Background: COVID-19 mainly affects the respiratory system, although its manifestations are multisystemic. We are increasingly recognizing complications that present after the acute phase, which are associated with impaired functional status and heal...
The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in lasting effects on children, necessitating a thorough understanding of its impact for effective recovery planning. This study investigated the associations among COVID-19 family stress, family functioning, childr...
Background/Objectives: Oral health is an important element of overall health and quality of life. However, few studies have evaluated the association between quality of life (QOL) and oral function, including tongue and lip movements. This study aime...
In dynamic virtual reality, visual cues and motor actions aid auditory perception. With multimodal integration and auditory adaptation effects, generic head-related transfer functions (HRTFs) may yield no significant disadvantage to individual HRTFs...
A head-related transfer function (HRTF) is a mathematical model that describes the acoustic path between a sound source and a listener’s ear. Using binaural synthesis techniques, HRTFs play a crucial role in creating immersive audio experiences...
The global pandemic of obesity and the increasing incidence of chronic respiratory diseases are growing health concerns. The association between obesity and pulmonary function is uncertain. Therefore, this study aimed to explore associations between...
Understanding ecosystem development of post-mining areas requires observing the development of the plant and microbial communities. It is widely known that mutual interaction is important for both of these groups, and both benefit significantly. The...
Most available scales for assessing family relationships are lengthy. Our aim was to develop and validate the Family Functioning and Cohesion Scale (FFCS), a self-reported, short instrument consisting of 14 items. The FFCS was validated through its a...
