Background: Traditionally, assessment of praxis skills in children with ASD has focused on the evaluation of aspects related to the planning and execution of actions. This study aimed to evaluate the ideational abilities of children with ASD and anal...
Sex differences in restricted and repetitive behaviors (RRBs) in individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) have been explored with mixed findings. We aimed to investigate sex differences in RRBs through a specific measure—i.e., the Repetitive B...
Background: This study examined peer interactions among late-diagnosed autistic adolescents, focusing on biological sex differences. Methods: Participants included 61 adolescents aged 12–18 years (31 boys, 30 girls) with an Intelligence Quotien...
KBG syndrome (KBGS) is a rare Mendelian condition caused by heterozygous mutations in ANKRD11 or microdeletions in chromosome 16q24.3 encompassing the gene. KBGS is clinically variable, which makes its diagnosis difficult in a significant proportion...
This study investigates the knowledge, perception and trust in Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) among drivers in Eastern Sicily, a Mediterranean region characterized by infrastructural and socio-economic differences. A structured survey (N =...
This review attempted to collate and synthesize information on goat welfare and production constraints during heat stress exposure. Among the farm animals, goats arguably are considered the best-suited animals to survive in tropical climates. Heat st...
Background and Objectives: Current psychiatric care is increasingly focusing on patients’ quality of life (QoL). Research is still trying to determine the main factors which influence QoL. The present study aims to assess the QoL of patients wi...
Background/Objectives: The integrity of proximal contact and marginal adaptation in Class II composite restorations is essential for mechanical stability, interfacial integrity, and long-term clinical performance. These outcomes are strongly influenc...
Household waste separation at the source is a central part of waste management systems in Sweden. Resource recovery of materials and energy increased substantially after separate collection was implemented in the 1990s. A procedure to transform recyc...
Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS), a rare genetic disorder caused by the lack of expression of paternal genes from chromosome 15q11-13, has been investigated for autism spectrum disorder (ASD) symptomatology in various studies. However, previous findings h...

Many western societies are confronted with issues in planning and adapting their health policies due to an ageing population living alone. The “NOt Alone at Home—NOAH” project aimed to involve older people in the Agile co-creation o...
This study assessed problems associated with irrigation water provisions and the potential barriers to the adaptation of the interventions (soil moisture sensors, on-farm water storage facilities and the drip method) under rotational canal water dist...
This paper proposes a novel adaptive controller based on digital twin (DT) by integrating software-in-loop (SIL) and hardware-in-loop (HIL). This work aims to reduce the difference between the SIL controller and its physical controller counterpart us...
Context: The increasing adoption of Internet of Things (IoT) technologies has transformed digital marketing into a software-intensive, data-driven ecosystem requiring continuous optimization under uncertainty. Existing decision-support approaches pri...
Background: Sweet taste adaptation, the decline in perceived sweetness with repeated exposure, may influence dietary behavior and differs across sweeteners. Low-calorie sweeteners (LCSs) such as sucralose strongly activate the T1R2+T1R3 receptor and...
This study assessed the resilience of pistachio production systems in the Rafsanjan plain in Iran using an index of behavior-based indicators. One-hundred fifty pistachio orchards located in five major production areas were studied in 2016. The data...
Background: Hand trauma accounts for up to one-third of trauma-related emergency department (ED) visits and ranges from minor lacerations to complex multi-structural injuries. As healthcare systems, workflows, and patient behavior evolve, contemporar...
This study aimed to examine the influence of the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) system on match performance indicators in professional football, specifically within the Turkish Super League. The objectives were two-fold: (i) to compare match variables...
A recent generalized Bilal (G-Bilal) model demonstrates remarkable flexibility in capturing a wide spectrum of failure behaviors, including monotonic and non-monotonic (upside-down bathtub-shaped) hazard patterns, outperforming several existing model...
Skeletal muscle dysfunction is a major systemic manifestation of COPD that shapes symptoms, exercise tolerance and mortality. Current evidence can be integrated within a Damage–Regeneration–Remodeling framework linking mechanics and biolo...
Large-scale urban tree donation campaigns are widely implemented worldwide as nature-based solutions for climate adaptation and mitigation; however, most programs lack individual-level traceability and post-donation monitoring, limiting accountabilit...
Active distribution networks (ADNs) require battery energy storage system (BESS) scheduling strategies that reduce operating costs while preserving electrical feasibility and battery lifetime. This paper proposes a parallel adapted JAYA-based methodo...
