Summary: Improving sleep quality can alleviate cancer-related fatigue symptoms, and cognitive behavioral therapy has been shown to be the most effective intervention. Sleep education and exercise interventions also have a positive impact on fatigue and sleep quality. However, the causality between CRF and fatigue cannot be determined at this stage.

Summary: This study provides an overview of the predictive value of negative health outcomes for fatigue in community-dwelling older adults. The results indicate that fatigue is associated with an increased risk for various negative health outcomes, highlighting the importance of early interventions to prevent physical decline associated with fatigue.

Summary: There is evidence that mental fatigue reduces cognitive resources and impairs balance performance, particularly in older adults and during complex balance tasks. Overall, the available literature indicates that mental fatigue generally reduces balance in healthy adults. However, the interactions between cognitive resource reduction, aging, and balance task complexity remain uncertain.

Summary: The study explored the relationship between sleep and fatigue, finding that self-reported nightly sleep quality significantly predicted subsequent daily fatigue ratings, while total sleep time was a significant predictor of fatigue within participants. Additionally, unhelpful sleep beliefs and rumination about fatigue mediated the relationship between insomnia and fatigue reporting.

Summary: Manufacturing service collaboration (MSC) provides a cost-effective, efficient, and high-quality collaboration diagram on Industrial Internet Platforms. However, some stakeholders are hesitant to participate in MSC continuously due to short-term dissatisfaction bursts or long-term accumulation of dissatisfaction. To address this issue, this article proposes an incentive strategy that aims to stimulate the collaboration willingness of consumers with collaboration tiredness. Through the use of Bayesian thresholds, utility references are generated for consumers with collaboration tiredness, and an improved memetic algorithm is applied to continuously provoke MSC optimization and generate new plans. Experimental results validate the effectiveness of the incentive strategy from a long-term perspective.

Summary: The study found that baseline tiredness in adolescents was positively associated with emotional arousal, but not valence. This suggests that adolescents may experience more arousing emotional reactions when tired, increasing the risk for mental health problems.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the combined effects of a 12-week MCTs supplement and moderate-intensity walking exercise on the subjective health and quality of life (QOL) of middle-aged and older adults. The results showed significant improvements in physical QOL subscales and mental QOL summary scores compared to the control group.

Summary: Youth with sickle cell disease often experience poor sleep quality, vaso-occlusive pain crises, and fatigue. This study found that poor sleep quality predicts increased levels of next-day fatigue and may be an important target for intervention. The use of pain medications has limited impact on fatigue levels among youth and requires further study.

Summary: Fatigue, the most reported symptom in old age, lacks sufficient research in terms of mechanisms and measures. The heterogeneity of the population and methodological inconsistency pose challenges in understanding the relationship between fatigue and brain aging. This article comprehensively reviews existing frameworks and mechanisms of fatigue in the aging literature, proposing a Multi-Dimensional Model and a fatigue circuit to guide future research in understanding the potential relationships between fatigue dimensions, the fatigue circuit, and brain aging.

Summary: This study examines the relationship between daily physical activity, sedentary behavior, and treatment-related symptoms among cancer patients undergoing active treatment. It found that physical activity may alleviate symptoms for leaner patients, while age and body mass index moderated the relationship between sedentary behavior and symptom burden.

Summary: As global workforces become more diverse in age, it is important to understand and manage age differences to integrate employees effectively into organizations. Through a daily diary study, it was found that older workers tend to have stronger positive emotional responses to inclusion experience, which is mediated by relationship value. Additionally, changes in positive and negative affect directly impact employees' work engagement throughout the workday.

Summary: The study found that when the default option was in-person, only 25% of participants chose video consultation, compared to 41% in the active choice group and 65% in the default video group. Results showed that younger patients and those with previous experience were more likely to prefer video consultations.

Summary: The study conducted in the UK evaluated the effectiveness of olfactory and visual priming interventions in increasing hand hygiene compliance in hospital settings. Results showed that neither olfactory nor visual priming consistently increased hand hygiene compliance among hospital staff. Future research should focus on identifying mechanisms of action to improve the efficacy of such interventions.

Summary: This study reanalyzed existing data from the United States and Germany and found that there is a relationship between income and happiness when income is treated as a categorical variable. However, different analytic approaches may lead to different results, which can explain discrepancies in previous studies on happiness correlates.

Summary: This study examines the effects and reasons for the uptake of six trials with actionable findings on clinical practice. The quantitative analysis reveals that practice changed in accordance with the findings for three trials, while the qualitative analysis found that evidence from other sources and various reasons influenced the non-adoption or delayed uptake of trial evidence.

Summary: This study aims to explore how informed choice is achieved and found that using decision aids to promote informed choice generates tensions between increasing uptake and comprehensibility of the information. Organizations need to prioritize either high levels of uptake or maximizing informed choice, and consider all levels of information development and distribution.

Summary: Global trends indicate a rise in the prevalence of low subjective wellbeing. This paper examines the importance of individual and country-level factors in predicting low SWB, using data from the Gallup World Poll. Results show that individual factors have greater explanatory power, but country-level factors are almost four times more important in explaining the variation in low evaluative wellbeing. Evidence also suggests an interaction between individual and country-level factors in determining low SWB.

Summary: This study examines the mental health and wellbeing experiences of individuals who were advised to shield during the COVID-19 pandemic in the UK. The findings suggest that those who received shielding guidance were more likely to have poorer mental health and life satisfaction during the pandemic, but this can largely be attributed to existing inequalities and differences in pre-pandemic baselines.

Summary: Economic growth may not improve society if people compare their achievements in ways that detract from well-being. This study applied a p-value ranking approach to explore reference group selection in relation to well-being. Results showed that reference groups based on geography, age, perceptions, and wealth rank were consistently associated with well-being. Future researchers should consider these dimensions when constructing relative measures.
