Nutritional intakes and their association with symptom severity among women with Hyperemesis Gravidarum

Abstract Hyperemesis Gravidarum (HG) is characterised by severe nausea and vomiting in pregnancy. Despite the critical role of nutrition during pregnancy and risk of malnutrition in this cohort, few studies have reported dietary intakes of women with HG. The aim was to assess the...

A resource allocation algorithm for the OFDMA mechanism to improve efficiency, fairness and preserve packet ordering in WLANs

The use of Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) was first introduced to Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs) in the IEEE 802.11ax standard. Under the OFDMA mechanism, users can access different channel bandwidths to transmit their packets. As the bandwidth demand...

Hydration‐Gated Photoinduced Electron Transfer in BODIPY Dyes

ABSTRACT Fluorescent probes based on photoinduced electron transfer (PET) are widely used to image intracellular environments. Here we report donor–acceptor dyads based on the BODIPY chromophore in which PET is selectively activated upon hydration. Replacing fluorine groups at bo...

Self-Adaptive Learning Using Test Case Selection in Grammatical Evolution for the Automatic Design of Digital Circuits

In today’s digital age, the demand for increasingly complex digital circuits spans applications ranging from watches to spacecraft. To meet this demand, circuit design automation using Artificial Intelligence (AI) has emerged as a key solution due to manual processes’ time-consum...

Active machine learning using MCMC Bayesian neural networks

Background Standard neural networks require large labelled datasets for strong generalization, which is often costly to annotate. Active learning (AL) reduces annotation costs by selecting the most informative samples for labelling based on model uncertainty, and Bayesian methods...

High-Resolution Taxonomic Assessment Using PacBio 16S rRNA Sequencing of Farm Animal Slurry, Broiler Waste and Anaerobically Digested Wastewater Treatment Sludge and Description of Soil Microbiota

The application of organic wastes as fertilisers is important for sustainable agriculture, provided that resulting changes in microbial communities do not disrupt nutrient cycling or soil fertility. To the authors’ knowledge, this study was the first to use PacBio 16S rRNA sequen...

Kidney cancer in Eastern Mediterranean Region and Qatar: epidemiological burden patterns and etiologic risk pathways

Abstract Kidney cancer contributes substantially to the global cancer burden, with significant geographic and sex differences. Countries in the Eastern Mediterranean Region (EMR) show rising incidence and mortality alongside gaps in registry coverage and high prevalence of metabo...

Early Satiety in Cancer ‒ the Symptom Experience: Exploratory Cross-Sectional Cohort Study

Background Early satiety (ES) is a common symptom in several conditions, including cancer. Despite presenting at all cancer stages, little is known about how patients describe ES. This study aimed to explore the lived experience of those with ES. Methods A cross-sectional study w...

Psychological pressure from mentors on career path choices for people with disabilities: A gendered qualitative study

Background This study examines the influence of mentorship, psychological challenges, and gendered experiences on the entrepreneurial paths of individuals with disabilities, focusing on a specialized entrepreneurship training program at Technological University Dublin, Ireland. O...

Multidisciplinary Rehabilitation Following Upper Gastrointestinal Cancer Surgery (RESTORE II)

Objective: RESTORE II compared in an RCT the impact of a 12-week multidisciplinary rehabilitation program versus standard care (SC) on cardiorespiratory fitness and physical function in patients postupper gastrointestinal (UGI) oncologic surgery. Summary of Background Data: The v...

Music Is the Space Between the Notes (Claude Debussy)—The Power of Connection: Exploring Motivations, Barriers and Relational Pedagogy in Adult Music Learning

This research endeavoured to capture the lived experiences and perspectives of adult music learners. A qualitative collective case study using creative facilitation approaches was adopted, as part of an established Community of Practice: Adult Learner Meet Up event, to capture th...

Socio-hydrogeology: The past, present, and future of a people-centred and place-based approach to groundwater science

Groundwater systems are shaped by deeply interwoven physical processes and social dynamics, yet traditional hydrogeological approaches have often treated these domains separately. Over the past decade, socio-hydrogeology has emerged in response, offering an approach that systemat...

Clinical Blindness to Eating Disorders in Older Adults: A Qualitative Study of Primary Care Nurses’ Perspectives

Background/Objectives: Eating disorders (EDs) have historically been associated with young women, and their presence in older adults remains poorly recognized despite evidence that they can persist, recur, or emerge in later life. Primary care nurses are strategically positioned...

Use of Chondrus crispus Stakehouse Hydrolysate for Functional, Nutritional, and Potential Bioactive Health Benefits and Demonstration of Use as an Emulsifier in Selected Baked Goods

An increase in flexitarians, vegetarians, and vegan consumers coupled with soaring egg prices post covid has increased demand in the food industry for alternative ingredients, including emulsifier products. Plant-derived emulsifiers, including chickpea aquafaba and oat proteins,...
