Delays in Tuberculosis Care in the Indian Population: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis

Abstract Introduction: Being harmful to patients, delayed diagnosis and treatment can spread tuberculosis (TB) in the community, posing a significant challenge to TB elimination efforts. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to estimate the median delays of TB care and t...

Endoscopic pilonidal sinus treatment versus Limberg flap reconstruction for uncomplicated pilonidal sinus disease: a prospective comparative study

Optimal surgical management of sacrococcygeal pilonidal sinus disease is still controversial. Minimally invasive endoscopic pilonidal sinus treatment (EPSiT) has emerged as an alternative to established off-midline flap procedures such as the Limberg flap. Comparative prospective...

Enhanced removal of profenofos from water/wastewater via photocatalytic adsorption using biosynthesized TiO₂ nanoparticles: a comparative study with Fenton process

This study compared the efficacy of combined adsorption–photocatalytic process using biosynthesized TiO 2 nanoparticles with the Fenton process in removing profenofos. Characterization techniques such as BET, XRD, and SEM were employed to characterize the biosynthesized nanoparti...

Digital Paradox Navigation: A Second‐Order Cybernetic Framework for Organisational Reflexivity in Digital Transformation

ABSTRACT This study develops and empirically examines the Digital Paradox Navigation (DPN) framework, which integrates second‐order cybernetics with digital transformation theory to explain how organisations manage paradoxical tensions through reflexive self‐observation. Using a...

Design and experimental validation of dual-feed cavity-backed slot antenna diplexer for millimeter-wave dual-band 5G applications

Abstract This article presents the development of a novel cavity-backed dual-feed miniaturized antenna with an intrinsic self-diplexing property for millimeter-wave dual-frequency 5G applications. The proposed device is designed using a rectangular substrate integrated cavity loa...

Machine learning-based fusion and downscaling of multi-sensor satellite data for urban heat island analysis in Damascus, Syria

Effective climate and environment monitoring requires high-resolution land surface temperature (LST) data, while satellite-derived LST data have coarse spatial and temporal resolutions that pose major challenges to detailed analysis. This study attempts to overcome this gap by in...

Adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system-based analysis of Maxwell nanofluid flow over an exponentially expanding surface with radiation and multiple slip conditions

Abstract The present communication explores the Darcy-Forchheimer flow of Maxwell nanofluid through an exponentially expanding surface with motile microorganisms and slip conditions. This precise fluid model is employed in several industrial areas, such as polymer extrusion, ener...

Dual‐Discriminator Conditional GAN and Optimized Binarized Spiking Neural Networks for Accurate Outdoor Robot Localization and Landmark Detection

ABSTRACT Robot localization is the process of positioning a mobile robot in relation to its surroundings, and its precise positioning is essential for decision‐making and navigation. An autonomous robot's core competency is localization because the robot's positioning is signific...
