Professional well-being pathways: examining how social structures and workplace fulfillment influence stress-related outcomes among healthcare practitioners.

Background: Healthcare practitioners regularly encounter elevated levels of workplace demands and challenging personal circumstances that can profoundly impact their overall well-being, measured by the EQ-5D Index (0-1). This investigation employed a cross-sectional survey (N = 624) and semi-structured interviews (n = 20) in 2024 across six healthcare institutions in Dali, China, using PLS-SEM to test sequential mediation pathways.

Methodology: We examined the sequential mediation model: 'occupational/life stressors → social resources → professional engagement → well-being'.

Tunable chiral magneto-transport through band structure engineering in magnetic topological insulators Mn(BiSb)Te.

Berry curvature and spin texture are representative tuning parameters that govern spin-orbit coupling-related physics and are also the foundation for future device applications. Here, we investigate the impact of the Sb-to-Bi ratio on shaping the electronic band structure and its correlated first- and second-harmonic magneto-transport signals in the intrinsic magnetic topological insulator Mn(BiSb)Te. First-principles calculations reveal that the introduction of Sb not only triggers a topological phase transition but also changes the integral of the Berry curvature at the shifted Fermi level, which leads to the reversal of the anomalous Hall resistance polarity for Sb fractions > 0.

The aim of the present study was to construct a knowledge framework and to explore hotspots and emerging trends concerning use of IVIM in humans. MATERIAL AND METHODS The articles concerning IVIM MRI published from 1988 to 2021 were retrieved from the Science Citation Index Expended of the Web of Science Core Collection on 17, August 2021.

CTBP1-AS2 promoted non-small cell lung cancer progression via sponging the miR-623/MMP3 axis.
