A hybrid AI-IoT framework for predictive conservation of tropical heritage façades: empirical validation from a multi-site study in Indonesia

Abstract Predictive conservation for tropical built heritage is hindered by the persistent separation of continuous environmental sensing from computational deterioration diagnostics. We address this gap through a fourteen-month hybrid AI-IoT deployment across three heritage site...

Association of perceived stress, sleep quality, temporomandibular disorders, and oral health-related quality of life among dental students: a cross-sectional study

Dental education is a stressful, demanding environment that may adversely affect various aspects of students’ health, including temporomandibular disorders (TMD), perceived stress, poor sleep, and oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL). This study assessed the interrelation...

Interpretable water and agricultural land cover in urban landscapes using CNN–ViT framework with Grad-CAM for agricultural sustainability

Abstract Accurate land-use and land-cover classification in hyper-arid environments is challenging because several surface types can exhibit overlapping spectral and spatial characteristics in Landsat imagery. These surfaces include water, irrigated agriculture, moist soil, barre...

New periodontal phenotype classification in patients with different types of malocclusion and dental crowding

Abstract Background The periodontal phenotype plays a critical role in periodontal stability and orthodontic risk assessment. However, an integrated evaluation of soft‐ and hard‐tissue periodontal characteristics across various sagittal and vertical skeletal patterns and dental c...

HIFN-Mamba: hybrid information flow networks with selective state-space sequence modeling for intrusion detection in the Internet of Medical Things

The exponential growth of the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT)—a multi-billion-device infrastructure of clinically critical sensors, monitors, and connected medical equipment—has dramatically expanded the attack surface for ransomware, lateral-movement, and protocol-specific exp...

Cluster headache care gaps among primary healthcare physicians in the Middle East, North Africa, and Türkiye: a multinational study

Cluster headache is one of the most severely disabling primary headache disorders and is frequently associated with diagnostic delay, inappropriate treatment, disability, and substantial psychosocial burden. Because primary healthcare (PHC) physicians are commonly the first point...

Abstract Objectives To evaluate the effect of a tele-orthodontics platform on orthodontists’ and orthodontic residents’ knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) in Yemen, as well as to assess the platform’s acknowledged benefits, obstacles, and consultants’ responsiveness. Metho...

Smart and green technology capabilities shape environmental sustainability through resource efficiency under IT governance

This study examines how the alignment between technological and organizational subsystems contributes to environmental sustainability through the theoretical lens of Socio-Technical Systems (STS) Theory. Specifically, it investigates the roles of smart technology integration and...

Community pharmacists and cancer awareness in yemen: insights into knowledge, counseling barriers, and educational priorities

Community pharmacists play a key role in cancer prevention, early detection, and patient counseling, but evidence on oncology knowledge and practices in Yemen is limited. This study assessed community pharmacists’ cancer knowledge, perceived counseling barriers, and interest in o...

Effect of exogenous proline application on yield and yield components of second-crop maize under water deficit conditions

Water scarcity is a major constraint limiting maize productivity in arid and semi-arid regions. This study evaluated the effects of exogenous proline application on yield, yield components, and water productivity of second-crop maize under different irrigation levels. The field e...
