Perception of female nurse towards its male nurse co-worker.

Background: Caring is a universally accepted concept attributed to the nursing profession despite its many nebulous and elusive interpretations. Nursing is seen primarily as a feminine occupation, people get surprised when they see and hear about a male nurse. It is one of the few professions where women outnumber men greatly as it deals with care and nurture.

Hexametaphosphate cross-linked chitosan beads for the eco-efficient removal of organic dyes: Tackling water quality.

There is an increasing trend of developing various low-cost grafted natural amino polysaccharides for the biosorptive removal of noxious dye effluents like Malachite green (MG) and anionic Reactive Red-195 (RR-195) dyes from aqueous solution. Chemically cross-linked chitosan microsphere (CTS-HMP), a promising non-toxic biosorbent possessing high charge density and thermal stability was prepared by using hexametaphosphate as ionic cross-linker. Batch biosorption experiments were carried out under different temperatures (298, 308 and 318 K), pH (2.

Pyrimidine-based pyrazoles as cyclin-dependent kinase 2 inhibitors: Design, synthesis, and biological evaluation.

A series of new pyrimidine-pyrazole hybrid molecules were designed as inhibitors of cyclin-dependent kinase 2. Designed compounds were docked using Glide and the compounds showing good score values and encouraging interactions with the residues were selected for synthesis. They were then evaluated using CDK2-CyclinA2 enzyme inhibition by a luminescent ADP detection assay.

Adsorption of lead (II) ions onto novel cassava starch 5-choloromethyl-8-hydroxyquinoline polymer from an aqueous medium.

Adsorption of lead (II) ions onto cassava starch 5-choloromethyl-8-hydroxyquinoline polymer (CSCMQ) was investigated with the variation in the parameters of pH, contact time, lead (II) ions concentration, temperature and the adsorbent dose. The Langmuir and Freundlich models have been applied. CSCMQ was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy.

Adsorptive amputation of hazardous azo dye Congo red from wastewater: a critical review.

Increasing amount of dyes in an ecosystem has propelled the search of various methods for dye removal. Amongst all the methods, adsorption occupies a prominent place in dye removal. Keeping this in mind, many adsorbents used for the removal of hazardous anionic azo dye Congo red (CR) from aqueous medium were reviewed by the authors.

Adsorptive removal of nickel(II) ions from aqueous environment: A review.

Among various methods adsorption can be efficiently employed for the treatment of heavy metal ions contaminated wastewater. In this context the authors reviewed variety of adsorbents used by various researchers for the removal of nickel(II) ions from aqueous environment. One of the objectives of this review article is to assemble the scattered available enlightenment on a wide range of potentially effective adsorbents for nickel(II) ions removal.

Synthesis and antimicrobial studies of s-triazine based heterocycles.

In an effort to discover new candidates with improved antimicrobial activities we report here the synthesis and in vitro biological evalution of various series of 2-(N-methylamino)-4-(N,N-dimethylamino)-6-(arylthioureido)-s-triazine (5a-j) and (N-methylamino)-4-(N,N-dimethylamino)-6-(arylureido)-s-triazine (6a-j). All the synthesized compounds were screened in vitro for their antibacterial activity against two different gram-positive bacteria (S. aureus, B.
