Undergraduate Nursing Students' Attitude and Perception Toward High-Fidelity Simulation-Based Education in a Middle Eastern Country.

Introduction: Rapid use of technologically driven simulation environment in teaching-learning has caused mixed feelings among students. High-fidelity simulation-based education is superior in cultivating the knowledge, skills, caring, learning interest, and collaboration among nursing students. However, the nursing students' attitudes and perceptions toward high-fidelity simulation-based education are unexplored.

Prevalence, Severity Patterns and Risk Factors of Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia in Preterm Infants Younger than 32 Weeks of Gestation in a Tertiary Centre in Oman.

Objectives: This study aimed to determine the rate and severity patterns of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) and identify antenatal and postnatal factors associated with BPD in preterm infants <32 weeks of gestational age (GA).

Methods: This retrospective observational study included preterm neonates <32 weeks of gestation admitted into the neonatal intensive care unit between January 2010 and December 2017 at Sultan Qaboos University Hospital, Muscat, Oman. A data set of antenatal and perinatal factors were collected.

Spatiotemporal distribution of microplastics in Miri coastal area, NW Borneo: inference from a periodical observation.

The current study aims to investigate the spatiotemporal distribution of microplastics (MPs) in the Miri coast, targeting their occurrences, characterisation, and potential sources. For a periodical study, coastal sediments were collected from three different time intervals (monsoon, post-monsoon, and post-COVID) and subjected to stereomicroscope, ATR-FTIR, and SEM-EDX analyses. These results show a significant increase of MPs in post-COVID samples by approximately 218% and 148% comparatively with monsoon and post-monsoon samples, respectively.
