Artificial intelligence use, perceptions, and educational needs among medical undergraduates at a Sri Lankan medical faculty: a cross-sectional survey

Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming medicine, yet AI competencies remain insufficiently integrated into medical curricula, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. This study investigated AI tool use, self-rated proficiency, and attitudes towards AI in m...

Screening of plant essential oils identifies Piper nigrum and Juniperus rigida for incorporation into carboxymethyl cellulose-polyvinyl alcohol hydrogel films as potential multifunctional wound dressings

Antimicrobial resistance and biofilm-associated chronic wounds highlight the need for natural wound-care materials with broad antimicrobial, antibiofilm, and antioxidant properties. In this study, eight plant essential oils (EOs) were initially screened for antimicrobial activity...

Environmental dynamism and organisational resilience: a comprehensive bibliometric analysis

Purpose This study systematically maps the intellectual structure, thematic evolution and global research frontiers of environmental dynamism and organisational resilience research, addressing the rapid expansion and fragmentation of this interdisciplinary field and providing a c...

Enhanced Room-TemperaturePhosphorescence from CarbonDots Embedded in a Robust SiO2 Matrix

Abstract Carbon dots (CDs) represent a rapidly advancing class of fluorescent nanomaterials. Due to the dominant nonradiative decay channels of the triplet excited state of CDs, these materials generally exhibit no observable phosphorescence (PH) or delayed fluorescence. Here, we...

FLIGHT PHASE BIOMECHANICS AS PREDICTORS OF ELITE TRIPLE JUMP PERFORMANCE

The triple jump is a technically demanding track and field event that requires athletes to generate and sustain maximal force while preserving horizontal velocity across the hop, step, and jump phases. Performance is strongly influenced by the biomechanical characteristics of eac...

A Hybrid Grey Verhulst Modeling framework for accurate tea yield forecasting in variable environmental conditions

Purpose Due to the Ceylon tea industry having faced a range of economic, structural and climate conditions over the past few decades, a robust statistical approach is essential for short-term forecasting of tea yield and tea income. However, the existing literature indicates that...
