The NBRISH6 inoculation also improved the plant vegetative properties (root length, 33.80%; shoot length, 20.68%; root dry weight, 39.21%; shoot dry weight, 61.95%), shoot nutrients, xylem cells, root hairs, vapor pressure deficit (75%), intrinsic water-use efficiency (41.67%), photosynthesis rate (83.33%), and total chlorophyll (16.15%) as compared to the respective stress controls. This study provides valuable insights into mechanistic functions of PGPR in WS amelioration and promoting plant physiological response. OBJECTIVE To develop an understanding of women’s lived experience of compassionate midwifery DESIGN A qualitative study using the principles of Interpretive Phenomenological Analysis (IPA). read more Data was collected during interviews with 17 women who identified themselves as having received compassionate midwifery care. FINDINGS Women participants’ experience of compassionate care from midwives was experienced through a sense of a midwife Being With them, Being in Relationship with them and Empowerment. Women were also aware of the way midwives were able to Balance potentially conflicting aspects of their work, in order to provide compassionate care. Two other themes which emerged through extensive analysis of the data related to how women set their experience of compassion in the context of their personal suffering and that compassion made a difference. These themes will be reported separately. CONCLUSION AND IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE The unique contribution of this study was to provide a window into the nature of women’s lived experiences of compassionate midwifery and thus building, understanding around the qualities of compassionate midwifery and its impact on women. The findings are important because they challenge assumptions that compassion is ill-defined and therefore difficult to teach. On the contrary, compassionate midwifery was easily identified by women participants and had the features of an effective intervention for relieving their suffering. A dynamic model of Compassionate Midwifery in Balance has been proposed, providing a much-needed tool to inform practice, education and policy. Further research will build on this work by focussing on women in varied circumstances, environments and cultures and on understanding the lived experience of compassionate midwifery from the midwife’s perspective. In this paper, we present two aspects of the ultrasonic for the synthesis of CuO (II) nanostructures. In the first ultrasound application, we made a copper tip for an ultrasonic probe transducer and used it for electrolysis and ultrasound irradiation processes. This method is named direct sonoelectrochemistry and compares with conventional electrochemistry. CuO (II) nanostructures are obtained after sintering for both direct sonoelectrochemistry method and conventional electrochemistry method. In the second application of ultrasound, the copper nanostructures were generated by the ultrasound ablation method, and then, the heating process was performed for oxidation. The formation of the copper and CuO (II) nanostructures is confirmed by the powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), the field emission electron microscopy (FESEM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The results show that the direct sonoelectrochemistry method generates CuO (II) nanostructures 4.2 times more than conventional electrochemistry. The crystallite size in the electrochemistry methods and direct sonoelectrochemistry is 28.44 nm and 26.60 nm, respectively. The direct sonoelectrochemistry way is a very flexible method and parameters in electrochemical, ultrasound, and the relationship between them can play an important role in the process of synthesis of nanostructures. The crystallite size in the ultrasound ablation method is 21.13 nm and 25.23 nm for the copper and CuO (II) nanostructures. The most important advantages of this method are green, fast, and high purity of the produced nanostructures. Technical feasibility of an ecofriendly sequential process (ultrasound assisted extraction and reverse osmosis, or UAE and RO) was evaluated in order to obtain a functional Camu-camu (Myrciaria dubia) product with high vitamin C content. Water was used in the assisted extraction by probe ultrasound (UAE) in an experimental design to evaluate different times, amplitudes and temperatures. The best region for total phenolic (TP) and vitamin C (VC) extraction was 5 min, 60 °C and 30% amplitude. Following extraction, the sample was concentrated by reverse osmosis (R25a, 500 Da, polyamide, and 5 bar area 3 ft2), obtaining a relatively low fouling of 19%. At the end of the sequential process (by HPLC-DAD/UV vis), was obtained a concentrated camu-camu (CC) with high Vitamin C (52.01 ± 0.889 mg/g) and cyanidin-3-glucoside, being respectively 7.0 and 4.5 times higher; also the concentration of phenolic compounds was increased by 3.2 times (25.798 mg GAE/g), and anthocyanins in 6.5 times (66.169 mg of cyanidin-3-glucoside/100 g) as well as high antioxidant activity by all three methods evaluated (increased 3.0, 4.6 and 2.38 times for ABTS, DPPH, FRAP, respectively) by comparing the CC with the initial extract (CS). Twenty compounds were identified by UHPLC-QTOF-MS/MS, highlighting quercetin, gallic acid, p- coumaric, ellagic acid and cyanidin-3-glucoside, and at the first time alnusiin was detected in camu-camu. Therefore, the combination of ultrasound assisted extraction and reverse osmosis can be a promising profitable alternative in order to apply bioactive compounds in food, nutraceuticals and cosmetic matrices, bringing their benefits to consumers. This work reports the simultaneous sonochemical activation of graphite and sonohydrolysis of antimony chloride (SbCl3) in the alkaline medium. The experiments conducted by bath sonicator operated at 37 kHz of frequency and a maximum power of 150 W. The simple sonohydrolysis of SbCl3 alone produced an orthorhombic phase of Sb2O3, whereas, it produced mixed phases of cubic and orthorhombic Sb2O3 when introduced with graphite. Herein, the activated graphite (aGR) provides the best support to the growth of cubic phase. This cubic Sb2O3 is grown only on the graphite basal planes, which confirmed by scanning electron microscope. Moreover, the phase changes have identified by the X-ray diffraction, Raman and X-ray photoelectron analysis. The prepared aGR-Sb2O3 composite has applied to the electroanalytical studies of anti-depressant drug imipramine (IMP). The results showed that aGR-Sb2O3 revealed better activity than Sb2O3; the reasons are discussed comprehensively. Furthermore, aGR-Sb2O3 exhibited comparable analytical results for the determination of IMP.
