Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a severe and chronic ailment that is currently ranked as the third most common cause of mortality across the globe. COPD patients often experience debilitating symptoms such as chronic coughing, shortness of breath, and fatigue. Sadly, the disease frequently goes undiagnosed until it is too late, leaving patients without the care they desperately need. So, COPD detection at an early stage is crucial to prevent further damage to the lungs and improve quality of life. Traditional COPD detection methods often rely on physical examinations and tests such as spirometry, chest radiography, blood gas tests, and genetic tests. However, these methods may not always be accurate or accessible. One of the key vital signs for detecting COPD is the patient’s respiration rate. However, it is crucial to consider a patient’s medical and demographic characteristics simultaneously for better detection results. To address this issue, this study aims to detect COPD patients using artificial intelligence techniques. To achieve this goal, a novel framework is proposed that utilizes ultra-wideband (UWB) radar-based temporal and spectral features to build machine learning and deep learning models. This new set of temporal and spectral features is extracted from respiration data collected non-invasively from 1.5 m distance using UWB radar. Different machine learning and deep learning models are trained and tested on the collected dataset. The findings are promising, with a high accuracy score of 100% for COPD detection. This means that the proposed framework could potentially save lives by identifying COPD patients at an early stage. The k-fold cross-validation technique and performance comparison with the state-of-the-art studies are applied to validate its performance, ensuring that the results are robust and reliable. The high accuracy score achieved in the study implies that the proposed framework has the potential for the efficient detection of COPD at an early stage.

Enzymatic treatment shapes in vitro digestion pattern of phenolic compounds in mulberry juice
The health benefits of mulberry fruit are closely associated with its phenolic compounds. However, the effects of enzymatic treatments on the digestion patterns of these compounds in mulberry juice remain largely unknown. This study investigated the impact of pectinase (PE), pectin lyase (PL), and cellulase (CE) on the release of phenolic compounds in whole mulberry juice. The digestion patterns were further evaluated using an in vitro simulated digestion model. The results revealed that PE significantly increased chlorogenic acid content by 77.8 %, PL enhanced cyanidin-3-O-glucoside by 20.5 %, and CE boosted quercetin by 44.5 %. Following in vitro digestion, the phenolic compound levels decreased differently depending on the treatment, while cyanidin-3-O-rutinoside content increased across all groups. In conclusion, the selected enzymes effectively promoted the release of phenolic compounds in mulberry juice. However, during gastrointestinal digestion, the degradation of phenolic compounds surpassed their enhanced release, with effects varying based on the compound's structure.

What works in financial education? Experimental evidence on program impact
Financial education is increasingly essential for safeguarding both individual and corporate well-being. This study systematically reviews global financial education experiments using a dual-method framework that integrates a deep learning classifier with advanced multivariate statistical techniques. Our analysis indicates that while short-term improvements in financial literacy are common, such gains tend to diminish over time without ongoing reinforcement. Moreover, the limited impact of digital innovations and monetary incentives suggests that successful financial education depends on more than simply deploying technological solutions or extrinsic rewards. Overall, this review provides valuable insights into the evolving landscape of financial education in a dynamic economic context and underscores the need for sustainable strategies that secure lasting improvements in financial literacy.

Background Before the incorporation of enfortumab vedotin with pembrolizumab, the standard of care for patients with locally advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma who do not progress after platinum-based chemotherapy was avelumab maintenance therapy, as demonstrated by the JAVELIN 100 trial. However, real-world European data remain scarce. Patients and Methods AVEBLADDER is a retrospective study conducted at 14 hospitals in Northern Spain, including patients with locally advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma diagnosed between January 2021 and June 2023. Outcomes of overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) were analyzed for patients treated with platinum-based chemotherapy, with and without subsequent avelumab maintenance therapy. non-avelumab patients. Median PFS was 11.33 months (95% CI: 10–13.6) with avelumab and 6.43 months (95% CI: 6–7.6) without. One-year OS probabilities were 81.6% vs. 45.6% (p < 0.001) in the avelumab and non-avelumab groups, respectively. No unexpected toxicities were reported. Conclusions Despite proven survival benefits, avelumab uptake in real-world practice is limited by barriers like access, reimbursement, and awareness. These findings align with JAVELIN 100 and underscore the need for further real-world studies to address treatment disparities.

Although financial literacy would seem relevant to university students’ education, it is not currently offered as a transversal subject within European academic curricula. It should therefore come as no surprise that a common solution are ad-hoc specific courses, with students often additionally acquiring valuable learning through their own experiences in business environments. With this and the recent literature on the drivers of financial literacy in mind, the authors decided to explore the context shaped by socio-demographic, academic and work-related factors that either promote or prevent European university students from developing appropriate financial skills, such as managing personal finances, planning for short- and long-term needs, and distinguishing among different sources of non-traditional funding. The study used a sample of 881 undergraduate and postgraduate university students from Romania, Poland and Spain from different studies, with information obtained through an anonymous online survey. The applied econometric model was cumulative regression with location-scale estimation using the R software, version 4.3.2, with variables associated directly with the development of basic financial skills being age, gender, country, but also specific training as well as work and entrepreneurial experience. The authors stress the importance of providing financial management education connected to the reality, especially the business and entrepreneurial environment.

Introduction: Aging is a biological and inevitable phenomenon associated with molecular and cellular damage over time. This process significantly increases the risk of various clinical syndromes, such as frailty and cognitive decline. Consequently, various tools, including physical exercise, have been developed to reduce or prevent these issues in the older population. Objective: The objective of this study is to assess the effectiveness of multicomponent exercise programs in individuals over 65 years, focusing on their effects in reducing signs of frailty and cognitive decline. Methods: Following PRISMA guidelines, searches were conducted in four databases: Pubmed, Google Scholar, Scielo, and Dialnet, selecting a total of twenty-two articles published between 2014 and 2024. Eight studies were chosen where multicomponent training was used to address frailty and cognitive decline. Results: The results from this systematic review indicate that engaging in a multicomponent exercise program for a minimum duration of 8-12 weeks improves signs of frailty and cognitive decline in older individuals. Conclusions: Multicomponent exercise also appears to be an effective tool in preventing and/or reducing disability, frailty, and cognitive decline.
