Which unmet social care needs have the biggest impact on healthy ageing? An analysis of data from the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing by Barbara Hanratty, Gemma F Spiers, David Sinclair, Andrew Kingston, Michelle M C Tan, Laurie E Davies

“…People with an unmet need for support with managing money were nine times more likely to report poor self-rated health than those whose support needs were met in this domain (OR=9.23, 95% CI: 2.12 to 40.23). In a comparison of people with met and unmet needs, individuals with met needs had higher levels of dependency than those with unmet needs.Conclusions Some unmet needs may be especially consequential for older people’s health. …”

Innovative segmentation technique for aerial power lines via amplitude stretching transform by Pengfei Xu, Nor Anis Asma Sulaiman, Yafei Ding, Jiangwei Zhao

“…For this reason, this paper designs a pure amplitude stretching kernel function to form a Fourier amplitude vector field and uses this amplitude vector field to implement the stretching transformation of the amplitude field of the aerial power line image, so that the angular field after the Fourier inverse transformation can better react to the spatial domain line targets, and finally, after the Relative Total Variation (RTV) processing, the power line can be well detected. …”

Analysis of GNSS-RTK Monitoring Background Noise Characteristics Based on Stability Tests by Wencong Qi, Feilong Li, Lina Yu, Lilong Fan, Kai Zhang

“…The spectral analysis of GNSS-RTK signals reveals that multipath errors in concrete, grass, and obstructed balcony environments are primarily concentrated in the low-frequency range within 0.04 Hz, while the internal white noise of the instrument is widely and evenly distributed across the whole frequency domain. Based on these findings, adaptive methods, such as filter methods and multipath error correction techniques, are proposed for the de-noising of GNSS-RTK background noise.…”
