An Adaptive Finite Resolution Selection Scheme for RIS Assisted NOMA Networks by Shady M. Ibraheem, Mona Shokair, Mohamed E. Nasr, Nancy Alshaer

“…Monte Carlo simulations emphasize the accuracy of the analytical work and investigate that: 1) The proposed GADPS scheme is more flexible than conventional RIS-NOMA scheme; 2) By joint optimization of RIS selection and phase shifting, the proposed GADPS scheme is capable of achieving superior performance over GARPS and conventional RIS-NOMA schemes with a superior diversity gain; 3) The throughput performance of the proposed GADPS scheme outperforms GARPS, conventional RIS-NOMA and other relay-assisted NOMA schemes, whereas full-duplex (FD) relay selection NOMA schemes suffer from throughput floor values; 4) By increasing the number of reflecting elements of RIS, the proposed GADPS scheme achieves the enhanced average sum rate performance over benchmark schemes in all scenarios of relative distance difference between users and the selected RIS.…”

Effects of culturally-appropriate group education for migrants with type 2 diabetes in primary healthcare: pre-test-post-test design by Katarina Hjelm, Emina Hadziabdic

“…The group education was conducted by a multi-professional team, led by a diabetes specialist nurse, in primary healthcare settings. Descriptive and analytical statistics applied in analysing data. Results The findings showed that participation in the diabetes education significantly improved the knowledge levels, led to an initial change and possible short-term improvement in HbA1c (better immediate post-intervention), albeit statistically insignificant, but no change in glycaemic control over time and in self-rated health (SRH). …”
