Despite the potential of smart home technologies (SHT) to support everyday activities, the implementation rate of such technology in the homes of older adults remains low. The overall aim of this study was to explore factors involved in the decision-making process in adopting SHT among current and future generations of older adults. We also aimed to identify and understand barriers and facilitators that can better support older adults' engagement in everyday activities.

To enhance leadership acumen and intelligence among the managerial ranks, many healthcare organizations establish leadership development programs. Doing so makes perfect sense as the caliber of leadership within health and medical institutions profoundly influences all aspects of operation. Although leadership development programs are very capable mechanisms for advancing the state of leadership within healthcare organizations, a notable enhancement-evaluation-is needed to maximize their potential.

Infertility has emerged as a significant public health concern, with assisted reproductive technology (ART) is a last-resort treatment option. However, ART's efficacy is limited by significant financial cost and physical discomfort. The aim of this study is to build Machine learning (ML) decision-support models to predict the optimal range of embryo numbers to transfer, using data from infertile couples identified through literature reviews.

Research suggests that the quality of care provided by family members may be influenced by the quality of relationship they have with the person living with dementia. The study investigated this in the context of assisting with daily activities. The quality of the relationship was assessed using the conceptual framework of relationship continuity/discontinuity which focuses on whether the carer experiences their relationship as continuous or discontinuous with the pre-dementia relationship.

What makes β-NaYF:Er,Yb such a successful luminescent thermometer?

Nanoscale

Inorganic Photoactive Materials, Institute of Inorganic Chemistry, Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf, Universitätsstraße 1, 40225 Düsseldorf, Germany.

Luminescence thermometry has emerged as a promising approach for remote, non-invasive temperature sensing at the nanoscale. One of the simplest approaches in that regard is single-ion luminescence Boltzmann thermometry that exploits thermal coupling between two radiatively emitting levels. The working horse example for this type of luminescence thermometry is undoubtedly the green-emitting upconversion phosphor β-NaYF:Er,Yb exploiting the thermal coupling between the two excited H and S levels of Er for this purpose.
