Assessing many-body methods on the potential energy surface of the (H2)2 hydrogen dimer.

The anisotropic potential energy surface of the (H2)2 dimer represents a challenging problem for many-body methods. Here, we determine the potential energy curves of five different dimer configurations (T, Z, X, H, and L) using the lattice regularized diffusion Monte Carlo method and a number of approximate functionals within density functional theory (DFT), including advanced orbital-dependent functionals based on the random phase approximation (RPA). We assess their performance in describing the potential wells, bond distances, and relative energies.

Function-based risk reduction intervention for lifestyle-related disorders among inactive 40-year-old people: a pilot randomised controlled trial.

Background:  Interventions for preventing or reducing the development of lifestyle-related disorders should be investigated as these conditions are becoming increasingly prevalent and having large effects on quality of life and life expectancy globally. The aim of this pilot study was to prepare for a full-scale randomised controlled trial by evaluating the short-term changes resulting from a function-based preventive intervention aimed at lifestyle-related disorders on a small group of physically inactive 40-year-old people. Change in objectively measured physical activity, functional capacity according to a risk profile, and goal attainment were main outcomes.

Informal caregivers' experiences of support from a tailored primary healthcare unit for older adults - A focus group study.

Background: Informal caregivers are an essential part of health and social care systems worldwide. As such, they may need professional support.

Aim: The aim of this study was to describe informal caregivers' experiences and need for support from a tailored primary health care (PHC) unit.

Development and feasibility of a function-based preventive intervention for lifestyle-related disorders.

Background: The enormous effect of lifestyle-related disorders on health of the global population warrants the development of preventive interventions. Focusing on musculoskeletal health and physical activity may be a way to encourage necessary lifestyle changes by making them more concrete and understandable. The aims of the current study were to develop a function-based preventive intervention aimed at lifestyle-related disorders in physically inactive 40-year-old people and to investigate the feasibility of the intervention.
