Factors influencing information and communication technology knowledge and use among nurse managers in selected hospital...
This study adopted a cross-sectional design to examine the factors that influence the use of information and communication technology among 108 nurse managers in selected hospitals in the Volta Region of Ghana. A self-administered questionnaire was used to gather data. A χ2 test of association identified sex (P
Consumer evaluation, use and health relevance of health claims in the European Union
Foods with health claims are intended to have positive impacts on specific health conditions, yet we lack evidence of whether health claims appeal to, and are used by the target market for whom they may have specific health relevance. Using a large-scale online survey in 10 European countries (n = 5337), our study explores consumers' views and use ...

A break from pain! Interruption management in the context of pain
Activity interruptions, namely temporary suspensions of an ongoing task with the intention to resume it later, are common in pain. First, pain is a threat signal that urges us to interrupt ongoing activities in order to manage the pain and its cause. Second, activity interruptions are used in chronic pain management. However, activity interruptions...
Predicting children's food choice using check-all-that-apply questions
Traditional descriptive methods for obtaining sensory profiles are difficult to apply with children because these measurements are complex, requiring lengthy concentration and adequate training. Therefore, research has examined the possibility of working with the check-all-that-apply (CATA) method, which is quite easy to use, especially given the l...
Impacts of socio-psychological factors on smallholder farmers' risk attitudes: empirical evidence and implications
In the literature, there are limited studies on how socio-psychological factors affect farmers' attitudes towards risks. Therefore, this paper looks into this issue in Ethiopia for better understanding of how socio-psychological issues influence farmers' risk attitudes. The study uses data from a cross-sectional survey and a generalised ordered log...
Automated synthesis protocol of sequence-defined oligo-urethane-amides using thiolactone chemistry
An automated, iterative protocol for the synthesis of multifunctional, sequence-defined oligo-urethane-amides using thiolactone chemistry is reported. Here, sequenced functionalization of the backbone is easily introduced using commercially available primary amines. The chemistry is carried out on solid phase using different supports for better opt...
