Effectiveness and learning experience from undergraduate nursing students in surgical nursing skills course: a quasi- experimental study about blended learning.

Background: Blended learning is increasingly being adopted, and yet a gap remains in the related literature pertaining to its skill performance, learning engagement and inner experience in undergraduate surgical nursing skills course.

Objectives: To investigate the changes in skills performance and learning engagement in the application of blended learning, and what it actually brings to nursing students.

Design: The study uses a historical control, two-armed, mixed and quasi-experimental design.

The complete chloroplast genome sequence of Focke 1910 (Rosaceae).

Focke is a type of tonifying kidney-essence herb used in China. We present the complete chloroplast (cp) genome of , a member of the genus . The complete cp genome of was 155,286 bp long and consisted of an 84,613 bp long large single-copy (LSC) region, an 18,697 bp long SSC region, and a pair of 25,988 bp long inverted repeats (IR).
