Pharmacists' Knowledge, Attitudes, and Perceptions Towards Antibiotic Prescribing, Antimicrobial Stewardship and Resistance at Secondary Care Settings in the UK
(2024-05-18)This study investigates the knowledge, attitudes, and perceptions (KAP) of pharmacists regarding antimicrobial stewardship (AMS) and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) during the COVID-19 pandemic in secondary care settings ... -
Controllable hydrophobization of sands with self-healing polymeric microcapsules
(2024-05-18)Hydrophobized soils have functional hydrophobic coatings to delay or restrict water infiltration and thus prevent infrastructure failure and long-term degradation. Over time, hydrophobized soils will be subjected to ... -
Integrating HPWS and Organisational Memory for Enhanced Employee Performance
(2024-05-17)This research paper investigates the relationship between high-performance work systems (HPWS), organisational memory, and employee in-role performance, focusing on the direct impact of HPWS on different dimensions of ... -

(2024-05-18)Antibiotic Prescribing: A Study from an English NHS Foundation Trusts During The COVID-19 Pandemic - Sustainability Development. This retrospective study examines antibiotic prescribing practices at an English NHS Foundation ... -
Use of mixed gas pneumoperitoneum during minimally invasive surgery: a systematic review of human and mouse modelled laparoscopic interventions
(2024-05-17)The formation of pneumoperitoneum involves the process of inflating the peritoneal cavity during laparoscopic and typically uses CO2 as the insufflation gas. This review aims to identify ideal gas mixtures for establishing ... -
The power of past performance in multidimensional supplier evaluation and supplier selection: Debiasing anchoring bias and its knock-on effects
(2024-05-16)This research examines how anchoring bias affects managers’ multi-dimensional evaluations of supplier performance, supplier selection, and the effectiveness of two debiasing techniques. We consider the supplier past ... -
The human in the loop Perspectives and challenges for RoboCup 2050
(2024-05-16)Robotics researchers have been focusing on developing autonomous and human-like intelligent robots that are able to plan, navigate, manipulate objects, and interact with humans in both static and dynamic environments. These ... -
Gaia23bab: a new EXor
(2024-05-16)On March 6 2023, the Gaia telescope has alerted a 2-magnitude burst from Gaia23bab, a Young Stellar Object in the Galactic plane. We observed Gaia23bab with the Large Binocular Telescope obtaining optical and near-infrared ... -
A survey for variable young stars with small telescopes – IX. Evolution of spot properties on YSOs in IC 5070
(2024-04-01)We present spot properties on 32 periodic young stellar objects in IC 5070. Long term, ∼5 yr, light curves in the V, R, and I-bands are obtained through the HOYS (Hunting Outbursting Young Stars) citizen science project. ... -
Near-infrared spectroscopic characterisation of Gaia ultra-cool dwarf candidates
(2024-05-01)Context. The local census of very low-mass stars and brown dwarfs is crucial to improving our understanding of the stellar-substellar transition and their formation history. These objects, known as ultra-cool dwarfs (UCDs), ... -
Tissue factor pathway inhibitor and interleukin-1 receptor levels in COVID-19
(2024-05-10)The observation that SARS-CoV-2 predisposes patients to pulmonary immunothrombosis and venous thromboembolism (VTE), and furthermore, that the risk of VTE is directly proportional to the severity of COVID-19disease, has ... -
