Migration in adolescence may double the risk of psychosis in later life

Migration in adolescence may double the risk of psychosis in later life
2024-10-02
(Press-News.org) Migration in adolescence may double the risk of psychosis in later life, and present even larger risk for migrants from racially minoritized young people, new data from five European countries suggests.

Iron nuggets in the Pinnacles unlock secrets of ancient and future climates

Iron nuggets in the Pinnacles unlock secrets of ancient and future climates
2024-10-02
Small iron-rich formations found within Western Australia’s Pinnacles, which are part of the world’s largest wind-blown limestone belt spanning more than 1000km, have provided new insights into Earth’s ancient climate and changing landscape.   The new research found the pinnacles were formed about 100,000 years ago during what was the wettest period in the past half-million years for the area, and very different from the Mediterranean climate Western Australia experiences today.   Lead author ...

Severe climate change may increase violence against women

2024-10-02
Countries affected by severe climate change may also have a higher prevalence of violence against women, finds a new study led by UCL researchers. The research, published in PLOS Climate, examined how climate shocks – such as storms, landslides and floods – might be linked to higher rates of intimate partner violence in the two years following the event. The researchers gathered data on intimate partner violence from 363 surveys conducted in 156 countries between 1993 and 2019, focusing on women who currently had a partner. Intimate partner violence was defined as any physical and/or sexual violence in ...

Higher-order interactions can remodel the landscape of complex systems

2024-10-02
Networks, which include nodes and connections, can help researchers model dynamic systems like the spread of disease or how the brain processes information. Pairwise interactions between nodes can represent links between individuals  — how two neurons connect with one another in the brain, for example — but scientists also study interactions involving three or more nodes. These higher-order interactions reveal changes and phenomena beyond those found by looking only at pairs.  Yuanzhao Zhang, an SFI Complexity Postdoctoral Fellow, has studied how higher-order ...

New cardiovascular disease risk marker discovered in older women

New cardiovascular disease risk marker discovered in older women
2024-10-02
Researchers at Karolinska Institutet have identified a new potential risk marker for cardiovascular disease in women. A new study shows an association between low levels of an anti-inflammatory antibody and the risk of heart attack and coronary heart disease. The study is published in the Journal of American College of Cardiology. Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death for both women and men in Sweden. However, research on women's heart health has historically been neglected. Women are affected later in life and have more risk factors such ...

Storms, floods, landslides associated with intimate partner violence against women two years later

2024-10-02
Climate change-related landslides, storms and floods are associated with intimate partner violence against women two years after the event, according to a study published October 2 in the open-access journal PLOS Climate by Jenevieve Mannell from University College London and colleagues. Low- and middle-income countries are disproportionately impacted by climate change’s acute (e.g., flooding) and chronic (e.g., rising sea levels) effects. Countries undergoing climate shocks are more likely to see increased intimate partner violence against women, possibly because climate disasters ...

How do ‘double skeptics’ affect government policy on climate and vaccination?

2024-10-02
Governments and other policymakers around the world wrestle with how to deal with people who are sceptical of official positions and guidelines, such as climate sceptics and antivaxxers. Earlier research has linked such scepticism to distrust of scientists among members of the public, while other studies have shown that it is difficult to erode sceptical attitudes that are psychologically motivated by factors such as bias against elite institutions or a conservative world view. New research from the University of Cambridge, reported in the journal PLOS ONE, suggests a more tailored approach could help ...

Toward brain-based prediction of recovery: how neuroimaging can help combat the substance-use epidemic

2024-10-02
The Brain & Behavior Research Foundation (BBRF) is hosting a free webinar, “Toward Brain-Based Prediction of Recovery: How Neuroimaging Can Help Combat the Substance-Use Epidemic” on Tuesday, October 8, 2024, at 2:00 pm ET. The presenter, Sarah W. Yip, Ph.D., MSc, is an Associate Professor of Psychiatry at Yale School of Medicine and the Director of the Yale Imaging and Psychopharmacology (YIP) Lab. Her lab uses neuropsychiatric research methods to identify biological mechanisms of mood disorders, addictions, and their treatments. The webinar ...

Beyond ‘one pore at a time’

Beyond ‘one pore at a time’
2024-10-02
Nanoporous membranes with atomic-scale holes smaller than one-billionth of a meter have powerful potential for decontaminating polluted water, pulling valuable metal ions from the water, or for osmotic power generators. But these exciting applications have been limited in part by the tedious process of tunneling individual sub-nanometer pores one by one. “If we are to ever scale up 2D material membranes to be relevant for applications outside the laboratory, the ‘one pore at a time’ method just isn't feasible,” said recent UChicago Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering (PME) PhD graduate Eli ...

New study explores how universities can improve student well-being

New study explores how universities can improve student well-being
2024-10-02
Historically, a university’s primary role has been to ensure students excel academically, but higher education can also change lives by supporting their well-being. Despite growing evidence of the importance of student well-being and an abundance of best practices, most institutions have yet to prioritize it as much as they do enrollment, graduation and grades.  A new study led by University of Maine researchers provides guidance on how institutions can support and enhance student well-being, and breaks down the various benefits for learners during and beyond their university career. It was published in PNAS Nexus, the ...
