In this article, the stability analysis for generalized neural networks (GNNs) with a time-varying delay is investigated. About the delay, the differential has only an upper boundary or cannot be obtained. For the both two types of delayed GNNs, up to now, the second-order integral inequalities have been the highest-order integral inequalities utilized to derive the stability conditions. To establish the stability conditions on the basis of the high-order integral inequalities, two challenging issues are required to be resolved. One is the formulation of the Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional (LKF), the other is the high-degree polynomial negative conditions (NCs). By transforming the integrals in N-order generalized free-matrix-based integral inequalities (GFIIs) into the multiple integrals, the hierarchical LKFs are constructed by adopting these multiple integrals. Then, the novel modified matrix polynomial NCs are presented for the 2N-1 degree delay polynomials in the LKF differentials. Thus, the hierarchical linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) are set up and the nonlinear problems caused by the GFIIs are solved at the same time. Eventually, the superiority of the provided hierarchical stability criteria is demonstrated by several numeric examples.

Background: Considering how gendered experiences play a role in the lives of patients with heart failure (HF) is critical in order to understand their experiences, optimise clinical care and reduce health inequalities.
Objectives: The aim of our study was to review how gender is being studied in qualitative research in HF, specifically to (1) analyse how gender is conceptualised and applied in qualitative HF research; and (2) identify methodological opportunities to better understand the gendered experiences of patients with HF.
Eligibility Criteria: We conducted a systematic search of literature, including qualitive or mixed-methods articles focussing on patients' perspectives in HF and using gender as a primary analytical factor, excluding articles published before 2000.

Economic and labour policies have a considerable influence on health and well-being through direct financial impacts, and by shaping social and physical environments. Strong economies are important for public health investment and employment, yet the rapid rise of generative artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to reshape economies, presenting challenges beyond mere temporary market disruption. Generative AI can perform non-routine cognitive tasks, previously unattainable though traditional automation, creating new efficiencies.

Using the generalized Saigo fractional integral operator, the authors of this study prove several novel fractional integral inequalities of the Grüss type. By fixing the values of functions, specific situations derived from previously established findings are shown. The ultimate purpose of this work is to investigate the Grüss-type integral inequalities with the Saigo -integral operator, a more generalized integral operator.

Background: This research investigated the dynamics of fee-free higher education in South Africa, analysing the interplay of socioeconomic, political, and institutional factors to elucidate the complexities surrounding its implementation and impact. Using a causal loop diagram approach (CLD), the study aims to identify key factors to effective implementation, how they interact to shape the outcome of the policy, and actionable strategies to address the challenges hindering the policy sustainability.
Method: A participatory approach was used to developing the CLD, integrating insights from an extensive literature review and stakeholder opinion.

Background: This study protocol introduces the Integrative Health Equity and Anti-Racism Tool (IHEART), an innovative instrument designed to infuse equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) into Integrative Health (IH) education. Recognizing the gaps in current IH training that fail to address social and systemic inequities adequately, the IHEART is intended to respond to the growing need for inclusivity in IH practices and educational materials. The tool is mainly focused on addressing issues such as accessibility of complementary and integrative health (CIH) therapies, cultural misappropriation, anti-racism, gender diversity, disability justice, trauma-informed care, weight inclusivity, and planetary health, which are currently inconsistently covered in IH training.
