As people age, they are more likely to develop multiple chronic diseases and experience a decline in some of their physical and cognitive functions, leading to the decrease in their ability to live independently. Innovative technology-based interventions tailored to older adults’ functional levels and focused on healthy lifestyles are considered imperative. This work proposed a framework of active and healthy ageing through the integration of a broad spectrum of digital solutions into an open Pan-European technological platform in the context of the SHAPES project, an EU-funded innovation action. In conclusion, the SHAPES project can potentially engage older adults in a holistic technological ecosystem and, therefore, facilitate the maintenance of a high-quality standard of life.

ABSTRACT We report here paired isogenic Burkholderia pseudomallei genomes obtained from three patients receiving intravenous meropenem for melioidosis treatment, with post-meropenem isolates developing decreased susceptibility. Two genomes were finished, and four were drafted to improved high-quality standard. These genomes will be used to identify meropenem resistance mechanisms in B. pseudomallei.

Background: Optimal usage of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) requires adequate training of the users. Providing patients with a CGM system without such a training usually doesn’t lead to the intended improvement in metabolic control. Methods: In Germany we developed a structured training program (“SPECTRUM”) to ensure a high quality standard for the use of CGM systems. Results: This program is suitably for patients of all age groups and is applicable to all CGM systems and all forms of insulin therapy. A curriculum was also developed so that training centers with less experience with CGM could become capable of offering comprehensive CGM training. Conclusions: We believe that usage of such a program can be an important step forward in achieving more widespread acceptance and use of CGM systems. Translations in other languages and evaluation with a controlled clinical trial are planned.

The purpose of research to analyze the implementation of the role and the quality of learning carried out by teachers in upper-level education units. This research uses descriptive correlation method. The research sample consisted of 142 people who were spread across several upper level education units in Siak Regency, Riau Province. The instrument used for data collection was a Likert scale questionnaire. The analysis technique uses descriptive statistics, Product Moment correlation, normality, and anova. The results showed that all the actions taken had a significant role, namely reaching 47.8%, while 52.3% was determined by other factors. All activities carried out have an influence on the form of learning. The implementation of learning carried out in the upper level education unit has a very high quality standard. The teachers have taken appropriate actions to achieve learning objectives. The ability and skills of teachers in carrying out their duties are a means of realizing productive learning.

Ten sets of experiments were designed to process non-burnt bricks by adding different proportion of cement as binder and 10% of carbide slag as activator into heavy metal polluted soil. The results showed that: compressive strength at 3d, 7d and 28d of non-burnt bricks compound by T2 were the highest with 10.552MPa, 19.291 MPa and 20.135 MPa respectively, achieving the high quality standard brick. Besides, leaching concentration of heavy metals were lower than that of GB3838-2002 "environmental quality standard for surface water" in V water requirements; heavy metals Pb, Zn, Cu, Cd mostly exist in the organic and residual fraction with 97.88%90.31%97.44% and 98.92% of the total fraction, respectively.
