EFFECT OF NURSING AUDIT FEEDBACK ON NURSES’ JOB SATISFACTION: PERSPECTIVE OF NURSES IN SELECTED TERTIARY HOSPITALS IN THE SOUTHEAST NIGERIA[ ]


Global economic challenges and increasing hospital bills have laid great burden on the healthcare consumers. This has led to their desire to be involved in their healthcare decisions and contentment with both services and spending on health matters (Kernick, 2012). Kernick opined that limited healthcare resources, knowledge empowerment of consumers of healthcare and increasing array of intervention options have made it necessary for decision on healthcare to be taken openly and fairly. In order words, the need for assured quality care/services from the providers in the healthcare arena remains indispensable in the present era of economic downturn. One of such quality assurance measures is nursing audit and feedback.

CHARACTERIZATION OF FOAM BALLS LIGHTWEIGHT CONCRETE[ ]


An innovative and a new kind of lightweight concrete (LWC) was developed few years ago at the Department of Structural Engi-neering of Ain Shams University. It is called foam balls lightweight concrete (FBLWC), in which conventional aggregates are par-tially replaced by polystyrene foam particles. FBLWC combined the advantages of normal density concrete, cellular concrete and high workability. FBLWC is currently believed to have a promising future in construction field; as foam balls lightweight concrete has a dry unit weight of 18.50 kN/m3 that leads to self-weight reduction of 15–20%. That results in reducing dead weight, in addi-tion to lower foundation cost with the achievement of a cubic compressive strength of 27 MPa. This paper focuses on investigat-ing and evaluating the short term and the long term behavior of FBLWC.

The Sources of Macroplastic Waste in Freshwater Ecosystems[ ]


This research paper was concerning the concentrations of different source of macroplastic waste in Lake Lewisville in the Colony, Texas. Plastic waste has been accumulating in great amounts in both freshwater and marine ecosystems over the last several decades. The presence of plastic waste inside these ecosystems can cause harm to organisms in the area, by causing entrapment, stranglings, and many digestive and reproductive issues if the animals digest smaller pieces of plastic. Plastic stands out from other forms of waste, because its durability that makes it such a useful material in the industrial world also causes it to persist for long periods of time in terrestrial or water environments when it is deposited in these areas.
