Many nursing educators have considered the implementation of a concept-based curriculum, with active, conceptual teaching and learning strategies, which offers a way to respond to the overwhelming content saturation in many nursing curricula. However, barriers abound, including faculty concerns about loss of control, changing faculty role and identity, and fear of failure. This article clarifies these legitimate barriers and offers practical strategies for success in curriculum change.

Aims: Concept-based approaches to curricula have been proposed as a solution to this issue, and 56 concepts have been proposed for dietetics curricula. This study aimed to develop a framework for a dietetic concept-based curriculum.
Methods: A pragmatic approach was employed by a team of nine experienced Australian dietetic educators.

Purpose: The 21st Century Cures Act final rule requires that patients have real-time access to their radiology reports, which contain technical language. The objective of this study to was to use a novel system called RadGPT, which integrates concept extraction and a large language model (LLM), to help patients understand their radiology reports.
Methods: RadGPT generated 150 concept explanations and 390 question-and-answer pairs from 30 radiology report impressions from between 2012 and 2020.

Background Medical students often struggle to apply previously learned concepts to new situations, such as cardiovascular physiology. ChatGPT, an AI chatbot trained through deep learning, can analyze basic problems and produce human-like language in various subjects. Multiple-choice questions (MCQs) are given to students by many medical schools before exams, but due to time constraints, instructors frequently lack the resources necessary to adequately explain the practice questions.

Objectives: This study explores the experiences of nurse educators in Qatar implementing the Concept-Based Curriculum (CBC), identifying barriers and facilitators to improve strategies and support.
Methods: A phenomenological approach based on Van Manen was used. Data from semi-structured interviews with 18 nurse educators were transcribed and analyzed using Colaizzi's method with NVivo software.

Electrolyte engineering to enhance the cathode-electrolyte interface stability is widely recognized as a promising strategy for achieving high-voltage lithium-ion batteries, which are currently hindered by the meta-stable surface of lithium-rich layered oxides. Despite significant progress in electrolyte development, clear design guidelines for high-voltage electrolytes remain lacking, making solvent selection unpredictable. Here, a dual-descriptor tailoring concept based on Mulliken charge (adsorption) and Laplacian bond order (antioxidation) to identify ideal solvent molecules for high-voltage electrolytes is proposed.
