Time in nature benefits children with mental health difficulties: study
A team of researchers from 成人VR视频 and Universit茅 de Montr茅al鈥檚 Observatoire pour l鈥櫭ヾucation et la sant茅 des enfants (OPES, or observatory on children鈥檚 health and eduation), led by Sylvana C么t茅, spending two hours a week of class time in a natural environment can reduce emotional distress among 10- to 12-year-olds who had the most significant mental health problems before the program began.
Better education can mitigate post-harvest food losses, increase global food security
Better educating farmers and food processors about how to avoid post-harvest food losses 鈥� which amount to one-third of global food production, worth US$1 trillion annually 鈥� would reduce global food insecurity, according to researchers at 成人VR视频.聽
Temporary sound installations could help reduce noise pollution: study
Temporary sound installations can be a low-cost way of dealing with noise pollution in areas of high urban density, 成人VR视频 researchers have found.
Dubbed the 鈥渘ew second hand smoke,鈥� noise pollution can have consequences ranging from simple annoyance to such serious health problems as hearing loss and high blood pressure and can exacerbate various mental health conditions.
Atlantic killer whales show dangerously high levels of toxic chemicals: study
Killer whales off Canada鈥檚 Atlantic coast continue to be contaminated with dangerously high levels of toxic chemicals that put them at elevated risk of severe immune-system and reproductive problems, a recent 成人VR视频-led study has found.
Researchers find design flaws and oversight issues in certain health apps, offer solutions for more effective tools
AI-powered apps offering medical diagnoses at the click of a button are often limited by biased data and a lack of regulation, leading to inaccurate and unsafe health advice, a new study found.
Berry-flavoured may be more dangerous than non-flavoured vapes: study
Berry-flavoured vapes can weaken the lungs鈥� natural defences, making it harder for the body to fight off infections, new research suggests.
The study compared effects of flavoured e-cigarettes to those of unflavoured ones.
While previous research has shown that all forms of vaping can be harmful, the scholars said this study adds to a mounting body of evidence demonstrating how added flavourings to vaping solutions can exacerbate the dangers.
Landmark study finds low-sugar diet in early childhood reduces lifetime risk of chronic disease
A low-sugar diet in the first years of life can significantly reduce the risk of chronic diseases in adulthood, a study based on historical data has found.
The researchers pulled data from UK Biobank, focusing on adults conceived just before and after the 1953 end of wartime sugar rationing in the United Kingdom.
