文摘Objectives This systematic review aimed to identify effective and cost-effective digital health interventions to improve self-management behaviors,blood pressure control,and cardiovascular risk reduction.Methods A search for randomized and non-randomized control trials of digital health interventions among patients with uncontrolled hypertension was conducted from the databases of Embase,PubMed,Scopus,CINAHL,Web of Science,PsycINFO,Thai Journal Online(ThaiJO),the Faculty of Nursing Mahidol University(FON-MU)Nursing Research Database,and gray literature.After conducting the literature screening,the authors completed data extraction,and the risk of bias was assessed using the Joanna Briggs Institute randomized controlled trial checklist and the Joanna Briggs Institute critical appraisal checklist for quasi-experimental studies.Results The study included 22 articles,comprising 30 to 4,118 patients with uncontrolled hypertension.This review classified and summarized the components of digital health interventions and their effects on hypertensive outcomes.It was found that the key elements of digital health interventions include health education,reminders,self-monitoring,feedback and consultation,and instrumental support.Moreover,approximately 81.81%(n=18)of the digital health interventions involved healthcare providers participating in feedback and consultation.Additionally,digital health interventions effectively improve hypertensive outcomes such as self-management behaviors,blood pressure control,and cardiovascular risk reduction,providing cost-effectiveness.Conclusion Based on the available literature,digital health interventions have been shown to effectively enhance behavioral,clinical,and economic outcomes for individuals with uncontrolled hypertension.Moreover,the combination of digital health interventions and healthcare providers’interventions can potentially help patients with uncontrolled hypertension improve adherence to self-management when compared to stand-alone digital health interventions.Digital health interventions to support self-management interventions should be developed for patients by healthcare providers.
文摘Geared-rotor systems are critical components in mechanical applications,and their performance can be severely affected by faults,such as profile errors,wear,pitting,spalling,flaking,and cracks.Profile errors in gear teeth are inevitable in manufacturing and subsequently accumulate during operations.This work aims to predict the status of gear profile deviations based on gear dynamics response using the digital model of an experimental rig setup.The digital model comprises detailed CAD models and has been validated against the expected physical behavior using commercial finite element analysis software.The different profile deviations are then modeled using gear charts,and the dynamic response is captured through simulations.The various features are then obtained by signal processing,and various ML models are then evaluated to predict the fault/no-fault condition for the gear.The best performance is achieved by an artificial neural network with a prediction accuracy of 97.5%,which concludes a strong influence on the dynamics of the gear rotor system due to profile deviations.
文摘Digital Twin (DT) technology is revolutionizing the railway sector by providing a virtual replica of physical systems, enabling real-time monitoring, predictive maintenance, and enhanced decision-making. This systematic literature review examines the status, enabling technologies, case studies, and frameworks for DT applications in railway systems with 91 selected papers from Scopus, Web of Science, IEEE, and the Snowballing Technique. The review focuses on four primary subsystems: tracks, civil structures, vehicles, and overhead contact line structures. Key findings reveal that DT has successfully optimized maintenance strategies, improved operational efficiency, and enhanced system safety. Internet of Things (IoT) devices, Artificial Intelligence (AI), machine learning, and cloud computing are critical in implementing DT models. However, challenges like data integration, high implementation costs, and cybersecurity risks remain, necessitating the discussed implications. Future research should focus on improving data interoperability, reducing costs through scalable cloud-based solutions, and addressing cybersecurity vulnerabilities. DT technology has the potential to revolutionize railway infrastructure management, ensuring greater efficiency, safety, and sustainability.
文摘Enterprise Resource Planning(ERP)systems play a pivotal role in modern organizations by integrating business processes,enhancing operational efficiency,and supporting decision-making.Evaluating the success of ERP implementations remains a critical challenge for both researchers and practitioners.The DeLone&McLean(D&M)Information Systems(IS)Success Model has been widely adopted as a theoretical framework to assess ERP success,yet its application in dynamic and evolving technological landscapes requires further examination.This systematic review synthesizes empirical studies from 2017 to 2024 that apply the D&M Model to evaluate ERP system success.The study aims to:(1)identify key trends in the application of the D&M Model across different organizational and technological contexts,(2)analyze the most influential success factors-system quality,information quality,service quality,user satisfaction,use,and net benefits-and their interrelationships,and(3)highlight emerging challenges and opportunities for refining the model in ERP research.Findings reveal that while the D&M Model provides a robust foundation for assessing ERP success,contextual factors such as organizational climate,leadership support,and mandatory vs.voluntary usage significantly influence outcomes.Additionally,advancements in digital transformation,AI,and cloud-based ERP systems introduce new dimensions that the traditional model may not fully capture.The review also identifies gaps in longitudinal studies and cross-cultural validations of the D&M Model in ERP settings.Based on the analysis,this paper proposes an enhanced framework that integrates dynamic moderators and post-implementation metrics to better align the D&M Model with contemporary ERP environments.The study contributes to IS literature by offering a comprehensive evaluation of the D&M Model’s applicability and limitations in ERP research,while providing actionable insights for organizations seeking to optimize ERP success.

文摘AIM:To compare the accuracy of manual marking versus an image-guided system for toric implantable collamer lens(TICL)implantation and evaluate the short-term postoperative rotational stability of TICL and corneal surgically induced astigmatism vector(SIA).METHODS:Retrospective analysis was conducted on eyes with TICL alignment achieved through manual marking(n=75)or VERION image-guided system-assisted marking(n=83).Each group was further classified into horizontal and vertical subgroups based on implant orientation.Additionally,patients were categorized into superior and temporal incision subgroups according to the position of main corneal incision.The misalignment and rotational stability of TICL were analyzed using slit-lamp anterior segment photography.Surgical predictability,efficacy,safety,and corneal SIA were also evaluated.RESULTS:In general,the TICL implantation with manual and digital image-guided systems all achieved robust predictability,efficacy,and safety.The misalignment of TICL was comparable between the manual and VERION groups(0.16°±3.97°vs 0.52°±5.59°,P=0.633),while a significant difference was observed in the absolute misalignment of TICL between the two groups(3.02°±2.55°vs 4.28°±3.61°,P=0.043).There were no significant differences in the distribution of TICL misalignment between the manual and VERION groups or between horizontal and vertical implant orientation groups(P>0.05).Furthermore,different orientations of TICL placement did not show statistically significant differences in rotational stability(P=0.46).Statistically significant differences were found in anterior corneal SIA between the manual and VERION groups(0.46±0.27 vs 0.33±0.21 D,P=0.001),especially for superior incision position(0.60±0.27 vs 0.35±0.23 D,P<0.0001).The anterior SIA exhibited a significant difference between superior and temporal incisions in the manual group(0.60±0.27 vs 0.35±0.20 D,P<0.0001).CONCLUSION:Compared with the conventional manual marking method,this study indicates that the digital image-guided system with VERION is safe and effective in TICL implantation.The digital system offers the advantage of minimizing corneal SIA compared to the manual method.

文摘Metaverse technologies are increasingly promoted as game-changers in transport planning,connectedautonomous mobility,and immersive traveler services.However,the field lacks a systematic review of what has been achieved,where critical technical gaps remain,and where future deployments should be integrated.Using a transparent protocol-driven screening process,we reviewed 1589 records and retained 101 peer-reviewed journal and conference articles(2021–2025)that explicitly frame their contributions within a transport-oriented metaverse.Our reviewreveals a predominantly exploratory evidence base.Among the 101 studies reviewed,17(16.8%)apply fuzzymulticriteria decision-making,36(35.6%)feature digital-twin visualizations or simulation-based testbeds,9(8.9%)present hardware-in-the-loop or field pilots,and only 4(4.0%)report performance metrics such as latency,throughput,or safety under realistic network conditions.Over time,the literature evolves fromearly conceptual sketches(2021–2022)through simulation-centered frameworks(2023)to nascent engineering prototypes(2024–2025).To clarify persistent gaps,we synthesize findings into four foundational layers—geometry and rendering,distributed synchronization,cryptographic integrity,and human factors—enumerating essential algorithms(homogeneous 4×4 transforms,Lamport clocks,Raft consensus,Merkle proofs,sweep-and-prune collision culling,Q-learning,and real-time ergonomic feedback loops).A worked bus-fleet prototype illustrates how blockchain-based ticketing,reinforcement learning-optimized traffic signals,and extended reality dispatch can be integrated into a live digital twin.This prototype is supported by a threephase rollout strategy.Advancing the transport metaverse from blueprint to operation requires open data schemas,reproducible edge–cloud performance benchmarks,cross-disciplinary cyber-physical threat models,and city-scale sandboxes that apply their mathematical foundations in real-world settings.
