This study was performed to identify and analyze the distribution of nurses' work hours at a medical-surgical hospitalization unit, in view of the impact on making the nursing personnel dimensioning process effective during their work hours. Of the activities that nurses performed, 50% of the nurses' time was invested on indirect care interventions, 22% on direct care interventions, 18% on personal time activities, and 10% on associated activities. These data confirm previous reports that show a need to consider nursing personnel's personal time and associated activities in the official rightsizing methods.

The primary obstacle in electrolyzing water is that prolonged large-current operation quickly degrades performance, making it difficult to achieve efficient and continuous hydrogen evolution at high current densities. This work prepared sulfur-doped nickel ferrite nanocomposites using the simple hydrothermal method to improve electrocatalytic green hydrogen production at high-current densities. X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) were used to analyze the crystalline structure, morphology, and chemical composition of the synthesized nanocomposites.

Female physicians constitute an increasing proportion of the total physician workforce. Lengthy training often causes delays in family planning. When they feel ready and plan to have children, they might face demanding work hours, limited options for parental leave and child support, and potential stigmatization by peers and superiors.

Objectives: The purpose of this research was to assess the impact of exposure to heat on the physical, social, and mental health domains of adults residing in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), where the region faces great increases in temperature due to climate change. Previous research has focused mainly on physical health outcomes; this research addressed the expansive impacts of mental and social health, which remain understudied in the region.
Methods: A cross-sectional study surveyed 397 adults in the UAE using a structured questionnaire.

Introduction: Dysphagia is a common post-stroke neurological disorder. Early screening for dysphagia can identify patients at risk of aspiration, thereby reducing the occurrence of pulmonary complications, morbidity, and mortality in this population.
Objectives: This study aims to evaluate the impact of an intervention in a stroke unit, following a retrospective study carried out in the same unit in 2020, which investigated the association between dysphagia and acute cerebrovascular disease and analyzed the prevalence of readmissions due to respiratory tract infections (RTI) and mortality.
