trace gas emissions from the marine biosphere.	a wide variety of trace gases (e.g. dimethyl sulphide, organohalogens, ammonia, non-methane and oxygenated hydrocarbons, volatile oxygenated organics and nitrous oxide) are formed in marine waters by biological and photochemical processes. this leads in many, but not all, cases to supersaturation of the water relative to marine air concentrations and a net flux of trace gas to the atmosphere. since the gases are often in their reduced forms in the water, once in the atmosphere they are subject t ...	2007	17513265

the educational preparation: of nurses in ireland.	the history and evolution of nurse education in ireland has been similar to that of other countries. initially conducted under the apprenticeship model established by nightingale, it continued under this model for more than a century because the educational needs of nurses were seen as subordinate to the needs of the health service. the necessity for reform in nursing education was identified in a number of irish government policy documents. one of the strongest arguments put forward for the fut ...	2007	17557634
fuelling decisions in migratory birds: geomagnetic cues override the seasonal effect.	recent evaluations of both temporal and spatial precision in bird migration have called for external cues in addition to the inherited programme defining the migratory journey in terms of direction, distance and fuelling behaviour along the route. we used juvenile european robins (erithacus rubecula) to study whether geomagnetic cues affect fuel deposition in a medium-distance migrant by simulating a migratory journey from southeast sweden to the wintering area in southern spain. in the late pha ...	2007	17609189
nurses and computers. an international perspective on nurses' requirements.	this paper reports the findings from a florence nightingale foundation travel scholarship undertaken by the author in the spring of 2006. the aim of the visit was to explore nurses' attitudes towards, and experiences of, using computers in their practice, and the requirements that they have to encourage, promote and support them in using ict. nurses were found to be using computers mainly for carrying out administrative tasks, such as updating records, rather than as information tools to support ...	2007	17911712

a brief history of infection control - past and present.	the scientific study of hospital or nosocomial cross-infection began during the first half of the 18th century, and from that time until the start of the 'bacteriological era' many of the most notable contributions originated in scotland. however it was only 100 years later in 1858 that florence nightingale promoted the case for hospital reform. the real understanding of hospital infection followed upon the discoveries of pasteur, koch and lister and the beginning of the 'bacteriological era'. t ...	2007	18250929
food intake and fuel deposition in a migratory bird is affected by multiple as well as single-step changes in the magnetic field.	recent studies have shown that migratory thrush nightingales (luscinia luscinia) experimentally treated with multiple changes of the magnetic field simulating a journey to their target stopover area in northern egypt, increased fuel deposition as expected in preparation to cross the sahara desert. to investigate the significance of food intake on the body mass changes observed, in the work described here we analysed food intake of the nightingales under study in those earlier experiments. furthe ...	2008	18281326
nursing research: what is it and how can dermatology nurses use it?	the international council of nurses (2007) defines nursing research as a systemic inquiry that seeks to obtain new nursing knowledge for the benefit of patients, families, and communities and includes all aspects of health that are of interest to nursing including health promotion, disease prevention, and care during illness and recovery or towards a peaceful death. there is an increased amount of clinical research available to nurses and now we are challenged to utilize this knowledge to improv ...	2007	18286857

the influence of environment in palliative care: supporting or hindering experiences of 'at-homeness'.	florence nightingale stated that the art of nursing is to provide an environment in which the patient is in the best position for nature to act upon, and martha rogers, in turn, emphasized that one part in nursing is to pattern the environment into a place where healing conditions are optimal. this paper presents a preliminary conceptual framework that describes the influence of environment in palliative care. based on previously published studies, a conceptual framework describing the influence ...	2007	18386962
strategies to reduce patient harm: understanding the role of design and the built environment.	one of the great ironies of modern medicine is that the very environments created to heal are the cause of countless injuries, illnesses and death to the vulnerable population they were created to serve. not since florence nightingale visited the pestholes in which wounded and sick british soldiers were housed in the crimea, has there been a growing international awareness of the harm caused by the healing environment. there is growing recognition that risks and hazards of health care associated ...	2008	18391248

[the new hospital model established at the end of 19th century and the professional nursing schools].	the historical research in hospitals organisation began in europe only after the ii world war. in particular, studies regarding the nursing in italy are very scarce and heavily influenced by the fragmented political and organisational management due to the historical divisions within italy. all the same, the social and working conditions, at least in the north of italy, were similar in this respect. the workforce up to the beginning of the 20th century was equally divided between males and femal ...	2008	18431331
improved data illustration in complex multi-ligament knee reconstruction surgery: using the historical principles of florence nightingale and john venn.	the collection of multi-ligament knee reconstruction procedure data generates long tabulated lists of featureless abbreviations, which are often difficult to interpret and present. as demonstrated with the launch of the scandinavian anterior cruciate ligament registries, such data are under increasing scrutiny. when developing a visual tool to improve the interpretation, presentation, and ongoing collection of data within this field, much can be learnt from the historical teachings of florence n ...	2008	18484251
an experiential theory of spiritual care in nursing practice.	spiritual care has been recognized as integral to nursing care for centuries, as described by florence nightingale, and has been studied in both medicine and sociology. health care institutions, particularly faith-based health systems, also have recognized the importance of spiritual care. both qualitative and quantitative research support the importance of spirituality in patient health. although the profession, health care institutions, and research support spiritual care, there is no empirica ...	2008	18552319
a "lamentable failure"? the founding of nightingale nursing in australia, 1868-1884.	florence nightingale's private assessment was that lucy osburn failed in her attempt to found nightingale nursing in australia. this assessment is directly at odds with those of historians who have unquestioningly accepted osburn's success. an alternative narrative of the founding of nightingale nursing in australia is provided through examining why nightingale thought osburn failed. the judgment of failure had little to do with nursing practice or care. nightingale's judgment was based on the p ...	2001	18574895

florence nightingale: creator of modern nursing and public health pioneer.	in starting this series of articles on distinguished women in nursing, medicine and the related healthcare professions, the choice of the first name is obvious. florence nightingale is, i suggest, the most famous female in the long history of medicine and is a name that is known and revered throughout the world. most people--even those in 'the trade'--think of her as 'the lady with the lamp', the heroine who went out to the crimean war and nursed the sick and wounded at scutari. important though ...	2008	18828456

mastering the art of politics.	as a long-term political relationship matures, the nurse's scope of influence with the legislator generally grows and mutual respect ensues. in the best relationships, legislators seek the opinion of nurses on health care questions and ask them to share their expertise at informal meetings or through formal testimony at a policy committee hearing. when possible, backing friendly legislators from either party during their re-election bids places nurses in a proactive rather than a reactive relati ...	2008	19170321
reinterpreting the concept of "nursing" in the korean context.	florence nightingale acts as the threshold dividing "modern" nursing and "premodern" nursing. the history of modern korean nursing is not exceptional. it is not surprising that the history of modern korean nursing describes the advent of "western" nursing as it was delivered from western medical professionals. although traditional korean medical doctors, hanuisa, largely practice at traditional korean health clinics and hospitals, the nurses who work at these traditional korean health clinics an ...	2009	19218840

continuity of nursing and the time of sickness.	this paper explores the relationship between temporal continuity in nursing and temporal features of sickness. it is based on phenomenological and hermeneutical philosophy, empirical studies of sickness time, and the nursing theories of nightingale, of benner and of benner and wrubel. in the first part, temporal continuity is defined as distinct from interpersonal continuity. tensions between temporal continuity and discontinuity are discussed in the contexts of care management, of conceptualisa ...	2009	19291197
sex-specific timing of mate searching and territory prospecting in the nightingale: nocturnal life of females.	formal models have shown that diel variation in female mate searching is likely to have profound influence on daily signalling routines of males. in studies on acoustic communication, the temporal patterns of the receivers' signal evaluation should thus be taken into account when investigating the functions of signalling. in bird species in which diel patterns of signalling differ between males singing to defend a territory or to attract a mate, the diel patterns of mate and territory prospectin ...	2009	19324798

nursing and the issue of 'party' in the church of england: the case of the lichfield diocesan nursing association.	in recent years, there has been increased interest in the role of religion in the reform of nursing during the mid-nineteenth century. however, less is known about how 'party' disputes between evangelicals and followers of the 'oxford movement' may have affected nursing. this study examines a proposal to create a nursing association for the diocese of lichfield in 1864, which leads to a public dispute concerning the 'ecclesiastical' nature of the organisation. leading evangelicals in derby campa ...	2009	19453354

splendid isolation? the pros and cons of single rooms for the nhs.	nightingale wards remained the layout of choice in most nhs hospitals until the 1960s, when racetrack wards and bay areas with between four and six beds were introduced. more recently, a case has been made for more single-room accommodation in new hospital designs and some have argued for the abolition of all shared accommodation. this article explores the evidence on the advantages and disadvantages of such moves.	2009	19485004

information from the geomagnetic field triggers a reduced adrenocortical response in a migratory bird.	long-distance migrants regularly pass ecological barriers, like the sahara desert, where extensive fuel loads are necessary for a successful crossing. a central question is how inexperienced migrants know when to put on extensive fuel loads. beside the endogenous rhythm, external cues have been suggested to be important. geomagnetic information has been shown to trigger changes in foraging behaviour and fuel deposition rate in migratory birds. the underlying mechanism for these adjustments, howe ...	2009	19717671

female heterogamety and speciation: reduced introgression of the z chromosome between two species of nightingales.	several lines of evidence suggest that the x chromosome plays a large role in intrinsic postzygotic isolation. the role of the z chromosome in speciation is much less understood. to explore the role of the z chromosome in reproductive isolation, we studied nucleotide variation in two closely related bird species, the thrush nightingale (luscinia luscinia) and the common nightingale (l. megarhynchos). these species are isolated by incomplete prezygotic isolation and female hybrid sterility. we se ...	2010	19796142
