Home emergency response team for the seriously ill palliative care patient: feasibility and effectiveness.

Objectives: To characterise trajectories associated with a new team organisation combining critical care and palliative care approaches at home.

Methods: We describe the pattern of an emergency response team 24/7 directed to patients with advanced illness presenting a distressing symptom at home, who wanted to stay at home and for whom hospitalisation was considered inappropriate by a shared medical decision-making process in an emergency situation. To assess preliminary impact of this Programme, we conducted a descriptive study on all consecutive patients receiving this intervention during the first year (between 6 September 2021 and 5 September 2022).

Carbon mitigation by quota allocation.

To avoid the calamitous consequences of an even warmer world, the efforts are focused on overarching and immediate solutions to reduce the greenhouse gases. The emissions trading scheme is deemed worldwide as an ecological and robust management mechanism to curb carbon emissions. The challenge is how to design such a scheme to attain the basic purpose of installing a uniform system and equilibrium efficiency achievement.

Self-reported fears and mental health in elementary school children across Europe.

Fears are common in the general population and particularly among children. The number of fear subtypes (animals, natural environment, situational, blood-injection-injury or other type) has been shown to be associated with psychopathology. Furthermore, there is evidence suggesting that some subtypes may be more often associated with mental disorders than others.

The implementation of artificial neural networks for the multivariable optimization of mesoporous NiO nanocrystalline: biodiesel application.

In the present research, artificial neural network (ANN) modelling was utilized to determine the relative importance of effective variables to achieve optimum specific surface areas of a synthesized catalyst. Initially, carbonaceous nanocrystalline mesoporous NiO core-shell solid sphere composites were produced by applying incomplete carbonized glucose (ICG) as the pore directing agent and polyethylene glycol (PEG; 4000) as the surfactant a hydrothermal-assisted method. The Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) model was applied to ascertain the textural characteristics of the as-prepared mesoporous NiO catalyst.
