Transnational social workers continue to play a crucial role in resolving shortages within social services in England. This paper presents findings from a mixed-method study exploring the experiences of transnational social workers migrating between England and Canada and focusing on the imp...

Background: Quality indicators in primary care remain predominantly disease-specific and professionally defined, with limited incorporation of what matters most to people living with multiple long-term conditions (MLTCs) and their caregivers. Existing frameworks and quality standards provide important con...

Background: The growing prevalence of multiple long-term conditions (MLTC) poses a public health challenge. Existing quality of care (QoC) indicators are poorly suited to the needs of MLTC populations with limited clarity on how quality should be measured. This scoping review aim...

This article offers a sociological analysis of the global Rights of Nature movement, positioning dignity, repair, and socio-ecological justice at its heart. While Rights of Nature has gained traction across environmental law, Indigenous politics, and ecological science, Sociology has largely over...

Policy Context: The UK Government’s AI Opportunities Action Plan aims to accelerate AI adoption across public services to improve productivity and service delivery.

Using the tools of premodern critical race studies and whiteness studies, this article brings to critical visibility the Black women Shakespeare's Merchant of Venice evokes in passing, only to leave them on the margins of the text. Unseen and unheard, those women's alleged ...

Safety stock (SS), encompassing reorder point (RP) and maximum stock (MS), is designed to minimize inventory cost while maintaining maintenance safety for manufacturing enterprises. In recent years, advanced computational techniques have been applied to forecast spare parts demand (SPD), enabling ...

This article investigates the zonotopic filtering problem for cloud-based vehicle tracking systems under joint privacy and communication bandwidth constraints. Cloud-side tracking platforms improve vehicle state estimation accuracy by fusing multisource measurements collected from roadside nodes. However, during...

In this article, the problem of distributed fusion filtering (DFF) has been studied for discrete-time, time-varying systems affected by sensor saturations, packet losses, and stochastic gain perturbations. The transmission process between sensors and remote filters is carried out via relay channe...
