In this study the authors look at the use of Indole 3 Carbinol as a treatment for Type II Diabetes finding that it may be an effective treatment.

In this study, the authors sample water at different points closer and closer to two different airports to determine if these airports may be contributing to water pollution, specifically by measuring metals, nitrates, and pH.

This study focused on finding more sustainable growing methods that reduce chemical fertilizer or water usage and can be used at the household level for garden plants. Metrics for healthy plant growth were height at first bloom, growing time, and survival rate. The Deep Water Culture (DWC) treatment for garden cress plants significantly increased the height at first bloom compared to the control group. For rates of surviving plants, the treatments had little effect on garden cress, but the Eggshell Grounds, Wick System, and DWC system groups outperformed the control group for marigolds.

Cannabidiol (CBD) is a chemical extracted from cannabis and shown by some studies to alleviate the symptoms of many mental disorders, especially major depressive disorder. The authors hypothesized that chronic treatments with purified CBD through oral administration would relieve depression-associated behaviors in normal healthy rats under adverse conditions. A statistical analysis of the experimental data suggested that long-term consumption of CBD could elicit depression associated symptoms in normal rats without depression. The results imply that people should consume CBD-containing products with extreme caution and highlight the need to carefully monitor the use of CBD in health care products.

This study examines how socioeconomic status (SES) influences student mathematics achievement across countries by conducting multiple regression analyses to the Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) 2019 dataset.

This study examined whether eye color affects photophobia and vision in elementary school students and staff, finding no significant relationship between eye color, light sensitivity, or visual acuity. However, photophobia was common across age groups, highlighting the need for greater awareness of light sensitivity in learning environments.

Paper found that heat waves in India are linked to lower household income, agricultural income, and consumption, with agriculture being affected the most. It also suggests farm workers may adapt to extreme heat over time by increasing labor inputs despite rising temperatures.

This study used an improved CMS-seq method to profile 5hmC in ormalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded (FFPE) samples from HNC tumors and adjacent normal tissues, identifying three genes (PRKD2, HADHA, and AIPL1) with promising potential as biomarkers for Head and neck cancer (HNC) diagnosis.

Aquaponics (the combination of aquatic plant farming with fish production) is an innovative farming practice, but the fish that are typically used, like tilapia, are expensive and space-consuming to cultivate. Medina and Alvarez explore other options test if mosquitofish are a viable option in the aquaponic cultivation of herbs and microgreens.

Here the authors investigated the effects of natural coagulants on reducing the turbidity of water samples from the Tennessee River Watershed. They found that turbidity reduction was higher at lower temperatures for eggshells. They then projected and mapped turbidity reactions under two climate change scenarios and three future time spans for eggshells. They found site-specific and time-vary turbidity reactions using natural coagulants could be useful for optimal water treatment plans.
