BackgroundThe global burden of chronic respiratory diseases (CRDs) disproportionally affects Roma populations.Health interventions addressing CRD among Roma or other vulnerable groups often fail to be effective, as their implementation strategy misaligns with the local context.To design context-driven strategies, we studied CRD-related beliefs, per
We present an animal model used to evaluate the in vivo performance of electrochemical amperometric continuous lactate sensors compared to blood gas instruments.Electrochemical lactate sensors were fabricated, placed into 5 Fr central venous catheters (CVCs), and paired with wireless potentiostat devices.Following in vivo evaluation and calibration
This study examined three-dimensional, volumetric mean velocity fields and corresponding performance measurements for an isolated vertical-axis wind turbine (VAWT) and for co- and counter-rotating pairs of VAWTs with varying incident wind direction and turbine spacings.The purpose was to identify turbine configurations and flow mechanisms that airp
Abstract Every culture protects its indigenous knowledge and practices, distinguishing them from other cultures.A qualitative inquiry described the traditional processing methods in preparing smoked meat or kinuday, produced by the Ibaloy Indigenous Ethnic group in the Philippines.The saturation method was used to determine data sufficiency.Fifteen
Protecting the lives of citizens and providing qualified medical care is of utmost importance in times of war.At the same time, statistics show that numerous cases of criminal offences committed by healthcare professionals do not result in them actually serving a criminal sentence.The purpose of this study was to investigate the issues of non-perfo
