Midwives' and nurses' experiences of providing postnatal care in partnership: A cross-sectional study.

Problem: It is unknown whether the deployment of registered nurses to assist midwives in the provision of postnatal care eases the burden of workforce shortages.

Background: The largest public maternity health service in Western Australia began employing registered nurses in 2022 to assist midwives with the provision of postnatal care on maternity wards in response to staffing shortages, exacerbated by COVID-19.

Aim: To explore midwives' and registered nurses' experiences of providing postnatal care on maternity wards together.

An aperiodic chiral tiling by topological molecular self-assembly.

Studying the self-assembly of chiral molecules in two dimensions offers insights into the fundamentals of crystallization. Using scanning tunneling microscopy, we examine an uncommon aggregation of polyaromatic chiral molecules on a silver surface. Dense packing is achieved through a chiral triangular tiling of triads, with N and N ± 1 molecules at the edges.

Embracing native diversity to enhance the maximum quantum efficiency of photosystem II in maize.

The sustainability of maize cultivation would benefit tremendously from early sowing, but is hampered by low temperatures during early development in temperate climates. We show that allelic variation within the gene encoding subunit M of the NADH-dehydrogenase-like (NDH) complex (ndhm1) in a European maize landrace affects several quantitative traits that are relevant during early development in cold climates through NDH-mediated cyclic electron transport around photosystem I, a process crucial for photosynthesis and photoprotection. Beginning with a genome-wide association study for maximum potential quantum yield of photosystem II in dark-adapted leaves (Fv/Fm), we capitalized on the large phenotypic effects of a hAT transposon insertion in ndhm1 on multiple quantitative traits (early plant height [EPH], Fv/Fm, chlorophyll content, and cold tolerance) caused by the reduced protein levels of NDHM and associated NDH components.

Perceived neighborhood disorder and achieving HIV viral suppression among adults living with HIV: A cross-sectional study.

Adherence to antiretroviral therapy (ART) is crucial for achieving and maintaining viral suppression in people living with HIV (PLWH). While individual factors affecting HIV viral suppression have been extensively studied, there is less attention on community-level factors, specifically perceived neighborhood disorder. This study aims to assess the relationship between perceived neighborhood disorder and achieving virologic suppression among people living with HIV.

Planar and Curved π-Extended Porphyrins by On-Surface Cyclodehydrogenation.

Recent advancements in on-surface synthesis have enabled the reliable and predictable preparation of atomically precise low-dimensional materials with remarkable properties, which are often unattainable through traditional wet chemistry. Among these materials, porphyrins stand out as a particularly intriguing class of molecules, extensively studied both in solution and on surfaces. Their appeal lies in the ability to fine-tune their unique chemical and physical properties through central metal exchange or peripheral functionalization.
