AI versus human coding of NIH grant abstracts

Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly used for qualitative analysis in substance use research, yet their performance relative to human coders remains underexplored. This study compares ChatGPT-4.0 with human coders in performing qualitative coding tasks using NIH grant ab...

Problem Management Plus (PM+) for common mental disorders in Chilean primary care: a feasibility randomized controlled trial of a transdiagnostic psychological intervention

Abstract Background In Chile, more than one-third of the total disability burden is attributable to mental disorders, yet public mental health services in primary care present coverage gaps. This randomized controlled trial evaluated the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminar...

Enhancing Nurses’ Capability to Promptly Escalate Care Using the Early Warning Score

Background: Clinical deterioration in general ward patients is largely preventable with early recognition of abnormal vital signs and prompt escalation of care. Local Problem: Limited knowledge of the early warning score (EWS) and an inability to recognize and respond to clinical...

Performance Prediction and Analysis of Sweeping Gas Membrane Distillation Through Systematic Optimization of ANN Architectures

Sweeping gas membrane distillation (SGMD) is a thermally driven desalination process that uses a membrane to remove salts from seawater, achieving high salt-rejection rates at relatively low operating temperatures. Considering the coupled nature of heat and mass transfer and the...

When and How Firms Can Promote Green Innovation for Sustainable Development: A Holistic Examination

Green finance has become a key instrument for addressing environmental degradation and supporting sustainable development. However, existing literature has largely focused on its outcomes, with limited attention to the factors that contribute to its effectiveness. Using an input-...

Isolation and characterization of human skin-derived bacteriophages with antibacterial and antibiofilm activity against coagulase-negative staphylococci

Abstract Coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS), particularly Staphylococcus epidermidis and Staphylococcus capitis , are significant opportunistic pathogens associated with biofilm-related infections and antimicrobial resistance. Although bacteriophage therapy is a promising al...

Objective: The study was conducted to determine the level of internet addiction in parents' lives and to determine the relationship between this situation and children's tendency to be addicted to digital games. Materials and Methods: The study was descriptive, cross-sectional, a...

Integrating Inherent Safety into Sustainable Avocado Oil Production: A NuDIST-Based Assessment of Solvent Extraction

Growing industrial interest in avocado oil manufacturing has increased the need to evaluate not only process performance but also the inherent safety associated with extraction operations. This work evaluates the inherent safety of an industrial avocado oil production route using...

Tumescent Versus Non-Tumescent Technique in Split-Thickness Skin-Graft Harvesting: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

OBJECTIVE: Taking a split-thickness skin graft (STSG) is a common reconstructive procedure, but the donor site often causes patients significant pain and bleeding. The authors investigated whether the tumescent technique is a better, safer method for harvesting these grafts. DATA...

Burning the Black Dragon, Creating Dongbei: Fire Social Ecological History in Northeastern China, 1945–2005

ABSTRACT Modern China’s understanding of wildfires is primarily applied science aimed at resolving issues related to fire management. Dominant conceptions of fire focus on physical processes and interactions – a physical paradigm. This was not always the case and this historical...

Hyperspectral Satellite Imagery for Digital Twinning of Boreal Forests

Digital twins of the Earth require Earth observation data streams that are both spatially continuous and informative about the state of the modelled system. For forests, the standard optical data source is Sentinel-2, whose 10 m multispectral imagery trades spectral detail for sp...

Manner object constructions of satellite-framed languages with Spanish physiological verbs

Abstract Despite their unergative status, the Spanish verbs that express physiological processes are said to enter two transitive structures in which they are complemented by a direct object that is either the actor ( Golpearon con sus puños hasta sangrarlos sobre la puerta ‘They...

Insomnia is associated with altered arachidonic acid–induced platelet aggregation and lower cholesterol independent of age in aspirin-treated unstable angina: a machine learning analysis

BACKGROUND: In aspirin-treated unstable angina (UA), heterogeneity in on-treatment arachidonic acid (AA)-induced platelet aggregation and cholesterol reduction contributes to residual ischemic risk. Insomnia is prevalent in coronary disease, yet its association with specific aspi...
