Designing Reliable Care Through Clinical Pathways: A Human Factors Framework

Background/Objectives: Healthcare delivery systems are inherently complex, and efforts to improve quality and safety often fail to achieve sustained, system-wide impact because of misalignment between work system design, care processes, and clinical practice. This article present...

Minimal self-sentience

Abstract This article develops the concept of minimal self-sentience to extend the phenomenological notion of minimal self-awareness to non-human animals. Drawing on the phenomenological account of minimal pre-reflective self-awareness (e.g., Zahavi), and on the view that such a...

Deformation mechanism in laser-powder bed fused Ti-6Al-2Sn-4Zr-2Mo alloy: Role of heat treatment

The deformation mechanisms of heat-treated laser powder bed fused Ti-6Al-2Sn-4Zr-2Mo were investigated using tensile testing and transmission electron microscopy. Heat-treated conditions (solutionized and solutionized + aged) showed improved ductility and non-monotonic strain-har...
