Opinion dynamics in dynamical hypergraphs, mirroring the dynamical nature of high-order social interactions, are attracting increasing attention. Opinion dynamics on high-order interactions lead to non-trivial dynamical patterns compared with that on pairwise networks. How should we systematically understand the intrinsic differences between opinion dynamics in hypergraphs and that in networks? We establish a voter model in a dynamical hypergraph. We find that both opinion formation and transient topology are captured by a single multi-player game, provided that the hypergraphs evolve sufficiently fast. The Nash equilibrium analysis facilitates us to reveal the intrinsic differences between high-order interactions and pairwise interactions in the empirical system. Furthermore, we perform simulations to show how robust our theoretical results are beyond fast rewiring. Our work provides a game route for opinion dynamics and sheds a hidden connection between opinion formation on dynamical high-order interactions and multi-player games.

Background: Despite evidence that mothers-in-law (MILs) influence daughters-in-law's (DILs) fertility and family planning decisions in South Asia, emphasizing early fertility and male grandchildren, few reproductive health interventions engage MILs directly.
Objectives: We assessed the feasibility, acceptability, and qualitative impact of a reproductive health and life skill-based intervention on MILs in tribal Rajasthan, India, using a mixed-methods, single-group cluster pilot study.
Methods: We tested a light-touch four-session intervention delivered over 4 months to MILs of newly married women that covered MILs' health, conception, and communication with DILs and sons and addressed modern healthcare misconceptions, while challenging son preference and fertility norms.

In this paper, an event-triggered fuzzy control algorithm is proposed for the unmanned surface vessel (USV) and unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) cooperative plant to achieve the high-precision landing mission. In the guidance module, an L virtual ship-L virtual aerial vehicle (LVS-LVA) guidance principle is developed to generate the reasonable reference signals for the USV-UAV plant under the landing mission. The proposed guidance principle incorporates a rolling kinematic compensation mechanism based on the 4-degree-of-freedom model of USV, specifically designed to counteract wave-induced rolling disturbances during UAV landing operations on unstable marine platforms.

Background And Objectives: General practitioner (GP) recruitment strategies have been explored in previous research and are vital to workforce development. This study explores factors that influence engagement with Tasmanian GP training pathways and hence GP workforce recruitment and supply.
Method: Eighteen interviews investigated the experiences of Tasmanian GP trainees, supervisors and trainee support personnel to explore enablers and barriers to training engagement.

Protists comprise the vast majority of eukaryotic genetic and functional diversity. While they have traditionally been difficult to study due to their small size and varied phenotypes, environmental sequencing studies have revealed the stunning diversity and abundance of protists in all ecosystems. Protists are key primary and secondary producers across many biomes, with ecological specializations that range from mutualism to parasitism, complex predation behaviors, mixotrophy, detritivory, and saprotrophy.

Background: Critical care outreach team (CCOT) nurses are part of hospital emergency response teams, assessing and mobilising resources for decompensating patients. Although a significant proportion of this role involves addressing end-of-life (EOL) issues, this role is ill-defined in the literature and in practice.
Aim: To explore the experiences of CCOT nurses with EOL conversations.
