Large language model (LLM) agents are increasingly capable of acting in complex tool-use environments, yet they often fail to recognize when tasks are infeasible and no valid solution exists. Recent work has formalized this reliability gap as the problem of agentic abstention, and existing approaches typically optimize a model or agent harness against a fixed set of tasks, leading to limited generalization to unseen failure modes.
Supporting school admissions appeals through volunteering
The scheme gives colleagues across the firm the opportunity to support local communities and charitable causes through volunteering and skills-based initiatives. What is a school admissions appeal? When a child is refused a place at their preferred school, parents and carers have a legal right to appeal the decision.
GenProb-PCSM: A Simplified Weighted Germline Score for Prostate Cancer-Specific Mortality
1 Introduction Prostate cancer (PCa) is the most commonly diagnosed cancer among men in many countries and a leading cause of cancer-related death [1, 2]. Although most patients have indolent disease and excellent long-term survival [3], a subset develops metastatic disease, which remains largely incurable despite advances in systemic therapies and is the primary cause of PCa-specific mortality (PCSM) [4].
Germline genetic risk and prostate cancer–specific mortality in a population-based incident cohort
Abstract Multiple germline variants are associated with prostate cancer (PCa) susceptibility and aggressive features; however, their value for predicting prostate cancer–specific mortality (PCSM) at the time of diagnosis remains uncertain, particularly among men with clinically localized disease. We evaluated associations between germline risk factors and PCSM among 14,644 men with incident PCa in the UK Biobank.

This is the ninth article in a series about travel and the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. In the run up to the Battle of Bunker Hill, some 1,500 newly minted minutemen were bivouacked in Massachusetts at Harvard University. Buildings were stuffed to the gills, soldiers spilling into barracks, and where students now crisscross Harvard Yard stood a row of privies and a slaughterhouse.

Invasive mechanical ventilation is a lifesaving therapy, but timely, safe discontinuation is essential to preventing extubation failure (EF) and related risks to health. We present a novel approach to EF prediction that leverages features classified in free-text respiratory therapy notes using a large language model and logistic regression pipeline.

Some students learning English can take at least 6 years to catch up to their peers. How can we support them better?
About one quarter of Australian school students are learning English as an additional language or dialect. This means their first language or dialect is something other than English and they need extra support to develop proficiency in what we call standard Australian English. This group of students includes immigrants and refugees from non-English speaking countries, children of migrant heritage where English is not spoken at home and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students.

Epiretinal membrane in uveitis: Rate, visual prognosis, complications and surgical outcomes
1 INTRODUCTION Epiretinal membrane (ERM) is defined as pre-retinal proliferation of myofibroblastic cells associated with extracellular matrix deposition.1 ERM formation has previously been reported to be present in approximately 40%–50% of patient with uveitis, and can lead to loss of visual acuity (VA), metamorphopsia, macropsia, or micropsia.2-4 There is a strong temporal relationship between ERM formation and cystoid macular oedema (CMO), which is the most common cause of severe vision...

Fewer than 1 in 5 students who are behind in Year 3 catch up and stay caught up Original
We want all students to finish school with the literacy and numeracy skills they need to take advantage of post-school opportunities and to participate fully in society. Currently, in Australia, many students don’t. The problem of not meeting learning standards starts early, with some students behind in Year 3. An important question is whether these students eventually catch up to their peers.

NAPLAN results inform schools, parents and policy. But too many kids miss the tests altogether - The Australia Today
By Lucy Lu and Olivia Groves The NAPLAN testing window has started for more than a million students in Years 3, 5, 7 and 9. Over the next nine days students will sit literacy and numeracy tests which are designed to measure their reading, writing, numeracy, grammar, punctuation and spelling. Education decision-makers will be holding their breath about how many students turn up for NAPLAN. Last year saw the steepest declines on record in secondary school student participation.
