Observed and personally experienced discrimination: findings of a cross-sectional survey of physicians and nursing staff.

Background: Discrimination against hospital staff based on ascribed features is prevalent in healthcare systems worldwide. Detrimental effects on health and quality of patient care have been shown. Our study aims to describe and analyse the discrimination experiences of both physicians and nurses, specifically for the German hospital context.

Organisational and staff-related effects on cultural competence in the hospital setting: a cross-sectional online survey of nursing and medical staff.

Background: Cultural competence is considered a core qualification for dealing with socio-cultural diversity and balancing disparities in health care.

Objectives: To explore features supporting and inhibiting cultural competence in the hospital at both organisational and staff levels.

Design: Cross-sectional online survey in the form of a full census from May to November 2018.

Smooth anti-reflective three-dimensional textures for liquid phase crystallized silicon thin-film solar cells on glass.

Recently, liquid phase crystallization of thin silicon films has emerged as a candidate for thin-film photovoltaics. On 10 μm thin absorbers, wafer-equivalent morphologies and open-circuit voltages were reached, leading to 13.2% record efficiency.

Silicon Solar Cells on Glass with Power Conversion Efficiency above 13% at Thickness below 15 Micrometer.

Liquid phase crystallized silicon on glass with a thickness of (10-40) μm has the potential to reduce material costs and the environmental impact of crystalline silicon solar cells. Recently, wafer quality open circuit voltages of over 650 mV and remarkable photocurrent densities of over 30 mA/cm have been demonstrated on this material, however, a low fill factor was limiting the performance. In this work we present our latest cell progress on 13 μm thin poly-crystalline silicon fabricated by the liquid phase crystallization directly on glass.
