Understanding how users of home-based aged care services with cognitive impairment rate their social care related quality of life.

BMC Geriatr

January 2025

Deputy Director of the Health and Social Care Workforce Research Unit (HSCWRU), The Policy Institute, King's College London, 22 Kings Way, London, WC2B 6LE, England.

Background: Over the past decades, self-directed models of care have been implemented throughout the world to support older people, including those with dementia, to live at home. However, there is limited information about how self-directed home care is experienced by older people with cognitive impairment and dementia, and how their thinking informs their care choices and quality of life.

Methods: We used the ASCOT-Easy Read, a staggered reveal method, talk aloud techniques, probing questions, and physical assistance to support users of self-directed home care in Australia with cognitive impairment and dementia to discuss their Social Care Related Quality of Life (SCRQoL).

Visualized neural network-based vibration control for pigeon-like flexible flapping wings.

ISA Trans

January 2025

School of Artificial Intelligence, Anhui University, Hefei 230601, China. Electronic address:

This study investigates pigeon-like flexible flapping wings, which are known for their low energy consumption, high flexibility, and lightweight design. However, such flexible flapping wing systems are prone to deformation and vibration during flight, leading to performance degradation. It is thus necessary to design a control method to effectively manage the vibration of flexible wings.

Tumor-microenvironment-mediated second near-infrared light activation multifunctional cascade nanoenzyme for self-replenishing O/HO multimodal tumor therapy.

J Colloid Interface Sci

December 2024

School of Physics and Electronic Sciences, Hunan Provincial Key Laboratory of Flexible Electronic Materials Genome Engineering, Changsha University of Science and Technology, Changsha 410114, PR China. Electronic address:

Developing a catalytic nanoenzyme activated by the tumor microenvironment (TME) shows excellent potential for in situ cancer treatment. However, the rational design of a cascade procedure to achieve high therapeutic efficiency remains challenging. In this study, the colorectal TME-responsive multifunctional cascade nanoenzyme CuO@MnO@glucose oxidase (GOx)@hyaluronic acid (HA) was developed to target in situ cancer starvation/chemodynamic therapy (CDT)/photothermal therapy (PTT).

Managing multiple tasks simultaneously often results in performance decrements due to limited cognitive resources. Task prioritization, requiring effective cognitive control, is a strategy to mitigate these effects and is influenced by the stability-flexibility dilemma. While previous studies have investigated the stability-flexibility dilemma in fully manual multitasking environments, this study explores how cognitive control modes interact with automation reliability.

Bridging the fields of cognition and birdsong with corvids.

Curr Opin Neurobiol

January 2025

Animal Physiology, Institute of Neurobiology, University of Tuebingen, Auf der Morgenstelle 28, 72076 Tuebingen, Germany. Electronic address:

Corvids, readily adaptable across social and ecological contexts, successfully inhabit almost the entire world. They are seen as highly intelligent birds, and current research examines their cognitive abilities. Despite being songbirds with a complete 'song system', corvids have historically received less attention in studies of song production, learning, and perception compared to non-corvid songbirds.
