Understanding the justifications for food policies through political theory: a method for public policy analysis by Thomas, O

“…While the proportion of deaths and illnesses due to NCDs has increased globally, the causal burden now increasingly falls on diet. In response to this, states have gradually introduced policies to curb sugar consumption, ranging from restrictive interventions like bans, to high-agency interventions like awareness campaigns. …”

EEG-based attention recognition using machine learning by Sun, Haoqi

“…Stage II is low vigilance, which is further divided into Stage II.1: drowsiness and difficulty in attention allocation; and Stage II.2: distraction instead of falling asleep. A possible explanation for stage II.2 is that, the environment contains not enough external stimuli to keep the open eye and situation-aware state, so that the brain performs vigilance regulation to seek external stimuli, and hence leading to distraction. …”

Global incidence, prevalence, years lived with disability (YLDs), disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs), and healthy life expectancy (HALE) for 371 diseases and injuries in 204 co... by Ferrari, AJ, Santomauro, DF, Aali, A, Lacey, BWH, Rodriguez, JAB

“…For three decades, the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD) has filled that need. A global network of collaborators contributed to the production of GBD 2021 by providing, reviewing, and analysing all available data. …”

Investigations into femtosecond laser hybrid manufacturing for 3D power sources by Tham, Nicholas Cheng Yang

“…LPG MSCs demonstrate high capacitive performance, with 0.428 mF cm-2 at scan rates of 10 mV s-1, and even an increase in scan rates to 10,000 mV s-1 only reduces performance by two-thirds, falling in line with reported PG MSCs. LPG humidity sensors are found to repeatably detect humidity across a range of 4.2% to 7.64% for up to three cycles, with a maximum deviation of σ = 0.64. …”
