Experiences of undergraduate nursing students and new graduate nurses in paid employment models and health-related work influencing the transition to practice: a qualitative systematic review protocol.

Objective: This review aims to synthesize qualitative literature exploring the experiences of undergraduate nursing students and newly graduated nurses who are employed for less than 1 year in clinical settings after graduation. It will focus on those who had paid employment and health-related work experience during their undergraduate studies, examining the influence of these experiences on the transition to practice.

Introduction: Nursing professionals undergo a transformative journey, starting from envisioning themselves as nurses, to developing professional identity and competence.

Natural selection has driven the recurrent loss of an immunity gene that protects against a major natural parasite.

Polymorphisms in immunity genes can have large effects on susceptibility to infection. To understand the origins of this variation, we have investigated the genetic basis of resistance to the parasitoid wasp in We found that increased expression of the gene after infection by parasitic wasps was associated with a faster cellular immune response and greatly increased rates of killing the parasite. encodes a protein that is strongly up-regulated in the fat body after infection and localizes to the surface of the parasite egg.

Human rights implications of introducing a new mental health act - principles, challenges and opportunities.

Objective: The United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD), 2006 has influenced the evolution of mental health legislation to protect and promote human rights of individuals with mental illness.

How important is vehicle safety for older consumers in the vehicle purchase process?

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the importance of vehicle safety to older consumers in the vehicle purchase process.

Methods: Older (n = 102), middle-aged (n = 791), and younger (n = 109) participants throughout the eastern Australian states of Victoria, New South Wales, and Queensland who had recently purchased a new or used vehicle completed an online questionnaire about their vehicle purchase process.

Results: When asked to list the 3 most important considerations in the vehicle purchase process (in an open-ended format), older consumers were mostly likely to list price as their most important consideration (43%).

A preliminary estimation of motorcyclist fatal injury risk by BAC level relative to car/van drivers.

Objective: This study sought to quantify the fatal injury risks for motorcyclists associated with the riders' blood alcohol concentrations (BACs).

Method: Using a case-control study design with New Zealand data, fatal injury risk curves for motorcyclists and car drivers were modeled. A total of 142 fatally injured drivers/riders (cases) and 58,000 control drivers/riders were studied.

Good practice in the conduct and reporting of survey research.

Survey research is sometimes regarded as an easy research approach. However, as with any other research approach and method, it is easy to conduct a survey of poor quality rather than one of high quality and real value. This paper provides a checklist of good practice in the conduct and reporting of survey research.
