registered nurses' descriptions of caring: a phenomenographic interview study.nursing has come a long way since the days of florence nightingale and even though no consensus exists it would seem reasonable to assume that caring still remains the inner core, the essence of nursing. in the light of the societal, contextual and political changes that have taken place during the 21st century, it is important to explore whether these might have influenced the essence of nursing. the aim of this study was to describe registered nurses' conceptions of caring.201525834478

individual migration timing of common nightingales is tuned with vegetation and prey phenology at breeding sites.the timing of migration substantially influences individual fitness. to match peak requirements with peak resource availability, we hypothesized that individual migrants schedule spring migration in close relation to seasonal changes in environmental conditions along the route and particularly, at the breeding destination.to test this hypothesis, we investigated the timing of spring migration in male common nightingales luscinia megarhynchos, a small palearctic-african long-distance migrant, by ...201424650177

lost in transition: child to adult cancer services for young people.cancer nursing care across the uk has dramatically improved for children and young people with cancer over the past 20 years (department of health, 2007). around 70% of young people diagnosed with cancer survive into adulthood, albeit with long-term health complications (scottish government, 2012). this raises the contemporary concern of how best to transition these patients to an adult-focused care regime (national cancer survivorship initiative, 2012). with support from a florence nightingale ...201624335869

variable detours in long-distance migration across ecological barriers and their relation to habitat availability at ground.migration detours, the spatial deviation from the shortest route, are a widespread phenomenon in migratory species, especially if barriers must be crossed. moving longer distances causes additional efforts in energy and time, and to be adaptive, this should be counterbalanced by favorable condition en route. we compared migration patterns of nightingales that travelled along different flyways from their european breeding sites to the african nonbreeding sites. we tested for deviations from short ...201425505540

interventional patient hygiene: discussion of the issues and a proposed model for implementation of the nursing care basics.more than 140 years ago, florence nightingale wrote "it may seem a strange principal to enunciate as the very first requirement in a hospital that it should do the sick no harm." data suggests that 63% of all preventable errors are related to clinical problems that are within nursing's independent scope of practice. many of these fall in the category of "interventional hygiene" activities and include prevention of skin injury, post-operative respiratory complications and failure to rescue. as nu ...201323746440

dsm-5: historical perspectives.the first major attempts to categorize psychiatric disorders in the united states occurred in the mid-1800s, when census data were collected that included "insanity" and "idiocy" of household members. in europe, florence nightingale promoted the use of non-fatal disease classification for morbidity and treatment in 1860. by the late 1800s, kraepelin categorized disorders, and his sixth edition of the compendium der psychiatrie was widely adopted by both europeans and americans. in 1952, the amer ...201323451736

theoretical foundations of nursing practice in poland.this authors of this column explore the use of nursing theory in poland. a quasi-experimental pretest-posttest study was conducted to explore what, if any nursing theories were used by nurses in poland, and if an education program on nursing theory increased the use of nursing theory. the study found that while there were discrepancies between the nurses' theoretical knowledge base and their use of these theories in practice, there is evidence of the use of the ideas and theory of nightingale, o ...201323247354
spin-orbit-free topological insulators without time-reversal symmetry.we explore the 32 crystallographic point groups and identify topological phases of matter with robust surface modes. for n=3,4, and 6 of the c_{nv} groups, we find the first-known 3d topological insulators without spin-orbit coupling, and with surface modes that are protected only by point groups; i.e., the relevant symmetries are purely crystalline and do not include time reversal. to describe these c_{nv} systems, we introduce the notions of (a) a halved mirror chirality, an integer invariant ...201425259991

buzzwords in females' ears? the use of buzz songs in the communication of nightingales (luscinia megarhynchos).differences in individual male birds' singing may serve as honest indicators of male quality in male-male competition and female mate choice. this has been shown e.g. for overall song output and repertoire size in many bird species. more recently, differences in structural song characteristics such as the performance of physically challenging song components were analysed in this regard. here we show that buzz elements in the song of nightingales (luscinia megarhynchos) hold the potential to ser ...201223028759
plato, nightingale, and nursing: can you hear me now?a historical perspective on how the writings of plato influenced florence nightingale in the formation of nursing as a respected profession for women. comparing nightingale's life and legacy to platonic philosophy demonstrates how philosophy continues to speak to the profession of nursing practice as guardians of society in the 21st century.201525243354
learn it now, sing it later? field and laboratory studies on song repertoire acquisition and song use in nightingales.in many bird species, song changes with age. the mechanisms that account for such changes are only partially understood. common nightingales luscinia megarhynchos change the size and composition of their repertoire between their first and second breeding season. to inquire into mechanisms involved in such changes, we compared the singing of 1-year-old and older free-living nightingales. older males have more song types in common than have 1-year olds. certain song types frequently sung by older ...201425204724
ancestral polymorphism at the major histocompatibility complex (mhciiß) in the nesospiza bunting species complex and its sister species (rowettia goughensis).the major histocompatibility complex (mhc) is an important component of the vertebrate immune system and is frequently used to characterise adaptive variation in wild populations due to its co-evolution with pathogens. passerine birds have an exceptionally diverse mhc with multiple gene copies and large numbers of alleles compared to other avian taxa. the nesospiza bunting species complex (two species on nightingale island; one species with three sub-species on inaccessible island) represents a ...201222894748
the integer quantum hall effect of a square lattice with an array of point defects.the electronic properties of a square lattice under an applied perpendicular magnetic field in the presence of impurities or vacancies are investigated by the tight-binding method including up to second nearest neighbor interactions. these imperfections result in new gaps and bands in the hofstadter butterfly even when the second order interactions break the bipartite symmetry. in addition, the whole spectrum of the hall conduction is obtained by the kubo formula for the corresponding cases. the ...201222850432

memory-dependent adjustment of vocal response latencies in a territorial songbird.vocal interactions in songbirds can be used as a model system to investigate the interplay of intrinsic singing programmes (e.g. influences from vocal memories) and external variables (e.g. social factors). when characterizing vocal interactions between territorial rivals two aspects are important: (1) the timing of songs in relation to the conspecific's singing and (2) the use of a song pattern that matches the rival's song. responses in both domains can be used to address a territorial rival. ...201322677884

changing landscape of nursing homes in singapore: challenges in the 21st century.the ageing population is posing new challenges to singapore's healthcare system. the rise of dual income and the decline of extended families, as well as an increase in age-related degenerative disorders due to increased longevity render it difficult for the family to remain the primary social safety net to care for our elderly in their own homes. consequently, nursing homes may become increasingly relevant for resource and expertise-challenged families to cope with the burden of caring for a fr ...201424557465

long-range order in canary song.bird songs range in form from the simple notes of a chipping sparrow to the rich performance of the nightingale. non-adjacent correlations can be found in the syntax of some birdsongs, indicating that the choice of what to sing next is determined not only by the current syllable, but also by previous syllables sung. here we examine the song of the domesticated canary, a complex singer whose song consists of syllables, grouped into phrases that are arranged in flexible sequences. phrases are defi ...201323658509
