BackgroundIn patients undergoing orthopaedic trauma surgery, acute kidney injury (AKI) can develop post-operatively and is a major cause of increased mortality and hospital stay time.Development of AKI is associated with three main processes: inflammation, ischaemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) and hypoperfusion.In this study, we investigated whether r
To blockchain or not to blockchain, these are the questions: A structured analysis of blockchain decision schemes
Blockchain technology has garnered significant attention in recent years, prompting researchers, entrepreneurs, and businesses to seek viable ways to validate the application of blockchain within their specific use cases.Blockchain decision schemes (BDSs) can assist in this decision-making process, offering a potentially more cost-effective alterna
Using geolocator tracking data and ringing archives to validate citizen-science based seasonal predictions of bird distribution in a data-poor region
Unstructured citizen-science data are increasingly used for analysing the abundance and distribution of species.Here we test the usefulness of such data to predict the seasonal distribution of migratory songbirds, and to analyse patterns of migratory connectivity.We used bird occurrence data from eBird, one of the largest global citizen science dat
