In response to low scores on a patient safety culture survey, the Veterans Health Administration National Center for Patient Safety implemented a comprehensive nursing-focused crew resource management program for frontline nursing staff. This article highlights significant cultural and clinical outcomes from the program.

One of the most surprising and important findings of the first human landings on the Moon was the discovery of a very fine layer of lunar dust covering the entire surface of Moon along with the negative impacts of this dust on the well-being and operational effectiveness of the astronauts, their equipment, and instrumentation. The United States is now planning for human missions to Mars, a planet where dust can also be expected to be ubiquitous for many or most landing sites. For these missions, the design and operations of key hardware systems must take this dust into account, especially when related to crew health and safety.

The Lunarminer framework explores the use of biomimetic swarm robotics, inspired by the division of labor in leafcutter ants and the synchronized flashing of fireflies, to enhance lunar water ice extraction. Simulations of water ice extraction within Shackleton Crater showed that the framework may improve task allocation, by reducing the extraction time by up to 40% and energy consumption by 31% in scenarios with high ore block quantities. This system, capable of producing up to 181 L of water per day from excavated regolith with a conversion efficiency of 0.

The Mary Rose, for many years the flagship of the Tudor king, Henry VIII, sank during the battle of the Solent on the 19th July 1545. 437 years later, the remains of the hull and associated contents were recovered following a four-year excavation, all dated to a precise point in history. The assemblage is a valuable resource, as the environment preserved over 19,000 objects and the remains of a minimum of 179 crew members.

In the contemporary era, the further exploitation of deep-sea resources has led to a significant expansion of the role of ships in numerous domains, such as in oil and gas extraction. However, the harsh marine environments to which ships are frequently subjected can result in structural failures. In order to ensure the safety of the crew and the ship, and to reduce the costs associated with such failures, it is imperative to utilise a structural health monitoring (SHM) system to monitor the ship in real time.

Article Synopsis
- A major problem in fisheries governance is the lack of transparency regarding corporate ownership, particularly in the controversial practice of transshipment.
- The study introduces a publicly accessible database that reveals ownership and operational details of 569 reefers, revealing that Russian and Chinese owners dominate the global fleet.
- The findings indicate that improving transparency and governance in transshipment could be achieved through collaboration among vessel owners, flag states, and fishing regulators.
