A Multihospital Exploration Into the Utilization of Nursing Professional Development Practitioners in the Clinical Environment.

Nursing professional development practice is guided by the Association for Nursing Professional Development's Nursing Professional Development Scope and Standards of Practice, but practice varies with years of experience, practice setting, span of areas covered, and certification in nursing professional development. This study aims to explore practice in a multihospital system over 12 months utilizing the throughputs or responsibilities of the NPD Practice Model: collaborative partnerships, competency management, education, onboarding/orientation, inquiry (research/evidence-based practice/quality improvement), and role development.

Exploring the Relevance of Indigenous Knowledges to Dementia Care in Nursing.

In this paper, we engage in philosophical inquiry to consider the relevance of Indigenous Knowledges (IKs) for reimagining dementia care for individuals living with dementia. We outline the limitations of philosophical perspectives aligned with Eurocentric academic knowledge, arguing that such knowledge relies on an individualistic view of self and neglects the body and embodied experience in dementia care. We demonstrate how a personal diachronicity perspective diminishes the importance of valuing the fluid and dynamic self-identities of persons living with dementia.

Genetic insights into the first detection of Paracoccus marginatus (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae) in Australia.

Species spread in a new environment is often associated with founders' effect, and reduced effective population size and genetic diversity. However, reduced genetic diversity does not necessarily translate to low establishment and spread potential. Paracoccus marginatus Williams and Granara de Willink is a polyphagous pest that has invaded 4 continents in around 34 years.

Prolonged length of stay among individuals presenting to the emergency department with psychosis: Associations with sociodemographic and visit-level characteristics.
