Summary: This research investigates the dynamic volatility spillover among the financial market stress of the US, Other Advanced Economies (OAE), and Emerging Markets (EM) during the two Black Swan events -the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and Global Financial Crisis (GFC). The findings suggest that during the GFC, the US financial market received the highest spillovers from OAE in the medium run. During the COVID-19 pandemic, financial stress in the US has induced maximum spillovers to the EM market in the long run.

Summary: The study identified 1043 apps related to social anxiety in the Australian Apple App and Google Play Stores, but only 12 apps were evaluated (3 iOS apps and 9 Android apps). Some of the apps were for treatment purposes, some provided supportive resources, some were for self-assessment, and some were designed for multiple purposes. Overall app quality was acceptable according to the Mobile App Rating Scale, but there was a lack of empirical information and clinical evidence to recommend their use.

Summary: This study evaluated the ability of the MyFood app to estimate the intake of energy, protein, fluids, and food among free-living older adults aged 65 years and older. The results showed that the app tended to underestimate participants' dietary intake at both the individual and group levels. However, it had a higher accuracy in estimating the intake of certain food groups like eggs, yogurt, and self-composed dinner. The app was well accepted among the study participants and could be a useful tool for free-living older adults.

Summary: Exploration of dynamic human activity provides insights into the urban environment and helps with urban management strategies. This study investigates the impact of different restriction phases on human activity through sensing human activity zones (HAZs). Using machine learning classifiers, we find that the variation of human activity during the COVID-19 pandemic is strongly associated with urban characteristics.

Summary: The proliferation of mobile devices has opened up new avenues for delivering health services through mobile health systems. Co-design, by involving users directly in the design process, is recognized as a key approach to address the complex challenges in designing such systems. This study aims to contextualize an existing co-design framework for mHealth applications and construct guidelines to tackle common challenges in co-designing mHealth systems.
