The conclusions of the EFSA following the peer review of the initial risk assessments carried out by the competent authorities of the rapporteur Member State, Spain, and co-rapporteur Member State, Greece, for the pesticide active substance formetanate (variant assessed formetanate hydrochloride) are reported. The context of the peer review was that required by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 844/2012, as amended by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 2018/1659. The conclusions were reached on the basis of the evaluation of the representative uses of formetanate (variant assessed formetanate hydrochloride) as an insecticide on tomatoes (field and greenhouses (permanent)) and on ornamentals (greenhouses (permanent)). The reliable end points, appropriate for use in regulatory risk assessment, are presented. Missing information identified as being required by the regulatory framework is listed. Concerns are reported where identified.

Background: Artificial intelligence chatbots (AICs) are designed to mimic human conversations through text or speech, offering both opportunities and challenges in scholarly publishing. While journal policies of AICs are becoming more defined, there is still a limited understanding of how Editors in chief (EiCs) of biomedical journals' view these tools. This survey examined EiCs' attitudes and perceptions, highlighting positive aspects, such as language and grammar support, and concerns regarding setup time, training requirements, and ethical considerations towards the use of AICs in the scholarly publishing process.

Background: Peer mentoring is a recommended intervention to enhance students' emotional and academic success. Effective understanding of peer-to-peer mentoring by faculty is necessary to promote student success.
Purpose: The purpose of this integrative review is to summarize and synthesize the literature regarding prelicensure peer mentoring relationships and methods in nursing education.

Issue Addressed: Citizen science, an approach to health promotion that involves public participation and collaboration, has been posited as a promising approach to reach diverse or marginalised populations. This scoping review aims to explore the involvement of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders and other First Nations and Indigenous peoples internationally in citizen science in health-related studies. While current health promotion in Indigenous communities is already strongly embedded in participatory approaches, we sought to examine whether citizen science methodologies have been used in health promotion and see what it could add.

Academic publishing is increasingly prevalent in clinical training and practice, as part of the burgeoning field of academic medicine, where physicians are expected not only to perform their conventional clinical duties and responsibilities, but also increasingly have to engage in various forms of scholarly activities to contribute to evidence-based practice, as part of their key performance indicators. However, for physicians who are not trained as academics or scientists, the learning curve for scholarly endeavours can be steep and fraught with setbacks and rejections. Therefore, in this editorial article, we offer our perspectives as residents-in-training on the roles of both clinician-authors and journal editorial/peer review teams in facilitating healthy cognitive-emotional processing of unfavourable manuscript decisions in academic medicine.

Concrete production significantly contributes to CO emissions and depletion of natural resources, leading to substantial environmental concerns. The integration of polymers into concrete has emerged as a promising innovative solution aimed at overcoming inherent limitations of traditional concrete, including brittleness, susceptibility to tracking, environmental degradation, and substantial ecological impacts. This systematic review thoroughly investigates the properties, sustainability implications, and practical challenges associated with polymer-based concrete (PBC), particularly focusing on polymer concrete composites (PCC) and polymer-modified concrete (PMC) detailing their composition, mechanical behavior, and durability.
