In today's world, the quality of rural living environments is a big deal, not just for China but globally. It's tied to how well the regional economy is doing. So, understanding what makes rural residents take part in making their environment better is key. This study used two theories: what we plan
In 2019, Australia rolled out a new national maternity strategy called Woman-centred care: Strategic directions for Australian maternity services. This policy is all about making sure moms-to-be feel safe, respected, and have plenty of choices when it comes to their care. It's based on four key valu
President Donald Trump is making big changes in the federal workforce. He's going after employees who focus on diversity and inclusion, as well as those who work on policies. This is happening very quickly, just days after he started his new term. These moves are worrying federal workers and their u
Imagine a world beneath the ocean's surface where some corals are not just stationary builders of vast reefs, but active explorers. Corals are usually known for their diverse shapes, colors, and immobility. Most of the over 6, 000 known coral species are colonial, forming dense communities where ind
Donald Trump recently launched a digital meme, reportedly adding billions to his fortune overnight. But hold on—those numbers are based on theoretical crypto prices that can't be cashed out yet. Forbes values them at zero. However, crypto assets Trump has sold did boost his real cash. Take World Lib
You know those virtual reality gloves that make you feel like you're holding an object? Well, imagine a wearable device that's designed to directly interact with your nerves by mimicking touch. Researchers have created a clever little platform that uses advanced manufacturing techniques to combine c
Ever wondered if squeezing and moving could help beat the nerve pain from breast cancer chemo? Researchers did, and they found out something interesting. They gathered people who had numbness in their hands and feet from chemo, and split them into two groups. One group tried combining squeezing (com
Scientists are always on the hunt for materials that can conduct ions really well. One great candidate is something called Li10GeP2S12, or LGPS for short. This stuff is super special because it can conduct ions like crazy. Researchers often use something called AIMD simulations to watch how lithium
Imagine if detecting skin cancer could be as simple as snapping a picture. Scientists are working on just that! They're using a special kind of computer program called convolutional neural networks (CNNs), and these aren't your average programs. They're like super-smart detectives that can spot patt
Ever pondered how scientists figure out if a virus is super contagious? They've got a clever trick using tiny, glow-in-the-dark molecules called probes. These probes latch onto the outer shell of viruses and light up when they attach. Scientists discovered that a snippet of protein from the flu viru
