(2024-05-09)
This study investigates the goal/habit imbalance theory of compulsion in obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), which postulates enhanced habit formation, increased automaticity, and impaired goal/habit arbitration. It ...
Predictive modelling of transport decisions and resources optimisation in pre-hospital setting using machine learning techniques
(2024-05-03)
Background: The global evolution of pre-hospital care systems faces dynamic challenges, particularly in multinational settings. Machine learning (ML) techniques enable the exploration of deeply embedded data patterns for ...
The importance of recovery and staffing on midwives’ emotional wellbeing: a UK national survey
(2024-05)
Background: There is currently a gap in the evidence on how working practices, such as the ability to take rest breaks, finish on time or intershift recovery influence outcomes. Aim: The aim of this study was to explore ...
Definition, assessment and management of frailty for people with intellectual disabilities: A scoping review.
(2024-05)
