Global, regional, and national burden of HIV/AIDS, 1990–2021, and forecasts to 2050, for 204 countries and territories: the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021 by Austin, Carter

“…In the same period, PUV increased in central Europe, eastern Europe, and central Asia by 116·1% (8·0–218·2). Our forecasts predict a continued global decline in HIV incidence and mortality, with the number of people living with HIV peaking at 44·4 million (40·7–49·8) by 2039, followed by a gradual decrease. …”

Investigating the utilization of healthcare services to manage respiratory tract infections (RTIs) among Qatari patients attended selected primary healthcare centers in Qatar by Islam, Nazmul

“…We have found no difference in the month-to-month rates of RTI-related GP visits (per 1000 total visits) over the study period (non-significant decreasing trend). However, there was a significant decreasing trend in the monthly rates of antibiotics consumption and an increasing trend in the tests/investigations done but there was no clear increasing or decreasing trend in the monthly rates of other medications use. …”

AC Conductivity of Gamma Irradiated LDPE/ZIF-8 Composite by Marinković, Filip

“…The AC conductivity (admittance) of the samples was studied in the frequency range of 24 Hz − 120 kHz and a temperature range 200–350 K. The composite showed larger admittance components relative to the admittance components of pure LDPE; the conductance of the samples increased almost linearly with increasing irradiation dose. …”

Drained residual shear strength of fine-grained soils and soil-solid interfaces at low to medium effective normal stresses: Analyses and Applications by Rabie, Khaled H.

“…In consideration of increasing the accuracy of assessment and depicting the full-scale field behavior, the interface residual shear strengths measured using the modified ring shear apparatus were compared with those measured by research collaborators for similar interfaces using a macro-scale interface direct shear device with a plan interface shear area of approximately 3.0 m2. …”

Enhancing Fuzzy Rule-Based Anfis Neuronal Fuzzy Architecture Through Integration with Binary Particle Swarm Optimization Technique for Low-Dimensional Data Modeling by Al-Ali, Afnan Samir

“…The subsequent model incorporates Principal Component Analysis (PCA) on the normalized firing strengths first, transforming them into a linearly uncorrelated set of components. These components are then selectively optimized and evaluated using Binary Particle Swarm Optimization (BPSO), ensuring a comprehensive and impactful reduction. …”

Insights into charge carrier dynamics in organo-metal halide perovskites: From neat films to solar cells by Peng, Jiajun

“…This tutorial review aims to offer insights into the scope, advantages, limitations and latest developments of the techniques that have been applied for studying charge carrier dynamics in perovskites. We summarize a comprehensive set of measurements including (1) time-resolved laser spectroscopies (transient absorption, time-resolved photoluminescence, terahertz spectroscopy and microwave conductivity); (2) electrical transient techniques (charge extraction by linearly increasing voltage and time-of-flight); and (3) steady-state methods (field-effect transistor, Hall effect and space charge limited current). …”
