Explaining the effect of authentic and ethical leadership on psychological empowerment of nurses.

Objective: This study aimed to explain the effect of authentic and ethical leadership on the psychological empowerment of nurses.

Background: Ethics-related leadership styles can play an important role in improving employee performance by influencing job satisfaction. However, no study has investigated ethics-related leadership and its impact on the psychological empowerment of nurses.

Electrochemical switching with a DNA aptamer-based electrochemical sensor.

The present study was focused on the application of NH-functionalized FeO/gold nanoparticles (FeO/AuNPs)-decorated carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in the development of electrochemical sensor for bisphenol A (BPA) detection. After the nanocomposite synthesis and its characterization, the optimization of the measurement conditions and working parameters of sensors were evaluated. Aminated detection probe (DNA aptamer) was surface confined on the NH-functionalized FeO/AuNPs surface using glutaraldehyde as a linker.
