The article describes an innovative post-weld surface finishing method, which is characterized by moving a specialized cutting tool along a butt weld. The aforementioned method is unique for the machining allowance, which is treated as the weld bead height and is removed in one step with one pass of the cutting tool. The tool is equipped on one side with linearly arranged tooth-shaped cutting elements, with the adjacent teeth height changing and increasing according to the direction of the feed. The non-standard geometry of the cutting tool enables the finishing of a heterogeneous post-weld surface with increased hardness. The results of studying the 2D profile parameters and the 3D stereometric characteristics of the surface roughness using the optical method are presented in the article. Test samples were made of S235JR steel and butt welded with the MMA, MIG, and TIG methods. Subsequently, the welding bead was ground and finished in accordance with the innovative method to flush the bead and the base metal's surface. Additionally, residual stress analyses were performed using the X-ray diffraction method in the surface layers of the test samples. Based on the conducted research, the influence of the innovative finishing method on the surface quality is described.

Background: Individuals with hearing impairments may face hindrances in health care assistance, which may significantly impact the prognosis and the incidence of complications and iatrogenic events. Therefore, the development of automatic communication systems to assist the interaction between this population and health care workers is paramount.
Objective: This study aims to systematically review the evidence on communication systems using human-computer interaction techniques developed for deaf people who communicate through sign language that are already in use or proposed for use in health care contexts and have been tested with human users or videos of human users.

: Ageing is associated with several cognitive, physical, and emotional changes, including a decrease in sleep quality and mental health issues. This study studies NESA (Spanish acronym for Neuromodulación Superficial Aplicada) non-invasive neuromodulation using microcurrents as something that may provide a potential improvement in the quality of sleep and general health of older adults and residents in a healthcare institution. : This observational study recruited 24 people who were residents at a long-term care facility.

Rapid charge recombination, limited light response, and slow surface reactions were observed in the photocatalysts, thereby limiting their future-oriented applications in photocatalytic hydrogen production through water splitting. Constructing a multi-channel charge separation photocatalysis system could solve those questions. In this study, Pd-TiO-CuO composites were successfully accomplished via a facile chemical reduction method.

Background: Children presenting to the pediatric emergency department (PED) with neurologic dysfunction require prompt evaluation. Many PEDs successfully implement stroke alerts. However, most pediatric patients presenting with neurologic dysfunction have a non-stroke diagnosis better evaluated using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
