Abstract	Background: Cultural competence is considered one of the criteria for high-quality nursing care. Aim: This study aimed to analyse cultural competence in nursing. Methods: This study was performed using the hybrid concept analysis approach in three phases. In the theoretical phase, literature was reviewed by searching Persian and English language databases, and 94 articles were included. In the second or fieldwork phase, 11 semi-structured interviews were conducted with purposefully selected nurses. The results of both theoretical and fieldwork phases were analysed using conventional content analysis, and in the final analysis phase, the results of the previous phases were triangulated. Results: The attributes of cultural competence were obtained in the theoretical phase in six and the fieldwork phase in three categories. In the final phase, the categories obtained in both previous phases were triangulated: cultural competence in nursing is a continuous, developmental, flexible, extensive and complex process that is patient- and justice-oriented and emerges through learning and skills acquisition, including cultural knowledge, attitudes and practices. Conclusion: Managers and planners of nursing education can use the results of this study to educate nursing students and nurses and evaluate outcomes as one of the criteria for quality care.

Abstract	Epidemics of infectious disease such as influenza and tuberculosis cause hundreds of thousands of deaths worldwide annually. This annual death rate can increase to millions with sporadic, unpredictable pandemics, such as the 1918 flu pandemic or potentially the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The main routes of infectious disease transmission among humans have long been a matter of debate. Transmission may occur via (i) “direct” physical contact with infected individual, (ii) “indirect” contact with contaminated surfaces (i.e. fomites), such as a contaminated door knob, (iii) sprays of virus-laden respiratory droplets, such as from a cough or sneeze, impacting immediately onto the respiratory mucosa of a susceptible individual, or (iv) by the eventual inhalation of the smaller residual solid cores of evaporated respiratory droplets (i.e. aerosol particles) emitted during breathing, talking, coughing, and sneezing. Controversy remains regarding the relative contribution of these different modes (contact, droplet, or aerosol) in transmitting specific respiratory diseases. For example, documented cases of COVID-19 transmission by asymptomatic and presymptomatic individuals, who do not cough or sneeze to any appreciable extent, suggests that aerosol transmission plays an important role, but little is known about aerosol particle production by asymptomatic individuals. This dissertation has two broad themes. First, we focus on aerosol particle emission during human expiratory activities. We show that the rate of particle emission during normal human speech is positively correlated with the loudness (amplitude) of vocalization regardless of the language spoken (English, Spanish, Mandarin, or Arabic), and that a small fraction of individuals behaves as “speech superemitters,” consistently releasing an order of magnitude more particles than their peers. We further investigate the effect of voicing and articulation manner on aerosol emission during human speech, and demonstrate that particle emission rates are positively correlated with the vowel content of a phrase; conversely, particle emission decreases during phrases with a high fraction of voiceless fricatives such as /f/. Next, we tested the efficacy of medical-grade and homemade masks in controlling aerosol particle emission from expiratory activities. We find that surgical and KN95 masks reduce the particle emission rates by 90% and 74% on average during speaking and coughing, respectively, compared to wearing no mask. However, the efficacy of homemade cloth and paper masks is confounded by shedding of non-expiratory micron-scale particulates from friable cellulosic fibers present in homemade masks. These results highlight the importance of regular changing of disposable masks and washing of homemade re-usable masks. The preceding results focused on generation of aerosol particles during human expiratory activities. In the second part of this dissertation, we next consider how aerosol particles can spread through the air in indoor environments. We begin with a theoretical model, using a point source and turbulent diffusivity model valid in the limit of low Stokes numbers. We calculate transmission probabilities versus position and exposure time for different values of the turbulent Péclet number, and we demonstrate that under some certain circumstances speaking can lead to higher probabilities of transmission than coughing. We then turn our attention to experimental animal models of human influenza, performed in collaboration with colleagues at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mt. Sinai. We provide evidence of a mode of transmission seldom considered for infectious disease: airborne virus transport on microscopic particles called “aerosolized fomites.” We show that the airborne particulates produced by infected guinea pigs are mainly non-respiratory in origin by quantitatively characterizing the particles emitted from cages containing guinea pigs using both an Interferometric Mie Imaging system and an Aerodynamic Particle Sizer. Our results surprisingly show that an uninfected, virus-immune animal whose body is contaminated with influenza virus can transmit the virus through the air to a susceptible partner in a separate cage. We further demonstrate that aerosolized fomites can be generated from inanimate objects, such as by manually rubbing a paper tissue contaminated with influenza virus. Our results suggest that besides respiratory droplets and aerosols, aerosolized fomites may contribute to influenza virus transmission in animal models of human influenza, if not among humans themselves, with important but understudied implications for public health. This dissertation concludes with a discussion of potential avenues for future work in the field of airborne infectious disease transmission.

Abstract	Introduction: Episiotomy is a procedure during vaginal delivery to facilitate a safer delivery. However, it can also have complications including hemorrhage, perineal tears, infections, and vaginal hematoma which should be managed and monitored carefully. Presentation of case: A 27-year-old woman with term pregnancy, had a normal vaginal delivery at 39 weeks of gestation, and a large episiotomy was performed due to the estimated neonate weight to prevent shoulder dystocia. She was complicated with a huge pelvic hematoma that was expanded to prerenal space. Discussion: This complication was managed by conservative therapy, including antibiotic therapy, intensive observation of the patient's situation, and follow-up with a CT scan after consulting with a radiologist. The huge hematoma was reduced. Conclusion: Noninvasive management and close monitoring for pelvic hematoma due to episiotomy in a low-risk patient are successful; however, consulting with radiologists and experts and a multidisciplinary approach should be considered.

Abstract	Introduction: Medical devices and equipment are necessary for accurate and continuous monitoring of the patients admitted to intensive care units, one of which is alarm systems. Frequent sounds of alarms can affect nurses' concentration and accuracy when providing care. Complications such as headache, fatigue, and stress occur after repeated alarms, leading to poor quality of professional life among nurses. This study aimed to determine the relationship between quality of professional life and alarm fatigue syndrome among intensive care unit nurses. Methods: This cross-sectional study used convenience sampling to select nurses working in intensive care units from three hospitals in southern Iran in 2021 ( Results: The mean scores of compassion satisfaction (CS), burnout, secondary traumatic stress (STS) (subscales of the ProQOL), and AFS were 34.66 ± 7.54, 28.98 ± 7.59, 27.69 ± 5.87, and 13.48 ± 7.32, respectively. The majority of them had no or mild AFS, moderate CS, burnout, and STS. Among the study variables, only AFS were a significant predictor of CS and STS among ICU nurses. In addition, work experience in ICU, AFS, and a second job were significant predictors of burnout among ICU nurses. Conclusions: The study results showed a significant relationship between alarm fatigue syndrome, burnout, STS, and CS. Given that more than half of the nurses in the intensive care unit in the present study experienced some degree of alarm fatigue syndrome, it is necessary to plan and implement interventions to better manage the alarms in the intensive care unit.

Abstract	Non-spherical hydrogel particles are of fundamental interest and can find use in a variety of applications ranging from pharmaceuticals to biomedical to food. Here, we report a new method that leverages the yield stress property of viscoplastic fluids to synthesize shape-engineered alginate particles. By dripping an aqueous viscoplastic solution composed of sodium alginate and a yield-stress material into an ionic gelation bath, droplets are controllably deformed and crosslinked, producing a wide assortment of shapes. We find that by tuning the yield stress of the solution and the nozzle tip orientation, a range of shapes from symmetric and near-spherical, to asymmetric and anisotropic (

Abstract	Abstract Introduction Medical devices and equipment are necessary for accurate and continuous monitoring of the patients admitted to intensive care units, one of which is alarm systems. Frequent sounds of alarms can affect nurses' concentration and accuracy when providing care. Complications such as headache, fatigue, and stress occur after repeated alarms, leading to poor quality of professional life among nurses. This study aimed to determine the relationship between quality of professional life and alarm fatigue syndrome among intensive care unit nurses. Methods This cross‐sectional study used convenience sampling to select nurses working in intensive care units from three hospitals in southern Iran in 2021 (n = 201). Data were collected using three questionnaires, including sociodemographic form, the professional quality of life questionnaire (ProQOL), and the alarm fatigue symptom (AFS) scale. Results The mean scores of compassion satisfaction (CS), burnout, secondary traumatic stress (STS) (subscales of the ProQOL), and AFS were 34.66 ± 7.54, 28.98 ± 7.59, 27.69 ± 5.87, and 13.48 ± 7.32, respectively.

Abstract	The main goal of the current investigation was to decontaminate ibuprofen (IBP) from hospital wastewater using sea mud as an H₂O₂ activator. Sea sludge was converted into catalysts at different temperatures and residence times in furnaces, and then tested in the removal of IBP, and the most efficient ones were reported for the production of catalysts. The catalyst was optimized at 400 °C and 3 h. SEM-mapping, FTIR, EDX, BET, and BJH experiments were used to characterize the catalyst. Experiments were done at two pulsed and continuous ultrasonication modes in a photoreactor, and their efficiencies were statistically compared. The designed variables included IBP concentration (10–100 mg/L), the catalyst concentration (0–3 g/L), pH (4–9), and time (10–90 min). The oxidation process had the maximum efficiency at pH 4, treatment time of 60 min, catalyst quantity of 5 g/L, and IBP content of 50 mg/L. The catalyst was recycled, and in the fifth stage, the removal efficiency of IBP was reduced to 50%. The amount of energy consumed for treating IBP laden-wastewater using the evaluated catalyst in two modes of continuous and pulsed ultrasonic was calculated as 102 kW h/m³ and 10 kW h/m³, respectively. IBP oxidation process was fitted with the first-order kinetic model. The system can be proposed for purifying hospital and pharmaceutical wastewaters.
