The Satisfaction With Life Scale (SWLS) is a widely used self-report measure of subjective well-being, but studies of its measurement invariance across a large number of nations remain limited. Here, we utilised the Body Image in Nature (BINS) dataset-with data collected between 2020 and 2022 -to assess measurement invariance of the SWLS across 65 nations, 40 languages, gender identities, and age groups (N = 56,968). All participants completed the SWLS under largely uniform conditions.

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.
