Did changing work and family demands during COVID-19 (de)motivate academic parents to craft sustainable careers?

Background: Covid-19 has introduced many contextual changes into individuals' work and family lives, affecting their career sustainability. Although previous studies have provided evidence for these changes, little is known about how changing contextual demands (de)motivated them to take proactive initiatives for crafting sustainable careers.

Objective: This study aims to explore how changing work and family demands of academic parents during Covid-19 affected their career sustainability indicators and career initiatives regarding health, happiness, and productivity.

Modeling of methylene blue removal on FeO modified activated carbon with artificial neural network (ANN).

In this study, AC/FeO adsorbent was first synthesized by modifying activated carbon with FeO The structure of the adsorbent was then characterized using analysis techniques specific surface area (BET), Scanning Electron Microscopy with Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (SEM-EDX), and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). Equilibrium, thermodynamic and kinetic studies were carried out on the removal of methylene blue (MB) dyestuff from aqueous solutions AC/FeO adsorbent. The Langmuir maximum adsorption capacity of AC/FeO was 312.

Hemodialysis Patients' Knowledge of, Beliefs about, and Practices in Using Complementary and Alternative Medicine: An Exploratory Study.

Context: Patients undergoing hemodialysis (HD) are increasingly interested in complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) due to their desire to access symptom-reducing interventions, the inability of most medical teams to devote enough time to their patients, and the cost of treatments.

Objectives: The aim of the study was to determine the knowledge of, beliefs about, and practices in using CAM of HD patients living in eastern Turkey.

Design: The research team performed a descriptive, cross-sectional study.
