A novel approach using cyanoacrylate ester fuming on surfaces with anti-climb paint.

The use of fingermarks as evidence in forensic science remains indispensable with these being used for identification and/or elimination purposes. A wide array of methods and techniques have been developed to enhance, recover, and preserve fingermarks from various surfaces. However, the forensic community continues to encounter challenges when dealing with certain surfaces, among them is anti-climb paint, presenting unique difficulties due to its non-drying nature.

Perspective: Pseudoscience and the Detection of Marijuana-Based Impairment-We Can and Must Do Better.

Existing tools for making workplace and roadside determinations of marijuana-based impairment are inadequate. They either merely imitate tools used to identify alcohol- based impairment without taking into account important differences between these molecules, or they are pseudoscientific "police science." Legalization of marijuana use must be accompanied by urgent efforts and dedicated funding for the development and implementation of practical, accurate, and objective methods for on-the-spot determination of whether a person is dangerously impaired by marijuana.

Stakeholder perceptions of mangrove ecosystem services across scales of conservation focus.

Conservation faces a chronic shortage of resources, including time, funding, mental capacity, and human capital. Efforts to make the expenditure of these resources more efficient should, therefore, support more equitable and effective conservation prioritization. To achieve this, it is necessary to ensure the integration of the knowledge and perceptions of local stakeholders into larger scale conservation decisions.

The impact of tax burden on welfare attitudes: Micro evidence from welfare states.

The attitudes of the general public with regard to social welfare are of crucial importance in determining the efficacy and stability of a nation's welfare system. The manner in which taxation is employed as a means of funding mechanism for welfare policies is of great consequence. Nevertheless, existing research on the subject of welfare attitudes has largely neglected the tax perspective, underscoring the need for investigations that bridge this gap and provide a more comprehensive understanding of the intertwined dynamics between taxation and public perception of social benefits.

Moderating Synthetic Content: the Challenge of Generative AI.

Regulated Pricing Decisions and Diagnostic Test Choices in Personalized Medicine: Navigating the Implications Within Legal Frameworks.

Background: The emerging risk of personalized medicine is driving drug manufacturers to seek collaborations with advanced diagnostic firms, aiming to improve detection and treatment outcomes. However, the government's regulated pricing in personalized medicine affects manufacturers' strategic decisions, particularly regarding the selection of diagnostic partners. In this context, this study investigates whether the government should regulate the price of personalized medicine and how the government's regulated pricing decisions affect drug manufacturers' diagnostic test choices.

"Mr. Smith Has No Mealtimes": Minimal Comfort Feeding for Patients with Advanced Dementia.

While Comfort Feeding Only is appropriate for patients with advanced dementia, its emphasis on assiduous hand-feeding that may prolong life for years fails to accommodate the preferences of those who do not want to continue living with this illness. Some have proposed advance directives to completely halt the provision of oral nutrition and hydration once a person has reached an advanced stage of dementia. However, these directives may fail to address patients' discomfort, caregivers' obligations, or current care and regulatory standards when patients reside in facilities.

The disappearing COVID-Naïve Population and comparative Roche vs. Abbott Test sensitivity: evidence from antibody seroprevalence in Milwaukee County, Wisconsin.

We study the prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 antibodies in a diverse population in Milwaukee County, Wisconsin from May 2021 to June 2022. We find that 99.4% (523/526) of the participants had positive results for antibodies to the SARS CoV2 spike protein over April-June 2022, soon after the early-2022 Omicron surge.

The European Health Data Space as a Case Study.

In May 2022, the European Commission proposed the launch of a health-specific data sharing framework called the European Health Data Space (EHDS), underpinned by legislation, for the use of electronic health data by patients and for research, innovation, policy-making, patient safety, statistics, or regulatory purposes. In this essay, I review some of its more contentious features based on the latest version of the legislative proposal. I suggest that the EHDS is a useful case study to illustrate the need for a translational bioethics approach that shines a critical analytical light on contentious aspects of large-scale research infrastructures.

The tendency of psychological depression among social workers is increasingly evident and has become a significant public health concern. We explore the associations between work-family conflict (WFC), role clarity, social support, and psychological depression, with a sample of 944 Chinese female social workers. Our results show that WFC has a significant positive influence on the psychological depression experienced by female social workers, particularly among those who are unmarried.

The (mis)use of evidence in contested rights: commentary on the UN Special Rapporteur on violence against women and girls' report on "prostitution and violence".

Readers of Sexual and Reproductive Health Matter are no strangers to interrogating evidence in all its forms, assessing which claims it can support, and about challenges and uncertainties in international norms in the fields of sexual and reproductive rights and health. Questions of evidence, positionality and the role of testimony are particularly live in the context of sex work and human rights. As an exploration about good and bad practices in research and evidence, in this Commentary we highlight the errors, mistakes and wrongly shaped conclusions arising in the recent report by the UN Special Rapporteur on violence against women and girls about prostitution law, sex worker health and rights, and the status of international human rights law on sex work and trafficking.

Exploring the potential role of financial interventions to improve the health of families impacted by incarceration.

Purpose Of Review: To summarize the impact of financial hardship on children whose parents have been incarcerated, describe both existing cash transfer and guaranteed income programs, and highlight their impact on child and family well being.

Recent Findings: Emerging data on guaranteed income programs for formerly incarcerated adults indicates that the funds improve recipient health and legal system outcomes and allow participants to spend funds on stabilizing themselves and their families. Guaranteed income programs in the broader population similarly highlight the use of funds to support families' basic needs and improved parent-child relationships, but more data are needed to understand the impact on child health and well being among families impacted by the criminal legal system.
