An Exploration of the Experiences of Group Compassion Focused Therapy for Hospital Outpatients with Long-Term Mental Health Difficultiesby
Abstract
There is now good evidence for the efficacy of Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT) for a variety of mental health difficulties. To deepen understanding of the processes underpinning CFT’s effectiveness, this service evaluation explored the experiences and reflections of individuals with long-term mental health difficulties who had previously received therapy and attended an 11-week CFT group. Ten clients were invited to the group; one withdrew before the group started because of work and personal commitments and anoth [...] 1574 2511 |
Evaluation of the Transitional Pain Service Specialized Iyengar-Informed Yoga Program for Chronic Post-Surgical Pain: A Pilot Randomized Controlled Trialby
Abstract
The objective of this randomized controlled trial (RCT) was to evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of a specialized Iyengar-informed yoga intervention for individuals who experience chronic post-surgical pain (CPSP). This prospective, multi-wave pilot RCT was pre-registered at clinicaltrials.gov (NCT03460028) and designed in accordance with the 2010 CONSORT statement. Participants (N = 21) with CPSP were out-patients or community members affiliated with a Toronto hospital. Participants were randomized to an 8-wee [...] 659 2506 |

Deep Learning Approaches for Predicting Strain Energy in Heterogeneous MaterialsAbstract
This paper investigates data-driven strain energy prediction for heterogeneous elastic materials using the Mechanical MNIST benchmark dataset (60,000 28 × 28 stiffness maps by precomputed finite-element results). The results by classical regression models (linear regression, random forest, and gradient boosting) using hand-crafted features were compared with the results by the deep learning models (Convolutional neural network (CNN) and residual network (ResNet)) trained end-to-end on images. In held-out tests, CNN [...] 647 2449 |

The Effect of Adding Mealworm, Probiotics, and Mealworm Plus Probiotics on IL-8 Gene Expression in Liver and Spleen Tissues of Broiler Chickensby
Abstract
Interleukin-8 (IL-8), a pro-inflammatory cytokine, plays a critical role in immune modulation in poultry and has potential applications in veterinary and human medicine. This study investigated the effects of dietary supplementation with mealworm (Tenebrio molitor), probiotics, or their combination on IL-8 gene expression in the livers and spleens of broiler chickens. A total of 160 one-day-old broiler chickens (Ross 308 strain) were assigned to four treatments (basal diet, basal diet + 0.2 g/kg probiotic, basal di [...] 509 2398 |
Network Topology Similarities Across Cancer Types: Identifying Central Protein Hubs for Drug Discoveryby
Abstract
A molecular-level understanding of cancer is essential for the development of effective therapies. Constructing protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks offers a valuable approach to identifying dysregulated driver genes and potential therapeutic targets. In this study, we modeled cancer PPI networks as metric spaces and applied mathematical and computational algorithms to analyze their structural and functional properties. Our findings reveal that these networks share a conserved architecture across different ca [...] 563 2374 |
Fabrication of CuO-Decorated Fe2O3 Nanoparticles as Efficient and Durable Electrocatalyst for Oxygen Evolution Reactionby
Abstract
The electrochemical water oxidation application of CuO@Fe2O3 materials as potential catalysts is being reported for the first time. A series of CuO@Fe2O3 with different molar ratios of CuO (5, 7, 10, 12, and 15%) was fabricated through precipitation followed by the impregnation method. Structural and electrochemical studies were carried out by using different analytical platforms, including X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Energy dispersive [...] 683 2365 |
