BARRIERS AND FACILITATORS FOR ENGAGING UNDERREPRESENTED ETHNIC MINORITY POPULATIONS IN HEALTHCARE RESEARCH: AN UMBRELLA REVIEW

Barriers and facilitators for engaging underrepresented ethnic minority populations in healthcare research: an umbrella review

Abstract Background Research highlights that participation of ethnic minority individuals in research is low when compared to white counterparts.This poses challenges for healthcare planning and delivery, as lack of representativeness in research means that findings are generalised across all ethnic groups, and do not provide stakeholders with a fu

Quantifying individual electrode polarization and unraveling the interactive phenomenon in solid oxide fuel cells

In electrochemically active systems, such as fuel cells, electrolyzers, and batteries, researchers often modify the material chemistry or operating variables at one of the electrodes (e.g., the cathode) to investigate its properties.This approach assumes that changes in measured polarization and cell performance result solely from the modifications

Metallic nanoparticles induced antibiotic resistance genes attenuation of leachate culturable microbiota: The combined roles of growth inhibition, ion dissolution and oxidative stress

The dissemination and propagation of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) is an emerging global health concern, and the potential effects of nanomaterials on ARGs fates have drawn much attention recently.In the current study, the effects of metallic nanoparticles on ARGs occurrence of leachate culturable microbiota were investigated by four typical m
