The purpose of the current research was to compare pre- and post-retirement financial and economic resources of two groups of Jewish Israelis, Russian-speaking immigrants from the Former Soviet Union (FSU) and Hebrew-speaking veteran Israelis. The strategy of data-processing was based on SHARE Wave 6 (Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe) and included two levels of analysis: a) household general economic indices and b) individual economic variables for two age subsamples ('51-66' and '67 + '). The research-based model of well-being enabled comparison of economic profiles of the studied groups. The results of logistic regression and discriminant analysis of twenty SHARE 6.0 monetary variables displayed economic and financial inequality of retirement resources between veteran Israeli residents and Russian-speaking immigrants. Lower values of main residence, owned vehicles, and private pensions, together with higher values of mortgage burden, rent expenses, and inter-family support were significant distinguishing features of FSU immigrants. Analysis of the household indices demonstrated that the group of older FSU immigrants was most vulnerable due to their lowest values of household net worth and total income. According to the results of inter- and intra-gender comparisons of incomes between the groups of '67 + ' representatives, Russian-speaking women were identified as having the fewest resources. The retirement resources of Russian-speaking Israelis were clearly inferior to those of Hebrew-speaking veteran Israelis of the same age.Future research of retirement resources of Israelis may include non-financial components of human capital and additional socio-demographic factors.

Reducing transition costs towards carbon neutrality of China's coal power plants.

Article Synopsis
- The study examines various pathways for transitioning coal power that can achieve the same carbon emission reduction targets, focusing on costs associated with different mitigation technologies.
- By using a dynamic optimization model for over 4,200 coal plants in China, the research finds that plants can retrofit multiple technologies, retiring at lower costs while enhancing grid stability.
- Optimizing these transition pathways could save China over $700 billion or increase emissions reductions substantially without extra expenses, aiding in a cost-effective phase-out of coal and supporting carbon neutrality goals.
Emeriti professors' perceptions: qualitative research exploring involvement in university activities.

In 2020, the UMass Lowell (UML) Age-Friendly University (AFU) campus administered the Age-Friendly Inventory and Campus Climate Survey (ICCS) in partnership with UMass Boston. The results identified a need for campus improvement related to "involving retired faculty in university activities" (AFU Principle 9). In response to this finding, an IRB-approved follow-up survey was distributed to UML retired faculty and emeriti professors, the end of which invited respondents to participate in one-hour virtual qualitative interviews to explore the research question: What are the perceptions of retired faculty and emeriti professors regarding AFU Principle 9? Emeriti professor interviews ( = 19) were held in 2021.

This study uses panel data from the 2011, 2013, 2015, 2018, and 2020 China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study to examine the labor supply effects of spousal disability in later life. Employing a staggered difference-in-differences strategy, we provide causal evidence of gender-specific impacts, with a significant and enduring negative effect on female employment lasting over eight years, in contrast to minimal changes for males. The negative effect on female employment is particularly pronounced among low-educated individuals, those with agricultural hukou, and those influenced by stronger Confucian cultural norms.

Objectives: To evaluate if the tackler correctly adhering, or not, to four different instructions of legal front-on one-on-one torso tackles altered the tackler and/or ball carrier peak inertial head kinematics.
Design: Controlled laboratory study.
Methods: Fifteen rugby-code players measured with three-dimensional optoelectronic motion capture performed two tackle instructions from the Australian National Rugby League coaching manual on under (Dominant National Rugby League) and over (Smother National Rugby League) the ball tackles, and two novel variants of these (under, Dominant, Torso Stick; over, Smother, Pop, Lock).
