Introduction: Agricultural workplaces have a high number of incidents and fatalities, with the majority occurring from machinery use. Farmers' behaviour plays a critical role in maintaining safety, as improper or unsafe practices often lead to injuries and fatalities. This review categorises interventions targeting farm machine safety, examining both the behaviour change techniques (BCTs) used and their reported outcomes to understand how the techniques influence safety practices and outcomes on farms.

Introduction: Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) people represent one of the largest and most rapidly growing groups in the United States and are often aggregated as a homogeneous, rather than diverse, population in medical research and education. Currently, few educational interventions focus on the disaggregation of AANHPI patient populations and the improvement of knowledge about health disparities that affect AANHPI patients.
Methods: We developed, implemented, and facilitated a workshop for medical students to address AANHPI health disparities, adaptable for in-person and online formats.

Introduction: The General Surgery (GS) educational community of practice faces crisis. Recruitment is challenged by cultural norms of postponing post-foundation training; and retention with perceptions of elitism, discrimination and inflexibility (UK Shape of Training Steering Group, 2017; Kennedy, 2021) [1,45]. Surgical pedagogy has been examined through skill acquisition but what of the hidden curriculum (Brown et al.

When the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is used to amplify complex templates such as metagenomic DNA using single or degenerate primers, preferential amplification of templates (PCR bias) leads to a distorted representation of the original templates in the final amplicon pool. This bias can be influenced by mismatches between primers and templates, the locations of mismatches, and the nucleotide pairing of mismatches. Many studies have examined primer-template interactions through interrogation of the final products of PCR amplification with controlled input templates.

Introduction: Machine learning (ML) algorithms have been heralded as promising solutions to the realization of assistive systems in digital healthcare, due to their ability to detect fine-grain patterns that are not easily perceived by humans. Yet, ML algorithms have also been critiqued for treating individuals differently based on their demography, thus propagating existing disparities. This paper explores gender and race bias in speech-based ML algorithms that detect behavioral and mental health outcomes.
