Understanding older adults' acceptance of Chatbots in healthcare delivery: an extended UTAUT model.

Background: Chatbots are increasingly integrated into the lives of older adults to assist with health and wellness tasks. This study aimed to understand the factors that enhance older adults' acceptance of chatbots in healthcare delivery.

Methods: This study proposed an extended Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology model (UTAUT), including aging factors of perceived physical condition, self-actualization needs, and technology anxiety.

The Effect of Musical Environments on Designers' Attention: Persistent Music Listening Interferes with Attention.

Research indicates that music can influence human cognitive functions. Diverse musical settings can affect alertness, orientation, and executive control of attention in various populations. Exploring the relationship between designers with highly creative thinking and music environments can provide new research perspectives for the cognitive field.

Coprecipitation-based synchronous chlorantraniliprole encapsulation with chitosan: carrier-pesticide interactions and release behavior.

Background: Controlled-release pesticide formulations have emerged as a promising approach towards sustainable pest control. Herein, an environment-friendly formulation of insecticide chlorantraniliprole (CAP) was fabricated through a simple approach of coprecipitation-based synchronous encapsulation by chitosan (CTS), with carrier-pesticide interaction mechanism and release behavior investigated.

Results: The resulting CAP/CTS controlled-release formulation (CCF) showed a good loading content of 28.

2-Methyl-propan-2-aminium 4-hy-droxy-benzoate.

In the crystal of the title mol-ecular salt, C(4)H(12)N(+)·C(7)H(5)O(3) (-), the cation is linked to three nearby anions by N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds. An O-H⋯O hydrogen bond between anions further consolidates the packing.
