The journey to a learning health system in primary care: a qualitative case study utilising an embedded research approach

Abstract Background Healthcare systems may be resilient and adaptive, but they are not fit for purpose in their current state. Increasing threats to health system sustainability have underscored the need to move towards a learning health sy...

A Review of Stimuli-Responsive Smart Materials for Wearable Technology in Healthcare: Retrospective, Perspective, and Prospective

In recent years thanks to the Internet of Things (IoT), the demand for the development of miniaturized and wearable sensors has skyrocketed. Among them, novel sensors for wearable medical devices are mostly needed. The aim of this review is...

Rethinking avian influenza control: a systems-oriented One Health perspective for family poultry

Early detection and control of high- and low-pathogenicity avian influenza (HPAI, LPAI) in family poultry flocks remain challenging in settings where mortality from enzootic diseases such as Newcastle disease (ND) and infectious bursal dise...

Hypothesis on energy storage by membrane proton buffers: Connections to sleep and memory

Extramitochondrial ATP synthesis appears widespread thanks to the formation of mitochondrial-derived vesicles (MDVs) that export the mitochondrial molecular machinery of oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) to cellular and extracellular membr...

3 Dimenions for Long Term Conditions - creating a sustainable bio-psycho-social approach to healthcare

Introduction: 30% of people with long-term conditions also have a mental health condition. 3Dimensions for Long-term Conditions (3DLC) integrates psychosocial care into heart failure, COPD and resistant hypertension treatment. It is a joint...

On the Implementation of a Blockchain-Assisted Academic Council Electronic Vote System

The digitisation of administrative tasks and processes is a reality nowadays, translating into added value such as agility in process management, or simplified access to stored data. The digitisation of processes of decision-making in colle...

Effect of chemical treatment on the mechanical and thermal performance of flax fiber reinforced aluminium 6082 laminate: a machine learning-enhanced investigation

Abstract This work examined the role of alkaline and epoxy-based surface chemical treatments on the mechanical and thermal properties of flax fiber reinforced Aluminum Alloy 6082 hybrid Fiber Metal Laminates (FMLs), integrated with machine ...

IoT-enabled real-time outdoor monitoring of perovskite BIPV system under real climatic conditions

This study presents a first-of-its-kind IoT-enabled outdoor investigation of perovskite Building-Integrated Photovoltaic (BIPV) subsystems under real environmental operating conditions at Peshawar, Pakistan. Two architecturally distinct per...

Subduction, collision and plumes in the epoch of the Late Paleozoic magmatism of the Magnitogorsk zone (the Southern Urals)

Subject. A systematization of Late-Paleozoic magmatic formations of the Magnitogorsk zone of the Southern Urals in the process of an accretion of the Magnitogorsk paleoarc to the margin of the East European continent (EEC) with formation in...

Extrapolative prediction in multiphase flow pipelines: a multi-fidelity surrogate approach with stacking ensemble

Accurate extrapolation of multiphase flow behaviour in offshore pipelines is hindered by limited field data, simulator bias, and strong nonlinearities. A multi-fidelity surrogate approach with stacking ensemble is proposed to address these ...

Energy characterization of residential and office buildings in a tropical location

Governments have established regulations to reduce energy consumption and polluting gas emissions from buildings. In Colombia, the government issued Resolution 0549 in 2015, a regulation that imposed savings percentages on different types o...

Accurate detection of selective forwarding attack in wireless sensor networks

Selective forwarding attack in wireless sensor networks shows great impact on network performance and consumes limited energy resource. In previous countermeasures, it is assumed that all nodes in the communication range can detect misbehav...

Development of Power-to-X Catalytic Processes for CO₂ Valorisation: From the Molecular Level to the Reactor Architecture
