Existence and Multiplicity of Solutions for Discrete Nonlinear Two-Point Boundary Value Problems by Jianmin Guo, Caixia Guo

“…By using Morse theory, the critical point theory, and the character of 𝐾1/2, we consider the existence and multiplicity results of solutions to the following discrete nonlinear two-point boundary value problem −Δ2𝑥(𝑘−1)=𝑓(𝑘,𝑥(𝑘)),𝑘∈ℤ(1,𝑇) subject to 𝑥(0)=0=Δ𝑥(𝑇), where 𝑇 is a positive integer, ℤ(1,𝑇)={1,2,…,𝑇},Δ is the forward difference operator defined by Δ𝑥(𝑘)=𝑥(𝑘+1)−𝑥(𝑘), and 𝑓∶ℤ(1,𝑇)×ℝ→ℝ is continuous. …”

Role of comprehensive geriatric assessment in healthcare of older people in UK care homes: realist review by Claire Goodman, Tom Dening, Neil H Chadborn, Maria Zubair, Lídia Sousa, John R F Gladman, Adam, L Gordon

“…We used realist review to develop a theory-driven account of how CGA works in care homes.Design Realist review.Setting Care homes.Methods The review had three stages: first, interviews with expert stakeholders and scoping of the literature to develop programme theories for CGA; second, iterative searches with structured retrieval and extraction of the literature; third, synthesis to refine the programme theory of how CGA works in care homes.We used the following databases: Medline, CINAHL, Scopus, PsychInfo, PubMed, Google Scholar, Greylit, Cochrane Library and Joanna Briggs Institute.Results 130 articles informed a programme theory which suggested CGA had three main components: structured comprehensive assessment, developing a care plan and working towards patient-centred goals. …”

Evolutionary Explanations of the “Actuarial Senescence in the Wild” and of the “State of Senility” by Giacinto Libertini

“…Only the theory attributing an adaptive value to IMICAW allows an evolutionary explanation for it and for the aforesaid inverse correlation, while the other three theories (“mutation accumulation”, “antagonistic pleiotropy”, and “disposable soma” th.) even predict a positive correlation.Afterwards, the same theories are tested as possible explanations for the “state of senility”[3], namely the deteriorated state of individuals in artificially protected conditions (captivity, civilization, etc.) at ages rarely or never observable in the wild. …”
