    Abstract The purpose of this article is to offer evidence that vaccine safety is taken very seriously and various examples to support this premise are described. The article covers adverse event reporting following vaccination, the difference between events which occur after vaccination and events which are caused by vaccination, the comprehensive safety monitoring required when vaccines are first introduced, international vaccine withdrawals because of safety concerns and some vaccine changes in New Zealand where safety was an important consideration. Finally, recent developments in vaccine safety monitoring are outlined. It is hoped that this will be a useful resource for those involved in the complex issue of counteracting vaccine hesitancy.

    Abstract Seasonal changes in environmental conditions require substantial physiological responses for population persistence. Phenotypic plasticity is a common mechanism to tolerate these changes, but for organisms with short generation times rapid adaptation may also be a contributing factor. Here, we aimed to disentangle the impacts of adaptation from phenotypic plasticity on thermal tolerance of the calanoid copepod

    Abstract Selection along environmental gradients can drive reproductive isolation and speciation. Among fishes, salinity is a major factor limiting species distributions, and despite its importance in generating species diversity, speciation events between marine and freshwater are rare. Here, we tested for mechanisms of reproductive isolation between locally adapted freshwater and brackish water-native populations of killifish, Fundulus heteroclitus, from either side of a hybrid zone along a salinity gradient. There was evidence for pre-zygotic endogenous reproductive isolation with reduced fertilization success between crosses of freshwater-native males and brackish water-native females. Exogenous pre-zygotic isolation was also present where females had highest fertilization in their native salinity. We used a replicated mass spawning design to test for mate choice in both brackish and fresh water. After genotyping 187 parents and 2523 offspring at 2347 SNPs across the genome, 85% of offspring were successfully assign to their parents. However, no reinforcing mate choice was observed. These results therefore demonstrate emerging, yet limited, reproductive isolation and incipient speciation across a marine to freshwater salinity gradient and suggest that both endogenous and exogenous mechanisms, but not assortative mating, contribute to divergence.

    Abstract Nanoclusters, particularly gold nanoclusters, have attracted the attention of researchers due to their potential applications in the medicine and energy fields. Other noble-metal nanoclusters, including Pt, have also been studied, but in lesser detail. Pt is known for its excellent catalytic properties and is a promising candidate for applications in catalysis and biomedicine. In this study, we used density functional theory to elucidate the molecular and electronic structures of small phosphine-ligated Pt nanoclusters. This study is directed at identifying highly stable platinum clusters. Our results show that phosphine-ligated platinum nanoclusters with σ-aromaticity have high stability. In addition, we were able to predict the most stable clusters using an electron counting equation.

    Abstract Rural health needs to be based on robust theory that guides efforts in practice, teaching and research. This could make the sets of assumptions that are inevitably brought to bear on prioritization and decision-making more explicit. It has not yet been described in theoretical terms because to insiders such as health practitioners it seems to be more of a practical endeavour than an academic one. The rural determinants of health, as a more specific expression of the social determinants of health, include issues of geography and topography in addition to the social, economic and political factors that result in the persistent disadvantage in health access and outcomes of rural populations. The philosophical approach of critical realism provides a theoretical framework that is inclusive of subjective, objective and abstract realities. Using a case study from South Africa to illustrate these notions, a conceptual model is proposed that displays the geographical and historical foundations of rural health alongside the political, economic, social and health system factors influencing patterns of disease and wellness in rural areas.

    Abstract Background: Operational research (OR) is a process to improve health system capacity by evaluating interventions to improve health delivery and outcomes. The World Health Organization (WHO) Structured Operational Research Training Initiative (SORT-IT) programme promotes how OR contributes to improved health care delivery and health outcomes. A partnership project between the International Institute of Primary Health Care (IPHCE) in Ethiopia and The University of Queensland (UQ) in Australia modified the SORT-IT programme to deliver a hybrid Training of Trainers programme and improve OR capacity.
    Objective: This study was performed to develop and evaluate the effectiveness of Train-the Trainers approach in building capability to expand the capacity of the IPHCE to deliver the SORT-IT programme.
    Methods: Recruitment of participants and training were aligned with the principles of the SORT-IT programme. Training was face-to-face for the first session with subsequent training sessions delivered via Zoom over a 13-week period. Participants were required to complete all activities in line with SORT-IT deliverables. Slide decks supporting the SORT-IT training videos were developed and adapted to the Ethiopian context.
    Results: Participants had diverse experience from programme directors to research officers. All training sessions were recorded and available for participants to watch and review when required. All participants completed OR protocols to the draft stage. Course evaluation revealed participants found the content and format of the training useful, pertinent, and interesting.
    Conclusion: A hybrid model (face-to-face and video platform) for OR training was implemented. Managing contextual challenges such as information technology were managed easily by programme staff. Translating course requirements at a management level proved challenging with data collection for the protocols but provided insight into potential future challenges. This OR Training of Trainers course demonstrated that sharing of skills and knowledge can occur through a hybrid delivery model and contribute to developing capacity.

    Abstract Value based healthcare beyond the clinical domain is the focus of this case study. We share NSW Health's experiences in achieving value through a focus on outcomes in non-clinical and clinical support services using examples that demonstrate key aspects across the commissioning cycle. These include: the importance of stakeholder engagement in the planning phase to later success; the critical role of non-clinical services in patient experience; the opportunity to facilitate value by introducing new approaches in business areas such as procurement; and the role of clinical supports such as digital enablement to facilitate outcome-focussed clinical models. Applying a value lens to non-clinical services can increase the potential benefits to patients, clinicians and the system.

    Abstract The therapeutic benefit of expressive writing has been well researched in the Global North but there is no literature from the Global South. Potentially healing interventions need to be investigated in different contexts, particularly where there is a need to build social cohesion. South Africa has a violent past and is a highly stressed society. An exploration of self-reports by a diverse group of South Africans on the effects of life writing on their health and well-being was conducted using qualitative methods. Twenty members of a writing collective, the Life Righting Collective (LRC: www.liferighting.co.za), were purposively sampled and interviewed by medical students as part of a Medical Humanities special study module. Five major interconnected themes emerged. The LRC as a specific intervention was central to the benefits described. The findings of this study indicated that life writing is a useful non-medical, cost-efficient method to improve resilience to trauma, as well as improving the psychological well-being of the participants. In addition, participants reported positive experiences regarding personal development, overall wellness and mental health, and that life writing can engender a sense of community. Resource-constrained countries in the Global South, like South Africa, where there have been historical and ongoing multiple traumas, need interventions for healing and wellness that are low cost and can be replicated.
