The purpose of this research project was to determine if using the Coping with Labor Algorithm would lead to changes in the perception of the intrapartum (IP) nurses' beliefs toward birth practices and frequency of labor support interventions. Twenty-three participants completed the preintervention survey, which included the IP Nurses' Belief Toward Birth Practice Scale and the Labor Support Scale. Following completion of the preintervention survey, participants received a copy of the Coping with Labor Algorithm and Toolkit and then began implementation of the Coping with Labor Algorithm. After implementation, 13 IP nurses completed the postintervention survey. The surveyed IP nurses reported positive changes in their perceived frequency of labor support and a slight change in their birth beliefs.

Background: Village health workers (VHWs), popularly known as community health workers (CHWs) in some contexts and settings, should effectively complement health care providers in primary health care (PHC) delivery in Zimbabwe. However, they continue to offer services that do not address current and emerging health issues.
Aim: This study aims to review the literature and develop a conceptual framework to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of VHWs in service delivery.

Summary: Protein structure prediction aims to infer a protein's three-dimensional (3D) structure from its amino acid sequence. Protein structure is pivotal for elucidating protein functions, interactions, and driving biotechnological innovation. The deep learning model AlphaFold2, has revolutionized this field by leveraging phylogenetic information from multiple sequence alignments (MSAs) to achieve remarkable accuracy in protein structure prediction.
