This article explores experiences of transition, instability and coping using a qualitative approach with young offenders within a specialist forensic child and adolescent mental health service (CAMHS). Participants were four young people (aged 14-17 years) on community orders under the supervision of local youth offending teams (YOTs). Semi-structured interviews were conducted and data analyse...

Dynamic Channel Switching System (DCSS) has been proposed as a solution to improve the capacity of Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs) which is compliant with IEEE 802.11 standards. DCSS divides wireless interfaces into data receiving and data sending interfaces. The receiving interfaces stay on specified channels, while the sending interfaces can be switched as necessary. A node sends the data by sw...

Deep convolutional semantic segmentation (DCSS) learning doesn’t converge to an optimal local minimum with random parameters initializations; a pre-trained model on the same domain becomes necessary to achieve convergence.In this work, we propose a joint cooperative end-to-end learning method for DCSS. It addresses many drawbacks with existing deep semantic segmentation learning; the proposed a...

The emergence of point-of-care (POC) diagnostics specifically designed for low-resource settings coupled with the rapid increase in need for routine care of patients with chronic diseases should prompt reconsideration of how health care can be delivered most beneficially and cost-effectively in developing countries. Bolstering support for primary care to provide rapid and appropriate integrated...

Metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) is an untargeted technique for determination of microbial DNA/RNA sequences in a variety sample types from patients with infectious syndromes. mNGS still its early stages broader translation into clinical applications. To further support the development, implementation, optimization and standardization procedures virus diagnostics, European Society ...

background quality of health services is one of the most important factors for delivery of these services. regarding the importance and vital role of quality in the health sector, a concept known as “clinical governance” (cg) has been introduced into the health area which aims to enhance quality of health services. thus, this study aimed to assess private and public hospitals’ readiness to impl...
