Embracing Reablement as an Essential Support Approach for Dementia Care in the 21st Century: A Position Paper by Metzelthin SF, Thuesen J, Tuntland H, Zingmark M, Jeon YH, Kristensen HK, Low LF, Poulos CJ, Pool J, Rahja M, Rosendahl E, de Vugt ME, Giebel C, Graff MJ, Clare L

“…To expedite the adoption of reablement within dementia care, we propose five critical areas of focus: 1) Changing the attitudes and expectations of stakeholders (eg health and social care staff, policy makers, funders) – encouraging people to think about dementia as a disability from a biopsychosocial perspective; 2) Disrupting health and social care - A radical change is needed in the way services are organized so that they are more holistic, personalized and resource-oriented; 3) Investing in capacity-building and creating a supportive environment – the workforce needs to be trained and supported to implement reablement in dementia care; 4) Involving, educating and supporting family caregivers - services and staff that are equipped to provide reablement will be better able to involve family caregivers and the person’s social network; 5) Providing robust evidence about reablement in dementia care by conducting high-quality research with long-term follow-up.Keywords: ageing, sustainability, autonomy, capacity-building, functioning, social participation…”

Drought assessment and development trend in Mu Us Sandy Land based on standardized precipitation and potential evapotranspiration index by Liang Li’e, Wang Xiaohan, Chao Yan, Li Jiamin, Zhu Yonghua

“…Global warming leads to more frequent droughts. Therefore, in order to understand the development characteristics of drought, based on high-resolution climate data, the Mann-Kendall test, empirical orthogonal function decomposition and multi-threshold operation theory were adopted to analyze the characteristics of the multi-scale standardized precipitation index (SPI) and the standardized potential evapotranspiration index (SPEI) from 2002 to 2021. …”

A Novel Dual-Branch Global and Local Feature Extraction Network for SAR and Optical Image Registration by Xuanran Zhao, Yan Wu, Xin Hu, Zhikang Li, Ming Li

“…Then, the output features of the two branches are fused to obtain the final feature descriptor with more comprehensive features. Second, in order to establish accurate keypoints correspondence in the matching phase, hard-mean loss function is proposed to optimize GLFE-Net, which jointly utilizes hard negative samples and remaining negative samples to guide descriptors in learning more discriminant features to better distinguish positive and negative samples in SAR and optical images. …”
