The Associations Between Nurses' Perceived Adequacy of Staffing and Quality of Nursing Care and Job Enjoyment: A Multilevel Modelling Approach

Journal of Advanced Nursing, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim To explore the associations of (1) shift‐to‐shift Nurse Perceived Adequacy of Staffing Scale (NPASS) scores and (2) the relative contribution of individual NPASS items to nurse‐perceived quality of care (NPQoC) and job enjoyment. Design Multihospital prospective observational study.

Distribution of HLA-ABC allele groups in a cohort of Chilean rheumatoid arthritis patients and healthy individuals

Biological Research
Background Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease in which HLA-DRB1 alleles encoding the “Shared Epitope” (SE), located in the β-chain of class II HLA-DR molecules, constitute the main genetic risk factor. However, there is scarce information

Is There a Genetic Link Between Resting Infrared Thermography in Young Horses and Longevity in Jumping Competition?

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The objective was to evaluate the genetic relationship between the surface temperature of regions of interest, measured using infrared images of young horses and functional longevity in jumping. This relationship was assessed by comparing the temperatures measured in the offspring of two groups of sires, one favourable and one unfavourable, to

Bimekizumab efficacy and safety in Chinese patients with psoriasis in the BE SHINING Phase 3 study

Journal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology, EarlyView.
In Chinese patients with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis, bimekizumab treatment was well tolerated and led to significantly higher clinical response rates versus placebo, including complete skin clearance. These findings were consistent with global studies and suggest that bimekizumab is an effective treatment option for Chinese people living with ...

Multiple Equating of Separate IRT Calibrations

Psychometrika, 2017
When test forms are calibrated separately, item response theory parameters are not comparable because they are expressed on different measurement scales. The equating process includes the conversion of item parameter estimates on a common scale and the determination of comparable test scores.

Ancestral Irrigation and Women's Political Empowerment

Kyklos, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper advances the hypothesis and establishes empirically that the adoption of irrigation agriculture during the preindustrial period is a predictor of contemporary cross‐country variation in women's political empowerment. Countries whose populations historically relied on irrigation agriculture as their primary subsistence mode tend to ...

Eye Movements, Item Modality, and Multimodal Second Language Vocabulary Learning: Processing and Outcomes

Language Learning, EarlyView.
Abstract This study examined second language vocabulary processing and learning in reading only (RO) versus reading while listening (RWL). 119 English learners read or read‐while‐listening to a story embedded with 25 pseudowords, 10 times each, and had their eye movements tracked.

The Arabidopsis NPF7.2 mediates coumarin uptake for root iron acquisition

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Iron (Fe) is a transition metal necessary for achieving essential physiological processes throughout the plant lifecycle. In Arabidopsis thaliana, secreting Fe‐mobilizing coumarins (FMC) is a key mechanism enabling roots to acquire nonbioavailable Fe present in soils.
