A limited number of studies have addressed rural-urban differences in ageing in place, let alone at the spatial level of the dwelling, defined as ageing@home. Ageing@home in rural areas might be challenging, especially when health deteriorates and facilities and services may be less available or accessible …

BACKGROUND:  Digitalization in geriatric rehabilitation presents unique challenges, making it essential to align eHealth solutions with patients' digital skills. The Quickscan Digital Skills (QDS) is a tool designed to help healthcare professionals match eHealth interventions to individual skill levels. …

OBJECTIVE: Geriatric rehabilitation (GR) is an essential component of transitional care. However, insight into longitudinal care use and related costs is limited. This study mapped GR trajectories over a six-month period, identified latent groups with similar cost patterns and examined patient-level …

Aviation safety relies greatly on understanding human factors and pilot behaviour. This study uses innovative eye-tracking biometrics and predictive analytics to enhance aviation landing performance in a twin-engine Piper Seneca simulation. With a Tobii Glass 3 eye tracker, gaze patterns from two pilots …

Background: Pain assessment is a necessary step in pain management in older people in palliative care. In older people, pain assessment can be challenging due to underreporting and atypical pain manifestations by other distressing symptoms. Anxiety, fatigue, loss of appetite, nausea, insomnia, dyspnoea, …

This research explored whether machine learning models could predict shifts in participants’ preferences and attitudes towards energy solutions based on behavioural and self-reported engagement data collected during visual educational interventions. Through four sub-questions, the study evaluated how …

Background: In the Netherlands, primary care dietitians are the preferred health care professionals for weight management in patients living with overweight and obesity. A clinically relevant weight loss of ≥5% is associated with positive health outcomes. However, a significant proportion of patients …

Background A major challenge for effective practical work in school science is to encourage students to connect hands-on aspects to minds-on principles, in other words to Think Back-and-Forth (TBF). Teacher behaviour is pivotal in achieving this goal, but teachers lack guidelines how to accomplish this. …

BACKGROUND: Preventing metabolic syndrome (MetS) and frailty in older adults is crucial for healthy aging. The association between MetS and physical frailty is well-documented, with low-grade inflammation as potential explanation. However, the association between MetS and frailty as a multidimensional …

This paper investigate to use of information technology, i.e. machine learning algorithms for water assessment in Timor-Leste. It is essential to access clean water to ensure the safety for humans and others livings in this world. The Water Quality Index (WQI) is the standard tool for assessing water …
