Stock market valuation: Don’t hate the player, hate the game!
There is great importance in understanding how the overvaluation of a corporate company impacts the market. Shushu Liao of Kühne Logistics University in Germany and her co-author Marco Errico have shown that if investors were to have access to equal and accurate financial information for their investments, overvaluation wouldn’t be at the mercy of corporate managers. Consequently, overvalued financial reports […]

Sustainable building strategies to combat climate change in Africa
In response to climate change, we often resort to energy-intensive heating and cooling systems to maintain thermal comfort within buildings. However, passive solar systems (which harness solar radiation) and smart building designs (that create optimal indoor conditions) are now being adopted across Africa to reduce energy consumption. Building on previous investigations into passive solar systems and design, Michael Santos and […]

Multiple benefits of molasses nutrient blocks for cattle: Helping the fight against climate change
In Southeast Asia, with its burgeoning economies, smallholder livestock production is in a promising transition stage, yet overall remains inefficient. Dr Peter Windsor, Professor Emeritus at the Sydney School of Veterinary Science at the University of Sydney, Australia, and a team of researchers in Laos, have adapted the humble feed block into an effective multi-intervention livestock development strategy that could […]
The cold, dark secrets of the Universe in few-body physics
Understanding fundamental processes in physics, particularly physics beyond the Standard Model, is no easy task. Experiments and theories looking for new general theories to describe many of the phenomena that are missing in the Standard Model focus on particle physics experiments at places like CERN. Professor Jesús Pérez Ríos of the atomic, molecular, and optical (AMO) physics group at Stony […]

Predicting and managing flood risks from extreme rain events in Japan
Japan has seen an increase in extreme rain events in recent years, resulting in catastrophic flooding with substantial loss of human life and destruction of property. As climate change is likely to increase the severity and frequency of flooding, governments and other organisations are rightly becoming more concerned. Research conducted by Shakti P.C. and colleagues at Japan’s National Research Institute […]

Cleft lip simulation: A step closer to achieving surgical excellence
Surgical training is a long and laborious process, traditionally performed by learning to operate on actual patients under a senior surgeon’s supervision. However, with surgical techniques getting ever more sophisticated and standards of care increasing, it is not always easy for surgical trainees to access the required number of surgical cases. Surgical simulation has recently become the solution to this […]

Valuable insights into caring for women with heavy menstrual bleeding
Heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB) is a common problem for women, but that doesn’t make it necessarily bearable. Its symptoms can be debilitating. Significant research by Professor Joe Kai and a multi-disciplinary team at the University of Nottingham and the University of Birmingham, UK, has provided invaluable insight into treatments for HMB and the critical role of the primary care physician. […]

Empowering communities in the face of grand challenges: The critical role of local food systems and democratized science
Feeding a rapidly growing global population is nearly impossible. Food production is increasingly controlled by powerful organizations, climate change is negatively impacting food production, inequality is growing globally, and menacing geopolitical shifts are likely to make matters worse. Dr William Lacy, a leading sociologist and Professor Emeritus in the Department of Human Ecology at the University of California Davis, USA, […]
Back to the future: The Secret of Kells brings the past to life
It’s tempting to think that our global, multimedia age is the most multicultural and visually literate in history. However, a new study by Lisabeth Buchelt, of the University of Nebraska—Omaha probes the relationship between a contemporary Irish animated film and the 1,200-year-old masterpiece of Celtic art that inspired it. She finds that the modern age is not the first to […]
