Summary: The exploration of thermoelectric materials is challenging due to the large materials space and the complexity of synthesis. By incorporating historical data and using error-correction learning, this study discovers a previously unexplored family of thermoelectric materials and finds an optimized material with significantly improved power factor. It is observed that a closed-loop experimentation strategy reduces the required number of experiments by up to 3 times compared to high-throughput searches powered by state-of-the-art machine-learning models.

Summary: This qualitative systematic review aims to consolidate the available evidence on the experiences of newly graduated registered nurses' role transition from nursing students to registered nurses. The review included 25 studies and identified four themes: (a) Knowledge deficit, (b) Overwhelming clinical practise, (c) Importance of workplace support, and (d) Meaning of being a nurse. Newly graduated registered nurses faced knowledge deficits and felt overwhelmed with work, especially during the Covid-19 pandemic. Support from colleagues was invaluable, and they wished for better support through standardised transition programs.

Summary: The study found that nurses caring for older stroke patients experience a gap between their ideal role and actual practice, as well as conflicting emotions towards caring for this patient population. Nurses are clear about their roles but lack time and knowledge about caring for older stroke patients. Factors influencing their working experiences extend beyond the personal domain and are linked to the wider working environment.

Summary: This study compared the demographic and practice characteristics of registered nurses (RNs) and advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs) who work in public health (PH) with their counterparts. The results showed that PH RNs and PH APRNs earned less, but had comparable job satisfaction. They also expressed the need for more training in social determinants of health, working in medically underserved communities, population-based health, and mental health.

However, the suggested repairs may not always align with the intentions of the programmer. This paper proposes using spelling correction algorithms to enhance the error repair process in compilers.

Summary: The study found that nurses' perceptions of career development are closely related to their attraction to the nursing profession and their engagement with organizations. Nurses associate career development with high competency, independence, influence, and meaningful work experience, but perceive limited opportunities for career development in direct patient care.

Summary: This study translated the Rushton Moral Resilience Scale (RMRS) into Chinese and evaluated the psychometric properties of the Chinese version (Chi-RMRS). The results showed that Chi-RMRS can effectively measure moral resilience in Chinese professional nurses with good validity and reliability. The scale can be used to monitor the status of nurses and develop interventions to maintain their well-being and ensure quality of care.
