More than money: Core self-evaluations, job characteristics and work-family conflict among women.

Integrating work and family life is a relevant concern, especially for women in the banking industry. While the impact of job characteristics on work-family conflict is well-documented, the moderating role of core self-evaluations (CSE) remains underexplored. This study aimed to investigate the role of CSE in moderating the relationship between job characteristics and work-family conflict among married female bank employees in Nigeria.

Decoding the impact of night/day shiftwork on well-being among healthcare workers.

This study delved into the complex effects of work schedules on the well-being of healthcare professionals, spotlighting Nigeria's medical landscape. A diverse cohort of 387 participants, spanning doctors, nurses, pharmacists, and laboratory technicians or scientists, formed the research base, with the majority being women (67.7%), with a mean age of 34.

Baseline status regarding compliance with neo-BFHI recommendations in South African neonatal wards: a cross-sectional survey.

Background: In 2009, the World Health Organization and the United Nations Children's Fund issued a revised Baby-friendly Hospital Initiative (BFHI) package to encourage all healthcare facilities to promote the advice of exclusive breastfeeding. The scope of the BFHI was expanded to include neonatal units by the Nordic and Quebec Working Group.

Aim: To determine the level of compliance with the recommendations outlined in the "Baby-friendly Hospital Initiative for neonatal wards" (Neo-BFHI) in the South African neonatal wards.

Supervised pelvic floor muscle exercise is more effective than unsupervised pelvic floor muscle exercise at improving urinary incontinence in prostate cancer patients following radical prostatectomy - a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Urinary incontinence is one of the most clinically relevant side effects in the treatment of prostate cancer patients. The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to analyze the specific exercise effects of supervised versus unsupervised pelvic floor muscle exercise (PFME) and exercise volume on urinary incontinence status after radical prostatectomy.

Methods: A systematic data search was performed for studies published from January 2000 to December 2020 using the following databases: PubMed, Embase, SciSearch, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, and Database of Abstracts of Reviews and Effects.

Mental health and coping strategies during the COVID-19 pandemic: A qualitative study of unemployed and employed people in Nigeria.

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) significantly disrupted human activities all over the world. Despite this, little or nothing is known about mental health and coping strategies during the COVID-19 pandemic among the unemployed and employed people in Nigeria. Therefore, this study was an effort towards bridging this knowledge gap.

Selection of tree species for forests under climate change: is PSI functioning a better predictor for net photosynthesis and growth than PSII?

A chlorophyll fluorescence (ChlF) assessment was carried out on oak seedlings (Quercus ilex L., Quercus pubescens Willd., Quercus frainetto Ten.

Correction: Removal of fluoride ions using a polypyrrole magnetic nanocomposite influenced by a rotating magnetic field.

[This corrects the article DOI: 10.1039/C9RA07379E.].

Removal of fluoride ions using a polypyrrole magnetic nanocomposite influenced by a rotating magnetic field.

The impact of a varying rotating magnetic field in stimulating adsorption of fluoride ions onto a polypyrrole magnetic nanocomposite synthesized a polymerization process was evaluated. Under the effect of a rotating magnetic field, improved removal of adsorbate (10 mg L) from aqueous solution using the polypyrrole magnetic nanocomposite was observed, with a maximum removal of 78.2% observed at a magnetic field intensity of 0.

An Explanatory Model of Dating Violence Risk Factors in Spanish Adolescents.

Dating violence is a serious public health issue that needs further understanding in terms of risk factors that may be involved in it. The main goal of this study was to test a mediational model of dating violence risk factors. The sample was composed of 477 secondary and college students from Spain (59% females).

Tree diversity affects chlorophyll a fluorescence and other leaf traits of tree species in a boreal forest.

An assemblage of tree species with different crown properties creates heterogeneous environments at the canopy level. Changes of functional leaf traits are expected, especially those related to light interception and photosynthesis. Chlorophyll a fluorescence (ChlF) properties in dark-adapted leaves, specific leaf area, leaf nitrogen content (N) and carbon isotope composition (δ13C) were measured on Picea abies (L.
