| Segregation in American schools still problematic, despite best efforts Posted: 01 Nov 2013 09:55 AM PDT As American schools struggle with issues of race, diversity and achievement, a new study has split the difference in the ongoing discussion of resegregation. Yes, black, white and Hispanic students were less likely to share classrooms in 2010 than in 1993, but no, that increase in segregation is usually not the result of waning efforts to reduce it.  |
| Study explains how a job-market system lands couples in the same city Posted: 01 Nov 2013 08:24 AM PDT A new study in the growing "market design" field of economics explains how a job-market algorithm helps land couples in the same locations.  |
| Problem of gender differences on physics assessments remains unsolved Posted: 01 Nov 2013 08:24 AM PDT Women consistently score lower than men on common assessments of conceptual understanding of physics. Despite previous claims that the causes of this gender gap have been pinpointed, the problem remains unsolved and poorly understood.  |
| Pregnant women who snore at higher risk for c-sections, delivering smaller babies Posted: 31 Oct 2013 12:34 PM PDT Snoring during pregnancy may be more than a nuisance -- mothers who snored three or more nights a week had a higher risk of poor delivery outcomes.  |
| Scientists discover why newborns get sick so often Posted: 31 Oct 2013 09:52 AM PDT If you think cold and flu season is tough, trying being an infant. A new research finding sheds light on why newborns appear to be so prone to getting sick with viruses -- they are born without one of the key proteins needed to protect them.  |
| Long-term use of prescription painkillers increases risk of depression Posted: 31 Oct 2013 09:47 AM PDT The study has discovered a link between chronic use of pain-relieving medication and increase in the risk of developing major depression.  |
| Residents weigh global benefits, local risks in views of climate change measures Posted: 31 Oct 2013 09:46 AM PDT A survey of Indiana residents tracks public acceptance of potential measures to address climate change in their communities.  |
| Women working in Head Start programs report poor physical, mental health Posted: 31 Oct 2013 09:46 AM PDT Women working in Head Start, the nation's largest federally funded early childhood education program, report higher than expected levels of physical and mental health problems.  |
| Stress eaters may compensate by eating less when times are good Posted: 31 Oct 2013 06:04 AM PDT When faced with stress, some people seem to lose their appetite while others reach for the nearest sweet, salty, or fatty snack. Conventional wisdom tells us that stress eaters are the ones who need to regulate their bad habits, but new research suggests that stress eaters show a dynamic pattern of eating behavior that could have benefits in non-stressful situations.  |
| Europeans do not consume enough vitamins, minerals Posted: 31 Oct 2013 06:03 AM PDT A study has analyzed intake of 17 basic micronutrients in people's diets across eight European countries. The results reveal that, although vitamin D is the most extreme case, European citizens - across all age and sex ranges - do not consume sufficient iron, calcium, zinc, vitamin B1 (thiamine), vitamin B2 (riboflavin), vitamin B6 and folic acid.  |
