Dementia health matters: Influence of literacy, fears, and endorsements on dementia risk mitigation and screening among community-dwelling older adults.

Background: Up to one-third of dementia cases may be preventable, with evidence suggesting that modifying lifestyle and health behaviors can significantly lower the risk of developing dementia. However, motivating older adults to adopt and sustain these changes poses a considerable challenge, particularly when facing the specter of dementia.

Aim: To explore the interaction effect between dementia fear and dementia literacy on the perceived ability of community-dwelling older adults to reduce dementia risk and engage in dementia screening.

Examining the associations between emotionally charged reactions toward climate change and self-care, quality of life among older adults, coping mechanisms, and pro-environmental practices.

Aim: To examine the associations between emotionally charged reactions to climate change, self-care, quality of life among older adults, coping mechanisms, and pro-environmental practices.

Background: Older adults often face unique challenges in coping with climate change and its detrimental effect on self-care and quality of life. They may be particularly vulnerable to this pressing global issue.

Effect of a digital two-dimensional animation program on attitude toward walking aids, performance, and fall avoidance behaviors among older adults in assisted living facilities.

The study investigated the impact of a two-dimensional animation program on attitudes towards walking aids, performance, and fall avoidance behaviors among older adults in assisted living facilities. A quasi-experimental pretest-posttest control group study was conducted on 128 older adults aged 60 years and above. The intervention group showed more favorable attitudes towards walking aids, improved cane and walker use, and reduced fall concerns.

Pyrometallurgical Approach to Extracting Valuable Metals from a Combination of Diverse Li-Ion Batteries' Black Mass.

Li-ion batteries (LIBs) are widely used nowadays. Because of their limited lifetimes and resource constraints in manufacturing them, it is essential to develop effective recycling routes to recover their valuable elements. This study focuses on the pyrometallurgical recycling of black mass (BM) from a mixture of different LIBs.
