Making the decision to retire from active practice is a complex process with very strong psychological overtones. Successful retirement demands preplanning, and financial preplanning must begin very early in the career to achieve the time value of money. Psychological preparation requires recognition that retirement is inevitable, and an avenue of change for yourself and your spouse should be identified, anticipated, and refined over time.

Several recent studies have optimized deep neural networks to learn high-dimensional relationships linking structural and functional connectivity across the human connectome. However, the extent to which these models recapitulate individual-specific characteristics of resting-state functional brain networks remains unclear. A core concern relates to whether current individual predictions outperform simple benchmarks such as group averages and null conditions.

The widespread retirement of crystalline silicon solar cells in coming years poses a significant obstacle to sustainable development. Arable soils have experienced a gradual decline in available silicon levels due to intensive agricultural production. Therefore, it is feasible to repurpose recovered waste crystalline silicon cells below cell-reuse benchmark into agriculturally usable resources.

With the yearly increasing market penetration of new-energy vehicles in China, the retirement of power batteries has gradually become a scale, and most of the waste batteries have entered informal recycling channels, which has induced a series of environmental problems. Considering this issue, we introduced the system dynamics (SD), stimulus organism response (SOR), and the theory of planned behavior (TPB) in behavioral economics to establish the environmental economic benefit evaluation model of power battery recycling strategies, and we performed a dynamic simulation analysis on the effect of government subsidy policy, policy advocacy, and other recycling strategies. The results show that: (1) the recovery subsidy policy can improve the formal recycling quantity and economic benefits of recovery, but the effect on the degree of environmental pollution is limited.

Article Synopsis
- Research identifies significant gaps in care for older adults in the U.S., with about 13% facing difficulties in activities of daily living (ADLs) and 5% in instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs) without receiving help.
- The study shows that those without partners or children experience the highest rates of care gaps.
- Projections indicate that by 2050, the number of older adults with care gaps will increase by over 30%, outpacing overall population growth, highlighting an urgent need for addressing these gaps in care.

Article Synopsis
- The review aimed to evaluate evidence from human studies on the link between radiofrequency electromagnetic fields (RF-EMF) exposure and the risk of certain cancers, especially focusing on brain and salivary gland tumors.
- Researchers included various observational studies examining different types of RF-EMF exposure, such as from wireless phone use, environmental sources, and occupational settings, while emphasizing specific cancers in their analysis.
- The study assessed the quality of each study using a risk-of-bias tool and utilized advanced statistical methods to synthesize results and determine confidence in the evidence gathered.
