The hot phonon bottleneck (HPB) effect has been proposed as one of the main phenomena behind the slow cooling in metal halide perovskites. Even though consensus has been reached regarding its existence, open questions remain concerning the HPB's specific applicability and potential regarding hot carrier solar cell (HCSC) applications. We present a full investigation using ensemble Monte Carlo simulations of the HPB effect in metal halide perovskites (MHP).

- The study aims to develop a comprehensive mobile app to assist cardiovascular disease patients in managing their conditions effectively and improving long-term outcomes.
- An analysis of 100 patients revealed important demographics, such as a median age of 62.5 years and significant pre-existing conditions, indicating a higher prevalence of coronary artery disease and associated emotional challenges like fear and uncertainty.
- A majority of participants expressed motivation and a positive outlook on managing their disease, with 60% willing to use the app, particularly favoring features like document and medication management, while expecting a decrease in organizational effort despite mixed feelings about alleviating worries.
Background: While game-based learning has demonstrated positive outcomes for some learners, its efficacy remains variable. Adaptive scaffolding may improve performance and self-regulation during training by optimizing cognitive load. Informed by cognitive load theory, this study investigates whether adaptive scaffolding based on interaction trace data influences learning performance, self-regulation, cognitive load, test performance, and engagement in a medical emergency game.

- Tobacco control policies like smoke-free laws, increased tobacco taxes, and media campaigns were introduced in the Netherlands in 2008 to improve child health by reducing respiratory issues.
- An analysis of medical records from 2000 to 2016 indicated an initial increase in the incidence rates of wheezing/asthma, RTIs, and OME right after these policies were implemented.
- Despite some declines in wheezing/asthma and RTIs over time, overall evidence suggests no clear positive impact of these tobacco control measures on child health outcomes, warranting caution in interpreting these results due to uncertainties in trend analysis.
