Psychological preparation of parents will help their children

20.02.2013

A XNUMX-year study has proven that parenting training will be the key to preventing emotional disorders in children. The results of one of the oldest studies in the field of preventing childhood depression have been summed up. Scientists have evaluated the long-term effects of early intervention to prevent neurological disorders in children.

The study was led by Dr. Ron Rapey, director of the Center for Mental Health at Macquarie University (Sydney, Australia). He made a report on the program of psychological prevention among parents of preschool children. The results showed that, in general, children whose parents participated in the prevention program were less prone to such nervous disorders as anxiety and depression.

"Most of the preventive programs aimed at developing the psychology of school-age children are implemented at school. However, our studies have shown that it is necessary to work with parents and do this before the child first begins to show signs of anxiety. Only such work can give a good result," says Dr. Rapey. The study provides convincing evidence of the correctness of the scientist's opinion. "Over the past 10 years, the number of preventive programs aimed at preventing anxiety in children has increased significantly. Given the low cost of such interventions and their excellent results, it can be argued that they are quite promising," sums up Dr. Reypi.

The existence of an entropy rule for quantum entanglement has been proven 09.05.2024

Quantum mechanics continues to amaze us with its mysterious phenomena and unexpected discoveries. Recently, Bartosz Regula from the RIKEN Center for Quantum Computing and Ludovico Lamy from the University of Amsterdam presented a new discovery that concerns quantum entanglement and its relation to entropy. Quantum entanglement plays an important role in modern quantum information science and technology. However, the complexity of its structure makes understanding and managing it challenging. Regulus and Lamy's discovery shows that quantum entanglement follows an entropy rule similar to that for classical systems. This discovery opens new perspectives in the field of quantum information science and technology, deepening our understanding of quantum entanglement and its connection to thermodynamics. The results of the study indicate the possibility of reversibility of entanglement transformations, which could greatly simplify their use in various quantum technologies. Opening a new rule ... >>

Energy from space for Starship 08.05.2024

Producing solar energy in space is becoming more feasible with the advent of new technologies and the development of space programs. The head of the startup Virtus Solis shared his vision of using SpaceX's Starship to create orbital power plants capable of powering the Earth. Startup Virtus Solis has unveiled an ambitious project to create orbital power plants using SpaceX's Starship. This idea could significantly change the field of solar energy production, making it more accessible and cheaper. The core of the startup's plan is to reduce the cost of launching satellites into space using Starship. This technological breakthrough is expected to make solar energy production in space more competitive with traditional energy sources. Virtual Solis plans to build large photovoltaic panels in orbit, using Starship to deliver the necessary equipment. However, one of the key challenges ... >>

New method for creating powerful batteries 08.05.2024

With the development of technology and the expanding use of electronics, the issue of creating efficient and safe energy sources is becoming increasingly urgent. Researchers at the University of Queensland have unveiled a new approach to creating high-power zinc-based batteries that could change the landscape of the energy industry. One of the main problems with traditional water-based rechargeable batteries was their low voltage, which limited their use in modern devices. But thanks to a new method developed by scientists, this drawback has been successfully overcome. As part of their research, scientists turned to a special organic compound - catechol. It turned out to be an important component that can improve battery stability and increase its efficiency. This approach has led to a significant increase in the voltage of zinc-ion batteries, making them more competitive. According to scientists, such batteries have several advantages. They have b ... >>

Alcohol content of warm beer 07.05.2024

Beer, as one of the most common alcoholic drinks, has its own unique taste, which can change depending on the temperature of consumption. A new study by an international team of scientists has found that beer temperature has a significant impact on the perception of alcoholic taste. The study, led by materials scientist Lei Jiang, found that at different temperatures, ethanol and water molecules form different types of clusters, which affects the perception of alcoholic taste. At low temperatures, more pyramid-like clusters form, which reduces the pungency of the "ethanol" taste and makes the drink taste less alcoholic. On the contrary, as the temperature increases, the clusters become more chain-like, resulting in a more pronounced alcoholic taste. This explains why the taste of some alcoholic drinks, such as baijiu, can change depending on temperature. The data obtained opens up new prospects for beverage manufacturers, ... >>

Down's syndrome cured in mice 05.10.2007

Children with Down syndrome have an extra 21st chromosome (instead of two - three), which affects their appearance, and also reduces memory, learning ability, rational activity to varying degrees, and makes it difficult to master the language. A few years ago it became clear that these neurological disorders are associated with excessive synthesis in the brain of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), which inhibits the activity of neurons.

An employee of Stanford University (USA) Craig Garner and his colleagues, using genetic engineering, brought out a line of mice with an extra 21st chromosome. They also had impaired memory and learning ability. Various GABA antagonists have been tested in these mice, with pentylenetetrazole being the most effective. This medication was used in the United States in the 50s against depression and psychosis, but it soon became clear that it causes epileptic seizures.

Experiments have shown that mice with Down's syndrome, given a small dose of pentylenetetrazole, become smarter and quickly learn to find their way through a maze. Moreover, the effect persisted for three months after treatment (on the scale of human life, this is about nine years).

The authors of the study believe that it will be several more years before the start of treatment for people with Down syndrome.
