From pervasive chaos to evolutionary transition: The experience of healthcare providers during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Aim: The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic confronted healthcare providers, especially physicians and nurses, with many unprecedented changes and physical and psychological pressures. This study aimed to explore the healthcare providers' experiences providing healthcare services for patients during the COVID-19 pandemic in "Golestan, Northeast Iran".

Design: Qualitative, conventional content analysis.

Nurses' experience of integrating evidence-based changes into their practice: A qualitative study.

Aim: To explore the experiences of neonatal and NICU nurses on participating in evidence-based changes in their neonatal pain management practice.

Design: It is a qualitative conventional content analysis.

Methods: A purposive sample with nurses working in neonatal and NICUs was used.

Molecular evaluation of Cryptosporidium spp. among breeding calves of Lorestan province Western Iran.

Background: Cryptosporidium spp. are opportunistic intestinal protozoans with global distribution and are of great importance as zoonotic protozoans are common to humans and domestic animals, including cattle and calves. Identification and detection of parasite species using precise methods including molecular methods can be an effective step in treating and controlling parasites.

Medication Errors and Their Relationship with Care Complexity and Work Dynamics.

Background: Medication errors are currently known as the most common medical errors. Research shows that work environment and organisation management, in addition to the role of nurses, contribute to the occurrence of an error.

Aim: Therefore, the present study was conducted to determine the rate of nurses' medication errors and its relation to the care complexity and work dynamics in the Taleghani Pediatric Hospital of Gorgan in 2017.

Pain Beliefs and Perceptions and Their Relationship with Coping Strategies, Stress, Anxiety, and Depression in Patients with Cancer.

Objective: The current study was conducted aiming at the investigation of pain beliefs and perceptions and their relationship with coping strategies, stress, anxiety, and depression in patients with cancer.

Materials And Methods: Study design: This was a descriptive-correlational and cross-sectional study. Data collection tools - Demographic questionnaire, Pain Beliefs and Perceptions Inventory, Pain Coping Strategies Questionnaire (Rosenstiel and Keefe), and Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale were used in this study.

Investigating surface morphology of Ag-AgCl thin film by scattering pattern at normal and oblique incident angles.

We study the formation of periodic nanostructures on Ag-AgCl thin films by irradiating s-polarized laser beams at different incident angles. A theoretical model is proposed to describe the formation of the structures based on interference of the incident beam and TE mode propagating in an AgCl slab waveguide. The line-space of periodic nanostructures on Ag-AgCl thin film can be manipulated by changing the incident angle and wavelength of the laser beam.

Investigating multicolour photochromic behaviour of AgCl and AgI thin films loaded with silver nanoparticles.

Multicolour photochromic behaviour in light-sensitive Ag-AgCl and Ag-AgI thin films at room temperature was investigated and compared. Although it seemed that the Ag-Ag halide thin films have similar optical properties, their optical responses to a monochromatic laser beam are completely different. It is shown that Ag-AgCl thin film changes its colour under light irradiation to the same colour of the incident light, regardless of the polarization state of the laser beam.

Systematic Surface Phase Transition of Ag Thin Films by Iodine Functionalization at Room Temperature: Evolution of Optoelectronic and Texture Properties.

We show a simple room temperature surface functionalization approach using iodine vapour to control a surface phase transition from cubic silver (Ag) of thin films into wurtzite silver-iodid (β-AgI) films. A combination of surface characterization techniques (optical, electronical and structural characterization) reveal distinct physical properties of the new surface phase. We discuss the AgI thin film formation dynamics and related transformation of physical properties by determining the work-function, dielectric constant and pyroelectric behavior together with morphological and structural thin film properties such as layer thickness, grain structure and texture formation.

Optical nano-structuring in light-sensitive AgCl-Ag waveguide thin films: wavelength effect.

Irradiation of photosensitive thin films results in the nanostructures formation in the interaction area. Here, we investigate how the formation of nanostructures in photosensitive waveguide AgCl thin films, doped by Ag nanoparticles, can be customized by tuning the wavelength of the incident beam. We found, silver nanoparticles are pushed towards the interference pattern minima created by the interference of the incident beam with the excited TE-modes of the AgCl-Ag waveguide.
