The determinants of health are those factors that have the potential to affect health, either positively or negatively, and include a range of personal, social, economic, and environmental factors. In the practice of health impact assessment (HIA), the stage at which the determinants of health are considered for inclusion is during the scoping step. The scoping step is intended to identify how ...

The MDO process of products can be supported by automation of analysis and optimisation steps. A Design and Engineering Engine (DEE) is a useful concept to structure this automation. To power the automatic analysis an agent based framework has been developed to support human and agent teams. The agent-based framework seeks to integrate the human and computer engineer into a hybrid design and bu...

The purpose of this study is to investigate domestic and international research trends in studies of medical students' characteristics by using the scoping review methods. This study adopted the scoping review to assess papers on the characteristics of medical students. The procedure of research was carried out according to the five steps of the scoping review. The full texts of 100 papers are ...

Background The need to evaluate the effectiveness of SPs in improving clinical competence has attracted a heightened interest across the healthcare professions, with some prevailing gaps in their evidence. Using a scoping review approach, this study aims to provide an overview on the effectiveness of SPs in facilitating the development of clinical competence for healthcare students. Methods T...

INTRODUCTION An increasing number of people are living longer with multiple health and social care needs, and may rely heavily on health system resources. When dealing with multiple conditions, patients, caregivers and healthcare providers (HCPs) often experience high treatment burden due to unclear care trajectories, a myriad of treatment decisions and few guidelines on how to manage care need...

| IP multicasting allows a source to deene a mul-ticast group address and receivers can dynamically join and leave this group. Currently the propagation of multicast packets is controlled by two scoping methods: TTL scop-ing and administrative scoping. Both of these approaches require the source to control the scope of the multicast. Receiver-based scoping allows a receiver to place conditions ...
