During the COVID-19 pandemic, there was a rapid global uptake by healthcare practitioners, including nurses, of digital health to support the healthcare needs of their communities. This increase in the use of technology has impacted nurses, although there is a lack of research that explores nurses' concerns internationally, and this is equally true for New Zealand. We report the qualitative results from two surveys with New Zealand nurses, one in 2020 (n = 220) and the second in 2022 (n = 191), about their concerns of using digital technologies. Similar themes were discovered between the two data sets. Challenges around access were a common theme to both surveys. This included access to systems, connectivity, devices, and the Internet. The 2020 survey also identified inequities as a theme, whereas the 2022 survey noted poor engagement from staff. Changes to the infrastructure of the New Zealand healthcare system have been introduced, and it is hopeful that the issues of access to data and digital technologies across the country will be rectified.

Ni-Fe (oxy)hydroxides are among the most active oxygen evolution reaction (OER) catalysts in alkaline media. However, achieving precise control over local asymmetric Fe-O-Ni active sites in Ni-Fe oxyhydroxides for key oxygenated intermediates' adsorption steric configuration regulation of the OER is still challenging. Herein, we report a two-step dealloying strategy to fabricate asymmetric Fe-O-Ni pair sites in the shell of NiOOH@FeOOH/NiOOH heterostructures from NiFe Prussian blue analogue (PBA) nanocubes, involving anion exchange and structure reconstruction.

Background: The ability to access and evaluate online health information is essential for young adults to manage their physical and mental well-being. With the growing integration of the internet, mobile technology, and social media, young adults (aged 18-30 years) are increasingly turning to digital platforms for health-related content. Despite this trend, there remains a lack of systematic insights into their specific behaviors, preferences, and needs when seeking health information online.

The widespread dissemination of fake news presents a critical challenge to the integrity of digital information and erodes public trust. This urgent problem necessitates the development of sophisticated and reliable automated detection mechanisms. This study addresses this gap by proposing a robust fake news detection framework centred on a transformer-based architecture.

Against the backdrop of grassland ecological degradation, grassland transfer has become a crucial pathway for optimizing livestock resource allocation and promoting sustainable pastoral development. Based on survey data from 383 herder households in the farming-pastoral ecotone of Inner Mongolia, China, this study applies Heckman models, mediation models, and moderation models to examine the impact of digital technology on herders' grassland leasing-in decisions and the underlying mechanisms. The results indicate that digital technology significantly increases both the probability and the scale of grassland leasing-in among herders.

At present, significant progress has been made in the research of image encryption, but there are still some issues that need to be explored in key space, password generation and security verification, encryption schemes, and other aspects. Aiming at this, a digital image encryption algorithm was developed in this paper. This algorithm integrates six-dimensional cellular neural network with generalized chaos to generate pseudo-random numbers to generate the plaintext-related ciphers.
