We present a solid-state synthesis of ferromagnetic lithium niobate nanoparticles (LiNbO₃) and their corresponding structural aspects. In order to investigate the effect of heat treatments, two batches of samples with a heat-treated (HT) and non-heat-treated (nHT) reduction at 650 °C in 5% of hydrogen/argon were considered to investigate the multiferroic properties and their corresponding structural aspects; using magnetometry and scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM). Results indicate the existence of ferromagnetic domains with a magnetic moment per unit cell of 5.24 × 10 μB; caused mainly due to voids and defects on the nanoparticle surface, as confirmed by STEM measurements.

Evaluation of an interprofessional education program involving medical and pharmacy students: a mixed-method study.
BMC Med Educ
January 2025
Department of Clinical Pharmacy and Toxicology, Leiden University Medical Center, PO Box 9600, Leiden, 2300 RC, The Netherlands.
Background: Effective pharmacotherapy requires strong collaboration between physicians and pharmacists, highlighting the need for interprofessional education (IPE) in university curricula. This study evaluated the impact of an IPE program on medical and pharmacy students, focusing on their perceived development of interprofessional collaborative competencies, perceived learning outcomes, and clinical collaboration perceptions.
Methods: A mixed-method approach was employed to evaluate an IPE program that consisted of three mandatory activities with increased complexity and autonomy, that were integrated into the medical and pharmacy students' curricula.
A novel voting measure for identifying influential nodes in complex networks based on local structure.

Identifying influential nodes in real networks is significant in studying and analyzing the structural as well as functional aspects of networks. VoteRank is a simple and effective algorithm to identify high-spreading nodes. The accuracy and monotonicity of the VoteRank algorithm are poor as the network topology fails to be taken into account.

The Southern Ground Hornbill (SGH - Bucorvus leadbeateri) is one of the largest hornbill species worldwide, known for its complex social structures and breeding behaviours. This bird has been of great interest due to its declining population and disappearance from historic ranges in southern Africa. Despite being the focus of numerous conservation efforts, with research forming an integral part of these initiatives, there is still a substantial lack of knowledge regarding the molecular biology aspects of this bird species.

Anglia Ruskin University, Cambridge, UK. Electronic address:
Background: Involving people with lived experience in United Kingdom healthcare courses is a government directive and professional body recommendation, yet involvement remains non-standardised with minimal guidance. Previous literature has largely ignored the experiences of Nurse lecturer's in this work, yet they provide vital resources in promoting, sustaining and developing the involvement of people with lived experience.
Aim: To explore adult nurse lecturers' experiences of working with people with lived experience in two higher educational institution settings.

The cerebellum is a structure in the suprasegmental nervous system classically known for its involvement in motor functions such as motor planning, coordination, and motor learning. However, with scientific advances, other functions of the cerebellum, such as cognitive, emotional, and autonomic processing, have been discovered. Currently, there is a body of evidence demonstrating the involvement of the cerebellum in nociception and pain processing.
