Historical redlining, a 1930s–1960s residential segregation policy, has been linked to shorter survival time in people with breast cancer. New research published by Wiley online in CANCER reveals that this association has changed over time, with disparities narrowing until recently.

Individuals with strong attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms, related to inefficient cognitive executive function, may experience a surprising benefit: a natural inclination toward a type of intuitive thinking that supports creative breakthroughs, according to a new study from Drexel University researchers.

Celebrity actors, musicians and athletes are promoting their own alcohol products on Instagram without clear disclosure of advertising content - and almost all posts are visible to underage users, according to new research from La Trobe University’s Centre for Alcohol Policy Research.  

Researchers at University of Tsukuba used virtual reality (VR) to demonstrate that pedestrians' behaviors, such as stopping or turning their heads, can induce gaze following (the "honey-pot effect") among individuals walking behind them, thereby substantially increasing awareness of nearby public displays. However, these socially driven, momentary glances rarely result in meaningful comprehension of display content. Moreover, no cultural differences were observed in these responses among the 18 participants studied.

In recent years, popular culture has made ‘boundaries’ a saviour, touted as the way to prevent burnout at work and fallout with friends. But how do we make them, and what makes a boundary ‘healthy’?

A new study shows that sustainable finance relies on trust, but that trust challenges are increasingly focused on ESG rating providers, creating both a solution to greenwashing and a new regulatory risk. By comparing how the EU and the UK regulate ESG rating firms, the authors find that policymakers use “enhanced self-regulation,” combining public oversight with industry-led rules, to build trust in emerging ESG markets and repair trust when credibility is questioned. The study’s key insight is that trust-building and trust-repair require regulatory interventions that target both the regulatory intermediaries and the substantive aspects of their activities. Where ESG raters both shape markets and must themselves be trusted, regulating these intermediaries supports a credible market-led green transition.

A study by University of Phoenix and published in Industry and Higher Education found that AI-integrated coursework and structured AI activities strengthens student learning and career skills.
