These cutting-edge technologies are designed to overcome the unique obstacles faced in these environments, providing sustainable and efficient medical solutions. By harnessing the power of innovation, we can ensure better healthcare outcomes and a brighter future for all. Delivering effective healthcare in environments with low resources faces many challenges. Some factors which may be detrimental to the provision of adequate healthcare in low resource settings include lack of sufficient financial resources, facilities and…

  • Simulating the Future: En-ROADS and the Drive to Limit Global Warming

    Simulating the Future: En-ROADS and the Drive to Limit Global Warming

    SIMULATING THE FUTURE: En-ROADS AND THE DRIVE TO LIMIT GLOBAL WARMING by Sharizal Ahmad Sobri, Farnaz Sanei, Melika Shabaninasiri, Linu Ann Thomas, Sunanda Plaha, & Sahaana Theivaseelan Department of Engineering Nottingham Trent University (NTU) 1.0 INTRODUCTION Recent reports from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) underscore the narrowing window of opportunity to limit global warming. Current trajectories place the world on a path toward a 3°C temperature rise by 2100, far exceeding the 2°C threshold. This increase would exacerbate extreme weather events, sea-level rise, and biodiversity loss, disproportionately affecting vulnerable populations. The time to act is now, leveraging tools like En-ROADS to enable evidence-based climate action. The global challenge…

  • New and Exciting Developments in EM Propagation

    New and Exciting Developments in EM Propagation

    The IET’s Antennas and Propagation Technical Network (APTN) committee held its last virtual event of the year on the 11 December 2024. The one-hour event discussed “ New and exciting developments in EM Propagation ” and was hosted by Dr Anil Shukla, Dr Richard Rudd and Professor Sana Salous and was moderated by Dr Viktor Doychinov. Discussions took place on a wide range of topics that included:  the need for long term propagation data,  the use of machine learning and artificial intelligence,  measurements using channel sounders,  measurements in new frequency bands such as the Thz band as well as traditional microwave frequencies,  the use of open-source propagation data,  the use of statistical, real time and forecasting models and  the need to support and develop new propagation…

  • IET Comment: Is e-voting in the UK on the horizon?

    IET Comment: Is e-voting in the UK on the horizon?

    Steve Schneider, director of the Surrey Centre for Cyber Security, professor of secure systems at the University of Surrey and chair of the IET Working Group on e-voting. General elections in the UK, with their paper ballots, tend to be accompanied by calls for electronic voting. Yet there are good reasons to be cautious. In the early 2000s the Electoral Commission carried out several pilots exploring modernising the electoral system, which included electronic voting. Their final report made a strong statement that “the level of risk placed on the availability and integrity of the electoral process was unacceptable” and raised concerns around security and transparency of e-voting solutions. No further UK pilots have been carried out to date. The IET has been investigating this topic since…

  • The digital build: Erecting Everton FC’s new stadium

    The digital build: Erecting Everton FC’s new stadium

    Construction of Everton FC’s new £555m stadium has relied on the novel use of 4D modelling technology, which is credited with helping to keep the project on schedule and within budget. Football stadiums bear witness to spectacle and, often, pure drama. For Everton last season, there was plenty of both. With the club in the process of building a new 52,888-seat stadium on Liverpool’s Bramley-Moore Dock, they had a total of eight points deducted for breaching financial rules. It looked at one stage that this new ground would not be visited by Premier League clubs any time soon until a much-needed end-of-season surge saw the Toffees narrowly retain their top-flight status. Building stadiums can be equally precarious, says Simon Beards, the principal planner for the new £555m venue, which is…

  • How France rebuilt Notre-Dame: Blending medieval craftsmanship with cutting-edge tech

    How France rebuilt Notre-Dame: Blending medieval craftsmanship with cutting-edge tech

    Notre-Dame Cathedral is set to reopen to the public this December five and half years after it was badly damaged by fire. The iconic building has been restored using a combination of digital technologies and medieval engineering practices. At around 6.20pm on 15 April 2019, a fire broke out inside Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris. The fire burned until the next morning, destroying the roof, spire and a network of supporting oak beams so vast it was known as la forêt (the forest). The burning remains (including some 30,000 scaffolding poles, in place because restoration work was already being done on the spire) crashed through Notre-Dame’s limestone vaulting into the main cathedral, causing even more damage. Over 850 years after it was built, one of Europe’s most visited landmarks lay in ruins…
