Trying to connect young adults and the concept of security may seem to be a moot point because the outcome is already known: Young adults are not interested in security matters.

Factors Affecting Residential Energy-Saving Renovation Decisions
The industrial, transportation, residential, and commercial sectors add to global energy use. Specifically, the residential sector is responsible for about 21% of global energy consumption, or 17% of CO2 emissions. Increased energy consumption poses substantial risks to public health and the natural environment. Therefore, more efficient energy consumption across the entire energy chain can assist in environmental protection, climate change mitigation, and quality-of-life improvement, combined with money savings and increased national energy security.

Mechanisms by Which Smartphone Use Affects Sleep
Sleep quality is a person's subjective assessment of how well they feel they have slept. There has been increasing concern about sleep-related problems (e.g., sleep efficiency, sleep latency, or sleep quality) due to the importance of sleep in the general health of the population, especially mental health. Problematic smartphone use (PSU) is defined as smartphone use associated with at least some element of dysfunctional use, such as anxiety when the smartphone is unavailable or abandonment of other activities due to smartphone use. Considering the widespread use of smartphones among the population and their suitability for use in bed, many health professionals have been interested in whether there is a link between increased screen use and sleep problems.
