uhlmann number in translational invariant systems.we define the uhlmann number as an extension of the chern number, and we use this quantity to describe the topology of 2d translational invariant fermionic systems at finite temperature. we consider two paradigmatic systems and we study the changes in their topology through the uhlmann number. through the linear response theory we link two geometrical quantities of the system, the mean uhlmann curvature and the uhlmann number, to directly measurable physical quantities, i.e. the dynamical suscep ...201931235825
change management in health care and mental health nursing.since nightingale implied that progress was inherent in good nursing, change has slowly but surely accelerated to a frenetic pace in health care and to a degree in nursing. however, the healthy progress and implications associated with change in the nursing profession are not as readily embraced as this pace may imply. rather, embracing change at the core of nursing and health care is a challenge as this is a group who it is suggested are not only resistant but also adept at reinforcing the stat ...201931219727
evangelism in patient care: an ethical analysis.evangelism has been present in modern nursing care from the days of nightingale in the crimea. even so, there is little in the way of ethical analysis and guidance regarding evangelism in healthcare. this article examines nightingale's concern about evangelism in nursing care; discusses the boundaries established by the 2015 american nurses association code of ethics for nurses with interpretive statements; and analyzes ethical issues including vocation, power, vulnerability and voluntariness, r ...202031180962

the aesthetic preference for nature sounds depends on sound object recognition.people across the world seek out beautiful sounds in nature, such as a babbling brook or a nightingale song, for positive human experiences. however, it is unclear whether this positive aesthetic response is driven by a preference for the perceptual features typical of nature sounds versus a higher-order association of nature with beauty. to test these hypotheses, participants provided aesthetic judgments for nature and urban soundscapes that varied on ease of recognition. results demonstrated t ...201931087588
the united nations sustainable development goals: the ethic and ethos of holistic nursing.holistic nursing is founded on the values of integrality and the awareness of whole-people and whole-system interconnectedness. these concepts are foundational to the broader global health agendas and initiatives of our time, which seek to improve human, animal, and planetary health. the united nations 2030 agenda for sustainable development represents the most remarkable transnational initiative in history: a 15-year plan (2015-2030) rallying the efforts of all countries, governments, and conce ...201931064259
evaluation of quality of life and health care needs in cancer patients receiving chemotherapy.symptoms are decisive in the quality of life of patients. progression of the underlying disease leads to many physical and psychological symptoms in patients. increases in these symptoms often prevent patients from complying with treatment. therefore, the symptoms must be recognized, evaluated, and controlled for the treatment to be effective. this study determined the unmet needs of patients undergoing chemotherapy treatment and the effects of these needs on the patients' quality of life. four ...202031054110
final services for florence nightingale.: editor's note: from its first issue in 1900 through to the present day, ajn has unparalleled archives detailing nurses' work and lives over more than a century. these articles not only chronicle nursing's growth as a profession within the context of the events of the day, but they also reveal prevailing societal attitudes about women, health care, and human rights. today's nursing school curricula rarely include nursing's history, but it's a history worth knowing. to this end, from the ajn arc ...201931033557
nursing and the sustainable development goals: from nightingale to now.: while health care often focuses on acute or chronic illness, the elements necessary for good health are far more complex than we tend to recognize. florence nightingale understood this complexity and wrote extensively on the myriad social and environmental factors that influence well-being. today these factors are termed "health determinants" and undergird the united nations 17 sustainable development goals (sdgs). this article explores how nurses can contextualize the sdgs within their daily ...201931033553
organising through compassion: the introduction of meta-virtue management in the nhs.this paper investigates the comprehensive compassionate care reform programme within the national health service (nhs) in england. through a synoptic reading of policy documents, we show how 'compassion' is introduced as an overarching meta-virtue designed to govern relationships and formal positions in health care. invoking an 'ethics of office' perspective, mainly drawing on the thinking of max weber, we evaluate the promotion of compassion as a managerial technology and argue how seemingly hu ...201931020681

reducing infections "together": a review of socioadaptive approaches.reducing healthcare-associated infections often requires the use of both technical and adaptive strategies. the experiences of semmelweis and nightingale teach us the importance of social adaptation of technical interventions. because most infection prevention interventions require widespread participation by healthcare personnel, it is helpful for infectious diseases physicians to learn principles of diffusion of innovations theory and apply them to influence different groups. comprehensive uni ...201930740469
sperm divergence in a passerine contact zone: indication of reinforcement at the gametic level.postcopulatory sexual selection may promote evolutionary diversification in sperm form, but the contribution of between-species divergence in sperm morphology to the origin of reproductive isolation and speciation remains little understood. to assess the possible role of sperm diversification in reproductive isolation, we studied sperm morphology in two closely related bird species, the common nightingale (luscinia megarhynchos) and the thrush nightingale (luscinia luscinia), that hybridize in a ...201930597549
nursing in an age of multimorbidity.a changing sociodemographic landscape has seen rising numbers of people with two or more long-term health conditions. multimorbidity presents numerous challenges for patients and families and those who work in healthcare services. therefore, the nursing profession needs to understand the issues involved in supporting people with multiple chronic conditions and how to prepare the future workforce to care for them.201830519145
influencing building design in care for older people.a florence nightingale foundation travel scholarship was used to support a nurse's journey to gather information and knowledge on aspects of building design for older people in emergency care. evidence on the effect of the environment on senior care is well established and some areas have carefully considered this when planning facilities for older people. the travel opportunity was used to explore how large-scale building design was carried out, and to understand how mindsets, models of care an ...201830418842
postcopulatory sexual selection reduces z-linked genetic variation and might contribute to the large z effect in passerine birds.the x and z sex chromosomes play a disproportionately large role in intrinsic postzygotic isolation. the underlying mechanisms of this large x/z effect are, however, still poorly understood. here we tested whether faster rates of molecular evolution caused by more intense positive selection or genetic drift on the z chromosome could contribute to the large z effect in two closely related passerine birds, the common nightingale (luscinia megarhynchos) and the thrush nightingale (l. luscinia). we ...201930374041

interspecific competition promotes habitat and morphological divergence in a secondary contact zone between two hybridizing songbirds.interspecific competition is assumed to play an important role in the ecological differentiation of species and speciation. however, empirical evidence for competition's role in speciation remains surprisingly scarce. here, we studied the role of interspecific competition in the ecological differentiation and speciation of two closely related songbird species, the common nightingale (luscinia megarhynchos) and the thrush nightingale (luscinia luscinia). both species are insectivorous and ecologi ...201829603471
affairs happen-to whom? a study on extrapair paternity in common nightingales.most birds engage in extrapair copulations despite great differences across and within species. besides cost and benefit considerations of the two sex environmental factors have been found to alter mating strategies within or between populations and/or over time. for socially monogamous species, the main advantage that females might gain from mating with multiple males is probably increasing their offspring's genetic fitness. since male (genetic) quality is mostly not directly measurable for fem ...201729492002
can quantab titrator sticks reliably predict urinary sodium?urinary sodium concentration is a commonly used marker for extracellular fluid depletion which is often associated with dehydration. a point of care test for urinary sodium may reduce delays in clinical decision making by offering more timely guidance leading to improved salt and fluid management. we compared laboratory assessed urinary sodium with a potential point of care measure of urinary chloride in a variety of in- and outpatient specialities, to explore its use as an indicator of low urin ...201829460802
