Background: Ethical performance is one of the main components of maternal and fetal care. Nurturing and training students who meet professional ethics in midwifery is of utmost importance. It is essential to assess the level of adherence of students and graduates to the codes of ethics in order to determine the extent of education needs in this regard. Therefore, the present research aims to draw a comparison between the level of adherence to codes of ethics between midwifery students and graduates in the fields of midwifery and reproductive health department at Isfahan University of Medical Sciences.
Materials And Method: This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted in 2021-2022 on 93 midwifery students and 107 graduate midwives of Isfahan University of Medical Sciences. It is crucial to note that the study included all-year midwifery students. The data collection tools included a demographic questionnaire and one more questionnaire to assess adherence to the codes of ethics, which were made available to participants through Google Forms. Data were analysed using SPSS software statistics version (SPSS, Chicago, IL, USA). A significance level of 0.05 was considered significant for all tests.
Results: The mean adherence to codes of ethics was 79.01 ± 14.80 for the students and 79.07 ± 14.55 for the graduate midwives. There was a significant difference in the overall mean score of adherence to the codes of ethics, professional commitments, and self-communication between the two groups of students and graduates ( < 0.05).
Conclusion: Although ethics is addressed in midwifery education programs, it is required to put considerable emphasis on teaching codes of professional ethics to both the students and graduates. Additionally, an educational and clinical setting is required to identify errors and their causes so that it can help take steps towards adhering to codes of ethics.

Background: Substance use disorder affects over half of incarcerated individuals, with 23% experiencing opioid use disorder specifically. Addressing opioid use disorder in jails is crucial due to its association with increased recidivism and overdose. This study investigates the experiences of peer recovery specialists working with individuals with opioid use disorder and criminal justice involvement, focusing on barriers and facilitators to client connections.

RNA viruses have high genetic diversity, allowing rapid adaptation to environmental pressures, such as disinfection. This diversity increases the likelihood of mutations influencing the viral sensitivity to disinfectants. Ethanol is widely used to control viral transmission; however, insufficient disinfection facilitates the survival of less-sensitive viruses.

Background: Piwi-interacting RNAs (piRNA)s are non-coding small RNAs that post-transcriptionally affect gene expression and regulation. Through complementary seed region binding with transposable elements (TEs), piRNAs protect the genome from transposition. A tool to link piRNAs with complementary TE targets will improve our understanding of the role of piRNAs in genome maintenance and gene regulation.
