The nursing profession has been significantly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, and nurses continue to suffer emotionally and psychologically. The purpose of this study was to describe the experiences of chronic and ongoing occupational psychological trauma nurses have endured during the COVID-19 pandemic to present day. Eight nurses were interviewed between November 2022 and April 2023.

- The study introduces a low-cost automated test station, called "ATLAS-MAP," designed for measuring electronic transport in field-effect transistors.
- The system uses open-source PyMeasure libraries for instrument control and can perform various testing methods like transfer curve and van der Pauw with adjustable gate voltages.
- Zinc oxide transistors of different thicknesses and channel sizes were tested to validate the setup, with an emphasis on standardized testing procedures for effective data analysis.
Nanocrystals are widely explored for a range of medical, imaging, sensing, and energy conversion applications. CdS nanocrystals have been reported as excellent photocatalysts, with thin film CdS also highly important in photovoltaic devices. To optimise properties of nanocrystals, control over phase, facet, and morphology are vital.

Ambient pressure X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (AP-XPS) was employed to investigate the effect of applied potential on the interface of TiO(110) with 0.1 M HCl. The study, which involved operando electrochemical characterization, enabled real-time monitoring and analysis of electrochemical processes.

We sought to explore the association between SES and clinical characteristics, care quality and outcomes among patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) for severe AS.
Methods: Consecutive patients undergoing TAVI for severe AS at three hospitals between August 2008 and February 2023 were prospectively enrolled in a multicentre registry.
