Background: The increasing significance of self-management in dementia care arises from earlier diagnosis, improved understanding of patient-modifiable factors, and advancements in treatments. The growing acceptance of patient care planning, especially self-management, is further supported by health professionals and public health initiatives aimed at extending healthspan.
Method: This systematic review evaluates the efficacy of self-management tools in enhancing the quality of life for adults with dementia and mitigating undesirable behaviours associated with the condition.

Smart fish farming faces critical challenges in achieving comprehensive automation, real-time decision-making, and adaptability to diverse environmental conditions and multi-species aquaculture. This study presents a novel Internet of Things (IoT)-driven intelligent decision-making system that dynamically monitors and optimizes water quality parameters to enhance fish survival rates across various regions and species setups. The system integrates advanced sensors connected to an ESP32 microcontroller, continuously monitoring key water parameters such as pH, temperature, and turbidity which are increasingly affected by climate-induced variability.

Background: Anaesthetic training has always had patient safety as part of the curriculum. However, there is limited emphasis on what happens when things do not go to plan. Our aims were to understand the impact of involvement in patient safety incidents on anaesthetic trainees in our region, to describe the range of support currently offered and put forward suggestions for improvement.
