. Creating an attractive workplace in healthcare is an issue many countries will try to resolve because of a global shortage of healthcare professionals. This study aimed to describe how healthcare staff in Estonia assessed appreciative management and its connection to the country and workplace in which they would choose to work outside Estonia. A quantitative descriptive study was conducted via an electronic survey among healthcare staff. Over half of the respondents (53.7%, n = 151) had no intention of leaving the workplace; over three of five (64.4%, n = 181) did not intend to leave the profession within a year. Systematic management, equality, and promotion of well-being at work were weakly connected to moving to another country. The more systematic management, equality, and promotion of well-being at work, the less the respondents considered moving. Appreciation of know-how had no statistically significant connection to considering moving to another country. In conclusion, only a few healthcare professionals were willing to leave their workplace or their profession. Appreciative management may be one issue to further promote workplace attractiveness and reduce turnover. The workplaces in healthcare are part of their country and environment, meaning their international reputation is important when one wonders where to live and work. This study implied that most of the healthcare professionals were willing to stay in their workplace and/or profession in Estonia, positively acknowledging which factor to base healthcare development on in Estonia.

The signals in nerve include electrical, mechanical and thermal components and are characterized by the complexity of processes. The modelling of these signals is analyzed from the viewpoint of DeLanda who has demonstrated the possibility to expose the philosophical theories of Deleuze by using the notions from nonlinear dynamics. It is demonstrated that the mathematical modelling of processes in nerves by authors of this paper follows the general ideas of multiplicity and causal interactions described by DeLanda.

The effectiveness of optical methods such as photodynamic therapy (PDT) depends on the amount of light distribution within the tissue to aid their potential for early cancer detection in a quantitative and non-invasive manner. Knowledge of the effective attenuation coefficient and penetration depth for the laser light is crucial to ensuring that the tumour tissue receives adequate optical energy. This study investigated the effective attenuation coefficient and penetration depth of He–Ne 630 nm red laser light in polyvinyl alcohol slime glue phantoms simulating human brain tumour tissues. The effective attenuation coefficient (μeff) and penetration depth (δ) were deduced from the absorption coefficient (μa), scattering coefficient (μs), and anisotropy factor (g) obtained from the Henyey–Greenstein (H–G) function by collimated laser beam measurements. We found that the effective attenuation coefficient and penetration depth were 0.25 ± 0.02 mm−1 and 4.00 mm, respectively, in the simulated phantoms. These values were in reasonable agreement with values reported for malignant human brain tumour tissues in the literature. The constructed phantoms would be an excellent tool for the continued evaluation of PDT as an essential therapeutic procedure in cancer management.
