Summary: This study focuses on the spatial distribution and related factors of Chinese community gardens using kernel density estimation and overlay analysis methods. The results indicate that the spatial distribution of community gardens in China varies by region and is correlated with precipitation, temperature, and policy. There are similarities and differences in the patterns of different types of community gardens. The perceived benefits for social, ecological, and health aspects are higher than economic benefits, and the recognized barriers include lack of design and technology, rational management, effective operation, and institutional constraints.

Summary: This study aimed to identify the perceived barriers to maintaining physical activity among adults in three major cities of Bangladesh and their association with mental health status. The study found significant associations between perceived physical activity scores and factors such as gender, family type, occupation, income, BMI, anxiety, and depression. To mitigate physical activity barriers, it is important to ensure a safe environment, provide low-cost exercise facilities, improve road and traffic conditions, and offer appropriate mental health counseling.

Summary: This study aimed to explore the structural relationship between perceived participation and autonomy among older adults with stroke and hypertension in home and community-based services (HCBSs) in the eastern coastal region of China. A total of 714 respondents with stroke and hypertension were analyzed, and multiple linear regression analysis was used to identify the factors influencing perceived participation and autonomy. The results showed that age, marital status, health insurance, living status, number of children, chronic diseases, sleep time, frequency of outings, and health utility value were significant factors affecting perceived participation and autonomy.

Summary: This study explores the motivators and barriers to social participation in institutional settings among older Chinese long-term care residents. Motivators include pursuit of healthy aging and meaningful aging, while barriers arise from life-course experiences, long-term care-related factors, and Chinese policy-related factors. Understanding these motivators and barriers is crucial for promoting healthy aging among institutionalized residents.

Summary: This study explored the relationship between walking measurements and social participation in ambulatory people with chronic stroke. The results showed significant positive correlations between all walking measures (walking speed, walking performance, and walking confidence) and social participation. Regression analysis further revealed that walking confidence and perceived locomotion ability explained the variance in participation. Clinicians should consider evaluating real-life performance and personal factors in assessing community participation after stroke.

Summary: This paper aims to explore citizens' perceptions of smartphone-based city management apps and the factors that influence their adoption and use. The findings suggest that citizens primarily see city management apps as convenient and efficient tools for accessing information and public services. Current technology adoption and use models may need to be expanded for the US context.

Summary: The biological sciences community recognizes the importance of open, reproducible, and transparent research practices. However, researchers face barriers in sharing their data and code, including knowledge barriers, concerns about reuse, and misaligned career incentives. By identifying and addressing these barriers, we can promote open science goals.
