Trends in the supplementary aids and services (SAS) written in individualized education programs (IEPs) for students with significant disabilities (a) in different educational placements, (b) with and without behavior support plans (BSP), and (c) with and without complex communication needs (CCN) are examined using multivariate analysis of variance. Results show no significant differences in SAS for students across separate, resource, and inclusive placements. Students with BSPs had significantly more collaborative and behavior SAS than those without BSPs. Students with CCN had significantly more social-communication SAS than those whose IEPs indicated little to no communication support needs; however, 51.1% of students with CCN had no social-communication SAS. Findings raise concern around the extent to which SAS are considered before placement decisions, the high frequency of paraprofessional support for students with BSPs, and the low frequency of social-communication SAS written for students with CCN. Implications for policy, practice, and future research are provided.

Mental health is "a state of wellbeing" as per the World Health Organisation. People with disabilities generally experience poorer wellbeing than those without disabilities. Instruments which assess wellbeing or its three core components (emotional, psychological, social) may be less accessible or appropriate for people with complex communication needs (CCN).

Background: Medical students often struggle to engage with and retain complex pharmacology topics during their preclinical education. Traditional teaching methods can lead to passive learning and poor long-term retention of critical concepts.
Objective: This study aims to enhance the teaching of clinical pharmacology in medical school by using a multimodal generative artificial intelligence (genAI) approach to create compelling, cinematic clinical narratives (CCNs).

Single, double, and triple bond dissociation energies are useful quantities, but students and practicing chemists commonly do not know representative values or how they are obtained. In this paper, select π-bond energies are provided and general methods for their determination are discussed. Relationships between heats of hydrogenation, bond dissociation energies, and π-bond strengths are also addressed.

Background And Purpose: It has been suggested that capacity for physical therapy clinical education (CE) experiences is limited; however, data remain unavailable. Regional CE networks have been suggested and may facilitate data collection and management of capacity issues. The Ohio Kentucky Consortium of Physical Therapy Programs developed a Consortium Core Network (CCN) from shared partnerships and implemented a centralized placement process.

Florfenicol (FLO) is a widely used antibacterial drug, which is often detected in the environment. In this paper, the photolysis mechanism of FLO in water was investigated using density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT). The focus of the study is to elucidate the direct photolysis mechanism of FLO in the water environment and the indirect photolysis of free radicals (·OH, ·NO, and ·SO) as active species.
