Introduction and aims: Understanding the trend and associated factors are essential for enhancing equitable access to care, particularly given persistent disparities in healthcare utilisation across different population ...

Social media has revolutionised communication, enabling communities to report on their issues in their own way. Thus, social movements all over the world have mobilised the power of social media, as these platforms grant...

Slovenia is a pioneer in the systematic monitoring of physical fitness in children and adolescents. In 1969, a national system for monitoring physical and somatic development, called the Sports Educational Chart, was dev...

The evolution of metropolitan cities and increasing travel demand impose stringent requirements on traffic assignment methods. Multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL) approaches outperform traditional methods in modeli...

Glucose monitoring sensors with high softness and flexibility are critical for the developments of wearable and implantable healthcare devices that enable diagnosis, prognosis, and management of diabetes. The design and ...

ABSTRACT Among the different materials for bladder augmentation, porcine intestinal submucosa (SIS) is the most widely investigated and stands out for its ability as a cell scaffold. In this context, the ultrasound exami...

In the context of globalized food production, traceability is a key requirement in the fisheries sector, particularly for prepared and packaged fish products, where processing may hinder visual inspection and increase th...

Squeezed states of light play a key role in quantum-enhanced sensing and continuous-variable quantum information processing. Realizing integrated squeezed light sources is crucial for developing compact and scalable phot...

Abstract Background The household registration system in China places migrants in a vulnerable status regarding access to local public services, including limited access to health services. Most studies on migrants’ he...

The extremely high peak intensity associated with ultrashort pulse width of femtosecond laser allows us to induce nonlinear interaction such as multiphoton absorption and tunneling ionization with materials that are tran...

An advanced full-wave time-domain numerical model for reverse saturable absorption (RSA) is presented and verified. Rate equations describing atomic relaxations and excitation dynamics are coupled to the Maxwell equation...

We theoretically investigate the tunneling of two-dimensional surface polaritons (2DSPs) through plasmonic nanoplates on atomically thin crystals. By developing an analytic model based on coupled-mode theory, we examine ...

van der Waals (vdW) materials supporting phonon polaritons (PhPs) – light coupled to lattice vibrations – have gathered significant interest because of their intrinsic anisotropy and low losses. In particular, α-MoO...

Thin-film-lithium-niobate (TFLN) photonics has attracted intensive attention and become very popular in recent years. Here, an ultra-compact TFLN on-chip dispersion compensator is proposed and realized to provide a promi...

Ultrafast pulses, particularly those with durations under 100 fs, are crucial in achieving unprecedented precision and control in light–matter interactions. However, conventional on-chip photonic platforms are not in...

As an exceptional nonlinear material, graphene offers versatile appealing properties, such as electro-optic tunability and high electromagnetic field confinement in the terahertz regime, spurring advance in ultrashort pu...

The increasing global temperatures have escalated the demand for indoor cooling, thus requiring energy-saving solutions. Traditional approaches often integrate metal layers in cooling windows to block near-infrared (NIR)...

While spin angular momentum is limited to ±ℏ, orbital angular momentum (OAM) is, in principle, unbounded, enabling tailored optical transition rules in quantum systems. However, the large optical size of vortex beams ...

Infrared metasurfaces have exhibited exceptional optical properties that differ from naturally occurring metallic and dielectric nanostructure, enabling non-destructive and label-free sensing in a broadband region. Howev...

This article proposes to reflect on practices of doing research on care, from the place of a “mother-researcher”, based on an ethnographic experience in a rural Commune located in a settlement in the rural area of Ri...

Abstract BackgroundDigital behaviors such as sleep, social interactions, and productivity reflect how individuals structure their daily lives. Among university students, online activity patterns mirror academ...

Abstract Background Class size reductions in general education are some of the most researched educational interventions in social science, yet researchers have not reached any final conclusions regarding their effects. ...

Since the year 2000, there has been an increasing visibility of proposals and theoretical research on the importance and necessity of cash flow management in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). The purpose of this...

The article throws the light on the problem of developing students’ critical thinking skills through interactive learning. The latter offers numerous benefits for students'soft skills improvement. It requires students ...
