Fostering cultural resilience: assessing the success of a locally engaged and adapted mental health intervention in Gaza
(2024-07-16)In ongoing-conflict-affected regions like Gaza, the prevalence of complex and intersecting post-traumatic stress disorders (PTSDs) necessitates innovative interventions. Our study explores a mental health care approach ... -
Digital endpoints in clinical trials: emerging themes from a multi-stakeholder Knowledge Exchange event
(2024-08-03)Background: Digital technologies, such as wearable devices and smartphone applications (apps), can enable the decentralisation of clinical trials by measuring endpoints in people’s chosen locations rather than in traditional ... -
Multimodal Affective Communication Analysis: Fusing Speech Emotion and Text Sentiment Using Machine Learning
(2024-08-30)Affective communication, encompassing verbal and non-verbal cues, is crucial for understanding human interactions. This study introduces a novel framework for enhancing emotional understanding by fusing speech emotion ... -
Interface Engineering of Water-Dispersible Near-Infrared-Emitting CuInZnS/ZnSe/ZnS Quantum Dots
(2024-07-18)We report the synthesis of near-infrared (IR)-emitting core/shell/shell quantum dots of CuInZnS/ZnSe/ZnS and their phase transfer to water. The intermediate ZnSe shell was added to inhibit the migration of ions from the ... -
The Absurdity of Rational Choice: Time Travel, Foreknowledge, and the Aesthetic Dimension of Newcomb Problems
(2024-07-06)Nikk Effingham and Huw Price argue that in certain cases of Newcomb problems involving time travel and foreknowledge, being given information about the future makes it rational to choose as an evidential decision theorist ... -
Experimental Investigation on the Temperature Control Performance of Compressed Air Coupled Phase Change Plate System for Underground Refuge Chamber
(2024-11-15)Controlling the temperature is a prerequisite for ensuring the safety of evacuees in underground refuge chamber. Previous studies have only studied the use of pressurized air or phase change for temperature control in ... -
Navigating roundabouts and unprotected turns in autonomous driving
(2024-07-01)The development of a fully autonomous driving vehicle (AV) requires various traffic situations to be handled efficiently. One of the most common driving manoeuvres which an AV experiences in daily traffic is giving way ... -
Critical Factors for Assessing Building Deconstructability: Exploratory and Confirmatory Factor Analysis
(2024-08-31)In various cities/other urban settlements, buildings are replaced with newer stocks, ending many buildings' lives. Unfortunately, these buildings nearing or at end-of-useful lives are mostly not deconstructed; instead, ... -
