Educators continue to struggle to find ways to teach nursing research to undergraduate students in a meaningful and engaging manner. The purpose of this article is to describe the development of an undergraduate nursing research course that incorporates a clinical practicum as a foundation for learning research concepts and the research process. By incorporating a clinical component into the research course, students more fully appreciate the connection between research and practice, more readily understand theoretical concepts discussed in class, and become more actively engaged in the learning process. The development of the collaborative clinical research project is described from a process perspective.

As natural predators of bacteria, tailed bacteriophages can be used in biocontrol applications, including antimicrobial therapy. Also, phage lysis is a detrimental factor in technological processes based on bacterial growth and metabolism. The spectrum of bacteria bacteriophages interact with is known as the host range.

Investigation of Separating Temperature-Induced Structural Strain Using Improved Blind Source Separation (BSS) Technique.

Sensors (Basel)

December 2024

The State Key Laboratory for the Safety, Long-Life, Health Operation and Maintenance of Long-Span Bridges, Jiangsu Provincial Institute of Traffic Science (JSTI Group), Nanjing 210098, China.

The strain data acquired from structural health monitoring (SHM) systems of large-span bridges are often contaminated by a mixture of temperature-induced and vehicle-induced strain components, thereby complicating the assessment of bridge health. Existing approaches for isolating temperature-induced strains predominantly rely on statistical temperature-strain models, which can be significantly influenced by arbitrarily chosen parameters, thereby undermining the accuracy of the results. Additionally, signal processing techniques, including empirical mode decomposition (EMD) and others, frequently yield unstable outcomes when confronted with nonlinear strain signals.

Extraction of Natural-Based Raw Materials Towards the Production of Sustainable Man-Made Organic Fibres.

Polymers (Basel)

December 2024

Fibrenamics, Institute of Innovation on Fiber-Based Materials and Composites, University of Minho, 4800-058 Guimarães, Portugal.

Bioresources have been gaining popularity due to their abundance, renewability, and recyclability. Nevertheless, given their diverse composition and complex hierarchical structures, these bio-based sources must be carefully processed to effectively extract valuable raw polymeric materials suitable for producing man-made organic fibres. This review will first highlight the most relevant bio-based sources, with a particular focus on promising unconventional biomass sources (terrestrial vegetables, aquatic vegetables, fungi, and insects), as well as agroforestry and industrial biowaste (food, paper/wood, and textile).

Irregular illumination is a newly discovered ambient factor that affects dietary and metabolic processes. However, the effect of the modulation of long-term light exposure on appetite and metabolism remains elusive. Therefore, in this current study, we systematically investigated the effects of up to 8 weeks of exposure to red (RL), green (GL), and white light (WL) environments on appetite, food preferences, and glucose homeostasis in mice on both high-fat and low-fat dietary patterns.

Preparation and Efficacy Evaluation of Antihyperuricemic Peptides from Marine Sources.

Nutrients

December 2024

Engineering Research Center of Fujian and Taiwan Characteristic Marine Food Processing and Nutrition and Health, Ministry of Education, College of Food Science, Fujian Agriculture and Forestry University, Fuzhou 350002, China.

Marine-derived foods, often called blue foods, are promising sustainable alternatives to conventional food sources owing to their abundant amino acids and high protein content. Current treatments for hyperuricemia, a chronic condition attributed to purine metabolism disorders, are associated with various side effects. Novel peptide xanthine oxidase inhibitors have been discovered in the hydrolyzed products of marine fish and invertebrate proteins, which have demonstrated promising therapeutic potential by reducing uric acid levels in vitro and in vivo.
