Healthcare institutions are dedicated to minimizing medication errors and promoting their reporting. This study investigates the impact of simulation on nursing students' attitudes toward and intention to report medication errors. A quasi-experimental one-group pre-post-test study was conducted.

Research findings may help predict the chances of readjustment upon return from captivity. The present study aimed to examine the challenges that the civilian hostages faced during captivity and how they dealt with the conditions of captivity.

- Researchers can quantify ribosomes in single bacterial cells using a technique called rRNA-FISH, which involves fluorescent tagging of ribosomal RNA instead of proteins.
- This method allows for comparing ribosomal levels during different growth stages without needing to genetically modify the bacteria.
- The protocol includes steps for sample preparation, staining, data collection via flow cytometry and microscopy, and guidance on ensuring accurate labeling through signal analysis.*
Engineered sex ratio distorters (SRDs) have been proposed as a powerful component of genetic control strategies designed to suppress harmful insect pests. Two types of CRISPR-based SRD mechanisms have been proposed: X-shredding, which eliminates X-bearing sperm, and X-poisoning, which eliminates females inheriting disrupted X-chromosomes. These differences can have a profound impact on the population dynamics of SRDs when linked to the Y-chromosome: an X-shredder is invasive, constituting a classical meiotic Y-drive, whereas X-poisoning is self-limiting, unable to invade but also insulated from selection.
