Improving the Use of Sensory Approaches in an Acute Inpatient Mental Health Unit Using a Co-Designed Multifaceted Implementation Strategy. [PDF]
Int J Ment Health NursABSTRACT Despite the therapeutic benefits of sensory approaches being well documented, little research has focused on improving their implementation in acute mental health units. The use of implementation frameworks to improve the use of evidence‐based practices has shown promising results in healthcare; however, there is little evidence for their use ...

An Approach to the Computation of the Euler Number by means of the Vertex Chain Code
Computational and Mathematical Methods in Medicine, Volume 2020, Issue 1, 2020., 2020 We present an approach to compute the number of holes in binary images using the Vertex Chain Code (VCC); the VCC was developed for representing and analyzing 2D shapes composed of cells. Using this code, it is possible to relate the outer to inner vertices of any 2D shape and to find interesting properties.
