A non-experimental descriptive study was undertaken with the objectives to assess the level of knowledge of the nursing students regarding the recent innovations in health care and to assess the association of level of knowledge of the nursing students regarding the recent innovations in health care with selected demographic variables. Fifty samples were selected by convenient sampling technique from a selected nursing college in Guwahati. A self-structured questionnaire was developed to collect the data. The data obtained were analyzed in terms of frequency and percentage distribution, mean and standard deviation to interpret the level of knowledge and chi-square value. The findings revealed that majority of the students, i.e. 72%, are from B.Sc. Nursing 1 st year; 63% of the students had heard about the recent innovations in health care; 92% of the samples were not been hospitalized in any of the multispecialty hospital; 67% of the samples revealed that their family members were not admitted in any multispecialty hospitals for treatment; 88% had not ever browsed the Internet regarding the recent innovations in health care; 76% of them revealed that their family members have not been using any sort of health-related innovative devices in home settings; and 74% of the sample has moderate level of knowledge regarding the recent innovations in health care. Browsing the Internet regarding the recent innovations in health care is found to be significant with the level of knowledge at 0.05 level of significance.

Public transport for smart cities: Recent innovations and future challenges

Recent police interest in hot spots policing is part of a larger set of changes and innovations that have occurred in policing over the last three decades. Some have described the period of change and innovation that began in the policing industry during the 1980s as the most dramatic in the history of policing. Hot spots policing is not the only recent innovation that has been concerned with the concentration of crime at place. Indeed, dealing with crime hot spots has been a key component of many recent police innovations such as Compstat, community policing, and problem‐oriented policing. However, to understand the emergence of hot spots policing, it is necessary to understand the crisis in American policing that required the police to innovate. It is also important to understand the relationship of hot spots policing to other strategic innovations such as community policing and problem‐oriented policing. This chapter examines crisis and change in American policing, reviews several key strategic police innovations, and then traces the theoretical and empirical insights that led to the emergence of hot spots policing.

With increases in global population and urbanization, the production of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) is growing rapidly, thus contributing to social and environmental concerns for sustainable waste management. This study addresses the research gap in optimizing composting, hypothesizing that integrating best practices and recent innovations can enhance the efficiency of the process. Data were collected through a systematic review of existing literature using Google Scholar and Scopus databases. The review provides an overview of municipal organic waste composting, outlining its processes, benefits, and challenges with the aim of identifying key area of further improvement and possibilities of adopting recent technological innovations. The analysis emphasized that technological advances in composting, as microbial inoculants or in-vessel composting have greatly improved the efficiency and quality of the resulting compost. However, several challenges remain, including managing contaminants such as heavy metals and microplastics, ensuring the compost quality and safety and addressing socioeconomic barriers that prevent widespread adoption. Moreover, process optimization, environmental and economic evaluation, as well as political and public involvement are essential to unlock the whole potential of composting systems.

In 1964, the Tokaido Shinkansen marked the start of the world's first commercial service high‐speed railway that operates at over 200 km/h. Since then, the Tokaido Shinkansen has demonstrated successful business and technological advancement. With the speeding‐up of the Shinkansen, environmental matters such as noise and vibration have become critical issues. Measures taken to counter noise and vibration—such as weight reduction and aerodynamics—also effect global environmental measures to reduce energy consumption and CO2 emission. With the introduction of the Series 300, there was a system change of applying an AC drive system, and the lightweight body realized performance improvement over the earlier Series 0.The high‐speed EMUs have readily taken advantage of technological innovation such as those achieved in electronics technology. In particular, an innovative AC drive system comprising a power converter with a GTO thyristor and asynchronous motors realized a high‐performance and lightweight traction system for high‐speed EMUs in the 1990s. Furthermore, recent innovations in electronics technology, such as low switching loss power devices and high‐power permanent magnets, have improved the AC drive systems of the high‐speed EMUs of the 21st century.This article starts out by introducing environmentally friendliness of the Shinkansen trains in terms of low energy consumption by means of traction system change, and then proceeds to describe the recent technological innovations that have given birth to lightweight traction systems, such as the Permanent Magnet Synchronous traction Motor (PMSM) and power converters with train‐draft‐cooling systems. The article concludes by summing up the environmentally friendly aspects of the Tokaido Shinkansen. Copyright © 2008 Institute of Electrical Engineers of Japan. Published by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Plastic waste management: A road map to achieve circular economy and recent innovations in pyrolysis

This research aims to evaluate the effectiveness and efficiency of the SAW (Simple Additive Weighting) and TOPSIS (Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution) methods in decision support systems and to identify recent trends and innovations in the application of these two methods across various fields. The research methodology involves collecting and analyzing various academic sources, including journals and conference proceedings that discuss the SAW and TOPSIS methods and compare them with other methods in decision support systems. It compares the effectiveness and efficiency of SAW and TOPSIS based on criteria such as accuracy, complexity, and ease of implementation. Case studies are conducted in various fields to observe the real-world application and performance of the SAW and TOPSIS methods in practical situations. The research concludes that although SAW and TOPSIS each have their own strengths and weaknesses, recent innovations and adaptations keep both methods relevant and effective in various decision support system applications. The SAW method has proven to be efficient in terms of computational time and easy to implement, making it suitable for problems with many quantitative criteria. However, this method is less effective in handling criteria with highly varying levels of importance. On the other hand, the TOPSIS method provides more accurate results in situations with diverse criteria and has the ability to handle more complex data, although it requires more time and computational resources compared to SAW
