Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

AbstractThis exploratory study used a convenience sample (n = 46) to verify the relationships between self-perceived environment (Measure of the Quality of the Environment) and subjective quality of life (Quality of Life Index) of community-dwelling older adults with physical disabilities. Global scores for environment and quality of life were not statistically related. However, the "Social support and attitudes" category of the environment was statistically related to quality of life. Also, the "Socioeconomic" quality of life was statistically associated with the environment. These exploratory findings might suggest that the social environment is more important than the physical environment in regards to the quality of life of this population.KEYWORDS: Environmentquality of lifephysical disabilitiesolder adults Additional informationNotes on contributorsJohanne DesrosiersJennifer R.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model 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.
