Have you ever imagined having a smart assistant that can understand and generate medical texts, images, and even videos? This is exactly what large language models (LLMs) are capable of. But how does this technology fit into the world of orthopedics? Orthopedics deals with bone and joint issues, wh
As the weather turns cold, the flu season kicks in, and this year, some people are wondering if cannabis could lend a helping hand. With more folks looking into natural remedies, cannabis is catching their attention. It’s all about how it’s consumed and the right amount. Smoking or vaping, while pop
Large language models (LLMs) have made a splash in software engineering, especially in code generation and finding coding issues. But they're not perfect. Enter LLM-based agents, which could lead to Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) by making LLMs more autonomous and capable of self-improvement.
For the past decade, China has been making waves in the scientific community with its significant rise in Science Citation Index (SCI) publications. Taking a closer look at data from the Web of Science's Science Citation Index Expanded (2010-2019), China has indeed taken the front seat, surpassing t
Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy have been tasked with cutting waste in government, including scientific research. Some studies, like those involving shrimp on treadmills or bobcat pee on rats, may seem pointless. But these experiments play a vital role in understanding the world around us. Science thr
In this wrap-up paper, we take a look back at the highs and lows of workplace health and safety research as the Scandinavian Journal of Work, Environment & Health turns 50 in 2024. Our focus is on what lies ahead in the next quarter-century. Workplace safety has come a long way, but there's still m
Ever felt like you walk faster when you're anxious? It's not just a feeling—research shows it's real. Scientists made some young adults walk on a track. Suddenly, they'd play a scary sound. Guess what? When the participants felt anxious, they sped up. Their steps got bigger, and they spent less time
Nanozymes, tiny materials that mimic enzymes, are becoming big news in science. They combine the best of both worlds: the unique properties of nanomaterials and the helpful functions of enzymes. This is the first time someone has used a special method called bibliometrics to study all the research d
In Gambia, rainfall is a bit of a wild card. Sometimes it buckets down, other times it's a mere trickle. This weather rollercoaster creates a big headache for rural folks: water shortages. When water is scarce, people might resort to unsafe practices, putting their health at risk. Researchers have
Have you ever thought about how language develops? Studies of homesigns, unique languages created by deaf people who have no access to a formal sign language, offer fascinating insights. Initially, researchers focused on homesigns from a gesture studies and child development angle. But now, sign lan
