Animal‐Assisted Activities With Therapy Dogs in Pediatric Oncology: A Multicenter Survey of the Current Status, Implementation, and Challenges in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Animal‐assisted activities (AAAs) with therapy dogs have shown positive effects on patient well‐being and quality of life in various areas of medicine, including pediatric oncology. However, research on this topic is limited. The aim of this study is to present the current status of AAA in pediatric oncology in Germany, Austria, and

Component-Based Mixed-Criticality Real-Time Scheduling on a Single Processor System

IEEE Access
This paper focuses on a two-level hierarchical system with dual-criticality components scheduled on a single processor. To address the independent scheduling of mixed-criticality (MC) components using fixed-priority (FP) servers, we introduce the mixed ...

Mixed-Criticality Scheduling to Minimize Makespan.

, 2016
In the mixed-criticality job model, each job is characterized by two execution time parameters, representing a smaller (less conservative) estimate and a larger (more conservative) estimate on its actual, unknown, execution time. Each job is further classified as being either less critical or more critical.

On Hierarchical Composite Endpoints in Pediatric Cancer Supportive Care: Illustrative Examples From Two Multi‐Center Phase‐III Randomized Clinical Trials

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Pediatric supportive care clinical trials often involve multiple clinically important outcomes, complicating trial interpretation. Hierarchical composite endpoints (HCEs) provide a framework to integrate key outcomes according to clinical importance.

Mastering MPSoCs for Mixed-critical Applications

IPSJ Transactions on System LSI Design Methodology, 2011
Multi-Processor Systems-on-Chips (MPSoCs) emerge as the predominant platform in embedded real-time applications. A large variety of ubiquitous services should be implemented by embedded systems in a cost- and power-efficient way, yet providing a maximum degree of performance, usability and dependability.

Critical Appraisal of Mixed Methods Studies [PDF]

Journal of Mixed Methods Research, 2013
In several subdomains of the social, behavioral, health, and human sciences, research questions are increasingly answered through mixed methods studies, combining qualitative and quantitative evidence and research elements. Accordingly, the importance of including those primary mixed methods research articles in systematic reviews grows.

Determining Parental Factors for Clinical Trial Attrition in Pediatric Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background/Objectives Despite high enrollment rates on Children's Oncology Group (COG) protocols, attrition after initial consent is challenging, introducing bias and prolonging trial completion. While adult oncology literature has identified predictors of withdrawal, little is known about caregiver decision‐making for child participation in ...

Change in Mental Health and Resilience in Childhood Cancer Survivors After Attending a Person‐Centred State‐of‐the‐Art Late Effects Clinic—on Behalf of the PanCareFollowUp Consortium

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Person‐centred follow‐up care based on evidence‐based clinical practice guidelines and providing individualised information should help to inform and reassure survivors about their medical and psychosocial situation and provide treatment and support where needed.

Scalable Mixed-Criticality Safety Concepts for a Stationary Battery Management System (BMS) With Integrated Machine Learning (ML)

IEEE Access
Battery management systems (BMSs) play a crucial role in controlling and supervising the safe operation of lithium-ion batteries in stationary energy storage systems. The integration of mixed-criticality functions (combining safety functions of different
