A hybrid study combining technological production and methodological research aiming to establish associations between the data and information that are part of a Computerized Nursing Process according to the ICNP® Version 1.0, indicators of patient safety and quality of care. Based on the guidelines of the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality and the American Association of Critical Care Nurses for the expansion of warning systems, five warning systems were developed: potential for iatrogenic pneumothorax, potential for care-related infections, potential for suture dehiscence in patients after abdominal or pelvic surgery, potential for loss of vascular access, and potential for endotracheal extubation. The warning systems are a continuous computerized resource of essential situations that promote patient safety and enable the construction of a way to stimulate clinical reasoning and support clinical decision making of nurses in intensive care.

Public health interventions reduce infection risk, while imposing significant costs on both individuals and the society. Interventions can also lead to behavioral changes, as individuals weigh the cost and benefits of avoiding infection. Aggregate epidemiological models typically focus on the population-level consequences of interventions, often not incorporating the mechanisms driving behavioral adaptations associated with interventions compliance.

In renewable power systems, the interaction between generators, power electronic devices, and the grid has led to frequent high-frequency oscillation (HFO) events. These events can result in significant generation losses and pose serious threats to system stability. Therefore, the rapid and accurate HFO parameter estimation is crucial for early warning and effective mitigation of HFO.

The identification of tipping points is essential for the prediction of collapses or other sudden changes in complex systems. Applications include studies of ecology, thermodynamics, climatology, and epidemiology. However, detecting early signs of proximity to a tipping is made challenging by complexity and nonlinearity.

Detection and attribution (DA) studies are cornerstones of climate science, providing crucial evidence for policy decisions. Their goal is to link observed climate change patterns to anthropogenic and natural drivers via the optimal fingerprinting method (OFM). We show that response theory for nonequilibrium systems offers the physical and dynamical basis for OFM, including the concept of causality used for attribution.

Background: The administration of cognitive tests in patients' homes facilitates access by underserved communities and increases testing capacity and efficiency. However, the validity of at-home computerized cognitive tests is often questioned because of limitations in examiner monitoring, distractions, environmental noise, and potential cheating. Here, we compare performance of the computerized and proctored California Cognitive Assessment Battery (CCAB) when administered at-home or in the laboratory using otherwise identical procedures.
