We investigate ordinary concepts of institutional groups: stable, cooperative, and socially constructed entities like clubs, companies, and academic departments. We use a transformation paradigm to examine participants' causal beliefs about how groups exist and persist over time. We consider whether participants believe groups are grounded in collective recognition or function. Participants' default views about groups see them as persisting because the members or a relevant third-party collectively recognize the members as belonging to a group (Studies 1-4). Social groups are dual-character though (Studies 5-8). There is a second sense: the group. This judgment is grounded in whether the group realizes its basic function. This sense is more influenced by participants' own ideological commitments. Thus, participants can disagree about whether a group exists even if they agree about the bare facts. We discuss implications for theories of conceptual representation. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2020 APA, all rights reserved).

This paper explores how small local health departments (LHDs) motivated staff members, communicated progress toward Public Health Accreditation Board accreditation or Pathways Recognition, and celebrated interim and final accreditation accomplishments. Qualitative key informant interviews were conducted with 22 employees and affiliates of 4 LHDs with jurisdiction populations <50 000. LHDs motivated staff through ownership, creative strategies to monitor and record progress, and meaningful no- or low-cost incentives.

Department of Allergy, Immunology and Respiratory Medicine, Central Clinical School, The Alfred Hospital, Monash University, Melbourne, Australia.
Background: Moral distress is reported to be a critical force contributing to intensifying rates of anxiety, depression and burnout experienced by healthcare workers. In this paper, we examine the moral dilemmas and ensuing distress personally and collectively experienced by healthcare workers while caring for patients during the pandemic.
Methods: Data are drawn from free-text responses from a cross-sectional national online survey of Australian healthcare workers about the patient care challenges they faced.
Engineering Protein Dynamics through Mutational Energy Landscape Traps.

Protein dynamics is essential for various biological processes, influencing functions such as enzyme activity, molecular recognition, and signal transduction. However, traditional protein engineering methods often focus on static structures, lacking tools to precisely manipulate dynamic behaviors. Here, we developed Mutational Energy Landscape Trap (MELT), a novel method designed to control protein dynamics by combining Normal Mode Analysis (NMA) and mutagenesis.

Enhanced sampling (ES) simulations of biomolecular recognition, such as binding small molecules to proteins and nucleic acid targets, protein-protein association, and protein-nucleic acid interactions, have gained significant attention in the simulation community because of their ability to sample long-time scale processes. However, a key challenge in implementing collective variable (CV)-based enhanced sampling methods is the selection of appropriate CVs that can distinguish the system's metastable states and, when biased, can effectively sample these states. This challenge is particularly acute when the binding of a flexible molecule to a conformationally rich host molecule is simulated, such as the binding of a peptide to an RNA.
