Evolution of Postpandemic Nurse Orientation Through an Academic-Practice Partnership.

An academic-practice partnership engaged in redesigning the postpandemic orientation process for newly hired nurses in a large academic health system. Results from needs assessments and collaboration efforts informed the orientation program redesign, and the National Implementation Research Network framework guided project development. The orientation redesign aimed to enhance efficiency, readiness for unit-specific orientation, and stakeholder satisfaction.

Longitudinal association of conduct and emotional problems with school exclusion and truancy: A fixed effect analysis of the UK Millennium Cohort Study.

Background: There is a need for causally stronger research on the association between child mental health and school exclusion and truancy. This study examines school exclusion and truancy in relation to both conduct and emotional problems and considers these problems both as predictors and as outcomes of school exclusion and truancy.

Method: The sample included 15,236 individuals from the Millennium Cohort Study, a UK longitudinal birth cohort study.

Soybean Cyst Nematode Population Development and its Effect on Pennycress in a Greenhouse Study.

Midwest crop production is dominated by two summer annual crops grown in rotation, viz., corn ( L.) and soybean ( L.

Chromosome-level Thlaspi arvense genome provides new tools for translational research and for a newly domesticated cash cover crop of the cooler climates.

Thlaspi arvense (field pennycress) is being domesticated as a winter annual oilseed crop capable of improving ecosystems and intensifying agricultural productivity without increasing land use. It is a selfing diploid with a short life cycle and is amenable to genetic manipulations, making it an accessible field-based model species for genetics and epigenetics. The availability of a high-quality reference genome is vital for understanding pennycress physiology and for clarifying its evolutionary history within the Brassicaceae.

Diversifying bioenergy crops increases yield and yield stability by reducing weed abundance.

Relationships between species diversity, productivity, temporal stability of productivity, and plant invasion have been well documented in grasslands, and these relationships could translate to improved agricultural sustainability. However, few studies have explored these relationships in agricultural contexts where fertility and weeds are managed. Using 7 years of biomass yield and species composition data from 12 species mixture treatments varying in native species diversity, we found that species richness increased yield and interannual yield stability by reducing weed abundance.
