Exploring socio-demographic determinants of breast self-examination practices among Jordanian women: insights from the 2023 population-based survey
Background Breast cancer is the most prevalent cancer and the leading cause of cancer-related deaths among Jordanian women. Breast self-examination (BSE) plays a vital role in the...
In silico evaluation of garlic-derived organosulfur compounds as multi-target inhibitors of breast cancer biomarkers
Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer mortality among women globally, and drug resistance complicates treatment. Garlic-derived organosulfur compounds exhibit anticancer potential, but their mu...
An RVFLNs ensemble modeling method integrating PCA and PSO: Application to yield prediction of Nongxiang Baijiu
To investigate the mapping relationship between key process parameters and Baijiu yield during the steaming and distillation process of Baijiu fermented material (SDP-BFM) and to optimize these parame...
Interactions in psychosocial interventions in dementia care: A systematic review protocol
Background Psychosocial interventions are regarded as preferable in dementia care, as they have been tested as effective in preserving people living with dementia’s function, reduc...
Digital health literacy of adolescents: A scoping review protocol
Introduction Adolescence is a key developmental period in which new health behaviours are often initiated that track into adulthood. In the age of digitisation, adolescents are fre...
An improved control strategy of power-frequency characteristics of virtual synchronous generator
A coupling relationship exists between virtual inertia J and damping coefficient D in traditional virtual synchronous ge...
ScaleDefrag: Design and implementation of a scalable file defragmentation tool for flash-based SSDs
We propose ScaleDefrag , a parallel and asynchronous defragmentation tool that reduces defragmentation time by up to 3.8× compared to e4defr...
From movement to METs: A validation of ActTrust® for energy expenditure estimation and physical activity classification in young adults
Estimating physical activity (PA) levels is a challenging and expensive task. An alternative could be the use of actigraphy devices to estimate PA. This has been previously done to a number of devices...
Migrant mothers’ experiences of postnatal depression in the UK
Background Despite the majority of migrants coming to the UK for voluntary reasons such as study, work or family, few studies explore their experiences of mental health. Prevalence...
Design and in silico evaluation of an mRNA vaccine against HTLV-1 using AI-driven reverse vaccinology approaches
Human T-lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1) is the first discovered human oncogenic retrovirus that can cause adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma, HTLV-1-associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis,...
Wuqinxi exercise for mind and balance: Enhancing cognition, fall prevention, and quality of life in older adults with mild cognitive impairment
Background The risk of falls is a global public health issue, with over 38 million disability-adjusted life years lost annually due to falls. However, older adults with mild cognit...
MS-YOLOv11: A multi-scale feature fusion network for real-time rooftop photovoltaic detection from UAV images
With the rapid proliferation of distributed solar energy, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have emerged as indispensable tools for rooftop photovoltaic (PV) inspection. However, practical deployment is...
