New research reveals how low confidence drives feedback-seeking, enhancing learning with insights for education and rehabilitation strategies. A new study from co-lead author Christopher J. Cagna, PhD, of Kessler Foundation examines the determinants of feedback-seeking behavior and their impact on learning. In collaboration with fellow co-lead author, Jamil P. Bhanji, PhD, of Rutgers University, the
Adolescents who snore frequently were more likely to exhibit behavior problems such as inattention, rule-breaking, and aggression, but they do not have any decline in their cognitive abilities, according to a new study. This is the largest study to date tracking snoring in children from elementary school through their mid-teen years and it provides an

Sentences contain subtle hints in their grammar that tell young children about the meaning of new words, according to new research. As young children, how do we build our vocabulary? Even by age 1, many infants seem to think that if they hear a new word, it means something different from the words they already

Automated vehicles promise to improve urban mobility, but passenger trust remains a challenge. Providing timely, passenger-specific explanations for automated vehicle decisions can bridge this trust gap. To address this, researchers introduced TimelyTale, a dataset designed to capture real-world driving scenarios and passenger explanation needs. It would be nice to see this multimodal dataset approach for
While atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) levels are higher than ever before, an estimated 2.5 billion additional people are expected to integrate into urban areas worldwide by 2050, making reduced urban CO2 emissions a priority. A group of scientists investigated the effects of urban form, specifically at the building and street level, on urban carbon emissions
More children have overweight in regions with high rates of single parenthood, low education levels, low income and high child poverty. The pandemic may also have reinforced this trend.

Researchers have revealed that the introduction of a new ball made from a small, easy-to-grip material in U15 girls' handball has led to improved attack efficiency compared with the conventional ball. However, the goalkeeper save rate was lower, indicating the need for technical and tactical coaching for goalkeepers. Researchers at University of Tsukuba have revealed
With the 'time-traveling ability' of archaeogenetic studies it has become possible to shed light onto the dynamic past of human populations world-wide. Integrated with archaeological and anthropological data, it has been shown that fundamental changes in lifestyle, culture, technical know-how and social systems were often linked to the movement and interaction of people. With the
**Title: "Innovative Cooling Strategies for Urban Heatwaves"**
As heatwaves intensify, urban areas are increasingly seeking effective strategies to maintain cooler neighborhoods. A pioneering tool has recently been deployed in Houston, revealing tailored solutions that address the unique heat challenges faced by diverse communities within the city. This innovative approach offers cities a pathway to not only mitigate heat impacts but also enhance community resilience and well-being. By leveraging data-driven insights, this tool identifies specific cooling interventions that can be implemented based on local conditions, ensuring equitable distribution of resources and protection against extreme temperatures. Embracing such strategies could transform urban landscapes into more livable environments during scorching summers
**Title: Tackling Land Degradation and Poverty in Rural Africa**
In rural Africa, the intricate relationship between people and their land is under siege due to escalating environmental degradation. This insightful research highlights innovative strategies to combat both environmental decline and poverty, emphasizing sustainable practices that restore ecosystems while uplifting local communities. By focusing on community-driven approaches, the study reveals how ecological resilience can directly enhance livelihoods, ensuring a brighter future for those who depend on the land. These pivotal strategies not only address immediate challenges but also foster long-term sustainability, creating a harmonious balance between economic development and environmental conservation in vulnerable regions
**Summary for "Guidelines on Opioid Prescription for Children and Adolescents":**
The American Academy of Pediatrics introduces its groundbreaking guidelines for primary care providers regarding opioid prescriptions in children and adolescents, prioritizing opioid overdose prevention alongside responsible pain management. This essential framework provides clear protocols to assess pain effectively, identify at-risk patients, and implement safer prescribing practices. It emphasizes the importance of considering non-opioid alternatives and educating families about the risks associated with opioid use. By equipping healthcare professionals with practical tools and knowledge, these guidelines aim to enhance patient safety while ensuring that young patients receive appropriate care for acute pain challenges
