Collaboration and Satisfaction About Care Decisions in Team questionnaire-Psychometric testing of the Norwegian version, and hospital healthcare personnel perceptions across hospital units.

Aim: To translate "The Collaboration and Satisfaction About Care Decisions in Team" questionnaire (CSACD-T) into Norwegian and test it for psychometric properties. The further aim was to describe and compare healthcare personnel's collaboration and satisfaction about team decision-making (TDM) across hospital units.

Design: A cross-sectional study.

Thoughts of creation and the discipline of nursing.

Aim: The aim is to highlight thoughts of creation as a significant fundamental of the nursing discipline. This is achieved by exploring thoughts of creation in relation to everyday nursing care.

Design: This study, based on a hermeneutical approach, provides reused data drawn from a larger Norwegian empirical study.

Reconfiguring clinical communication in the electronic counselling context: The nuances of disruption.

Aim: This study expands on an earlier study about diabetes nurses' experiences of the Guided Self-Determination intervention in face-to-face consultations among people with type 2 diabetes. This current study investigates Guided Self-Determination in an electronic format with the aim to explore what can be learned about the written form for health communication from the perspectives of diabetes nurses in primary care.

Design: The study has an explorative, qualitative design.

Medication administration in nursing homes: A qualitative study of the nurse role.

Aims: The objective of this study was to expand the knowledge of the nurse role during medication administration in the context of nursing homes. The following research question guided the study:

Design: A QUAL-qual mixed study design was applied.

Methods: Data were collected using partial participant observations and semi-structured interviews of all staff members involved in medication administration.

Parental involvement in decision-making about their child's health care at the hospital.

Aim: To explore parents' experiences on parental involvement in decision-making about their child's health care at the hospital and to identify how health professionals can improve parental involvement.

Design: An explorative descriptive qualitative study within a constructivist research paradigm.

Methods: Individual semistructured interviews were conducted with a purposive sample of 12 parents.

Living with chronic pain: Patients' experiences with healthcare services in Norway.

Aim: To explore the experiences with healthcare received by people living with chronic nonmalignant pain in Norway.

Design: A descriptive and explorative qualitative design.

Methods: A total of 18 individual semistructured interviews was conducted in 2015.

Two species of Surcouf (Diptera: Calliphoridae) new to India, with data on larval behaviour and morphology.

Surcouf (Diptera: Calliphoridae) is an Old World genus of blow flies, the larvae of which feed on egg masses in the foam nests of various species of rhacophorid tree frogs. Here, we provide the first records for India (West Bengal, Eastern India) of Séguy, 1948 and Rognes, 2015, together with new information on the behaviour and morphology of their larvae. Active surface swimming to disperse from infested nests is documented in blow fly larvae for the first time, as is the presence of a large internal air sac presumably acting as a floating aid.

How do Tanzanian hospital nurses perceive their professional role? A qualitative study.

Aim: To describe the experiences of Tanzanian nurses, how they perceive their role as a professional nurse and their experience with nursing care in a general hospital.

Design: This study is explorative, descriptive and qualitative.

Methods: The data were collected in 2015 by means of 10 semi-structured interviews and was analysed using qualitative content analysis.

Learning to practise the Guided Self-Determination approach in type 2 diabetes in primary care: A qualitative pilot study.

Aim: To describe how diabetes nurses in primary care experience the process of learning to practise the person-centred counselling approach Guided Self-Determination among adults with type 2 diabetes.

Design: A descriptive qualitative design.

Method: Data were collected in 2014-2015 by means of individual interviews with four diabetes nurses at two points in time.

[Rapid development in prehospital physician staffed intensive care].

For the most severely injured and unstable patients physician staffed second tier emergency medical service (EMS) units are used in many European areas. Physician staffed prehospital care is associated with a high rate of survival, advanced trauma care and beneficial cost-effectiveness. In the Nordic countries anaesthesiologists staff the rapid response cars and ambulance helicopters.

Cascaded processing in written compound word production.

In this study we investigated the intricate interplay between central linguistic processing and peripheral motor processes during typewriting. Participants had to typewrite two-constituent (noun-noun) Finnish compounds in response to picture presentation while their typing behavior was registered. As dependent measures we used writing onset time to assess what processes were completed before writing and inter-key intervals to assess what processes were going on during writing.

Plant peroxisomes are degraded by starvation-induced and constitutive autophagy in tobacco BY-2 suspension-cultured cells.

Very recently, autophagy has been recognized as an important degradation pathway for quality control of peroxisomes in Arabidopsis plants. To further characterize the role of autophagy in plant peroxisome degradation, we generated stable transgenic suspension-cultured cell lines of heterotrophic Nicotiana tabacum L. cv.

PredPlantPTS1: A Web Server for the Prediction of Plant Peroxisomal Proteins.

Prediction of subcellular protein localization is essential to correctly assign unknown proteins to cell organelle-specific protein networks and to ultimately determine protein function. For metazoa, several computational approaches have been developed in the past decade to predict peroxisomal proteins carrying the peroxisome targeting signal type 1 (PTS1). However, plant-specific PTS1 protein prediction methods have been lacking up to now, and pre-existing methods generally were incapable of correctly predicting low-abundance plant proteins possessing non-canonical PTS1 patterns.
