Behind the Paper
The real stories behind the latest research papers, from conception to publication, the highs and the lows
Gender differences in the association between discrimination, mental health, and peer support among ethnic/racial minority adolescents
Peers play a significant role in adolescent development and mental health, but research has found mixed findings on whether peer support is protective factor against discrimination. This study found that peer support was protective for girls but a risk factor for boys in the face of discrimination.
Looking Upstream: Searching for the Conditions That Precede Psychological Collapse
Some people carry an enormous weight and remain whole. Others come apart under far less. Why does one person meet hardship and find a way to keep going, while another, who appears to have more, quietly loses the thread?
Bubbleverse, a metaphor into birthing experiences
This metaphor grew from participants' narratives about pregnancy, the birthing bubble, and the baby bubble they experienced after birth.
Silencing a Cancer Driver: Locked Nucleic Acid-Modified siRNA Treatment Provides a New Path for FXR1-Targeted Cancer Therapy
RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) are key drivers of cancer but remain largely undruggable. Using nanoparticle-delivered LNA-siRNA, we achieved selective inhibition of FXR1, demonstrating the feasibility of precision RBP targeting in preclinical cancer models.

Trauma exposure, Post traumatic stress disorder, Resilience and Post traumatic growth among refugees in Kyaka II settlement, Western Uganda
Uganda is a leading refugee host country in Sub-Saharan Africa. Whereas some refugees show remarkable resilience amidst various adversities before, during, and after flight from their home countries, others suffer post trauma challenges such as PTSD while others go on to experience positive outcomes
Digital skills won't save us if the problems stem from infrastructures
Digitalisation is widely regarded as essential for the welfare state. Concerns have been raised that many citizens are at risk of exclusion from public services as a result of the rapid digital transformation. It is tempting to attribute these problems to citizens' insufficient digital skills.
A spectral sensor that decodes light before sending data out
Leveraging the computation capability of the sensor itself, we present a spectral sensor that directly decodes application-relevant spectral information from light. This approach bypasses a large amount of raw sensory data, enabling more efficient spectroscopic recognition.
