The current literature contains multiple examples of exercise interventions to foster health and to prevent/treat many chronic non-communicable diseases; stress and functional syndromes. On the other hand, sedentariness is increasing and to transform...
Background/Objectives: The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare has been progressively expanding, with growing interest in its potential application in palliative care, particularly in exercise prescription. However, there is lim...
High-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) is the most frequent and aggressive form of ovarian cancer, representing an important challenge for clinicians. Half of HGSOC cases have homologous recombination deficiency (HRD), which has specific causes (ma...
Indirect calorimetry (IC) is considered as the gold standard to determine energy expenditure, by measuring pulmonary gas exchanges. It is a non-invasive technique that allows clinicians to personalize the prescription of nutrition support to the meta...
Prescriptive Maintenance (PsM) transforms industrial asset management by enabling autonomous decisions through simultaneous failure anticipation and optimal maintenance recommendations. Yet, despite increasing research interest, the conceptual clarit...

Conventional research on digital business development offers a limited view, overwhelmingly concerned with the isolated effects of individual variables while overlooking their synergistic relationships. This study challenges this reductive perspectiv...
In the transition toward Industry 5.0, physical human–robot interaction (pHRI) operates as an open bio-technical system far from thermodynamic equilibrium. Traditional industrial automation relies on quasi-static anthropometry and post-hoc chec...
High urbanization in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) has resulted in increased peri-urban groundwater contamination by on-site sanitation. The World Health Organization introduced Water Safety Plans (WSP) towards the elimination of contamination risks to wa...
Circularity is becoming increasingly important for Distribution System Operators (DSOs) as their infrastructure ages and needs replacement, alongside compliance with stringent environmental regulations like the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Dire...
Long-term oxygen therapy (LTOT) has become standard care for the treatment of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and other severe hypoxemic lung diseases. The use of new portable O2 concentrators (POC) in LTOT is being expande...
Introduction: In the current absence of specific functional fracture risk assessment technology, the planning of physical exercise interventions for cancer patients suffering from increased bone fracture risk remains a serious clinical challenge. Unt...
In recent decades, the exponential growth of the global seafood industry has intensified the exploitation of aquatic invertebrates, particularly decapod crustaceans, whose commercial value continues to rise alongside consumer demand. This expansion h...
Rapid urbanization in developing countries intensifies solid waste management (SWM) challenges and demands integrated sustainability approaches. This study examines institutional actors’ perceptions of SWM governance and waste-to-construction-m...
Polypharmacy is associated with a risk of negative health outcomes. Potentially inappropriate medications, interactions resulting from contradicting medical guidelines, and inappropriate monitoring, all increase the risk. This process evaluation (PE)...
Excessive fertilizer use has led to environmental pollution and reduced crop yields, underscoring the importance of research into variable-rate fertilization (VRF) based on digital image technology in precision agriculture. Current methods, which rel...
A new method based on the Recurrence Quantification Analysis (RQA) of the heart rate (HR) offers an objective, efficient alternative to traditional methods for Aerobic Threshold (AerT) identification that have practical limitations due to the complex...
Brazilian jiu-jitsu (BJJ) is a combat sport that requires intermittent high-intensity actions, strong technical skills, strength, and aerobic capacity. Yet, there is limited evidence of validated sport-specific field protocols. This study aimed to de...

The digital transformation of health systems and the increasing adoption of data-driven public health strategies have intensified the need for methods capable of capturing, structuring, and analyzing information derived from clinical interactions. In...
Assessment feedback on complex written reports remains one of the most persistent and resource-intensive challenges in higher education. However, no principled framework exists for deciding which feedback tasks might appropriately involve artificial...
(1) Background: Accurate inversion of crop water content is key to making an intelligent irrigation decision. However, little effort has been devoted to accurately estimating the crop water content of winter wheat in the North China Plain. (2) Method...
Digital devices have gained popularity in the last 10 years as a tool for exercise prescription, the monitoring of daily physical activity, and nutrition for the management of a health-related parameter. Therefore, the aim of this study was to assess...
(1) Background: Differential RPE (dRPE) separates scores for breathlessness (RPE-B), leg muscle exertion (RPE-L) and technical/cognitive exertion (RPE-T). Limited information for dRPE is available in soccer match play, yet these measurements may help...
With rapid urbanization, the generation of municipal solid waste is growing, placing ever-increasing pressure on cities to close, remediate and repurpose landfill sites in environmentally sustainable and climate-adaptive ways. Traditional landfill fi...
Arpa Piemonte has been carrying out, for a long time, controls on clearable materials from nuclear power plants to verify compliance with clearance levels set by ISIN (Ispettorato Nazionale per la Sicurezza Nucleare e la Radioprotezione - National In...
This study aimed to understand how the design of decision-making tasks affects youth football players’ ball control, passing performance, and external load. A total of 16 male youth football players (age: 12.94 ± 0.25 years) competed in...
