Winter climate change is affecting the carbon exchange of northern coniferous forests, but the response depends upon reindeer grazing, according to a new study from the University of Oulu, Finland. The study compared areas with ongoing reindeer grazing to areas where grazing has been excluded for 25 years at Oulanka and as long as 55 years at Kevo.

Northwestern University scientists have developed a groundbreaking lifestyle medicine program that uses three wearable sensors — a necklace, a wristband and a body camera — to capture real-world eating behavior in unprecedented detail and with respect for privacy.

 The researchers verified that a magnetic field may regulate the Monascus pigments (MPs) and citrinin synthesis in Monascus purpureus by modulating intracellular iron content, suggesting that this research offers novel insights into the regulation of microbial secondary metabolism using magnetic fields.

A new study by researchers at Kaunas University of Technology reveals that Lithuania’s youngest political generation is becoming more conservative and community-oriented – contrary to the assumption that younger people are always more liberal. Analysing data from 11,199 respondents over a decade, the researchers found that values like security, stability, and tradition have become increasingly important, even among those raised in a free, democratic Lithuania. These insights challenge existing value-change theories and may help educators and policymakers better support young people navigating uncertainty in a rapidly changing world.

This review article examines the state-of-the-art of EMI-AM and discusses challenges and opportunities of the technology in many sectors, from medicine to security and industrial monitoring.

A comprehensive review published in the Journal of Dermatologic Science and Cosmetic Technology delves into the intricate mechanisms and cutting-edge applications for understanding and managing Sensitive Skin Syndrome (SSS), a prevalent but often misunderstood condition affecting a significant portion of the global population.

 

The article, entitled “Sensitive Skin Syndrome: Research Progress on Mechanisms and Applications,” synthesizes current scientific knowledge to explore the multifactorial nature of SSS, which is characterized by subjective symptoms like stinging, burning, and itching in response to stimuli that normally should not provoke such reactions.

A new review highlights the potential of bioelectrical impedance technology (BIT) as a non-invasive tool for diagnosing and monitoring neurological disorders. The study underscores its real-time capabilities in stroke, brain tumors, epilepsy, and other brain conditions, paving the way for more precise and personalized care.
