Syndromic surveillance of population-level COVID-19 burden with cough monitoring in a hospital emergency waiting room.

Syndromic surveillance is an effective tool for enabling the timely detection of infectious disease outbreaks and facilitating the implementation of effective mitigation strategies by public health authorities. While various information sources are currently utilized to collect syndromic signal data for analysis, the aggregated measurement of cough, an important symptom for many illnesses, is not widely employed as a syndromic signal. With recent advancements in ubiquitous sensing technologies, it becomes feasible to continuously measure population-level cough incidence in a contactless, unobtrusive, and automated manner.

Design and optimization of a high efficiency CdTe-FeSi based double-junction two-terminal tandem solar cell.

This article theoretically demonstrates an enormously efficient CdTe-FeSi based dual-junction tandem solar cell accompanied by slender semiconductor layers. The peak efficiency of the device has been ensured through the optimization of its various attributes of window, CdTe (bandgap 1.5 eV) top absorber, FeSi (bandgap 0.

Meta-analysis investigating the impact of the LEPR rs1137101 (A>G) polymorphism on obesity risk in Asian and Caucasian ethnicities.

Obesity is a chronic condition which is identified by the buildup of excess body fat caused by a combination of various factors, including genetic predisposition and lifestyle choices. rs1137101 (A > G) polymorphism in the CHR1 domain of LEPR protein linked to different diseases including obesity. Nevertheless, the connection between this polymorphism and the likelihood of developing obesity has not been determined definitively.

Implementation of jute-based nose holder in surgical masks to reduce plastic contamination.

Plastic, in all its forms, always harms the environment, humans, and other living organisms. The coronavirus situation exacerbates the use of plastic products more than at any other time, of which surgical masks contribute to plastic pollution the most. These masks spread to terrestrial and aquatic environments, where they break down into even more noxious microplastics.

A cognitive behaviour data analysis on the use of social media in global south context focusing on Bangladesh.

This study aimed to investigate the factors that contribute to the propagation of COVID-19 vaccine misinformation on social media in Bangladesh. We attempted to identify the links between the propagation of misinformation and the factors associated with trust in sources based on personal ties among our respondents. In order to find our targeted outcomes, we used a cognitive method in our survey.
