Associations between within-day step accumulation pattern and clinical measures of physical function: a change-for-change analysis of longitudinal data in community-dwelling older... by Melvyn Hillsdon, Alexander Schoenfelder, Brad Metcalf, Afroditi Stathi, Max J. Western, Joss Langford

“…Conclusions Preventing increases in the time between stepping bouts could help preserve physical function in older adults. Future intervention trials targeting how bouts of stepping are spread throughout the day, rather than just total steps, may provide a more effective approach to promoting healthy physical functioning in older age.…”

A study of the effect of sports participation on married youth’s fertility intentions - chain mediation based on marital and family functioning by Li Lin, Xinze Li, Cen Cong

“…Specifically, Structural equation modeling with 1,000 bootstrapped samples confirms that marital functioning mediates this relationship (indirect effect = 0.023, 13.7% of the total effect; p < 0.10), family functioning mediates more strongly (indirect effect = 0.082, 48.8%; p < 0.01), and the chain mediation through both subsystems accounts for 0.063 (37.5%; p < 0.01).DiscussionThis study underscores the importance of both marital and family subsystems in shaping fertility decisions, suggesting that policies promoting sports participation and family-centered support may effectively enhance fertility intentions among young married individuals.…”

Modified Fractional Power Series Method for solving fractional partial differential equations by Isaac Addai, Benedict Barnes, Isaac Kwame Dontwi, Kwaku Forkuoh Darkwah

“…Incorporating two parameters, α and β, in the Mittag-Leffler function of the FPSM is beyond reasonable doubt; it provides the continuum solution of the FPDEs and also yields more consistent and fast convergence of the solution in Holder’s spaces compared to the FPSM with the Mittag-Leffler function in one parameter. …”
