Article Abstract
Introduction: Work contexts can affect nurses' work and work outcomes. Work context factors of nurses, patients, or workflow can modulate nurses' organization of work and determine increased workloads.
Aim: The aim of this research was to analyze relationships between factors regarding the patient, the nurse, workflow, and nurses' work organization, to investigate whether work organization is related to physical, mental, and emotional workloads, and to explore whether one dimension of workload influences the other dimensions.
Methods: We used a cross-sectional design based on the Job Demand-Resources theory. We asked registered nurses, working in nine medical-surgical wards across three hospitals in Italy, to self-report on work organization and workloads regarding randomized shifts over three consecutive weeks. Four scales from the QEEW 2.0 questionnaire were used on an online survey for data collection. multivariable linear regressions with structural equation modelling were tested. The study was approved by the three local Ethics Committees.
Results: We received 334 questionnaires regarding 125 shifts worked. Patient complexity (β = 0.347), patient specialties (β = 0.127), adequacy of staffing (β = -0.204), collaboration with colleagues (β = -0.155), unscheduled activities (β = 0.213), supply search (β = 0.141), and documentation (β = 0.221) significantly influenced nurses' work organization. Nurses' work organization was significantly related to physical, mental, and emotional nursing workloads.
Conclusions: the patient, the nurse, and workflow aspects influence nurses' work organization and workloads. Healthcare organizations, managers, and nurses should explore work settings to identify work turbulences early and implement strategies to improve nursing work conditions and workloads.

Background: Atherosclerosis, a leading cause of cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality worldwide, is characterized by dysregulated lipid metabolism and unresolved inflammation. Macrophage-derived foam cell formation and apoptosis contribute to plaque formation and vulnerability. Elevated serum galectin-3 (Gal-3) levels are associated with increased CVD risk, and Gal-3 in plaques is strongly associated with macrophages.

Background: In recent years, social media has emerged as a pivotal tool in implementation science efforts to address the HIV epidemic. Engaging community partners is essential to ensure the successful and equitable implementation of social media strategies. There is a notable lack of scholarship addressing the operational considerations for studies using social media strategies in community-partnered HIV research.

In this work, the superbase-mediated self-organization of tetrasubstituted pyrroles from three molecules of acetylenes and one molecule of nitriles was theoretically investigated. On the example of interaction of phenylacetylene with benzonitrile in the KOBu/DMSO medium, three possible pathways of the assembly of 2-benzyl-3,5-diphenyl-4-phenylethynyl-1-pyrrole have been studied using a combined B2PLYP-D3/6-311+G**//B3LYP-D3/6-31+G* quantum chemical approach. The calculated activation barriers correspond to mild reaction conditions (room temperature for 15 min).

Soy protein remains a key component of plant-based food development, but its application is challenged by inherent allergenicity. Previous work identified that native amyloid-like protein aggregates in soy 7S globulin that resist gastrointestinal digestion and exhibit pronounced antigenicity. Herein, we demonstrate that protein deamidation significantly enhances proteolysis under an infant gastrointestinal digestion model, leading to ∼80 and 50% reductions in IgG- and IgE-binding capacities, respectively.

The aim of the paper is to reflect on the importance of the teacher of the medical profession in graduate and postgraduate education. The objective of the analysis was a narrative reflection on the profession of a teacher of medical professionals based on the principles of medical education and specialization programs applicable in Poland. The core curriculum for teaching in the field of medicine was analysed in detail, including also the insufficiently developed principles of selection and education of academic and vocational teachers.
