This article describes recently developed instruments that assess school personnel's bystander barriers and intentions in situations of teen relationship abuse, sexual assault, and sexual harassment, as well as perceptions of school readiness specific to relationship abuse, sexual assault, and sexual harassment prevention and response. Participants were 1,150 high school personnel from 25 schools in New Hampshire, Massachusetts, and Maine. Specific instruments focused on bystander intentions, bystander action, barriers to bystander action, and perceptions of school readiness. Participants were randomly divided into two groups for analysis-the exploratory sample (ES; = 575) and the confirmatory sample (CS; = 575). Overall, the measures demonstrated acceptable fit indices. Results suggested that most measures and subscales had adequate reliability, but a few subscales had less than ideal internal consistency, which can likely be attributed to the small number of items. More work is needed, but these measures act as a starting point by which the role of school personnel in prevention initiatives and bystander intervention can be evaluated.

: Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) is a severe medical condition involving the cessation of the heart's mechanical activity. Following the chain of survival, which includes early recognition and calling for help, early initiation of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), early defibrillation, and post-resuscitation care, offers the greatest chances of saving a person who has experienced SCA. The aim of this study was to analyze cases of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) and assess the actions taken by bystanders.

People often perceive their moral judgments as objective and unbiased, yet research indicates that positive interpersonal attitudes lead to more lenient moral character assessments. Here we investigate how likeability towards moral transgressors and the different moral rationalization strategies they may employ impact both the perceived severity of the immoral behavior and the attribution of humanity to the transgressor. In two studies, participants ( = 475) engaged in a 2 (likeability towards the transgressor: high vs.

Article Synopsis
- Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) are an innovative cancer treatment strategy that targets specific receptors on tumor cells, delivering cytotoxic drugs directly into those cells.
- ADCs have shown significant success in improving treatment and survival rates for breast cancer patients, especially those with HER-2-positive tumors.
- Despite their benefits, challenges like drug toxicity and resistance must be addressed, and further research is necessary to enhance the effectiveness of ADCs in personalized breast cancer treatments.

Despite striking gender differences in men's and women's engagement in past prevention programmes to stop violence against women (VAW), few empirical studies have determined why such gender differences arise. We did a grounded theory study of a large-scale NGO programme in informal settlements in Mumbai, India, aiming to analyse how gender affects participation in community action to address VAW. We did 27 focus group discussions and 31 semi-structured interviews with 77 women and 36 men, as well as with 9 NGO staff.

Article Synopsis
- Stroke is a leading cause of serious health issues and death globally, and this study in Malta aimed to assess public knowledge about strokes to identify areas that could delay treatment.
- A mixed methods approach involved qualitative interviews with stroke patients and surveys distributed to a broad segment of the Maltese population and healthcare workers, revealing significant knowledge gaps about stroke symptoms and responses.
- The results indicated that education level and demographics influenced stroke knowledge, with targeted educational initiatives recommended to improve awareness and response, especially among vulnerable groups like older adults and rural residents.
