Hong-Miao Lin, RNAbstract: Background and Objective: This systematic review evaluates the effectiveness of multi-domain interventions in enhancing the intrinsic capacity (IC) of older adults aged 65 and above. Methods: Following the PRISMA 2020 guidelines, a systematic search was conducted across six electronic databases for randomized controlled trials published between 2020 and 2025. Nine studies involving 4,723 participants were included. Results: The findings indicate that multi-domain interventions significantly improved overall IC for older adults. Physical activity (aerobic and resistance exercise) enhanced locomotor capacity, including muscle strength, balance, and gait. Cognitive training improved executive function and attention. Nutritional supplementation (e.g., high protein, Omega-3), combined with exercise, effectively increased muscle mass and reduced fall risks. Additionally, health education and empowerment strategies bolstered health literacy and exercise motivation. Conclusion: Intervention efficacy depends on participant adherence, program complexity, and baseline IC scores. Future research should standardize IC assessment tools and integrate community-based empowerment strategies to ensure sustainable outcomes. |

Jatinder SinghAbstract: The protection of workers’ rights depends not only on legal provisions but also on timely service delivery, especially for informal and construction workers. This paper examines the role of the Punjab Transparency and Accountability in Delivery of Public Services Act, 2018 in ensuring time-bound labour welfare services. Focusing on Sewa Kendras in Sangrur, Lehragaga, and Moonak, the study uses primary data from service users. It evaluates services such as construction worker registration, labour card renewal, pensions, maternity benefits, and education schemes. The findings show that although the Act provides clear timelines and accountability mechanisms, limited awareness and administrative delays reduce its effectiveness. The study concludes that improving awareness, transparency, and coordination is essential for better service delivery and protection of workers’ rights. |
