Background: Children and young people (CYP) with intellectual developmental disabilities (IDD) experience substantial health needs and higher healthcare utilisation compared with the general paediatric population. However, factors affecting the emergency healthcare use among children with IDD ...

Integrated Programme Assessment (IPA) is an approach to curriculum design in which assessment is organised at programme rather than module level, enabling synoptic assessments requiring students to integrate knowledge and skills across a programme rather than within isolated modules. IPA is ...

The aim of this work was to examine the resistance of high-strength steel (HSS) doubly symmetric I-beams according to international codes (BS EN 1993-1-1:2022, ANSI/AISC 360-22 and AS 4100-2020). For this purpose, a database comprising 138 tests conducted between 1969 and 2023 was&...

Steel fibres are widely used to improve the mechanical performance of concrete but are associated with high density, corrosion susceptibility and increased material demand. This study experimentally evaluates the effectiveness of newly developed wavy macro-basalt fibres as an alternative reinforcement...

This research is based on numerical analyses to assess the level of damage by examining the formation and propagation of cracks, block fragmentation, and material degradation before failure. To this end, numerical simulations are carried out using ABAQUS, a software based on the fi...

This study introduces a novel machine learning-based inverse design methodology for predicting the parent cross-sectional and material properties of perforated steel beams with elliptically-based openings. Unlike conventional forward design or optimisation-based methods, the proposed approach frames structural ...

This study presents a data-driven approach to predict the buckling resistance of stainless steel circular hollow section beam–columns by combining finite element analysis and machine learning. Due to the complex behavior of stainless steel and limited design guidelines, a validated finite el...

Cellular steel beam design tightly couples geometry, resistance behavior, and fabrication constraints. Current practice relies on simplified, empirical forward checks and causes trial-and-error iterations when multiple geometric variables and opening configurations are considered. This paper presents an inverse...

The bases of national tax systems should be considered depending on the state of the economic and sociopolitical structure in the conditions of market reforms. Thus, the special place in creating a tax system of market type are the principles of its construction. If under ...
