Although diabetic polyneuropathy (DPN) has a very high prevalence among people with diabetes, gait analysis using cyclograms is very limited, and cyclogram research, in general, is limited to standard measures available in software packages. In this study, cyclograms (movements of the centre of pressure, COP, on and between the plantar surfaces) of diabetics and healthy individuals recorded with a smart insole were compared in terms of geometry and balance index, BI. The latter was calculated as the summed product of standard deviations of cyclogram markers, i.

Cardiovascular diseases are a major cause of mortality and morbidity. Fast detection of life-threatening emergency events and an earlier start of the therapy would save many lives and reduce successive disabilities. Understanding the specific risk factors associated with heart attack and the degree of association is crucial in the clinical diagnosis.

China's wind power generation is rich in resources and mature technology, but has the problems of harsh power generation environment, high operation and maintenance costs due to complex operating conditions, and serious consequences of failures. For this reason, this paper proposes a more efficient defect identification method for wind turbine blades that have the longest downtime due to faults. Firstly, starting from the characteristics that the blade defects are darker than the surrounding and distributed in block or point shape, the blade images taken by UAV cruise are processed by grey scaling, filtering, histogram equalization and Grab-cut foreground segmentation.

The issue of global climate change is increasingly worrisome, particularly for countries heavily reliant on agriculture. To reduce the negative impact of climate change on agriculture, farmers of Bangladesh started adopting different climate smart agriculture (CSA) practices. The CSA sustainably increases productivity, resilience, and food security, which can contribute to the achievement of a number of sustainable development goals (SDGs).

Background: Grounding on the Resource-Based View (RBV) and organization support theory (OST), this study examines the effect of talent management practice (TMP) on perceived organizational support (POS), organizational performance (OP), and employee performance (EP) within the Jordanian telecom sector, with a specific focus on the mediating effect of POS's between TMP-EP and OP relationship.
Methods: This study uses a cross-sectional method to collect data from 397 personnel at three Jordanian telecom enterprises. The Smart-PLS application assisted with structural equation modeling, which was used to examine the data.
