Article Abstract
In this paper, we present a redundant microsensor based on the bulk and etch silicononinsulator (BESOI) process for measuring relative humidity (RH), by using a grapheneoxide/polyvinylalcohol (GO/PVA) composite. The MEMS is a mechanical oscillator, composed of a proof mass with multilayer of nanomaterials (GO/PVA) and suspended by four crab-leg springs. The redundant approach realized concerns the use of different readout strategies in order to estimate the same measurand RH. This is an intriguing solution to realize a robust measurement system with multiple outputs, by using the GO/PVA as functional material. In the presence of RH variation, GO/PVA (1) changes its mass, and as consequence, a variation of the natural frequency of the integrated oscillator can be observed; and (2) varies its conductivity, which can be measured by using two integrated electrodes. The sensor was designed, analyzed and modeled; experimental results are reported here to demonstrate the effectiveness of our implementation.
Background: Youth involved in the legal system have disproportionately higher rates of problematic substance use than non-involved youth. Identifying and connecting legal-involved youth to substance use intervention is critical and relies on the connection between legal and behavioral health agencies, which may be facilitated by learning health systems (LHS). We analyzed the impact of an LHS intervention on youth legal and behavioral health personnel ratings of their cross-system collaboration.
Background: The COVID-19 pandemic exposed critical gaps in health system preparedness. This study, guided by a critical ecological model, examines the experiences of primary health and community services in Aotearoa New Zealand during the pandemic, focusing on their response to older people and their unpaid caregivers. The study aims to identify effective strategies for health system resilience.
Introduction: While people with diabetes (PWD)'s experiences with their insulin delivery systems (IDS) are frequently reported in clinical trials, few real-world data exist on the subject. This study aimed to assess the real-world experience and satisfaction with IDS in PWD.
Methods: This cross-sectional survey of PWD treated with tubed or tubeless insulin pumps, hybrid closed loop (HCL) systems, or multiple daily injections (MDI) for at least 3 months ran from 4 to 16 May 2023.

A Gram-staining-positive, aerobic bacterium, designated strain JJ-181, was isolated from the root surface of soybean. Based on the 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities, strain JJ-181 was grouped into the genus Cohnella, most closely related to Cohnella hashimotonis F6_2S_P_1 (98.85%) and C.
A Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, non-spore-forming, non-motile, coccus-shaped, and red-pigmented bacterial strain designated as CJ14 was isolated from lettuce cultivation soil in Yong-In, South Korea. Strain CJ14 grew optimally on Luria-Bertani agar at 37 ℃ and pH 7.0 in the absence of NaCl.
