[The nurse practitioner as responsible clinician: opportunities and challenges].

Background: The Compulsory Mental Health Care Act in the Netherlands (CMHCA) came into effect in 2020. Mental health nurse practitioners have since been allowed to be ‘responsible clinician’ However, there seems to be diversity in the implementation of the role in practice.

Aim: To investigate the state of affairs regarding the role of the mental health nurse practitioners as ‘responsible clinician’ within the CMHCA and reflecting on this topic.

Impact of irrigation, fertilizer, and pesticide management practices on groundwater and soil health in the rice-wheat cropping system-a comparison of conventional, resource conservation technologies and conservation agriculture.

Agricultural intensification in the Northwestern Indo-Gangetic Plain (NWIGP), a critical food bowl supporting millions of people, is leading to groundwater depletion and soil health degradation. This is primarily driven by conventional cultivation practices in the rice-wheat (RW) cropping system, which dominates over 85% of the IGP. Therefore, this study presents a systematic literature review of input management in the RW system, analyzes district-wise trends, outlines the current status, identifies problems, and proposes sustainable management options to achieve development goals.

Rainfall-induced microplastic fate and transport in unsaturated Dutch soils.

Microplastic pollution has become a growing concern in terrestrial ecosystems, with significant implications for environmental and human health. Understanding the fate and transport of microplastics in soil environment is crucial for effective mitigation strategies. This study investigates the dynamics of microplastic (Low-density polyethylene (LDPE), polybutylene adipate terephthalate (PBAT), and starch-based biodegradable plastic) transport in unsaturated soils under varying rainfall intensities and soil types, aiming to elucidate the factors influencing their behavior.

Exploring a tristhione scorpionate ligand as a suitable chelator for the theranostic pair antimony-119 and antimony-117.

Background: The highly potent Auger electron emitter antimony-119 (Sb) and the SPECT-isotope antimony-117 (Sb) comprise a true theranostic pair particularly suitable for cancer theranostics. Harnessing this potential requires development of a chelator that can rapidly form a stable complex with radioactive antimony ions at the low concentrations typical of radiopharmaceutical preparations. Stable Sb(III) complexes of hydrotris(methimazolyl)borate (TMe) are known, prompting our investigation of this chelator.
