We describe a custom Internet of Things (IoT) device used for tracking barcoded containers end to end in a high-throughput analysis and purification laboratory. Our IoT device fills an important gap that previously prevented us from fully tracking barcoded sample containers through manual steps in a multistep workflow, such as when samples are "parked" for temporary storage, or when using instrumentation not otherwise equipped with barcode scanners, a common occurrence found with specific centrifugal evaporation instruments. The custom device reads container barcodes and sends a small amount of data to our back-end data systems. Once data have been received and processed, users are alerted to any system responses via aural and visual feedback. Components of the IoT system include a low-cost headless IoT computer, a barcode reader, and a multicolor LED strip. We believe that the model for our device will facilitate simple and rapid deployment of IoT to the broader laboratory community. All source code and device configurations will be released into the public domain and made freely available.

Objectives: Grounded in the Health Empowerment Model, which posits that health literacy and patient empowerment are intertwined yet distinct constructs, this study investigates how the interplay of these factors influences attitudes toward seeking professional psychological help in members of online communities for mental health (OCMHs). This while acknowledging the multidimensionality of patient empowerment, encompassing meaningfulness, competence, self-determination, and impact.

Design And Methods: A cluster analysis of data gathered from 269 members of Italian-speaking OCMHs on Facebook has been performed.

This study investigates the dissemination of archaeological information on Twitter/X through the lens of cultural evolution. By analysing 132,230 tweets containing the hashtag #archaeology from 2021 to 2023, we examine how content and context-related factors influence retweeting behaviour. Our findings reveal that tweets with positive sentiment and non-threatening language are more likely to be shared, contrasting with the common negativity bias observed on social media.

Modelling of online shopping behavior in the Czech online environment.

PLoS One

January 2025

Faculty of Operation and Economics of Transport and Communications, Department of Economics, University of Zilina, Zilina, Slovakia.

The online environment has its own specifics, which shape the specific behavior of all market subjects, both customers and companies that trade electronically. The aim of the paper is to create, quantify and verify a conceptual comprehensive model of relationships between determinants that influence consumers when shopping online. The impetus for the conducted research was the discovery of the non-existence of a comprehensive model of online shopping behavior that reflects the specifics of the online environment.

Introduction: Despite the growing evidence for the effects of tailored internet-delivered cognitive behaviour therapy (ICBT) programmes for those receiving physical rehabilitation, there is a lack of implementation of these programmes in a clinical or community setting. The aim of the current study was to evaluate barriers and facilitators of implementing an ICBT programme into a physical medicine rehabilitation setting.

Methods: Stakeholders with expertise in physical medicine rehabilitation were recruited (n = 25) including: 16 clinicians, 4 administrators, 3 persons with lived experience, and 2 care partners.

Where in the World? Creating a Map Application to Support Nursing Students.

Creat Nurs

January 2025

School of Nursing, Paramedicine and Healthcare Sciences, Charles Sturt University, Wagga Wagga, Australia.

Successful completion of professional experience placement is a key factor for student progress through pre-licensure nursing programmes and subsequent registration as a nurse. Professional experience placement can be a time when students feel the impact of intersectional challenges, and is a point in which attrition occurs. A regional university partnered with their spatial analysis unit to create a customised, interactive, digital map application to support students undertaking professional experience placement.
