Developing a patient care pathway for emotional support around the point of multiple sclerosis diagnosis: A stakeholder engagement study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Background: Diagnosing multiple sclerosis (MS) can be a lengthy process, which can negatively affect psychological well-being, condition management, and future engagement with health services. Therefore, providing timely ... -
Group psychological intervention for emotional distress in haematopoietic stem cell transplantation: A feasibility randomised clinical trial
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Purpose: Haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is an intensive procedure associated with elevated psychological distress, particularly during the initial stages. Based on self-regulatory theory, a prophylactic ... -
UV-Nanoimprint Lithography for Predefined SERS Nanopatterns Which Are Reproducible at Low Cost and High Throughput
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)A controlled and reliable nanostructured metallic substrate is a prerequisite for developing effective surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectroscopy techniques. In this study, we present a novel SERS platform ... -
Facilitators and Barriers to the Sustainability of eHealth Solutions in Low- And Middle-Income Countries: Descriptive Exploratory Study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Background: Despite the widely anticipated benefits of eHealth technologies in enhancing health care service delivery, the sustainable usage of eHealth in transitional countries remains low. There is limited evidence ... -
Evaluation of hot and warm forming of age-hardenable aluminium alloys into manufacturing of automotive safety critical parts
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Lightweight solutions will become increasingly necessary for the next generation of passenger cars. Applications of age-hardenable high strength aluminium material can be superior to traditional low strength alloys, ... -
Explainability and Interpretability Concepts for Edge AI Systems
(River Publishers Series in Communications;, Chapter, 2023)The increased complexity of artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) methods, models, and training data to satisfy industrial application needs has emphasised the need for AI model providing ... -
The Big Bang of Deep Learning in Ultrasound-Guided Surgery: A Review
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Ultrasound (US) imaging is a paramount modality in many image-guided surgeries and percutaneous interventions, thanks to its high portability, temporal resolution, and cost-efficiency. However, due to its imaging principles, ... -
Muscle function during cross-country skiing at different speed and incline conditions
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The human musculoskeletal system is well adapted to use energy-efficient muscle–tendon mechanics during walking and running, but muscle behaviour during on-snow locomotion is unknown. Here, we examined muscle and muscle–tendon ... -
Multi-Modal SLAM for Accurate Localisation in Self-similar Environments
(Chapter, 2023)Regular inspection and maintenance (I&M) of road tunnels is critical for ensuring safe operation and maximising the infrastructure's longevity. Today's I&M operations are time-consuming and disruptive to normal operations, ... -
Best Practices and Lessons Learned in eHealth in Four Low and Lower Middle-Income Countries in Africa
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Studying best practices and lessons learned is important to improve performance and avoid previous mistakes of projects and interventions. In this paper, the analysis of ehealth interventions in four African Low and Lower ... -
A Reinforcement Learning framework for Wake Steering of Wind Turbines
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Ideally, optimum power for a single turbine is obtained when the wind-turbine is aligned with the wind direction. However in multi-turbine wind-farm set-up, wake effects lead to decreased power production from downstream ... -
The Effect of Digitalization and Human-Centric on Companies’ Production Performances
(Lecture Notes in Mechanical Engineering;, Chapter, 2023)Industry 5.0 is the inclusion of humans in the production line. This is because human is now considered a prerequisite for any industry to enhance production performances. However, most of the technological enablers still ... -
Probabilistic Planning of Distribution Networks with Optimal DG Placement Under Uncertainties

(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Purpose: This study aims to emphasize the importance of taking into account the perspectives of prospective participants and identifying potential tensions in action research. Design/methodology/approach: This paper ... -
On the preservation of second integrals by Runge-Kutta methods
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)One can elucidate integrability properties of ordinary differential equations (ODEs) by knowing the existence of second integrals (also known as weak integrals or Darboux polynomials for polynomial ODEs). However, little ... -
Moderation of people’s subjective reactions to road noise
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)When the road administrations have used all technically feasible and economically possible measures to reduce the noise, there can still be a need for further reduction of the annoyance. Analyses reveal that only about 1/3 ... -
