In home life, the use of finebubble technology is incleasing, and because of their high cleaning effect, the technology is expected to easily save water and reduce the amount of chemicals used. We believe it has high compatibility with the SDGs (Sustainable Development Goles : adopted by the United Nations in 2015). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract This study demonstrates that infill renovation for the elderly to continue to stay at their homes longer reduces the physical and mental burden of the elderly and their caretakers. The infill renovation is expected to provide disabled elderly residents with more independence, self‐decision‐making abilities, and dignity in their everyday life. Even if the physical abilities of disabled elderly people have deteriorated, the infill renovation will promote the use of their remaining abilities to enable them to stay at their homes longer. Home environment plays an important role in enabling disabled elderly people to continue to stay at their homes even after their physical functions have started deteriorating.

Background: Nordic children’s health has declined. Studies show that parents’ engagement in children’s leisure-time activities might provide beneficial health outcomes for children. Aim: The aim of the present study was to examine the association between Swedish parents’ activities together with their children, the parents’ experiences of time pressure and their children’s health. Methods: Data of 1461 Swedish children aged 2–17 years old that were collected in the NordChild study of 2011 were used. We analyzed physical health, diseases and disabilities, psychosomatic health and well-being, and the parents’ experiences of time pressure; and we calculated the associations between parental activity together with the child and health indicators. Results: Activities that were significantly and positively associated with children’s health at ages 2–17 years of age were: playing and playing games; going to the cinema, theatre, and sporting events; reading books; playing musical instruments/singing; sports activities; watching TV/video/DVD. Playing video games or computer games, driving child to activities and going for walks were significantly and positively associated at age groups 7–12 years and 13–17 years. Activities that were negatively associated with health were: surfing/blogging on the Internet, going shopping and doing homework. Parents who were not experiencing time pressures had a higher level of activity together with their children. The parental experience of time pressure was associated with work time, with less homework activity and more symptoms in children. Conclusions: The family and home are important settings for the development of children’s health. We found eight parental activities together with their children that promoted the children’s health. Parents’ working time and their time pressure experiences affected their activities with their children. There is a need for an increased focus on parental activities that are positively associated with children’s health. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

Purpose: We investigated the effect of parents' mental health, life events, and home life (among other factors) on adolescents'/youths' mental health, whether such an effect varies when several variables are assessed jointly, and also whether the informant source of the mental health problem modifies the estimations. Methods: We studied a representative sample of 454 Spanish adolescents/youths studied longitudinally (2 assessments, 3 years apart). We considered factors associated with adolescents'/youths' mental health (conduct, emotional, and hyperactivity scores [SDQ]): risk factors (parents' mental health and life events) and mediators (social and financial support). Structural equation modeling was applied. We constructed two models: (a) with parents' SDQ responses and (b) with self-reported SDQ responses (in a subsample of N = 260). Results: Model fit was adequate for parents' appraisal. Parents' mental health ( p < 0.05) and undesirable life events ( p < 0.05) were the most important risk factors. The same model showed poorer fit when self-reported measures were used. Home life exerted a stronger protective effect on adolescents'/youths' mental health when reported by adolescents/youths. The negative effect of parents' mental health was significantly protected by home life in emotional [−0.14 (0.07)] and hyperactivity scores [−0.2 (0.08)]. Conclusions: Even in the presence of other factors, parents' mental health has an important effect on adolescents'/youths' mental health. Good levels of home life are protective, especially when adolescents'/youths' mental health is self-reported. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
