BACKGROUND: Following a severe burn injury, individuals embark on a lifelong process of managing and integrating the physical, psychological, and social consequences, including functional limitations, fatigue, altered body image, and psychological trauma. To aid in this process, healthcare professionals …

Metacognition, the ability to reflect and regulate one's cognitive processes, has been shown to play a role in various aspects of life, particularly in academic settings. While important steps have been made in uncovering the neural basis of metacognition for highly specific domains (such as perceptual …

Background and Aim. Developing green campuses anticipates to contemporary environmental and health challenges by enhancing biodiversity with green spaces and promoting well-being through outdoor education and active pathways. Inspired by The UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), this paper highlights …

The illegal production of synthetic drugs in clandestine laboratories is an emerging threat within the European Union, necessitating improved methods for law enforcement agencies to locate these illegal sites. Combining gas chromatography and ion mobility spectrometry is a promising technology for reliably …

Gaussian Splatting has emerged as a powerful technique for high-fidelity 3D scene representation, yet its computational demands hinder rapid visualization, particularly on CPU-based systems. This paper introduces a lightweight method for efficient thumbnail generation from Gaussian splatting data, leveraging …

To effectively prepare students for navigating complex societal and sustainability challenges, higher education institutions are increasingly experimenting with transdisciplinary learning environments (TLEs) in which students collaborate with external stakeholders across disciplinary and sectoral boundaries. …

The growing adoption of residential and community-based photovoltaics (PV) have raised concerns about grid congestion and transformer overload. This paper evaluates three strategies for PV–battery integration in decentralised energy communities using real network and residential data to address these …

The Quality Cost Indicator (QCI) model supports value-based health care at the institutional level, by calculating disease-specific health outcomes per unit cost over time. The aim of this study was to adapt the QCI model for specialized burn care (the BC-QCI model) and explore its utilization using …

Privacy concerns can potentially make camera-based object classification unsuitable for robot navigation. To address this problem, we propose a novel object classification system using only a 2D-LiDAR sensor on mobile robots. The proposed system enables semantic understanding of the environment by applying …
