Exploring the most important factors related to self-perceived health among older men in Sweden: a cross-sectional study using machine learning by David C Currow, Magnus Per Ekström, Max Olsson

“…Low levels of symptoms, good sleep quality, regular exercise, alcohol consumption and a body mass index between 22 and 28 were associated with better self-perceived health.Conclusions Symptoms are more strongly related to self-perceived health than health conditions, which suggests that the impacts of health conditions are mediated through symptoms, which could be important targets to improve self-perceived health. …”

Study of different thermal management systems for traction batteries to obtain vehicle lightweighting by Giulia Sandrini, Daniel Chindamo, Marco Gadola, Andrea Candela, Paolo Magri

“…The simulations showed that the air-cooled system leads to greater lightweighting, but it makes the battery cells work far from 20 °C (optimal operating temperature) and therefore it could lead to greater battery cell degradation and its field of application must be limited to vehicles operating in fleets, with predictable mission; this can be overcome by using an appropriate PCM-based cooling system, stearyl alcohol. Furthermore, using a PCM, glycerol, with a melting point close to the optimal operating temperature of the batteries, allows to reduce the cell degradation.…”
