Opportunities, Dilemmas, and Limitations in Applying "Healthy Living" and "Aging in Place" in Designs for New Housing Concepts in Dutch Neighborhoods

Received: 23 March 2025;  Published: 19 November 2025;  doi: 10.21926/obm.geriatr.2504331

Abstract

This article explores the ongoing work associated with the masterclasses "Towards an Inclusive Living Environment." It critically examines the concept of healthy living for all and aging in place by studying neighborhoods within Dutch cities. The article argues that creating inclusive, healthy environments fosters well-being and promotes a lifestyle of health and autonomy for all. Next to literature studies, we worked with our students in different neighborhoods of The Hague, conducting ethnographic research. Throu [...]

Technology Support to Enable People with Severe Intellectual Disability and Blindness to Carry Out Occupational Activities and Transition Between Them Independently

Received: 14 July 2025;  Published: 09 October 2025;  doi: 10.21926/obm.neurobiol.2504303

Abstract

People with severe intellectual disability and blindness tend to perform only simple occupational activities and are mostly unable to transition between those activities. This inability makes their level of occupation independent of staff support fairly limited. Technology-aided programs may be one of the few opportunities available to increase their independent occupation. This study assessed one such program designed to (a) monitor the participants’ responses and guide them to transition to a new activity once th [...]

Healthy Ageing and its Communal Nemesis Social Frailty

Received: 11 June 2025;  Published: 29 October 2025;  doi: 10.21926/obm.icm.2504047

Abstract

Across the globe, countries are facing an ageing boom, with the proportion of the older adult population growing compared to younger age groups because of increased life expectancy and declining birth rates. Along with the ageing boom, there is increased interest in the wellbeing of older adults. Healthy ageing and social frailty are two constructs that have emerged in studying older adults and their quality of life. In this paper, we critically review salient literature defining and describing healthy ageing and s [...]

Fabrication of CuO-Decorated Fe2O3 Nanoparticles as Efficient and Durable Electrocatalyst for Oxygen Evolution Reaction

Received: 09 August 2025;  Published: 07 November 2025;  doi: 10.21926/cr.2504009

Abstract

The electrochemical water oxidation application of CuO@Fe2O3 materials as potential catalysts is being reported for the first time. A series of CuO@Fe2O3 with different molar ratios of CuO (5, 7, 10, 12, and 15%) was fabricated through precipitation followed by the impregnation method. Structural and electrochemical studies were carried out by using different analytical platforms, including X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Energy dispersive [...]

Immunologic Response after COVID-19 Vaccination in Heart Transplant Recipients

Received: 30 June 2025;  Published: 21 October 2025;  doi: 10.21926/obm.transplant.2504259

Abstract

To date, all large-scale randomized controlled trials for COVID-19 vaccines have excluded solid organ transplant recipients; therefore, the effectiveness and safety of COVID-19 vaccines in preventing coronavirus infection using COVID-19 vaccines in patients with heart transplants have not been sufficiently studied. This paper presents the characteristics of humoral and cellular immunity in heart transplant recipients following vaccination against coronavirus infection. The study group consisted of 40 patients who u [...]

Nursing Care for a Patient with a Risk of Suicide Due to Depression Using the Solution-Focused Brief Therapy Approach: Case Study

Received: 11 September 2025;  Published: 17 November 2025;  doi: 10.21926/obm.neurobiol.2504309

Abstract

Adolescent depression is linked to suicidal ideation and attempts. Nurses are well-positioned to deliver brief, supportive interventions. Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) emphasizes solutions and the activation of personal resources. To describe the feasibility and clinical utility of SFBT, delivered alongside pharmacotherapy, for reducing suicide risk in an adolescent with depression. Single-case report using a nursing process approach in a 17-year-old female inpatient with a major depressive episode and high [...]

Cultural Distance, Host Acculturation Orientation, and Psychological Adaptation among African International Students at Portuguese Universities

Received: 10 July 2025;  Published: 24 October 2025;  doi: 10.21926/obm.icm.2504045

Abstract

International students represent a significant sojourner group. Increasing international student numbers makes it ever more relevant to understand the determinants of their psychological adaptation. This research investigates the question of how perceived cultural distance (PCD) impacts acculturation variables (social contact with host nationals and host national identity) and outcomes such as saudade and life satisfaction among African international students. The sample comprised 422 college students (195 from Ang [...]

Occurrence of Multidrug Resistant Escherichia coli & Escherichia coli O157:H7 in Raw Cow Milk from Dhaka, Bangladesh

Received: 01 May 2025;  Published: 09 December 2025;  doi: 10.21926/rpn.2504025

Abstract

Enteropathogenic strains of Escherichia coli, like the serotype O157:H7, can cause significant health issues if consumed. Milk and dairy products can serve as a reservoir for the bacteria. Dissemination of multidrug-resistant E. coli through dairy products can become a potential health hazard if consumed. The present study investigates the occurrence of multidrug-resistant E. coli O157:H7 in raw milk obtained from farms and markets around Dhaka, Bangladesh. A Total of 50 milk samples were collected in this study fr [...]
