Oregon Health & Science University, Portland, OR, USA.
Background: Conducting research remotely in aging and Alzheimer's disease related (ADRD) populations using multiple passive sensing technologies (e.g., activity watches, electronic pillboxes, bed-mats, wall-mounted sensors) provides opportunities for greater inclusiveness and more ecologically valid data capture.

Temple University, Philadelphia, PA, USA.
Background: Race differences on cognitive tests have been widely reported and attributed to psychosocial factors. Cognitive assessment via performance-based tests of everyday functioning may be less influenced by psychosocial factors, offering ecologically valid and less/unbiased measurement. This study examined differences between Black/African American and White older adults on traditional cognitive tests, self/informant report of everyday function, and a sensitive performance-based test of everyday function called the Naturalistic Action Task (NAT).

In our study, we analyzed the composition, diversity, and function of soil bacterial communities in alpine meadows at different altitudes and aspects and their relationship with environmental factors. Our results indicate that altitude and aspect orientation significantly influences the diversity index and composition of soil bacterial communities.

The emerging risks facing humanity have highlighted the need to address and prevent challenges through multilateral preventive strategies. The Mexico-United States (US) border is a region with great biological biodiversity and both countries shared a similar history and intense socioeconomic, and cultural interrelationships. Also, it has an extraordinary ecological contrast, resulting in an enormous biological diversity in a broad Nearctic-Neotropical transition zone.
