A new study shows that merely imagining a positive encounter with someone can make you like them better by engaging brain regions involved with learning and preference. The findings could have implications for psychotherapy, sports performance and more.
A new study from Ritsumeikan University reveals how everyday repairs and spatial adjustments help maintain autonomy within a Japanese squatted space. Based on participant observation in the Takayama Architecture Summer School squat, the research shows that social activism can emerge from ordinary acts, such as fixing a door or rearranging a room, enabling diverse groups to coexist and shape their environment without the need for professional expertise
Ten years ago, on 12 December 2015, the Paris Climate Agreement was signed at the UN Climate Conference. In order to limit global warming to well below two degrees, only a certain amount of CO2 may be emitted worldwide. While the focus was originally on national emission targets, more than 200 subnational regions and almost 300 cities have now adopted their own targets. But how many emissions are they fairly entitled to? Researchers at the University of Graz have now developed transparent criteria for fair distribution at the subnational level for the first time and determined corresponding greenhouse gas budgets for all European regions. The distributive justice framework and analysis, published today in the scientific journal Nature Communications, may serve as a useful starting point, and can be operationalised for other countries, e. g. the USA or China.
A new paper in Rheumatology Advances in Practice indicates that Tik Tok videos about gout are commonly misleading, inconsistent, or inaccurate.
