Current Trends in Nursing II

3.4K
Trends in nursing are multifactorial and associated with changes in society, within the nursing profession, and in other professions. Notably, telehealth and remote nursing contribute to successful healthcare delivery for numerous patients and help reduce stress for nurses due to nursing shortages. Nurses can reach patients, monitor their conditions, and interact with them using computers, audio, visual accessories, and telephones—for example, remote patient monitoring systems. Likewise,...

Issues And Trends In Healthcare Delivery System

6.2K
The issues and trends in healthcare delivery are constantly changing. The COVID-19 pandemic is one recent issue that wreaked havoc on healthcare systems, causing a shortage of healthcare workers, high demand for medicines and supplies, and increased medical expenditure due to a lack of insurance. Other issues include rising healthcare costs and care fragmentation.

Trends in Lattice Energy: Ion Size and Charge

26.6K
An ionic compound is stable because of the electrostatic attraction between its positive and negative ions. The lattice energy of a compound is a measure of the strength of this attraction. The lattice energy (ΔHlattice) of an ionic compound is defined as the energy required to separate one mole of the solid into its component gaseous ions. For the ionic solid sodium chloride, the lattice energy is the enthalpy change of the process:

Ionic Radii03:10

Ionic Radii

33.4K
Ionic radius is the measure used to describe the size of an ion. A cation always has fewer electrons and the same number of protons as the parent atom; it is smaller than the atom from which it is derived. For example, the covalent radius of an aluminum atom (1s22s22p63s23p1) is 118 pm, whereas the ionic radius of an Al3+ (1s22s22p6) is 68 pm. As electrons are removed from the outer valence shell, the remaining core electrons occupying smaller shells experience a greater effective nuclear...

Atomic Radii and Effective Nuclear Charge

61.8K
The elements in groups of the periodic table exhibit similar chemical behavior. This similarity occurs because the members of a group have the same number and distribution of electrons in their valence shells.

Summary

Contrary to popular belief, most hormesis research is publicly funded. Analysis of articles from 1995-2015 revealed federal and state agencies exclusively funded 78% of reported hormesis research.

Area of Science:

  • Toxicology
  • Pharmacology
  • Environmental Health

Background:

  • Hormesis research funding has been debated, with a common assumption of private sector dominance.
  • This assumption raises concerns about potential bias in hormesis studies.
  • Clarifying funding sources is crucial for understanding research integrity.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the funding sources of hormesis research.
  • To determine the proportion of private versus public funding in this field.
  • To address the assumption of private sector bias.

Main Methods:

  • Hormesis research articles were identified from online databases.
  • Data was collected in 5-year increments from 1995 to 2015.
  • Articles reporting funding sources were categorized by sector (public/private).

Main Results:

  • A total of 710 articles were analyzed, with 383 reporting funding information.
  • The assumption of majority private funding was not supported.
  • Public sector funding (federal and state agencies) exclusively accounted for 78% of reported research funding.

Conclusions:

  • Public funding, not private, predominantly supports hormesis research.
  • Increased funding transparency is vital for research perception and application.
  • Accurate reporting of funding sources enhances scientific credibility.
