AIM: This qualitative study aimed to explore how nurses reason ethically about potential digital ethical risks arising from the routine use of digital systems in clinical practice and the strategies they propose to address these risks in response to vignette-based scenarios. BACK...

Pollen viability and germination performance in Gerbera: a comparative evaluation of assessment methods

Accurate and reliable assessment of pollen fertility is a critical prerequisite for selecting suitable pollen parents in ornamental plant breeding programs. This study aimed to evaluate pollen viability and in vitro germination performance in three commercial Gerbera jamesonii cu...

Evaluation of mandibular bone structures in thyroid dysfunction: a radiomorphometric index and fractal dimension analysis study

Abstract Background Thyroid dysfunctions, particularly hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism, are endocrinopathies that can affect bone metabolism. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism on mandibular trabecular and cortical bone structure usi...

Digital tracking and developmental challenges: GPS technology in adolescent elite football

The increasing use of GPS-based performance-tracking technologies in elite adolescent sport raises important questions about their psychological and developmental effects. Yet limited research addresses how adolescent athletes interpret continuous digital feedback in relation to...

Model-free sliding mode control with estimated equivalent control signal

Sliding mode control (SMC) is a robust, precise and quite popular nonlinear control technique using a control signal having two parts: switching and equivalent control signals. In order to calculate the equivalent control signal, a model of the system to be controlled is necessar...
