INTRODUCTION: Community-based participatory research (CBPR) is a collaborative research approach that equally engages researchers and community stakeholders throughout all steps of the research process to facilitate social change and increase research relevance. Community advisory boards (CABs) are a CBPR tool in which individuals with lived experience and community organisations are integrated into the research process and ensure the work aligns with community priorities. We seek to (1) explore the best practices for the recruitment and engagement of people with lived experiences on CABs and (2) identify the scope of literature on minimising power dynamics between organisations and community members with lived experience who work on CABs together...

Modern deep networks are trained with stochastic gradient descent (SGD) whose key hyperparameters are the number of data considered at each step or batch size [Formula: see text], and the step size or learning rate [Formula: see text]. For small [Formula: see text] and large [Formula: see text], SGD corresponds to a stochastic evolution of the parameters, whose noise amplitude is governed by the "temperature" [Formula: see text]. Yet this description is observed to break down for sufficiently large batches [Formula: see text], or simplifies to gradient descent (GD) when the temperature is sufficiently small...

Observational pieces of evidence of space probes Voyagers and IBEX to study the Sun's heliosphere, the outer Solar system, and interstellar space beyond the Sun's heliosphere indicate that perturbations in some regions may occur in situations out of the pure thermal equilibrium, e.g., in the outer heliosphere regions, the inner heliosheath regions, and in heliopause regions. The data analysis extracted from these probes also shows that the transitions between the near/far-equilibrium states may happen in some areas, e...

We investigate the moiré band structures and the strong correlation effects in twisted bilayer MoTe[Formula: see text] for a wide range of twist angles, employing a combination of various techniques. Using large-scale first-principles calculations, we pinpoint realistic continuum modeling parameters, subsequently deriving the maximally localized Wannier functions for the top three moiré bands. Simplifying our model with reasonable assumptions, we obtain a minimal two-band model, encompassing Coulomb repulsion, correlated hopping, and spin exchange...

INTRODUCTION: People who are dependent on opioids experience acute pain similar to other individuals. However, treating acute pain in these patients renders unique challenges such as opioid-induced hyperalgesia, opioid tolerance, withdrawal and stigma from healthcare providers. Thus, it is crucial to identify effective strategies for treating acute pain in this population and to highlight gaps in knowledge to create a high standard of care. The main objective of the proposed scoping review is to identify current strategies for treating the acute pain in individuals with opioid dependence or use disorder...

Digitization created a demand for highly efficient handwritten document recognition systems. A handwritten document consists of digits, text, symbols, diagrams, etc. Digits are an essential element of handwritten documents. Accurate recognition of handwritten digits is vital for effective communication and data analysis. Various researchers have attempted to address this issue with modern convolutional neural network (CNN) techniques. Even after training, CNN filter weights remain unchanged despite the high identification accuracy...

INTRODUCTION: While ensuring appropriate growth is essential for all children, optimising nutritional status in children with cystic fibrosis (CF) is critical for improving health outcomes. Nutritional challenges in CF are multifactorial and malnutrition is common. While gastrostomy tubes (G-tubes) can improve weight status in individuals with CF, they also have common and chronic complications resulting in clinical equipoise. To date, factors influencing G-tube decision-making among caregivers of children with CF have not been systematically explored...

BACKGROUND: The information provided to potential trial participants plays a crucial role in their decision-making. Printed participant information sheets for trials have received recurrent criticism as being too long and technical, unappealing and hard to navigate. An alternative is to provide information through multimedia (text, animations, video, audio, diagrams and photos). However, there is limited evidence on the effects of multimedia participant information on research recruitment rates, particularly in children and young people...

In routine hematological instruments, blood cells are counted and sized by monitoring the impedance signals induced during their passage through a Coulter orifice. However, only signals associated with centered paths in the aperture are considered for analysis, while the rejected measurements, caused by near-wall trajectories, can provide additional information on red blood cells (RBC), as recent publications suggest. To assess usefulness of two new parameters in describing alterations in RBC properties, we performed a pilot study to compare blood samples from patients with diabetes mellitus (DM), frequent pathological condition associated with impairment in RBC deformability, versus controls...
