Abstract Background Health judicialization intensified during the COVID-19 pandemic in Brazil, placing courts at the centre of disputes over resource allocation, access to treatment, vaccination mandates, and intergovernmental health governance. Although bioethical frameworks for...

iSAGE: A Human-in-the-Loop Framework for Remote Sensing Semantic Segmentation via Sparse Point Supervision

Training semantic segmentation models is especially costly in remote sensing, since most problems require a new dataset as targets vary with resolution, sensors, and region. Approaches to reduce this cost are increasingly common, but most add machinery that expands few labeled pi...

Structural Performance of Hybrid Fiber–Metal Laminates Reinforced With Natural and Synthetic Fibers: Tensile, Dynamic–Mechanical, and Residual Stress Behavior

ABSTRACT This work studied how hybridization between natural and synthetic fibers influences the structural tensile performance, viscoelastic response, and residual stress distribution in fiber–metal laminates (FMLs). Two groups of laminates were produced: (i) fiber‐reinforced po...

Factors associated with discordance between the patient-reported Rheumatoid Arthritis Disease Activity Index (RADAI) and the Simplified Disease Activity Index (SDAI) concerning the achievement of treat-to-target goals – data from the REAL study

Abstract Background Treat-to-target (T2T) strategies in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) rely on regular assessment of disease activity using validated composite indices, with remission or low disease activity as therapeutic goals. The Simplified Disease Activity Index (SDAI) is widely...
