The concept of continuity of care is introduced and briefly discussed. Three aspects of subacute rehabilitation of patients with Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) are discussed: the need for differentiated treatment programs, for team integration and emphasis on environmental or milieu factors to accomplish treatment success. The so called Wing Team Model at the TBI Unit at Sunnaas Rehabilitation Hospital is described. In our program the patients are divided in three groups: the North Wing Program, for slow to recover patients, the East Wing program for patients with severe sequelae after TBI and the South Wing Program for ambulatory patients mainly with cognitive sequelae. A questionnaire study of how staff members evaluate certain aspects of the program is presented. The study indicates that the staff members have in general a positive attitude towards the treatment model, but they wish an improved team coordination of the individual programs.

Spotted wing drosophila (SWD) is a pest that causes damage due to the female laying eggs under the skin of ripe fruit, from which a larva emerges, causing its collapse and reducing its commercial value. Due to the importance of this pest, monitoring its population is the starting point for any control program; however, there is no early monitoring plan within management tasks, nor are there studies on behavior, the optimization of traps, or their baits. This research proposes the evaluation of a monitoring system with encapsulated baits and adhesive traps that allow effective control.

Flapping wing micro aerial vehicles (FWMAVs) are recognized for their significant potential in military and civilian applications, such as military reconnaissance, environmental monitoring, and disaster rescue. However, the lack of takeoff and landing capabilities, particularly in landing behavior, greatly limits their adaptability to the environment during tasks. In this paper, the purple stem beetle (), a natural flying insect, was chosen as the bionic research object.

Background: Sleep deprivation is a prevalent problem among adolescents which is closely related to various adverse outcomes. The lack of efficacy of current sleep education programs among adolescents argues for the need to refine the content and format of the intervention. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a group-based sleep intervention using motivational interviewing plus text reminders in changing adolescent sleep habits.
