Pharmacists are required to ensure the quality of services provided to each patient. Good Pharmacy Practice (GPP) is a tool of clarifying and fulfilling this commitment. The role of International Pharmaceutical Federation (FIP) is to guide the national pharmaceutical organizations, which, in turn, should initiate the establishment of national standards. A key element is the obligation imposed by the profession throughout the world - to promote different activities for the benefit of those we serve. GPP is recommended to be considered as a list of occupational tasks, the implementation of which would serve the interests of patients or customers in the pharmacy. Ultimately, the quality of pharmaceutical care system will help to ensure not only the commercial interests of the pharmacy, but also the security requirements as those services and products, as well as professionals and patients.

Background: Patients with gastrointestinal tract cancer reported suboptimal adherence to oral anticancer agents (OAAs), reducing their therapeutic benefit and increasing mortality risk. A scoping review can comprehensively map available evidence on adherence to OAAs and inform appropriate support to improve treatment outcomes.
Objective: The aim of this study was to comprehensively map studies on adherence to OAAs among adults with gastrointestinal tract cancer, including the adherence rate, nonadherence reasons, influential factors, management strategies, and theories that guide these studies.

The muscle synergy concept suggests that the human motor system is organized into functional modules composed of muscles "" toward common task goals. This study offers a nuanced computational perspective to muscle synergies, where muscles interacting across multiple scales have functionally similar, complementary, and independent roles. Making this viewpoint implicit to a methodological approach applying Partial Information Decomposition to large-scale muscle activations, we unveiled nested networks of functionally diverse inter- and intramuscular interactions with distinct functional consequences on task performance.

Our article deals with the governance of responsible research and innovation (RRI) and aims to set out a first psychologically grounded decision-theoretic method for the governance of RRI. We approach the governance of RRI as a multicriteria group decision analysis problem of delivering social welfare in an innovation ecosystem. Following such a methodological approach, we develop a psychologically grounded multicriteria group decision analysis method that integrates in its value function the main psychological effects captured in the value function of prospect theory as the main theory of individual decision-making under risk.
