Article Abstract
Older adults have adopted new information technologies at lower rates than their younger counterparts. This is a concern as the integration of information technologies into society continues to advance, while older adults are among those who can potentially reap the greatest benefits from these technologies. Intergenerational Programs (IGPs), which pair older and younger adults for learning and socializing, are strong vehicles for countering the age usage gap. The researchers conducted an integrative review to synthesize recent research on technology-based IGPs and describe the current state of knowledge about these programs. All studies that met the inclusion criteria ( = 16) were conducted in North America and East Asia, which tend to be early adoption centers for information technology. The studies employed diverse methods and sample sizes, with 50% employing mixed-methods combining quantitative and qualitative data. Thematic analysis revealed four focus areas for technology-based IGPs: education and lifelong learning, social engagement, health technology literacy, and creative arts and crafts. IGPs that integrated face-to-face interactions with technology showed the most favorable outcomes in improving technological skills, social engagement, and confidence. The existing literature has limitations, including a near-absence of follow-up studies to evaluate the sustainability of IGP impacts after the end of a program.

Implementation of a midwifery preceptor program in Sierra Leone: a qualitative evaluation using the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research.
BMC Glob Public Health
September 2025
Connell School of Nursing, Boston College, Chestnut Hill, MA, USA.
Background: Sierra Leone has the world's third highest incidence of maternal mortality, with 443 deaths per 100,000 live births. Strengthening the country's midwifery workforce is essential to providing adequate maternal healthcare and reducing preventable perinatal mortality. In support of this goal, we developed and implemented a midwifery preceptor program (MPP) to train experienced midwives to effectively mentor new and student midwives.

Background: Centromeres are crucial for precise chromosome segregation and maintaining genome stability during cell division. However, their evolutionary dynamics, particularly in polyploid organisms with complex genomic architectures, remain largely enigmatic. Allopolyploid wheat, with its well-defined hierarchical ploidy series and recent polyploidization history, serves as an excellent model to explore centromere evolution.

Department of Life Sciences, Division of Food and Nutrition Science, Chalmers University of Technology, Gothenburg, 412 96, Sweden.
Background: Avenanthramides (AVAs) and Avenacosides (AVEs) are unique to oats (Avena Sativa) and may serve as biomarkers of oat intake. However, information regarding their validity as food intake biomarkers is missing. We aimed to investigate critical validation parameters such as half-lives, dose-response, matrix effects, relative bioavailability under single dose, and in relation to the abundance of Feacalibacterium prausnitzii, and under repeated dosing, to understand the potential applications of AVAs and AVEs as biomarkers of oat intake.

Background: Little is documented on key community-based One Health (OH) approach implementation, pro-activeness and effectiveness of interactions and strategies against Mpox outbreak public health emergency in international concern (PHEIC) in various African countries in order to stamp out the persisting Mpox outbreak threat and burden. Prioritizing critical community-based interventions and lessons learned from previous COVID-19, Mpox, Ebola, COVID-19, Rift Valley Fever and Marburg virus outbreaks revealed critical shortcomings in funding, surveillance, and community engagement that plague public health initiatives across the continent. The article provides critical insights and benefits of community-based One Health approaches implementation against Mpox outbreak management in Africa.

Background: Immigrants continue to face challenges after entering the labor market and remain overrepresented in '3-D jobs' (dirty, difficult, degrading). This study aims to investigate the differences in occupational injury due to accidents (OIA) among immigrants compared to native-born workers in Sweden, and to examine the role of migrant-specific and work factors in these differences.
Methods: This repeated cross-sectional study used nationwide registers including all gainfully employed individuals in 2004-2020 (average annual sample 4.
