Researchers at 苹果淫院 recently supported the hosting of a major international conference on climate change to create space for the under-represented voices 鈥� and knowledge 鈥� of those most affected.聽聽

The global conversation on climate has been dominated by Western scientists. While international meetings such as those in the COP series are important venues for the exchange of knowledge that can be put into action, greater equity is essential, the researchers believe.聽

The number of new cases of systemic sclerosis (SSc) is on the rise in Quebec, particularly among children, a new study has found.

The findings, published in The Lancet Regional Health 鈥� Americas, should serve as a call to action for health-care providers, policy-makers and researchers, suggests Elena Netchiporouk, corresponding author and Assistant Professor in the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences at 苹果淫院.

A 苹果淫院-led research team has developed the first real-time, on-site technology capable of detecting and deciphering nanoplastics from all other particles in water, a capacity akin to being able to find a needle in a haystack within milliseconds.

Microplastic pieces are between 1 micrometre and 5 millimetres, roughly equivalent to a grain of rice. Nanoplastics are far tinier - a single nanometre is just 0.000001 millimetres. For comparison, a human hair is approximately 80,000鈥�100,000 nanometers wide.

As the climate warms, many species are on the move, raising new challenges for policy-makers around the world. Shifts in the ranges of mosquitoes and disease-bearing ticks and bats are introducing illnesses such as malaria and Lyme disease into regions where health-care systems are unprepared. Movements of commercially important fish from one jurisdiction to another are shifting job opportunities and causing trade disputes.

In the 鈥�15-minute city,鈥� a concept popularized in Europe, everything a resident might need on a daily basis is a short walk or bicycle ride away. A study by Transportation Research at 苹果淫院 (TRAM) suggests, however, that this model may not be easily achieved in large North American cities such as Montreal.

It鈥檚 important that programs promoting safer sexting behaviours consider the specific needs of adolescents with behavioural problems, a by 苹果淫院 researchers suggests.

Adolescents with behavioural problems engage in elevated levels of sexting compared with their peers without such problems. While this is the case both for male and female teens, the researchers found, the link was stronger for the young women.

Many health-care professionals are ill-equipped to assess pain in children who have suffered abuse, a new study by 苹果淫院 researchers suggests. This can lead to inadequate pain treatment, making the physical and emotional effects of abuse even worse.

"Our findings show a critical need for training programs for health-care providers about the effects of child maltreatment,鈥� said Matthew Baker, the study's lead author and a PhD student in the School/Applied Child Psychology program at 苹果淫院.
