The burgeoning field of materials science is currently witnessing a paradigm shift toward the utilization of renewable plant biomass as a viable chemical source for the production of sustainable materials. This trend is substantiated by a significant corpus of recent experimental and theoretical research focused on the synthesis and property analysis of such polymers. Within this context, polybenzoxazines stand out as a pioneering class of thermosetting polymers, distinguished by their exceptional thermal and mechanical characteristics, coupled with the feasibility of synthesizing their precursor monomers from eco-friendly, renewable resources, including plant phenols and furfurylamine.

Background: Oncology nurses frequently contend with intense work-related emotions stemming from their roles, which include bearing witness to suffering, managing end-of-life care, and navigating ethical dilemmas. These emotional challenges can lead to burnout, compassion fatigue, and overall psychological distress.
Objective: To determine the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary effect of implementing Storytelling Through Music (STM) online with oncology nurses.

Caregiving challenges of Parkinson's disease can result in loss of faith, meaning, and spiritual distress. The purpose of this study is to describe Parkinson's disease caregivers' perceptions and experiences related to spiritual distress, sources of spiritual and religious support, acts, and experiences of growth, and finding meaning and joy in the midst of spiritual distress. We conducted semi-structured interviews with caregivers of persons with Parkinson's disease (n = 16) and identified five themes: (a) Bearing witness to suffering underlies spiritual distress; (b) Prayers are pleas for "soul help"; (c) Spiritual guidance and support are important; (d) Faith and community are sources of spiritual support; and (e) Joy, meaning, and growth help to transcend spiritual distress.

Background: First isolated in 1965 from a case of febrile encephalopathy, the Chandipura virus (CHPV) causes sporadic cases as well as periodic outbreaks of encephalitis in parts of India. Transmitted by sandflies and mosquitoes, CHPV infection has high mortality within 48 h of hospitalization, with children bearing the brunt of the illness. The virus garnered global attention in the middle of 2024 as India witnessed its largest outbreak in the last two decades.
