Seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO)-pressure retarded osmosis (PRO) hybrid desalination system is being actively researched to reduce energy consumption by generating energy in the PRO. However, the SWRO-PRO hybrid system still faces the following challenges: low freshwater recovery and low energy generation. To resolve these challenges, this study first proposes a novel SWRO-Solar-driven desalination (SD)-PRO hybrid system for energy-efficient desalination.

A split sample/dual method research protocol is demonstrated to increase transparency while reducing the probability of false discovery. We apply the protocol to examine whether diversity in ownership teams increases or decreases the likelihood of a firm reporting a novel innovation using data from the 2018 United States Census Bureau's Annual Business Survey. Transparency is increased in three ways: 1) all specification testing and identifying potentially productive models is done in an exploratory subsample that 2) preserves the validity of hypothesis test statistics from de novo estimation in the holdout confirmatory sample with 3) all findings publicly documented in an earlier registered report and in this journal publication.

Background: Precision Prevention -the right intervention for the right person at the right time- is a recent endeavour in the Alzheimer's disease (AD) field, requiring the integration of multidimensional data from large, representative populations, to identify phenotypes for early and accurate detection of prevention potential.

Aims: The World-Wide FINGERS (WW-FINGERS) network of multidomain trials for risk reduction and prevention of dementia includes 60+ countries. The network aims to adapt and test the original model from the Finnish Geriatric Intervention Study to Prevent Cognitive Impairment and Disability (FINGER) which showed that a multidomain intervention can benefit cognition in older adults at-risk of dementia.

Background: Previous What Matters Most (WMM) research identified and verified patient-important concepts among a diverse population of people living with Alzheimer's disease (PLWAD) and their care partners across all stages of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Additionally, a conceptual model of disease was developed using hypothesized domains and was further refined using qualitative data (Figure 1). This next phase of WMM research aims to quantify the importance of concepts, impacts, and outcomes and to determine priorities among PLWAD and care partners within a diverse sample including underrepresented ethnic and racial groups at each level of disease severity.

Dementia Care Practice.

Background: Systematic approaches are essential for adapting and tailoring implementation strategies to specific dementia care settings if we are to move evidence-based practice into 'real world' care that reaches most persons living with dementia. Care of Persons with Dementia in their Environments (COPE) is an evidence-based dementia care program that provides families with skills to maximize functional abilities and quality of life of persons with dementia and reduce difficulties managing day-to-day care challenges for family caregivers. The COPE in PACE study was a national non-inferiority trial that involved the implementation of COPE in Programs of All-Inclusive Care of the Elderly (PACE)- which provide support for nursing home eligible Medicaid and Medicare enrollees (NCT04165213).
