AI Article Synopsis
- State legislation called Practice Acts regulates healthcare professions and helps them establish a national presence.
- Consistency across state Practice Acts is crucial for a profession's growth and success in mainstream medicine.
- The study analyzed the histories of other health professions and the 45 acupuncture Practice Acts in the USA to identify strategies for better integration of acupuncture into the healthcare system.
Article Abstract
State legislation that authorizes any healthcare profession is known as the Practice Act. In order for a profession to establish a recognizable national presence and be integrated into mainstream medicine, all the state Practice Acts must evidence consistency. The extent to which state Practice Acts fail to exhibit consistency can inhibit the ability of the profession to grow and become successful. We looked at the histories of other health professions, along with the 45 acupuncture Practice Acts in the USA, in order to understand the time worn paths that lead to integration in the mainstream and how the acupuncture profession might benefit.

School of Public Health, Faculty of Medicine, The University of Queensland, Brisbane, Qld, Australia.
Background The high prevalence of non-consensual sex, including physical force, verbal threats, intimidation, and/or verbal coercion and rape among university students, has prompted urgent calls for action from governments, statutory, and university bodies. This research aims to identify key factors students see as contributing to non-consensual sex with a view to developing effective strategies to address these issues. Methods An online cross-sectional survey was administered to 4291 university students attending universities in south-east Queensland, Australia.

Background: Glyphosate is an extensively employed herbicide in agriculture, specifically for sugarcane cultivation. The situation is different with the extensive physiological and genetic effects exerted by this herbicide on a range of plant species, including sugarcane, whose model basis is still poorly characterized, although its primary mode of action, which acts on the EPSPS enzyme in the shikimic acid pathway, is completely elucidated. The current study was aimed at investigating the stability of glyphosate formulation, molecular interactions of glyphosate formulation with rbcL enzyme associated with chlorophyll metabolism, and its effects on varieties of sugarcane.

Infrared (IR) photodetectors play an important role in many fields such as industry, medicine, security, Achieving high response and maintaining stability in the device performance while reducing materials cost are required for the practical use of optical sensors. This study presents the development of a low-cost but high-performance IR photodetector based on a hybridization of up-conversion microparticles of NaYF:Tm,Yb (UCMPs) and reduced graphene oxide material (RGO). In this combination, UCMPs play the role of absorbing photons from 980 nm excitation light, generating electron-hole pairs, which are useful for sensing applications.

Silicon carbide and an aluminum alloy (SiC/AlSi12) composite are obtained during the pressurized casting process of the aluminum alloy into the SiC foam. The foam acts as a high-stiffness skeleton that strengthens the aluminum alloy matrix. The goal of the paper is to describe the behavior of the material, considering its internal structure.
