Increasing local energy access in developing countries, particularly in off-grid regions where mini-grids are often overloaded, remains a critically underexplored area in energy transition. These regions often face significant technical and economic challenges, such as low generation capacity, high energy costs, limited energy access, and heavy reliance on diesel fuels. This study explores capacity expansion by integrating small-scale geothermal energy into such a mini-grid system to enhance the local energy supply [...]

Mediterranean regions like West Mani, Greece, face escalating water scarcity exacerbated by climate variability and seasonal tourism peaks, straining the water-energy-food (WEF) nexus. Olive cultivation, central to the region’s economy and culture, generates substantial underutilized biomass residues that increase wildfire risk if left unmanaged. At the same time, water supply increasingly relies on energy-intensive desalination and pumping. This study addresses the gap in integrated, place-based WEF nexus applicat [...]

Effective thermal management in polymeric materials still represents a considerable challenge for emerging applications, such as wearable electronics, soft robotics, and sustainable composite systems, wherein flexibility and environmental compatibility are of utmost importance. This research utilizes non-equilibrium molecular dynamics (NEMD) simulations to examine interfacial thermal resistance (ITR) and effective thermal conductivity (keff) in bio-based PBS-ENR-PBS trilayer systems. Two varieties of epoxidized nat [...]

Research shows that trauma therapists often experience secondary trauma, which can lead to secondary traumatic stress, compassion fatigue, and burnout. Trauma-informed care training has shown promise in enhancing practitioners' professional quality of life, particularly for those regularly exposed to trauma. To our knowledge, no prior studies have examined the training outcomes of NeuroAffective Relational Model (NARM) therapists on professional quality-of-life indicators. This cross-sectional observational study a [...]

A significant social stigma is associated with loneliness. The prevalence of social isolation, in the dawn of the 21st century points to the growing isolation in America. Lonely people who commonly display negative self-perceptions, show great difficulty to establish social ties, and that may be related to their personal inadequacies, or socially undesirable attributes. Lonely people suffer from a low social perception, painting them as less psychologically adjusted, and not very capable in relating to others. That [...]

Though the role of clinical histocompatibility testing is fundamental to successful transplant, systematic risk assessment and mitigation strategies remain underutilised in this domain. This review addresses risk identification, analysis, and control measures across the pre-analytical, analytical, and post-analytical phases of clinical histocompatibility testing, in line with international standards such as ISO 15189:2022. A structured, risk-based quality management system (QMS) is imperative for ensuring accurate [...]
