Benin, situated at the transition zone between the Guinean and Sudanian climatic regimes, has experienced marked precipitation and thermal variability over recent decades. This study presents a comparative analysis of climate instability in Benin during 2024 and 2025, utilizing data from six national synoptic stations operated by Météo-Bénin: Cotonou, Bohicon, Savè, Parakou, Natitingou, and Kandi.
This study investigates the potential for the rehabilitation of prisoners within the Greek correctional system, based on the views of practising professionals (police officers and youth probation officers) and social science students. Using a mixed-methods approach (quantitative research via questionnaires and qualitative research via semi-structured interviews), the study reveals strong scepticism regarding the effectiveness of prison as a means of rehabilitation.
Background: Neurological disorders represent a significant global health burden, often leading to long-term disability and increased healthcare costs. Neurological physiotherapy plays a vital role in improving functional outcomes, but it is resource-intensive, necessitating evaluation of both clinical and economic effectiveness. Objective: To review and synthesize existing evidence on the role of economic evaluation in neurological physiotherapy and its implications for clinical practice and healthcare decision-making.
Objective: To determine prevalence of burnout among junior dental professionals and the factors contributing to it in a Dental teaching hospital in Eastern India. Material and Methods: A structured self-administered questionnaire was used to conduct a cross-sectional study among 80 dental interns and house staffs. Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) scale was used to assess the degree of burnout present. Data collected was analyzed using Chi-square test.
The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, adopted by all United Nations Member States in 2015, provides a shared blueprint for peace and prosperity for people and the planet, now and into the future. Health and wellness, gender equality, clean water, and a host of other issues have remained top priorities for global development. However, “Resource Estimation & Planning,” which, in turn, is dominated by the “Human Population Trends” of various regions on the globe, plays a crucial role in the planning, execution, and achievement of these goals.
The deocata pipefish, Microphis deocata (Hamilton, 1822), is an obligate freshwater syngnathid endemic to the sub-Himalayan River systems of South Asia. M. deocata is known for its extreme morphological innovations, sexual dichromatism, sex-role reversal, and specialized paternal care. Currently, this species is reported to face severe threats from micro-habitat degradation and intense targeting by the indigenous ornamental aquarium trade. This communication provides a concise synthesis of M.
Distal humerus fractures are complex intra-articular injuries commonly managed with Open Reduction and Internal Fixation. Post-operative elbow stiffness is a frequent complication, particularly when immobilisation is prolonged or rehabilitation is delayed. Recovery may be further complicated in individuals with pre-existing neurological conditions such as cerebral palsy and intellectual disability.
A novel hybrid single crystal of bis[4-(2-aminoethyl) morpholine] cadmium diacetate tetrahydrate (AEMCA) with a bar-like transparent morphology was grown by the slow evaporation solution growth technique. The unit-cell parameters of AEMCA were determined as a = 8.8639(4) Å, b = 9.1035(5) Å, c = 9.2106(5) Å, α = 66.004(2)°, β = 73.603(2)°, γ = 70.161(2)°, and V = 629.63(6) ų by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. FTIR analysis confirmed the presence of characteristic functional groups through molecular vibrations.
CuMn2O4 electrode materials with a unique hexagonal morphology for supercapacitor applications were synthesized via the co-precipitation technique along with dual hydroxide treatment. Various characterization techniques, such as powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Ultraviolet-Visible Spectroscopy (UV-vis), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), and Energy-dispersive X-ray analysis (EDS), were employed to assess the synthesized material.
In the present work, MgMn2O4 energy storage nanomaterials were prepared by the co-precipitation technique and reported. MgMn2O4 was comprehensively characterized using a variety of analytical techniques to obtain a better understanding of its physicochemical properties.
