Solar-Assisted IoT waste monitoring system with photovoltaic energy feasibility assessment

Internet of Things (IoT)-based waste monitoring systems are increasingly used to support smart and efficient waste management systems. However, many existing systems still depend on conventional batteries or grid power, which can increase maintenance requirements and limit outdoo...

Advancing graphene-enabled piezoelectric, triboelectric, and hybrid nanogenerators: A review on mechanistic and performance optimization

Graphene significantly enhances the performance of piezoelectric (PENG), triboelectric (TENG), and hybrid piezoelectric-triboelectric (H-P/TENG) nanogenerators by regulating polarization, dielectric behavior, charge transport, and interfacial coupling. This review presents a crit...

Morphology, Thermal Behaviour, Abrasion Mass Loss, and UV-Induced Coffee-Stain Discolouration of TiO2-Coated Polyester Fabrics Treated at Different Coating Temperatures

The coating temperature during TiO2 treatment can influence particle deposition, abrasion behaviour, and stain discolouration of polyester fabrics. However, the relationship between coating temperature and the resulting structural and functional properties requires further evalua...

Worsening Hypertensive Control as a Clue to High-Grade Brachiocephalic and Subclavian Artery Stenosis in Primary Care: A Case Report

Objective: Unusual clinical course Background:Upper-extremity peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is a less common manifestation of peripheral arterial disease than lower-extremity PAD.Many patients with upper-extremity PAD remain asymptomatic until significant arterial stenosis de...

Influence of culm position and regional growth conditions on the tensile strength perpendicular to the grain

Bamboo has received increasing attention as a sustainable structural material; however, its tensile strength perpendicular to the grain remains elusive in governing splitting failure, particularly in joint and connection design. This study experimentally investigates the tensile...

Pedestrian-level wind environment within the intervening space between elevated towers above a podium: Effects of core geometry and wind direction

An intervening space, which is typically situated between buildings over the podium, has been increasingly incorporated into residential developments, yet its pedestrian-level wind environment (PLWE) remains insufficiently investigated. This study combines wind tunnel experiments...

From Green Human Resource Management to Organizational Resilience: A Resource‐Process‐Outcome Framework Integrating Dynamic Capabilities

ABSTRACT This article clarifies how Green Human Resource Management (GHRM) may contribute to organizational resilience without conflating resources, transformation processes, and outcomes. A structured theory‐building review examined 108 unique Scopus‐indexed studies published fr...

Effectiveness of Oral Health Programme for Teachers: A Systematic Review

ABSTRACT Introduction Many studies investigated the effectiveness of oral health programmes for teachers in terms of the impact of oral health knowledge, practices, perceptions and attitudes. Objective To review the effectiveness of oral health programmes designed for teachers. M...

Herpes Zoster in an Immunocompetent Child Following an Influenza-Like Illness

Herpes zoster (HZ) or shingles is uncommon in children and is traditionally associated with advancing age and immunocompromised states. However, HZ may also occur in immunocompetent children, in whom diagnosis may be overlooked due to its rarity and broad differential diagnosis o...

Squeezing flow of Casson ternary nanofluid with analysis of Soret and Dufour

The MHD squeeze ternary nanofluid flow of Casson fluid is studied, considering Dufour and Soret, chemical reaction and heat sink/source. The ternary nanoparticles silver Ag, graphene oxide GO and graphene Gr are disseminated in conventional fluid of sodium alginate $$\left({\text...

PVA-based hydrogels for chronic wound healing: a systematic review of mechanical, structural, chemical, and biological performance

Abstract Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)-based hydrogels are promising chronic wound dressings owing to their tunable structure, biocompatibility, and capacity to carry bioactive agents. Following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) guideline, t...

Determinants of financial inclusion in Indonesia: an empirical evidence from global findex data

Financial inclusion is an important component of broad-based financial participation, yet access remains uneven across socioeconomic and demographic groups in Indonesia. This study examines the factors associated with financial inclusion and its barriers using the 2021 Global Fin...

Evaluation of Probiotic Properties and Antimicrobial Substances Produced by Five Lactic Acid Bacteria Against Foodborne and Spoilage Pathogens

The rise of multidrug-resistant (MDR) pathogens presents a major challenge to food safety, particularly in preservation approaches. Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) gain probiotic recognition by effectively controlling MDR pathogens using antimicrobial substances (AMSs) and bacteriocin...
