Predicting unmet activities of daily living needs among the oldest old with disabilities in China: a machine learning approach.

Background: The ageing population in China has led to a significant increase in the number of older persons with disabilities. These individuals face substantial challenges in accessing adequate activities of daily living (ADL) assistance. Unmet ADL needs among this population can result in severe health consequences and strain an already burdened care system.

Overage labor, intergenerational financial support, and depression among older rural residents: evidence from China.

Background: Depression is a major factor affecting the happiness of older rural residents. With the increasing aging of the Chinese population, overage labor is becoming more prevalent in rural areas of China. This study aimed to assess whether, and if so, how, overage labor affects depression status in older rural residents.

Overage labor, value perceptions, and happiness in urban older adults' lives: Empirical evidence from China.

Background: Over the past four decades, China has seen a rapid increase in the level of urbanization, along with an increasing number of older adults. How to promote active aging in the midst of rapid urbanization has become a new challenge for the Chinese government and all sectors of society. This study attempts to verify the relationship between overage labor and happiness in life, and further explore the possible mediating role of multidimensional value perceptions.

Is life satisfaction higher for citizens engaged in political participation: Analysis based on the Chinese social survey.

Background: Political participation is an important component of civil rights. Several studies have shown that citizens' political participation not only influences the allocation of public resources, but also has a positive correlation with participants' life satisfaction. Recently, political participation has become increasingly frequent in China; however, the research on Chinese citizens' political participation and life satisfaction is insufficient.

Photocurrent, humidity sensitivity and proton conductivity properties of a new sulfide semiconductor CsCuS.

Copper chalcogenides have drawn considerable attention due to their prominent semiconducting properties. A new Cu-containing semiconductor, namely, CsCuS (1), was obtained by a halide salt flux method. Its structure featured 1D infinite ∞1[CuS] chains, where the polysulfide anion S was relatively rare in Cu chalcogenides.

Flexible Piezoresistive Pressure Sensor Based on Electrospun Rough Polyurethane Nanofibers Film for Human Motion Monitoring.

Flexible piezoresistive pressure sensors have been attracted a lot of attention due to their simple mechanism, easy fabrication, and convenient signal acquisition and analysis. Herein, a new flexible piezoresistive sensor based on microstructured electrospun rough polyurethane (PU) nanofibers film is assembled. The microstructured PU film with tiny bumps is prepared in one step via electrospinning technology, which imparts a microstructured rough upper surface and a smooth lower surface.
