registrars and the Continuing Professional Development (CPD) of specialist medical practitioners.

Introduction: Ergonomic issues are widespread among surgeons performing teleoperated robotic surgery. As the ergonomics of a teleoperation system depends on the controller handle, it needs to be designed wisely. While the importance of the controller handle in robot-assisted telemanipulation has been highlighted previously, most existing work on the usability of a human-robot system for surgery was of qualitative nature or did not focus on surgery-specific tasks.

Unlabelled: This study demonstrates how complex bone microarchitectural features can be summarized to describe bone adaptations seen with aging in women, which are consistent with the stages of osteoporosis. Additionally, we showed familial resemblance in these bone microarchitectural traits between mothers and daughters that can be used to predict bone adaptations.
Introduction: Patient-specific characterization of bone quality can reduce complex microarchitectural features to common combinations of bone characteristics, known as bone phenotypes.
