Using Digital Phenotyping for Depression Screening in Community-Dwelling Older Adults: Bayesian Multilevel Hurdle Model Machine Learning Approach.

BACKGROUND: With the rapidly aging population, mental health among older adults has received growing attention. Although the likelihood of experiencing depressive symptoms is higher in late adulthood, older adults are more reluctant to visit a clinic due to the stigma surrounding mental health issues, and many remain undiagnosed and untreated. Digital phenotyping has emerged as a promising approac...

Divergent fates: Polystyrene microplastics alter trifloxystrobin degradation and microbial ecology differently in agricultural soil vs. river sediment.

This study investigates the effects of polystyrene microplastics (PS-MPs) on trifloxystrobin (TRI) degradation behavior and microbial community structure in agricultural soil and river sediment. Degradation kinetics and machine learning modeling (R2 > 0.95) revealed that PS-MPs significantly inhibited TRI dissipation, with biological degradation identified as the primary driver. Specifically, the ...
