Background: Research on post-secondary training for individuals with intellectual disabilities has generally focused on programs, with little consideration of the structures and mechanisms that give rise to them. This article adopts a critical realist perspective to comparatively analyse and theorise about the contextual structures contributing to the introduction of post-secondary training programs in universities for individuals with intellectual disabilities.
Method: Six stages in critical realist explanatory research were followed.

Accurately predicting carbon prices is crucial for effective government decision-making and maintenance the stable operation of carbon markets. However, the instability and nonlinearity of carbon prices, driven by the complex interaction between economic, environmental, and political factors, often result in inaccurate predictions. To confront this challenge, this paper proposed a carbon price prediction model that integrates dual decomposition integration and error correction.

In historical illustrations and caricatures, the extraction of a tooth served as a powerful metaphor and threatening gesture that extended far beyond the medical context. This article examines the symbolic significance of this dental procedure and the extracted tooth as an expression of loss, disempowerment, and territorial dispossession. The comparison covers a wide range of visual representations from the French Revolution (1789-1799), the French July Revolution (1830), the Crimean War (1853-1856), the Austro-Prussian War (1866), the Franco-Prussian War (1870/71), to the First (1914-1918) and Second (1939-1945) World Wars and places them in their respective historical contexts.

Background: Digital solutions, such as mobile apps or telemonitoring devices, are frequently considered facilitators in the process of empowering older adults, but they can also act as a source of digital exclusion or disempowerment if they are not adequate for older adults' needs and characteristics.
Objective: This study aimed to synthesize and critically evaluate existing evidence on the effectiveness of integrated digital solutions that enable interaction for empowering older adults in aspects related to their health and to explore potential factors (eg, type of technology, participants' characteristics) impacting effectiveness.
Methods: A systematic search was carried out in PubMed, ScienceDirect, SCOPUS, EBSCO, and SciELO using a combination of terms informed by previous reviews on empowerment.
