Remote areas, often lacking access to a reliable electricity grid, face unique challenges in achieving sustainable development. However, the advancements in solar photovoltaic (PV) technology present a viable solution for these regions. This article explores the design and analysis of grid-connected solar PV systems in remote areas, highlighting their potential to foster sustainable development.

Psychosocial oncology plays a critical role in addressing the psychological, social, and emotional needs of individuals facing a cancer diagnosis and treatment. As the field continues to evolve, the integration of evidence-based practice (EBP) becomes increasingly important to ensure the delivery of effective and quality care. This article explores the perspectives of Canadian service directors on the implementation and challenges of evidence-based practice in psychosocial oncology. Evidence-based practice refers to the integration of the best available research evidence with clinical expertise and patient values and preferences. In psychosocial oncology, EBP helps service providers to offer interventions and support that have been scientifically validated and proven to enhance patients' well-being. It ensures that interventions are grounded in research findings and have demonstrated effectiveness, thereby improving the quality of care and patient outcomes.
