BALTIMORE, MD, February 27, 2025 – A new study published in the INFORMS journal Management Science reveals that unlimited mobile data plans may be a key solution to reducing digital inequality. The research shows that low-income and rural households benefit the most when data caps are removed – particularly in their ability to access educational content.

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) affects approx. 10 percent of road accident participants and as many as half of people who have experienced war, and victims of rape or violence. PTSD negatively affects the quality of life; it is also associated with greater costs of healthcare. That is why it is so important to prevent the effects of traumatic experiences, and if PTSD or other mental problems do occur - treat victims using evidence-based methods, argue scientists from SWPS University and the University of Warsaw.

Sleep is as important to humans as food and water, but it is often sacrificed to work, especially for farm workers. Dairy farming, in particular, can involve long hours and substantial physical activity, especially on farms that practice block calving—when cows in a herd all calve during a set period of time, usually over six to 12 weeks. Research into how these management practices affect the sleep quality of farm workers is extremely limited. A recent article in the Journal of Dairy Science documents how researchers in New Zealand are working to fill in the research gaps, illustrating that dairy farmers’ are generally getting less sleep and experiencing more stress during spring calving season—and highlighting ways farms can combat these trends.
