Summary: This study aims to understand the agendas of the Global South supported by northern agencies. Through a methodological proposal that combines lexicometric analysis, grant data-based content analysis, and funding data, four central agendas were identified in the literature: state role and non-western countries cooperation; decolonial research and feminist perspectives; academic collaboration and education in science production; and developmentalism in underdeveloped Global South countries. Additionally, the study found that Latin America and the Caribbean reinforce an agenda based on the South that could be applied in the North, highlighting the emergence of a multipolar world and the need to strengthen research in the region.

Summary: Suicide bereavement is a challenging experience that affects relationships, feelings, and physical and mental health. Studying dreams during this period can enhance our understanding of how the loved one's suicide impacts individuals and the functions dreams serve during the bereavement process. This study explored the functions of dreams of the deceased in a sample of 9 women who had experienced partner suicide bereavement. Through semi-structured interviews and reflexive thematic analysis, three themes emerged: dreams as a source of help during the bereavement process, dreams reflecting the traumatic aspects of suicide bereavement, and dreams functioning as a space to maintain or sever the relationship with the deceased. The findings highlight the varied roles dreams can play and their validity in suicide bereavement.

Summary: The 2015 Paris declaration mandated international development organizations to assess the climate compatibility of their projects. For irrigation projects, estimating greenhouse gas emissions accurately has become crucial. Emission calculators have been developed to bridge climate science and development knowledge infrastructures, but this approach also introduces uncertainty in predictions.

Summary: Clinical trials are crucial for generating evidence and improving patient outcomes, but participants often face trade-offs and misunderstandings, leading to the 'therapeutic misconception'. The evolution of clinical trials and healthcare challenges the significance of this misconception and calls for a re-examination of the ethics surrounding trial access, participant selection, communication, consent, and role delineation.

Summary: Military employees face moral dilemmas that can have significant impacts on society and their personal lives. In order to support them in making ethical decisions, researchers developed and evaluated a value-based reflection tool. The findings suggest that this tool can enhance moral competence in organizational settings by stimulating reflection, empathy, and psychological safety.

Summary: Sexual and gender minoritized (SGM) adolescents navigate their sexuality in a heteronormative society, with outness being associated with both peer victimization and increased feelings of connectedness. The outness inventory (OI), a commonly used tool to measure outness among SGM adults, has never been validated with an SGM adolescent population. This study examines the psychometric defensibility of the OI among SGM adolescents, finding that a two-structure model of outness to family and world represents the social contexts in which SGM adolescents negotiate their outness.

Summary: Welfare deservingness opinions are crucial for understanding the social legitimacy of the welfare state. This article argues that focusing on welfare-state related knowledge and young people in research can enrich debates in deservingness and welfare attitude research. Studying young people provides unique opportunities to understand the causal mechanisms between knowledge, deservingness, and welfare attitudes, as well as challenge misinformation and build resilience against disinformation.

Summary: Scholarly literature has extensively studied cross-sectoral collaboration, but often overlooks differences among different service categories. This study fills this gap by exploring nonprofit-local government collaboration in a developing country, going beyond the traditional Western settings. Using a unique dataset from Lebanese nonprofit managers, the study finds that collaboration likelihood varies by service focus, and identifies patterns explaining the association between service category and perceived weak institutional features in collaboration.

Summary: People who can get pregnant and use drugs face disproportionate harms and have unmet reproductive health needs. Recovery community centers provide support services, but recovery coaches lack training in addressing reproductive health issues. A bundled model, including training and low-barrier resources, was developed to enhance reproductive health outcomes in this population.

Summary: This paper discusses the importance of expert communication in scientific integrity codes and introduces a new ethical framework, emphasizing that expert communication should be viewed as an intrinsically ethical activity of a deliberative agent. It points out that expert communication involves moral trade-offs, and ethicality cannot be ensured simply by complying with various requirements.
