BackgroundGestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is an increasingly important contributor to maternal and neonatal morbidity in Africa, yet the evidence base remains fragmented across settings and research domains. This stu...

In environmental management, developing a scientific and methodological approach to the design and optimization of technological systems remains a pressing issue. The proposed approach is based on the integration of onto...

While concerns about the environmental issue intensify, agricultural activities continue to be a significant source of greenhouse gas emissions. Among these activities, those related to livestock farming stands out. Cons...

Globally, there is a recurring discourse that higher education systems need to transform. In South Africa, this discourse is articulated in the post-apartheid agenda of redress and equity. Before 1994, higher education w...

This research contributes to ongoing, multi-faceted, and much-needed discussions about food systems change amidst rising rates of food insecurity in Canada (and globally). It does so by providing a comparative content an...

Rainwater harvesting systems (RWHS) play a vital role in water resource management, particularly in developing countries such as Iran. Amid declining rainfall and increasing drought conditions, these systems offer a sust...

The perception systems for Traffic Sign Recognition (TSR) and Lane Line Recognition (LLR) are foundational pillars for the safe and effective operation of Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems (ADAS) and fully autonomous ve...

In this paper we present the results of the phylogenetic analysis of projectile points dating from the Middle-Late and final Late Holocene recovered from different sites along the coast of San Matías Gulf (Río Negro pr...

Abstract Occupational Health and Safety (OHS), which holds substantial importance due to its profound human implications and far-reaching economic consequences, requires effective management to minimize workplace acciden...

Aim: Healthcare services in remote areas present unique challenges to achieving organizational performance goals due to limited access and infrastructure. This study aims to analyze organizational factors that influence ...

Abstract Large Language Models (LLMs) and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems have significantly advanced data modelling capabilities and improved opportunities for extracting knowledge from vast and heterogeneo...

In semi-arid environments there is often a lack of data on hydrological variables that limits the ability to understand key hydrological processes. In response to this need, geomorphometric analysis is a quantitative app...

Abstract Microplastics (MPs) have emerged as pervasive contaminants in surface and ground water systems worldwide, making it an increasing threat to ecosystem integrity and human health. Despite a rapid increase in resea...

Abstract BackgroundHealth and health care systems are progressively challenged by more frequent natural and human-caused hazards. A hazard becomes a disaster when vulnerability and exposure interact in comple...

Artificial intelligence-supported online assessment and evaluation (AI-SOAE) systems have the potential to transform assessment and evaluation processes in higher education; however, there is a need for a comprehensive e...

The settlement of inheritance disputes in Indonesia is a complex issue involving various legal systems, including Islamic family law and customary law. This study aims to conduct a comparative analysis between these two ...

Abstract Backgrounds Nickel-titanium (NiTi) rotary instruments are widely used in endodontics because of their flexibility and superelasticity. However, the cyclic fatigue resistance of ORODEKA and M3-L systems in curved...

Context. Co-orbital objects, also known as Trojans, are celestial bodies that share a 1:1 mean motion resonance orbit with a planet. Many planets in our Solar System hold Trojans, yet none has been confirmed in exoplanet...

The present article examines four interrelated elements of the economy: namely, markets, labour, production, and distribution. These elements thus function as principles and laws. This approach is predicated on the premi...

The objective of this study was to evaluate environmental thermal conditions in broiler houses with two different ventilation systems and two different litter materials. The experiment was carried out in four 12 m × 10 ...

Abstract BackgroundAcute respiratory infections (ARIs) remain a significant global health challenge and are the second leading cause of disease burden and mortality. Early warning systems (EWS) play a key rol...

Abstract We propose and experimentally investigate two distinct power-over-Fiber (PoF) approaches, aiming to remotely power Internet-of-Things (IoT) sensing systems for Industry 4.0 environments. The first proof-of-conce...

Amid the convergence of technological, macroevolutionary, and demographic singularities, conventional approaches to analyzing and forecasting economic growth are increasingly losing relevance and predictive power. The su...

Abstract Background The residential building sector is a major contributor to Germany’s greenhouse gas emissions. Over 60 % of the energy used for space and domestic hot water heating comes from fossil fuels sources a...
