The admission of a neonate requiring mechanical ventilation represents one of the most stressful experiences parents can face in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. In resource-limited settings, these challenges are often intensified by contextual factors including infrastructure limitations and...

This study aims to obtain a lower bound on the eigenvalue of the smallest modulus in a general weighted regular Sturm-Liouville problem with mixed boundary conditions. The problem is expressed as -u′′(x) + q(x)u(x) = λr(x)u(x) over the interval [a,b] with u′(a) = u(b) = 0. In 1988 Mingarelli [31]...

Healthcare systems worldwide are increasingly leveraging data-driven strategies to enhance decision-making, optimize resource allocation, and improve patient outcomes. This research explores the application of machine learning-driven predictive analytics for Cholera outbreaks forecasting and...

Effective agricultural monitoring is essential for ensuring food security and efficient resource management. This study aimed to use Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) from Sentinel 1 and Optical imagery from Sentinel 2 multi spectral instrument (MSI) for mapping and monitoring Maize fields in the...

This study aimed to explore teachers' perceptions, implementation challenges, and the perceived impact of the automatic promotion policy on student engagement and learning outcomes in Namibia's Mukwe Circuit. The Namibian Ministry of Education introduced the automatic promotion policy to address...

Neonatal pain management remains a global challenge, particularly in low- and middle-income countries such as Botswana, due to inadequate resources, training, and evidence-based practice. Despite all neonates experiencing pain, with preterm babies being especially vulnerable, pain assessment and...

Critically ill patients, have challenges reporting pain given their physical state. The complex nature of critical illness and diverse needs of patients may impact on the effectiveness of pain assessment and management in the intensive care units (ICU). Effective pain assessment culminates in...

Background: Adherence to nursing care practices for ventilated patients is crucial for preventing complications, ensuring patient safety, and optimizing recovery outcomes. In the intensive care unit (ICU), maintaining high adherence to these practices is essential for delivering quality care. The...

Background: Sepsis remained to be a critical global health challenge, affecting approximately (49) million people and causing (11) million deaths annually. It was characterized by a deregulated host response to infection, leading to life-threatening organ dysfunction. Timely diagnosis,...

The optical investigation of tungsten diphosphide (WP2), a type-II Weyl semimetal, reveals its exceptional topological and anisotropic electronic properties. Through resistivity and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy measurements, WP2 exhibit high conductivity and anisotropic transport...
