The distribution and redistribution of health resources in South Africa by Van den Heever, Alexander Marius

“…The results indicate that significant gains can be made by introducing cervical cancer screening on a large scale in South Africa. A major priority of this thesis was to stress the importance of using economic criteria to assist in making decisions concerning health-care resource allocations. …”

An LLM Approach for Automating the Analysis of BIM (IFC) Data by Selim, Miral

“…However, the results also revealed limitations that can affect the system’s performance in large-scale real-world applications. These findings suggest that while the proposed system shows great potential, further optimization is needed to enhance its usability and reliability in more complex and large-scale scenarios.…”
