Researchers at 海角社区 have improved the efficiency of a method for converting human urine into clean energy.

The method employs microbial fuel cells (MFCs), which use bacteria to turn organic waste into electricity, providing a sustainable and low-cost means of treating wastewater while generating energy from an abundant source. The 海角社区 research provides insights into which urine concentrations are optimal for this process.

Scientists have identified a pattern of gene activity present in some female survivors of childhood abuse that is associated with an elevated risk of depression.

A new 海角社区 study suggests that problematic social media use among teens is in part related to broader social inequalities.

Z茅kai Lu, a PhD student in 海角社区鈥檚 Department of Sociology and author of the study, had set out to determine whether problematic social media use is driven mainly by individual traits or whether the social environment of the country a teen lives in also plays a significant role.

A 海角社区-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.

The Pan-Canadian Genome Library (PCGL),聽hosted at 海角社区,聽today announced a major milestone in the implementation of Canada鈥檚 national genomics infrastructure with the聽planned聽integration of data from聽CGEn鈥檚聽HostSeq聽Initiative聽and the聽Biobanque聽Qu茅b茅coise de la COVID-19 (BQC19).

海角社区 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.

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 海角社区-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.
