Aim: To explore registered nurses' (RNs) perspectives about the health care system, management/leadership, patients and spirit at work (SAW).
Background: Researchers investigating RNs experiences of reduced job satisfaction and diminishing organisational commitment are looking carefully at spirit at work as a means to foster healthier workplaces.
Methods: A descriptive, cross-sectional mixed methods design was used to measure and explore the relationships between spirit at work, job satisfaction and organisational commitment. A 2012 postal survey sent by the provincial licensing body to a random sample of 217 surgical and 158 home care registered nurses' in western Canada returned 179 surveys. Seventy-five respondents answered the open-ended survey question. Their responses warrant further content analysis and serve as the foundation of this article.
Results: Participants noted that organisational structures and policies, combined with unsupportive leadership, were associated with a reduced sense of community, lack of trust and diminished accountability.
Conclusion: Spirit at work was described as sustaining registered nurses' and providing them with hope as they fulfilled their covenant of care with patients.
Implications For Nursing Management: Leadership attention to the advancement of SAW may support the covenant of care between the registered nurses and patient while fostering healthier workplaces.

Background: In healthcare settings, particularly in intensive care units, nurses face significant stress due to the high demands of their job. This stress can impact their job satisfaction, mental health, and overall quality of life. Emotional intelligence has been identified as a crucial factor that can mitigate workplace stress and enhance job satisfaction.

A varietal origin of eugenol was previously demonstrated in Baco blanc, a major grapevine variety used to produce Armagnac wine spirits. Eugenol was found in high amount, both as the free and as unidentified glycosylated forms. To reveal their identity, a specific method was developed and applied to berry skin extracts.

Potassium-ion batteries (KIBs) have attracted significant attention in recent years as a result of the urgent necessity to develop sustainable, low-cost batteries based on non-critical raw materials that are competitive with market-available lithium-ion batteries. KIBs are excellent candidates, as they offer the possibility of providing high power and energy densities due to their faster K diffusion and very close reduction potential compared with Li/Li. However, research on KIBs is still in its infancy, and hence, more investigation is required both at the materials level and at the device level.

Article Synopsis
- The transmembrane potential is crucial for cellular functions like signaling and energy production, with Rhodamine voltage reporters (RhoVRs) serving as small, non-invasive sensors that can detect voltage changes, especially in mitochondria.
- Extensive simulations and free-energy calculations revealed that the orientation of RhoVRs relative to membranes, influenced by their polarized functional groups, significantly impacts their voltage sensitivity and localization within cells.
- The study's findings on the relationship between the chemical structure of RhoVRs and their membrane behavior offer valuable insights for designing fluorescent dyes that better detect voltage changes.
Guidelines and standard frameworks for artificial intelligence in medicine: a systematic review.
JAMIA Open
February 2025
Department of Medical Informatics, Institute for Community Medicine, University Medicine Greifswald, Greifswald D-17475, Germany.
Objectives: The continuous integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into clinical settings requires the development of up-to-date and robust guidelines and standard frameworks that consider the evolving challenges of AI implementation in medicine. This review evaluates the quality of these guideline and summarizes ethical frameworks, best practices, and recommendations.
Materials And Methods: The Appraisal of Guidelines, Research, and Evaluation II tool was used to assess the quality of guidelines based on 6 domains: scope and purpose, stakeholder involvement, rigor of development, clarity of presentation, applicability, and editorial independence.
