Remote monitoring using electronic patient reported outcomes (ePROs) in axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) may improve self-management and reduce the need for consultations. However, knowledge regarding patients’ willingness to use remote care and adherence to reporting ePROs is scarce. The objective of this study was to assess axSpA patients’ willingness to use remote care and adherence to reporting ...

The goal of this paper is to provide a useful desktop reference for the imaging of suspected child abuse with clear, age-specific pathways for appropriate evidence-based imaging and follow-up.<p> <p>We aim to provide a road map for the imaging evaluation and follow-up of this important and vulnerable cohort of patients presenting with signs and symptoms concerning for inflicted injury. As the ...

Early detection of breast cancer is essential for increasing survival rates, as it is one of the primary causes of death for women globally. Mammograms are extensively used by physicians for diagnosis, but selecting appropriate algorithms for image enhancement, segmentation, feature extraction, and classification remains a significant research challenge. This paper presents a computer-aided diagnosis ...

Object detection in maritime environments is a challenging problem because of the continuously changing background and moving objects resulting in shearing, occlusion, noise, etc. Unluckily, this problem is of critical importance since such failure may result in significant loss of human lives and economic loss. The available object detection methods rely on radar and sonar sensors. Even with the ...

Considering recent calls for change towards a more liveable tourism academia, we combined critical participatory action research with duoethnography to develop The Academic Line—a humorous comic project about academic life. We used traditional theories of humour to leverage the effectiveness of comics as communicative devices and explored how and to what extent our project promoted solidarity, ...

Purpose: The Youth Olympic Games (YOG), the largest international sport event for young athletes, allows athletes to take part in an Olympic educational program. These programs have never been examined through the lens of Experiential Learning Theory (ELT). The purpose of this study is to provide in-depth analysis and evaluation of all YOG educational programs design by date (2010 – 2020) through ...

In recent years, the concept of Maritime Autonomous Surface Ships (MASSs) has gotten attention both from the research community and shipping industry. The recent development in advanced sensing, communication, and control technologies makes it possible to operate such vessels remotely through Onshore Operation Centers (OOCs). However, there are still several challenges that need to be addressed ...

Autonomous shipping has received extensive attention from the maritime industry as well as the respective research, academic and training institutes, owing to its major benefits related to cost and safety over traditional shipping in many situations. In reality, the implementation of autonomous technology in shipping can face numerous challenges from the technology and regulatory perspectives. ...
