Rationale: While professional values are seen as a fundamental part of element of shared decision-making, there is little research on how they are learnt within the paramedic profession.
Aims And Objectives: This study sought to understand how student paramedics developed their professional values within the ambulance practicum.
Method: 37 paramedic students and 5 paramedic educators submitted diary entries and took part in focus groups.
Results: There was a general consensus between participants that the study of professional values was viewed as a scholarly activity within the university, and the practicum subsequently viewed as unacademic. Students identified that much of their learning replicated values of the environment they were in, and educators voiced their concerns that this may not always result in the understanding behind professional values.
Conclusion: This study has highlighted that professional values would be worthy of being explored within the paramedic undergraduate curriculum, in an effort to enable students to understand and develop their values during their education and appreciate the importance of values within shared decision-making.

Purpose: This study investigates codon usage and amino acid usage bias in the genus Acinetobacter to uncover the evolutionary forces shaping these patterns and their implications for pathogenicity and biotechnology.
Methods: Codon usage patterns were examined in representative genomes of the genus Acinetobacter using standard codon bias indices, including GC content, relative synonymous codon usage (RSCU), effective number of codons (ENC), and codon adaptation index (CAI). Neutrality and parity plots were employed to evaluate the relative influence of mutational pressure and natural selection on codon preferences.

Innovative qualitative approaches are essential for exploring how health professions education (HPE) can address complex, value-laden constructs such as social accountability. Visual elicitation techniques, including rich picture interviews (RPIs), offer distinctive opportunities to surface layered, affective, and contextually embedded understandings. This methodological study examines participant perspectives on the use of RPIs within a broader qualitative interpretive description on social accountability.

This study introduces a novel optimization framework for cranial three-dimensional rotational angiography (3DRA), combining the development of a brain equivalent in-house phantom with Figure of Merit (FOM) a quantitative evaluation method. The technical contribution involves the development of an in-house phantom constructed using iodine-infused epoxy and lycal resins, validated against clinical Hounsfield Units (HU). A customized head phantom was developed to simulate brain tissue and cranial vasculature for 3DRA optimization.

Background: Research Capacity and Culture (RCC) is important for research engagement. Little is known of what speech and language therapy staff perceives to be the barriers or enablers to this at individual, team and organisational levels.
Aims: To identify the barriers and enablers to RCC among speech and language therapy staff, using behaviour change theory as a framework, and to explore their self-reported level of research engagement.
