This study elucidates the direct and indirect effects of perceived age discrimination on depressive symptoms and life satisfaction among young, middle-aged, and older adults-through the mediator variables of psychosocial resources and aging stereotypes. Data were collected through a web-based survey conducted in Japan. The total sample size was 2400: 400 men and women in each of the age groups 20 to 39, 40 to 59, and 60 to 79.

- - Sampling reference data is essential for building accurate machine learning potentials (MLPs) in molecular dynamics simulations, as poor data coverage can lead to unphysical results.
- - This study introduces a radial distribution function (RDF)-based sampling method that captures unusual molecular structures during MLP-MD simulations by analyzing the shapes of RDFs, enhancing the reference data for better accuracy.
- - By applying this method to a water molecule cluster, researchers found that the resulting MLP-MD simulations displayed realistic behavior, comparable to advanced ab initio simulations, proving the RDF-based sampling's effectiveness in bridging molecular clusters to bulk systems.
Article Synopsis
- Machine learning is crucial for predicting mechanical properties of polymer materials, which is essential for designing advanced polymers.
- The study introduces a method that utilizes X-ray diffraction (XRD) to analyze higher-order structures of polymers, improving the prediction of their mechanical properties.
- By using Bayesian spectral deconvolution and black-box optimization through Ising machines, the research successfully achieves accurate predictions of seven mechanical properties in polymers, including composite variants.
Article Synopsis
- This study analyzed employment trends among patients on hemodialysis in Japan from 1996 to 2021, considering factors like disability policies and the economy.
- The research found that while employment rates improved, men were about 80% employed compared to the general population, and women only around 50%.
- The rise in employment for women was linked to economic growth and changes in disability employment quotas, highlighting gender differences in labor trends.
Background: The number of caregivers performing medical care tasks at home for older adults is expected to increase. Family caregivers, who are not healthcare professionals, are likely to find these activities difficult and burdensome. However, appropriate support may decrease the negative and increase the positive aspects of caregiving.
