THE IDENTIFICATION OF ECONOMICALLY RELEVANT HEALTH AND SOCIAL CARE SERVICES FOR MENTAL DISORDERS IN THE PECUNIA PROJECT

The identification of economically relevant health and social care services for mental disorders in the PECUNIA project

Abstract Background Health economic research is still facing significant problems regarding the standardization and international comparability of health care services.As a result, comparative effectiveness studies and cost-effectiveness analyses are often not comparable.This study is part of the PECUNIA project, which aimed to improve the comparab

Rolling Bearings Fault Diagnosis Based on Improved Complete Ensemble Empirical Mode Decomposition with Adaptive Noise, Nonlinear Entropy, and Ensemble SVM

Rolling bearings are fundamental elements that play a crucial role in the functioning of rotating machines; thus, fault diagnosis of rolling Roasting Bags bearings is of great significance to reduce catastrophic failures and heavy economic loss.However, the vibration signals of rolling bearings are often nonlinear and nonstationary, resulting in di

Intraoperative fluorescence imaging with aminolevulinic acid detects grossly occult breast cancer: a phase II randomized controlled trial

Abstract Background Re-excision due to positive margins following breast-conserving surgery (BCS) negatively affects patient outcomes and healthcare costs.The inability to visualize margin involvement is a significant challenge in BCS.5-Aminolevulinic acid hydrochloride (5-ALA HCl), a non-fluorescent oral prodrug, causes intracellular accumulation

Awareness: An empirical model

In this work, we face the time-honored problem of the contraposition/integration of analytical and intuitive knowledge, and the impact of such interconnection on the onset of awareness resulting from human decision-making processes.Borrowing the definitions of concepts like intuition, tacit knowledge, uncertainty, metacognition, and emotions from t
