Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Although causal theories of aging differ considerably across disciplines, the common denominator in published papers on the health and function of the aged is to be found in the methods section. The instrumental activities of daily living (IADL), used to determine the independence of the aged living in the community, are utilized both at a clinical and population level. While there has been a cross-disciplinary need for a scale to measure sub-populations, many scholars have been reticent to use the existing IADL items across geographical backgrounds. The results of this study, which surveys 236 physicians from 11 different cultures on the importance of individual IADL items, suggests the IADL may be useful as a universal measure of function.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
