Hydrogen can be used as an energy carrier and chemical feedstock to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, especially in difficult-to-decarbonize markets such as medium- and heavy-duty vehicles, aviation and maritime, iron and steel, and the production of fuels and chemicals. Significant literature has been accumulated on engineering-based assessments of various hydrogen technologies, and real-world projects are validating technology performance at larger scales and for low-carbon supply chains. While energy system models continue to be updated to track this progress, many are currently limited in their representation of hydrogen, and as a group they tend to generate highly variable results under decarbonization constraints.

Depression and anxiety are associated with deficits in adjusting learning behaviour to changing outcome contingencies. This is likely to drive and maintain symptoms, for instance, by perpetuating negative biases or a sense of uncontrollability. Normalising such deficits in adaptive learning might therefore be a novel treatment target for affective disorders.

Background And Objectives: "Successful aging" concerns the process of growing older while maintaining physical, cognitive, and social well-being, emphasizing independence for overall satisfaction and quality of life. We investigate the impact of eHealth literacy on reducing loneliness and sustaining well-being during the pandemic, comparing middle- and high-income countries.

Research Design And Methods: Online surveys were conducted between April 4, 2020, and September 30, 2021, collecting responses (N = 2,091) from medium- and high-income countries in Europe, Asia, and North America.

Background: Technology is being increasing used in education of nursing students. Nurse academics act both as gatekeepers to technology within their classes and as an example of technology attitudes. Therefore, understanding the attitude of academics to technology from the academic's perspective is necessary to understand barriers and enablers of technology engagement.

Article Synopsis
  • Research shows that living near greenery is beneficial for physical and mental health, often assessed from a bird's eye view, while street view images (SVI) offer a new perspective on greenery experienced daily by residents.
  • A systematic review analyzed 35 articles on the connection between SVI-measured greenery and mental health, finding that about two-thirds of studies reported positive links, but the overall evidence quality was low.
  • The review highlights the potential of SVI as a valuable tool for assessing greenery's health benefits and suggests future research should focus on standardizing datasets and expanding studies beyond high-income countries for better applicability.
