In this paper, I present contextualizing factors, dimensions, and key markers of algorithm literacies, paying attention to the context parenting parenthood amidst datafication. Analyzing data from “think-aloud” interviews with 30 parents children aged between 0 18, across England, draw upon media digital literacies scholarship focus, first, in on competencies, conversations, events which contex...

OBJECTIVES Executive functions supervise the contents of working memory, where information from long-term memory is integrated with information in the immediate present. This study examined whether executive attentional abilities were uniquely associated with the performance of complex, instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs) in cognitively intact and physically high-functioning older w...

This article presents descriptive statistics from the 1982 Long-Term Care Survey on noninstitutionalized elderly Americans with limitations in activities of daily living (ADL) and instrumental activities of daily living (IADL). The focus of this article is on private expenses for home-based care related to ADL and IADL limitations. We describe the amounts of out-of-pocket payments expended rela...

A systematic review of the literature related to performance difficulties for children and adolescents with difficulty processing and integrating sensory information was completed as part of the Evidence-Based Literature Review Project of the American Occupational Therapy Association. The review focused on functional performance difficulties that these children may exhibit in areas of occupatio...

Little is known about the extent to which advanced activities of daily living among patients with dementia are preserved and how family caregivers of these patients support them in the community. In this cross-sectional assessment of pairs of patients with dementia and their family caregivers, we evaluated basic, instrumental, and advanced activities of daily living by comparing past and presen...

Little is known about pathways to homelessness among older adults. We identified life course experiences associated with earlier versus later onset of homelessness in older homeless adults and examined current health and functional status by age at first homelessness. We interviewed 350 homeless adults, aged 50 and older, recruited via population-based sampling. Participants reported age at fir...

THE use of formal devices for assessing function is becoming standard in agencies serving the elderly. In the Gerontological Society's recent contract study on functional assessment (Howell, 1968), a large assortment of rating scales, checklists, and other techniques in use in applied settings was easily assembled. The present state of the trade seems to be one in which each investigator or pra...

As their most critical limitation, neighborhood and health studies published to date have not taken into account nonresidential activity places where individuals travel in their daily lives. However, identifying low-mobility populations residing in low-resource environments, assessing cumulative environmental exposures over multiple activity places, and identifying specific activity locations f...

We read the article of Brethauer et al. (1) with great interest. Gastric bypass surgery in type 1 diabetes has previously not been well studied except for a small number of case reports. We recently reported on the effects of gastric bypass surgery on severely obese females with type 1 diabetes during short-term followup (2). We found significant reductions in both the basal insulin rate as wel...

the zagreb indices are the oldest graph invariants used in mathematical chemistry to predictthe chemical phenomena. in this paper we define the multiple versions of zagreb indicesbased on degrees of vertices in a given graph and then we compute the first and secondextremal graphs for them.
