REAL-WORLD DATA ANALYSIS ON EFFECTIVENESS OF INTEGRATIVE THERAPIES: A PRACTICAL GUIDE TO STUDY DESIGN AND DATA ANALYSIS USING HEALTHCARE DATABASES

Real-world data analysis on effectiveness of integrative therapies: A practical guide to study design and data analysis using healthcare databases

Real world data (RWD) is increasingly used to investigate health outcomes and treatment efficacy in the field of integrative medicine.Due to the fact that the majority of RWDs are not intended for research, their secondary use in research necessitates complex study designs to account for bias and confounding.To conduct a robust analysis of RWD in i

Identifying Where REDD+ Financially Out-Competes Oil Palm in Floodplain Landscapes Using a Fine-Scale Approach.

Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and forest Degradation (REDD+) aims to avoid forest conversion to alternative land-uses through financial incentives.Oil-palm has high opportunity costs, which according to current literature questions the financial competitiveness of REDD+ in tropical lowlands.To understand this more, we undertook regional fin

Transit times from rainfall to baseflow in headwater catchments estimated using tritium: the Ovens River, Australia

Headwater streams contribute a significant proportion of the total flow to many river systems, especially during summer low-flow periods.However, despite their importance, the time taken for water to travel through headwater catchments and into the streams (the transit time) is poorly understood.Here, 3H activities of stream water are used to defin

Physical Properties Investigations of Ternary-Layered Carbides M2PbC (M = Ti, Zr and Hf): First-Principles Calculations

We investigated structure Dog Supplies optimization, mechanical stability, electronic and bonding properties of the nanolaminate compounds Ti2PbC, Zr2PbC, and Hf2PbC using the first-principles calculations.These structures display nanolaminated edifices where MC layers are interleaved with Pb.The calculation of formation energies, elastic moduli an
