Analysing the Effects of Organisational Politics on Nurses' Outcomes: The Moderating Role of Nurses' Professional Self-Concept.

Aims: To analyse how organisational politics can affect behavioural responses such as organisational deviance and organisational citizenship behaviour towards the organisation among nurses. It also investigates the mediating effect of affective commitment between organisational politics and behavioural responses, and assesses the moderating effect of nurses' professional self-concept in the relationship between organisational politics and its outcomes.

Design: A cross-sectional study was performed among 229 nurses.

Dietary, socioeconomic, and maize handling practices associated with aflatoxin and fumonisin exposure among women tortilla makers in 5 departments in Guatemala.

Previous research has demonstrated human exposure to mycotoxins among Guatemalans, with high levels of mycotoxins being found in blood and urine samples as well as in maize for human consumption. Mishandling of crops such as maize during pre- and post-harvest has been associated with mycotoxin contamination. The overarching goal of this study was to identify risk factors for aflatoxin and fumonisin exposure in Guatemala.

Epithelial cells play a crucial role in barrier defense. Here, Moniruzzaman et al. (2023.

Characterizing CD4 T cell differentiation in mouse small intestine using T cell transfer, lamina propria preparation, and flow cytometry.

Studying gene function in T cells is crucial for understanding physiology and disease pathogenesis. Here, we provide a protocol to examine the role of specific genes in CD4 T cell differentiation in the intestine. We describe steps for isolating naïve CD4 T cells from mouse spleens and transferring them to recipient mice.

Dietary and socioeconomic risk factors for fumonisin exposure among women of reproductive age in 18 municipalities in Guatemala from 2013 to 2014.

Fumonisin exposure is common in populations where maize is a dietary staple, such as in Guatemala, and has been associated with negative health outcomes including neural tube defects. The objective of this study was to estimate fumonisin B1 (FB1) exposure among Guatemalan reproductive-age women and develop a better understanding of the dietary and sociodemographic risk factors for exposure. A cross-sectional study in 18 municipalities in Guatemala was conducted.
