Objective: To analyze the contradictions and ambiguities which permeate nurses' motivation for exercising leadership in management positions, in a university hospital.
Method: This study has a qualitative approach and is exploratory and descriptive, and used a total of 33 semi-structured interviews which were submitted to thematic analysis.
Results: The information converged on five categories: Motivation to take on a management position; The view of nursing managers on the exercising of leadership; The emblematic aspect of working with people; Leadership in nursing--mediatory and conciliatory; Time: a dilemma between managing and caring.
Conclusion: Leading people can be both a great encouragement, and an impeding aspect, bearing in mind the nuances of teamwork and the complexity of the context in which this process is constructed. In addition to this, conciliatory and mediatory attitudes are shown to be fundamental for a healthy and productive organizational atmosphere; however, the lack of time was indicated as a dilemma between managing and caring.

The transcription factor Runx2 plays a crucial role in regulating osteogenic differentiation and skeletal development. This factor not only controls the expression of genes involved in bone formation, but also interacts with signaling pathways such as the Notch pathway, which are essential for body development. However, studies have produced conflicting results regarding the relationship between Runx2 and the Notch pathway.

Objective: Pain in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is frequently neglected/overlooked, particularly in ulcerative colitis, and communication about pain can be suboptimal. The current study juxtaposes clinicians' conceptualisations of patients' pain with patient narratives. The aim was to inform the development of a pain reporting tool and provide guidance for better communication about IBD pain.

The article, based on original research from 246 villages, discusses contemporary marriage migrations of poor women from India's development peripheries to rural North Indian men. Anti-trafficking activists and organizations in India assert that migrant brides are trafficked into sexual slavery through 'coerced' alliances. Employing a postcolonial feminist lens, this article challenges hegemonic anti-trafficking discourse with its gendered presumptions about widespread 'bride-trafficking' by showing that the processes of cross-region marriage mediation and motives are replete with contradictions and ambiguities.

The discovery of antiferroelectricity in fluorite-structured binary oxides has opened up promising directions for next-generation electronic devices due to their excellent scalability and compatibility with silicon technology. However, understanding and improving the antiferroelectricity remain ambiguous and present considerable challenges for device applications. In this work, we discover a contradiction between the thermodynamic and kinetic effects of stress-modulated antiferroelectricity in ZrO thin films.
