<p> The rigors of labor and childbirth are incredibly demanding on the mother's body physically, emotionally, and psychology. Most new mothers deliver in a hospital setting where they are discharged after approximately two days. However, the mother's health and well-being does not improve that drastically within those two days of post-delivery recovery. Common struggles that new mothers face include postpartum depression, intimate partner violence, mood and body changes, as well as nutrition and sleep deprivation. Therefore, it is not only important to be attentive to the newborn but to the mo

Abstract:

<p> The Filipino culture recognizes the elderly as part of its human resources. As a culture that considers family as a basic unit of society, the elderly play a central role. When elderly Filipinos, those that are 65 years of age and older, migrate to the United States, they expect that their families are able to take care of them. However, work demands and living situations among family members prevent them from receiving proper care.</p><p> With the increasing population of elderly Filipinos in Palm Springs, demand for a new Residential Care Facility for the Elderly (RCFE) is important

The construction industry has been hesitant for a long time to apply new technologies.

An AI-based decision-support system that takes the risks and the market into account when acquiring land can learn from each project and bring this knowledge into future projects.

Abstract:

Advances in medical technology have altered the need for certain types of surgery to be performed in traditional inpatient hospital settings. Less invasive surgical procedures allow a growing number of medical treatments to take place on an outpatient basis. Hospitals face growing competition from ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs). The competitive threats posed by ASCs are important, given that inpatient surgery has been the cornerstone of hospital services for over a century. Additional research is needed to understand how surgical volume shifts between and within acute care general hospitals

Ultimately, the model invites, and supports, a more sensitised and integrated approach to the design and management of Residential Aged Care Facilities.
