Supporting Aged Care Worker Wellbeing: A Qualitative Document Analysis of the Strengthened Aged Care Quality Standards

Australian Journal of Social Issues, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aged care work is physically and emotionally demanding. Workers can feel disempowered, vulnerable and at increased risk of experiencing work‐related stress. This in turn can result in sub‐optimal care and staff shortages. This study aimed to investigate what provisions exist within Australia's strengthened Aged Care Quality Standards to ...

Optimization of F¯ Removal From Wastewater Utilizing Alternating Current Electrocoagulation Coupled With Sonication Using a Statistical Design Approach

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Combining electrochemical and advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) has greatly mitigated the limitations of electrocoagulation (EC) in water treatment. This study examined the effectiveness of sonolysis (US)‐assisted alternating current (AC)–EC in reducing fluoride (F¯) from landfill leachate wastewater (LLW), with measurements of electrical ...

A second species of non‐crocodyliform crocodylomorph from the Late Triassic fissure deposits of southwestern UK: Implications for locomotory ecological diversity in Saltoposuchidae

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The Late Triassic–Early Jurassic fissures of the Bristol Channel area (southwest England and south Wales) are renowned for their diverse vertebrate faunas. These assemblages have yielded an array of predominantly small‐bodied forms that are crucial to our understanding of the early evolution of several major tetrapod clades.

Historical birth records from 1896 to 1944 from the Basel maternity hospital, Switzerland, reveal significant obstetric selection pressures

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality have declined dramatically during the last century. Historical data are therefore important sources to study the evolutionary selection pressures related to childbirth and how they have fluctuated over time.

Heat Stress and Gut Microbiome Dynamics in Poultry: Interplay, Consequences, and Mitigation Strategies

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Heat stress disrupts gut microbial balance in poultry, impairing nutrient absorption and immunity. This review outlines the interplay between thermal stress and microbiome dynamics and discusses integrative mitigation strategies, probiotics, phytogenics, cooling systems, and genetic adaptation to enhance poultry resilience.

Anatomy education experiences of physical education professionals in a wellness‐centered era: Evidence from South Korea

Anatomical Sciences Education, EarlyView.
Abstract Understanding human anatomy is crucial for professionals working in physical education–related fields. However, anatomy education in South Korean universities is often perceived as insufficiently aligned with professional demands. This study aims to document current experiences and perceptions of anatomy education among individuals engaged in ...
