“…Further, since the attractiveness and stickiness factors have different values for different cohorts, we wanted to study and compare the migration flows of the three main resident cohorts separately, which is also not the case in the long list of articles dealing with the law of social gravity in academic journals. In this study, we will use inter-municipal internal migration data in Slovenia for 2018-2019 to develop a cohortbased spatial interaction model to estimate future migration between municipalities and consider policies to change trends by introducing public investment, wage, housing, and tax policies (Janež et al, 2016) and new education programs at the required levels (Grah et al, 2019(Grah et al, , 2021Colnar et al, 2019Colnar et al, , 2020. To this end, it is recommended to use one of the social gravity models based on previous research findings as described in Drobne (2014), Drobne and Bogataj (2014), and Bogataj et al (2019b), as well as in some other papers of this research group.…”

Background: Ageing and shrinking of the European population influence the shrinking of central places and the hinterland of cities in a spatial structure. Migration also influences the shrinking or growing of spatial units. Various factors influence migration and, thus, spatial units’ demographic, social and economic stability. The age structure of citizens in a spatial unit may change not only due to population ageing but also because these factors influence the migration flows of different cohorts differently, which has not been studied so far. Objectives: We used data on internal migration between Slovenian municipalities in 2018 and 2019 to develop a cohort-based spatial interaction model to estimate future inter-municipal migration. Approach: In a spatial interaction model, we analyzed differences in the attractiveness and stickiness of municipalities for different cohorts, focusing on those over 65 who may wish to prolong their working status. We also tried to answer the question of how to mitigate shrinkage processes in spatial units by investigating the potential to contribute to the social value of communities. Results: The study’s results show that the 65+ cohorts do not have the same preferences regarding the attractiveness and stickiness factors as younger migrants. Conclusions: The results of our study could contribute to better decisions at the national, regional, and/or local level when designing strategies for regional, urban, and/or rural development, exploring the best solutions for long-term care, and investing in appropriate networks, or considering the revitalization of rural municipalities.

“…Shengelia and his partner provided two meanings to the accessibility of medical services: the possibility of obtaining medical services and the number of medical services that can be used [10]. Care services often accompany medical services for older adults [11]. Both medical services and care services are necessitated for health recovery of older adults who are sick.…”

Objective. The health benefits of medical care services for older adults have been well known. This study aims to identify trajectories of medical care accessibility and their impacts on Chinese older adults’ psychological well-being to enrich findings on health outcomes of medical care accessibility. Methods. This study included 2660 participants aged 65 years and older from the 2005–2018 Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey, and this paper used the latent class growth model to analyze the heterogeneous trajectories of medical care accessibility among Chinese older adults. Ordinary least squares (OLS) regression was also used to explore whether the trajectories of medical care accessibility impact the psychological well-being of Chinese older adults and its heterogeneity among different subgroups of older adults. Results. Three distinct trajectories of medical care accessibility “maintaining high accessibility” (n = 2230, 84.1%), “medium to high accessibility” (n = 222, 8.10%), and “high to low accessibility” (n = 208, 7.80%) were identified, respectively. Regression results show that older adults maintaining high accessibility to medical care reported well psychological well-being. This result was particularly evident among older adults in urban and eastern areas. Discussion. Our findings highlight the importance of maintaining high accessibility to medical care and reducing inequalities in the accessibility to medical care for increasing psychological well-being of Chinese older adults.

“…As the world’s population continues to age, the need for efficient and effective ways to provide care for elderly people, particularly those who want to remain independent in their own homes, is growing [ 1 ]. Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have gained significant attention in recent years as a solution for monitoring the health and wellbeing of people in their homes.…”

This paper looks at wireless sensor networks (WSNs) in healthcare, where they can monitor patients remotely. WSNs are considered one of the most promising technologies due to their flexibility and autonomy in communication. However, routing protocols in WSNs must be energy-efficient, with a minimal quality of service, so as not to compromise patient care. The main objective of this work is to compare two work schemes in the routing protocol algorithm in WSNs (cooperative and collaborative) in a home environment for monitoring the conditions of the elderly. The study aims to optimize the performance of the algorithm and the ease of use for people while analyzing the impact of the sensor network on the analysis of vital signs daily using medical equipment. We found relationships between vital sign metrics that have a more significant impact in the presence of a monitoring system. Finally, we conduct a performance analysis of both schemes proposed for the home tracking application and study their usability from the user’s point of view.
