Objectives: This study explored the assessment of resilience at work among 1st-line nurse managers (NMs).

Background: Resilience is the ability to cope with stress. NMs have stressful roles and may ultimately withdraw from management if they lack resilient behaviors. Having a measurement of resilience at work in NMs and other healthcare workers may facilitate resilience development approaches.

Methods: In a descriptive, cross-sectional design, an electronic survey of 25-item, 7-subscale Resilience at Work (RAW) self-report assessment was distributed to 77 NMs.

Results: The highest reported subscale was living authentically; lowest was maintaining perspective. Total years as NM was related to overall RAW mean, maintaining perspective, staying healthy.

Conclusion: The application of an instrument to determine resilience may focus support for NMs on maintaining perspective, for example. Further study exploring the application of the RAW assessment to healthcare workers is indicated.

Chronic stress profoundly affects the structure and function of the prefrontal cortex (PFC), a brain region critical for executive functions and emotional regulation. This review synthesizes current knowledge on stress-induced PFC plasticity, encompassing structural, functional, and molecular changes. We examine how chronic stress leads to dendritic atrophy, spine loss, and alterations in neuronal connectivity within the PFC, particularly affecting the medial PFC.

The use of lithium (Li) in decarbonization strategies has positioned it as a central component of modern technological advances, particularly in battery applications. However, the increasing demand for Li has raised concerns about its environmental consequences, which are poorly documented. This study aimed to fill this knowledge gap by examining the impact of Li on soil bacterial/fungal communities.

Floods, which occur when the amount of precipitation surpasses the capacity of an area to drain it adequately, have detrimental consequences on the survival and future generations of fishes. However, few works have reported the prediction of this natural phenomenon in a relation to certain fish species, especially in fast-flowing rivers. In the specific context of the northern mountainous provinces of Vietnam, where the Spinibarbus sp.
