Project Energize is a through-school nutrition and activity programme that is being evaluated in a 2-year, cluster-randomised, longitudinal study. The present paper describes the background of the programme and study, the programme development and delivery, the study methodology including randomisation, measurement and analysis tools and techniques, and the mix of the study population. The programme is being delivered to sixty-two primary schools with sixty-two control schools, each limb containing about 11,000 students. The children in the evaluation cohort are 5 or 10 years old at enrolment; the randomisation protocol has achieved post-consent enrolment of 3,000 evaluation participants, who are comparable by age, sex and school decile. End-point measures include body composition and associated physical characteristics, fitness, home and school environment and practice.

Background: The concept of thriving at work (TAW) has received increased interest within health services research in recent years. TAW embraces employees' experience of being energized and feeling alive when employed in an organization. However, previous research has been limited mainly to the investigation of factors that promote TAW.

While the emergence of PM6 : Y6 active layer re-energized the organic photovoltaic community, excessive aggregation of Y6 molecules induced by their strong intermolecular interactions has limited the performance of PM6 : Y6-based organic solar cells (OSCs). Adding 3D multi-arm small-molecule acceptors is an effective strategy to inhibit such aggregation. However, to maximize OSC efficiency, these molecules should also contribute to the electronic processes.

Article Synopsis
- The Human Proteome Project (HPP) aims to identify every protein-coding gene’s isoform and integrate proteomics into studies of human health and disease.
- Major updates include the retirement of neXtProt as the knowledge base, with UniProtKB now serving as the reference proteome, and GENCODE providing the target protein list.
- Recent data shows that 93% of protein-coding genes have been expressed, leaving 1,273 non-expressed proteins, along with the introduction of a new scoring system for functional annotation of proteins.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the interactions between the outer membrane heme transporter HasR and the inner membrane protein HasB in Gram-negative bacteria, using advanced molecular dynamics simulations to understand their role in nutrient uptake.
- The simulations reveal important dynamics and protein-protein interactions within the periplasmic space, contributing to the stability and function of the nutrient transport system.
- Experimental validation of the findings indicates that the identified interaction network may also apply to other similar nutrient import systems in Gram-negative bacteria, highlighting its potential significance for antibacterial strategy development.

Article Synopsis
- Innovation is sought after in healthcare but its programs’ effectiveness is often unmeasured, especially regarding employee experiences, which led to the creation of the VA innovators network (iNET) to enhance patient care and processes.
- A study involving interviews with 50 participants across 15 sites revealed that many felt revitalized and appreciated new connections and recognition, though some faced challenges like time constraints.
- The findings indicate that iNET effectively promotes innovation and positively influences employee experiences, suggesting that similar programs could help address issues like burnout in the post-pandemic healthcare landscape.
