Professional identity in nursing : a narrative review of the ISPIN definition and domains usage

Introduction. Established in 2020, the International Society for Professional Identity in Nursing (ISPIN) developed a definition of professional identity in nursing (PIN). This definition encompasses four domains: values and ethics, knowledge, nurse as leader, and professional comportment. Objective. This narrative review aimed to summarize and synthesize identified published evidence, the extent of discussion of PIN domains, and literature gaps for the ISPIN definition of PIN. Methods. Sources included peer-reviewed literature published between 2018 to 2025 from CINAHL and PubMed. Gray literature through Google Scholar and ISPIN archived publications were also searched. These were identified by two researchers and a PRISMA flow diagram was developed. No registered protocol was utilized. Search and MeSH terms included “professional identity,” “nurs*,” and “ISPIN.” Findings. Thirty-seven articles met inclusion criteria and were extracted from 16,295 initially identified articles, with the majority with authors from the United States. There were very few research papers and a noticeable dearth using quantitative methodologies. Twenty-eight of the retrieved articles were considered expert accounts, conceptual discussion or opinions, common for a relatively new concept. Discussion. Nurse as leader was discussed in 34 of 37 articles. Professional comportment was discussed in 31 articles. Both knowledge and value and ethics were discussed in 28 articles. Conclusion. This narrative review highlights the nature and prevalence of the ISPIN definitions and its four domains in current literature and can be visualized through diagramming. Minimal quantitative studies and a higher volume of discussion articles present limitations to its strength and applicability. Results suggests the need for further research in all domains, particularly in knowledge and values and ethics, and its implications in strengthening nursing practice and education

Concession, cooperation, and contestation : Filipino undocumented migrant domestic workers in the UK and the Netherlands navigating the COVID-19 pandemic

Drawing on 40 interviews, this article advances understanding of how Filipino undocumented migrant domestic workers (UMDWs) in the UK and the Netherlands navigated the pandemic by undertaking a comparative analysis of their resilience strategies. Using social navigation as analytic lens, it conceptualises a typology of three strategies—concession, cooperation, and contestation—that Filipino UMDWs engaged in at the micro-, meso-, and macro-levels to account for how they coped during the pandemic and are fighting to change their conditions. Finally, it reflects on how these strategies articulate the need for more effective migration governance for undocumented migrants post-COVID-19 and beyond

Architectures of violence : the fight Scenes of Hollywood's luxury hotels

The hotel is a key setting for Hollywood’s fight sequences, which we argue are always determined and understood through spatial orientation and architectural setting. Offering both private and public spaces, the upscale hotel offers a compendium of the contemporary action film’s fight scenes in one locale. Foregrounding a compelling fantasy of extravagance and mobility, the luxury hotel fight is foundational to the resilience of action heroes such as John Wick or James Bond. Indeed, John Wick is unimaginable without the fictional assassin hotel, the Continental. But the action hotel fight is not singular. For instance, the hotel room fight scene in Haywire plays with the erotic secrecy of the clandestine hotel room meeting, whereas the expansive lobby in John Wick 3 becomes a multi-participant battlefield. We argue that the hotel fight is a notable, specific, and underexamined space in action cinema with a particular relation to propulsion and violent action anchored to concepts of luxury, erotics, and precarious service economies. Considering the concepts of luxury and class that shape both the service economies and the erotic charge of luxury hotels, we look at the fights that map and are mapped by these spaces. We consider the hotel fights in luxury hotels that play with liminal public/private spatiality to articulate the architecture of violent action. We focus throughout on John Wick’s Continental Hotel, but also draw on other key contemporary Hollywood action films and franchises that foreground luxury hotels as a character, setting, and choreographic element

Have Industrial Sites Ever Truly Formed Part of Oxford’s Genius Loci?

This dissertation explores the overlooked industrial heritage of Oxford, a city internationally celebrated for its academic and ecclesiastical identity, yet curiously silent about its productive and industrial past. While Oxford’s genius loci has long been defined by the colleges and faculty buildings, its industrial built environment -once vital to local life and economy- has been set aside within both public consciousness and preservation practice. Drawing upon theoretical insights from Christian Norberg-Schulz, Gaston Bachelard, Harold Proshansky, and John Nivala, the study examines the relationship between the Spirit of Place and place identity, questioning whether Oxford’s industrial fabric has ever been fully integrated into its cultural narrative.    Through a qualitative, interpretative methodology combining archival research and critical review of conservation policies, the dissertation focuses on key case studies such as Jericho and the Morris Garage. It situates these within broader discussions of façadism, adaptive re-use of industrial heritage, and the selective memory embedded in heritage management.    Findings suggest that Oxford’s industrial identity has historically been overshadowed by the dominance of the University and the city’s picturesque ideal. Yet, the study argues that acknowledging and rehabilitating this neglected heritage would not conflict with Oxford’s Spirit of Place but rather complete it, reconnecting intellectual and material histories, and restoring authenticity to the city’s collective memory. In doing so, it calls for a renewed approach to a conservation made with depth, that embraces the full spectrum of Oxford’s cultural landscape, allowing its genius loci to evolve in a more truthful form.

Prospective Memory: The Effect of Cognitive Load and Task Focality on Prospective Memory Performance

‘Prospective memory’ (PM) is the ability to remember to perform intended actions in the future. The number of targets to be monitored (i.e. task load) and the closeness of the PM target to the ongoing task (ONG) (i.e. task focality) have been found to impact PM performance. The purpose of the current study is to address limitations of previous research into the effect of task load and task focality on participants’ prospective memory performance in event-based prospective memory (EBPM) tasks, and to investigate whether these conditions affect participants’ strategy of retrieval (as set out in the multiprocess framework). A modified version of the test used in Cantarella et al., (2023) was administered online to four groups: low-load focal targets (LF; N = 14), low-load non-focal targets (LN; N = 14), high-load focal targets (HF; N = 17), and high-load non-focal targets (HN; N = 13) to determine whether prospective memory related changes were evident. A Stroop test preceded the EBPM test to account for the potentially confounding variable of processing speed. In keeping with previous findings, the effect of task load and focality had a significant effect on PM performance in respect to both reaction time (RT) and accuracy. Furthermore, results identified that participants’ possessing speed had a significant effect on RT in ONG tasks, but not for PM retrieval. Contrary to previous literature the effect of the interaction between factors was only significant for PM performance accuracy, not RT. It was concluded that PM retrieval relies on different, more costly mechanisms when exposed to increased task complexity. The results emphasise the importance of focality in successful PM retrieval. Future research should look to implement standardised methods of task response and consider individual differences in processing speed to ensure that RT in EBPM tasks is not affected by these when investigating PM performance

Neural correlates of lexical, sublexical and motor processes in word handwriting

Writing recruits a vast neural network underpinning both linguistic and motor processes. Previous studies have tried to identify which brain areas underpin both the linguistic and motor aspects of writing. However, little is known about the neural substrate of the lexical and sublexical “routes” for spelling. In this fMRI study, participants (n = 25) copied or saw/read symbols or words. Words varied in lexical frequency and phonology-to-orthography (P-O) consistency. Anterior parts of the inferior frontal gyrus were selectively recruited when copying P-O inconsistent words, while the right Heschl's gyrus was recruited only when copying consistent words. Non-specific motor and linguistic areas were also identified. Our results contribute to our knowledge of the neural substrate of the lexical and sublexical spelling routes and suggest that different brain areas might be involved in the lexical processing of input (reading) and output (writing) orthography

The Role of CEP164B in Trypanosoma brucei: Implications for Flagellum Biogenesis and Cell Cycle Regulation

Trypanosoma brucei is the causative agent of Human African Trypanosomiasis (HAT) or African Sleeping Sickness. The protozoan kinetoplast relies on precise cell cycle regulation and flagellum biogenesis for survival and pathogenicity. The transition fibre protein CEP164B has been implicated in flagellar assembly, yet its specific role in trypanosome cell division remains underexplored. This study investigates the impact of CEP164B depletion on cell morphology, flagellum formation and cell cycle progression in T.brucei using RNA interference (RNAi). Fluorescence microscopy and quantitative analysis revealed that CEP164B interference significantly reduced flagellum length, the emergence of abnormal cell populations, including 0K1N cells (no kinetoplast, one nucleus), and defects in kinetoplast segregation. Statistical analyses confirmed significant shifts in cell populations, with a decline in 1K1N cells and an increase in multinucleated and mutant forms. The observed phenotypes suggest that CEP164B plays a crucial role in maintaining transition fibre integrity, basal body positioning, and coordinated organelle division. These findings highlight CEP164B as a potential therapeutic target for disrupting trypanosome proliferation
