Issue Addressed: Human actions have led to a range of global environmental changes. Health professionals must be prepared to deliver systemic changes to mitigate and adapt to the ecological crisis. This rapid review aimed to describe exemplar frameworks that inform planetary health education across health professions. Methods: The rapid review methodology was informed by a scoping review process. A targeted search strategy was conducted using one representative database and additional strategies such as expert consultation and citation searching were used. Results are described narratively. Results: Of the 11 637 articles, 17 were eligible for inclusion. The frameworks differed, with many recently developed for health professions broadly using a range of methodologies, including qualitative research, opinion/consensus data, literature reviews, and adaptation of previous models. Models such as metric‐based scoring indicators and Sustainable Quality Improvement were featured in the frameworks, as were the application of First Nations Natural Laws. Conclusion: This rapid review identifies and showcases accessible, interdisciplinary frameworks to inform the integration of planetary health in curricula, highlighting a rapidly evolving field through which interdisciplinary collaborations in healthcare are important to inform its pedagogy and application. Health education is an important component of health promotion; and thus this rapid review offers a range of approaches that health professionals, health promotion practitioners, and educators can use to inform the integration of planetary health, including sustainable healthcare, into curricula. So What?: Educational frameworks are informed by research and practice and provide key guidance to practitioners and educators; summarising key available planetary health education frameworks consolidates and guides effective education and builds on the existing body of knowledge to support urgent pro‐environmental change.

The paper starts with an overview of various blended wing body aircraft design projects in relation to their aerodynamic behaviour. After a theoretical assessment of the ideal aerodynamic performance for the baseline configuration, viscous flow simulations were carried out to investigate the aerodynamic performance of the baseline design. The effects of spanwise distribution on the BWB aircraft aerodynamic efficiency were studied through an inverse twist design approach, combining both a low-fidelity panel method and a high-fidelity Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes solution method. Following the inverse design studies, the BWB wing was mapped to an aerofoil optimisation problem and the optimised aerofoil was projected back to the BWB wing to investigate further performance improvement. Finally, three-dimensional aerodynamic surface optimisation of the BWB is carried out based on both continuous and discrete adjoint approaches. A progressive improvement of the aerodynamic performance is demonstrated for the given BWB planform and the design cruise condition.

The Air Force Research Laboratory/Phillips Laboratory magnetically insulated transmission line oscillator (MILO) is a gigawatt-class, L-band, high-power microwave tube driven by a 500-kV, 60-kA electron beam. A previous version of this tube [1] generated 1.5 GW pulses, but with significant RF pulse shortening. This paper reports on improvements to the tube that have allowed us to increase the output power by 25% and to increase the RF pulse duration by a factor of two and a half. Index Terms - Crossed-field device, high-power microwave tube, magnetically insulated transmission line oscillator, MILO.

Promising pharmacological treatments, such as rituximab, have failed in more stringent tests including randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and meta-analysis. While non-pharmacological interventions may be safer, less costly, and address other common comorbidities, to date only aerobic exercise seems to be effective at reducing fatigue in pSS. All interventions, pharmacological or not, need to be tested in high-quality RCTs. The aim of this review is to provide an overview of fatigue management in pSS and discuss potential opportunities for future research.Keywords: primary Sjögren’s syndrome, fatigue, treatment, review
