Intersectionality exposes the power structures within the marketplace and increases marketing’s benefit to society and its ability to reflect and address the complexities of real-world behavior.

A research team led by MedUni Vienna has investigated AC102, a new active substance that offers hope of an effective treatment for acute sudden hearing loss. The latest results have been published in the scientific journal "Cell Death & Disease". Initial findings from preclinical trials could represent a significant advancement in the treatment of acute hearing disorders.

A recent study suggests that the human brain might process language in a way similar to advanced AI language models, by using flexible, context-aware patterns instead of fixed rules. Researchers studied brain activity in the inferior frontal gyrus as participants listened to a podcast, finding geometric patterns in brain activity that closely matched those in AI language models. This similarity allowed researchers to predict how the brain would respond to new words, showing that the brain represents language in a dynamic and context-driven way. These insights could deepen our understanding of how language works in the brain and inspire future improvements in language-processing AI.

Personalized education, powered by educational technology and AI, is revolutionizing learning experiences in the digital age. This review examines recent advancements in personalized educational data mining across four key areas: educational recommendation, cognitive diagnosis, knowledge tracing, and learning analysis. The paper presents a structured taxonomy, compile datasets, and identify future research directions, highlighting data mining’s pivotal role in optimizing learning processes, and fostering innovation in personalized education.

Yogurt has had a few banner years as research continues to support its many health benefits, including the US Food and Drug Administration’s recent support of the qualified health claim that yogurt in the diet may reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes. A recent randomized control crossover study in the Journal of Dairy Science, published by Elsevier, is adding to the list of dairy’s health advantages, demonstrating that a dairy-based, protein-rich breakfast not only keeps you fuller—compared with a carb-rich meal or skipping breakfast entirely—it also helps boost concentration in the critical first hours of the day.
