Purpose: To compare the listening effort using objective test (dual-task paradigm), parents report using abbreviated version of the Speech, Spatial and Quality questionnaire (SSQ-P10) and Teachers' Evaluation of Aural/Oral Performance of Children and Ease of Listening (TEACH), working memory and attention span between children using cochlear implants (CI) and age-matched peers with normal hearing sensitivity, and assess the relationship between listening effort and real-life benefit in children using CI.
Method: Group I included 25 children with normal hearing sensitivity. Group II included 25 children with bimodal cochlear implantation with bilateral severe to profound hearing loss.

According to the Global Food Policy Report 2017, nearly 90% of the projected urban population increase by 2050 is going to be concentrated in Africa and Asia. Parallel evidence suggests that poverty and related challenges of food insecurity and undernutrition are also urbanizing. The dynamics underlying urban nutrition is different from rural ones but also arguably represents a more complex scenario.

Wearable, flexible piezoresistive pressure sensors have garnered substantial interest due to their diverse applications in fields such as electronic skin, robotic limbs, and cardiovascular monitoring. Among these applications, arterial full pulse waveform monitoring stands out as a critical area of research. The emergence of piezoresistive pressure sensors as a prominent tool for capturing pulse waveforms has led to extensive investigations.

Introduction: Human factors in surgery relate to the environmental, organisational, and human factors that can impact performance in the operating theatre. This study assesses whether various factors such as music, counting backwards, and attempting to do simultaneous tasks impact surgical time and performance.
Methods: Ten orthopaedic surgical staff were asked to guide a metal loop around a metal maze in a 'don't buzz the wire' game.

Metamaterial design approaches, which integrate structural elements into material systems, enable the control of uncommon behaviours by decoupling local and global properties. Leveraging this conceptual framework, metamaterial adhesives incorporate nonlinear cut architectures into adhesive films to achieve unique combinations of adhesion capacity, release, and spatial tunability by controlling how cracks propagate forward and in reverse directions during separation. Here, metamaterial adhesive designs are explored with triangular cut features while integrating hierarchical and secondary cut patterns among primary nonlinear cuts.
