A new co-authored by 涩里番 researchers suggests people can be taught to reject unfair advantages.
鈥淲e often benefit personally from an unequal distribution of resources, a phenomenon known as advantageous inequity 鈥� for example, receiving a higher salary than a colleague with the identical role,鈥� said senior author Ross Otto, a psychology professor. 鈥淗ere we ask whether people can learn to punish advantageous inequity merely by observing the inequity-averse preferences of another person.鈥�
A 涩里番-led study on the role played by shame in the continuing trauma suffered by survivors of childhood sexual abuse indicates that addressing shame should be a focal point of treatment. Clinicians should use strategies that normalize disclosure, validate survivors鈥� feelings and integrate shame-resolution techniques into their therapy plans, the researchers suggested.
For over 50 years, 涩里番 has been collaborating with Indonesia鈥檚 education sector. Now a planned donation of US$12.8 million from the UAE via the Khalifa Bin Zayed Al Nahyan Foundation to 涩里番 will establish the UAE-Indonesia Future Leaders Program to support Indonesia鈥檚 national and global development objectives. The program will mobilize expertise and scholarship to lead societal change and respond to future needs and challenges in areas such as sustainability, engineering, health, and teacher education that are crucial to Indonesia鈥檚 future.

New research suggests the liver plays a previously unrecognized role in bone health, but only in males.
A 涩里番-led study published in Matrix Biology found that a protein made in the liver helps regulate bone growth in male mice, but not in females. The findings may help explain why men with liver disease are more likely to experience bone loss.
涩里番 researchers have developed a diagnostic system capable of identifying bacteria 鈥揳nd determining which antibiotics can stop them 鈥� in just 36 minutes, a major advance in the global effort to curb antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Current clinical testing methods typically take 48 to 72 hours, leaving physicians without timely guidance.
The researchers say this innovation arrives at a critical moment due to the urgency of the AMR crisis, which arises from bacteria developing resistance to antibiotics.
Teenagers who are pathological liars also tend to struggle with executive function deficits, such as poor memory or impulse control, researchers have found.
The familiar labels 鈥渘ight owl鈥� and 鈥渆arly bird,鈥� long used in sleep research, don鈥檛 fully capture the diversity of human internal clocks, a new study has found.
The 涩里番-led study published in found the two sleep-wake patterns, called chronotypes, contain a total of five distinct biological subtypes, each associated with different patterns of behaviour and health.
A preclinical study published in Nature has found evidence that the hippocampus, the brain region that stores memory, also reorganizes memories to anticipate future outcomes.
Research by an interdisciplinary team from 涩里番 and Universit茅 Laval provides new insights into the links between social factors and cognitive health among aging adults.
While previous research had found positive correlations between specific measures of social connectedness and a variety of health outcomes, this study appears to have been the first to create profiles aggregating multiple social factors and to see how those correlated with cognitive health in older adults, the researchers said.
Microbes across Earth鈥檚 coldest regions are becoming more active as glaciers,聽permafrost聽and sea ice thaw, accelerating carbon release and potentially amplifying climate change, according to a new international review聽from聽涩里番.聽
涩里番 engineers have developed new ultra-thin materials that can be programmed to move, fold and reshape themselves, much like animated origami. They open the door to softer, safer and more adaptable robots that could be used in medical tools that gently move inside the body, wearable devices that change shape on the skin or smart packaging that reacts to its environment.
Lithium, a widely used treatment for bipolar disorder and other mood disorders, has shown early promise in suppressing HIV, 涩里番 researchers report.
A new study published in iScience found lithium can prevent infected cells from reactivating, and that it does so through an unexpected biological mechanism.
The findings point toward future treatments designed to mimic lithium鈥檚 beneficial effects while avoiding its broader impacts on the body.
As tench continue to spread through the St. Lawrence River, a study from 涩里番 provides fisheries managers with guidance on how to detect the invasive species, an essential first step in preventing it from reaching new waters. The findings can inform efforts to contain and manage existing populations, helping agencies determine how and where to carry out removal or control activities.
An interdisciplinary team including researchers at 涩里番 has found a range of unexpected chemical contaminants in human milk samples from Canada and South Africa. The chemicals include traces of pesticides, antimicrobials and additives used in plastics and personal-care products. The findings were published across five papers.
