Finite element approximation of a hemivariational inequality for steady-state heat conduction: double-limit convergence of penalization and discretization

In this paper we study the numerical approximation and convergence analysis of a steady-state heat conduction problem with mixed boundary conditions. The physical model is governed by a hemivariational inequality depending on a heat transfer parameter α > 0. We consider the finit...

Palliative Music Therapy: Disciplinary Identity and Challenges for Clinical Integration

Music therapy in palliative care (PC) has accumulated a growing evidence base over recent decades, yet its integration into interdisciplinary teams remains inconsistent. This article argues that the gap between evidence and practice reflects, at least in part, a deeper conceptual...

Deliverable 7.2 Plan for the D & E & C of Results (PDEC) - Updated version

This report provides an updated overview of GRAPHERGIA’s D&E&C strategy and related key accomplishments that maximise the outreach and impact of the project’s research and innovation. Moreover, it presents GRAPHERGIA’s target market analysis, focusing on e-textiles, Li-ion batter...

The Global Airways Unit: A Multidisciplinary Strategy for Early Diagnosis and Comorbidity Detection

ABSTRACT Background Chronic respiratory diseases impose a large global burden of morbidity, mortality, and cost. The concept of a global airway has become increasingly supported by epidemiologic, mechanistic, and clinical evidence. However, clinical care often remains fragmented...

Relationship Between the Global Distribution of Double Tropopause From Radio Occultation Data and Climate Indices

Abstract Double tropopauses (DTs) are a key but underutilized diagnostic of upper troposphere–lower stratosphere (UTLS) dynamics and stratosphere–troposphere exchange. Here we provide a global, observation‐based assessment of DT variability and its coupling to large‐scale climate...

Do Patients Receiving GLP-1 Receptor Agonists for Weight Loss Require Structured Dietetic Care? Lessons from Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery (MBS) Pathways

Background: Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) and dual incretin therapies have significantly advanced obesity management by facilitating clinically significant weight loss and enhancing cardiometabolic outcomes. Nevertheless, their growing application calls fo...
