  • - CBD has gained attention for its potential medicinal properties and commercial success, yet it doesn't produce the same effects as THC and was thought to cause subjective effects in humans, leading researchers to explore its distinct impacts in lab experiments.
  • - In studies with C57BL/6J mice, researchers found that the mice could not learn to distinguish high doses of CBD from a control substance after extensive training, while they did learn to recognize a potent CB1 receptor agonist.
  • - Experiments showed that CBD did not affect brain endocannabinoid levels or alter the effects of CB1 agonists, indicating it does not produce interoceptive stimuli or disrupt performance in tasks, thus supporting the view that CBD has limited pharmacological effects in

Contemporary educational research has found that student engagement and disengagement have a relevant influence on learning outcomes. However, research on the influence of teacher-student relationships in the engagement of students with special educational needs (SEN) is scarce. The purpose of this study is to analyze the impact of teacher-student relationships, peer support at school, family support for learning, opportunities to participate at school, and SEN on engagement and disengagement of students using a sample of secondary students with SEN and typical development (TD).

Snake venoms are known to have different venom compositions and toxicity, but differences can also be found within populations of the same species contributing to the complexity of treatment of envenomated victims. One of the first well-documented intraspecies venom variations comes from the Mohave rattlesnake (Crotalus scutulatus scutulatus). Initially, three types of venoms were described; type A venom is the most toxic as a result of ~45% Mojave toxin in the venom composition, type B lacks the Mojave toxin but contains over 50% of snake venom metalloproteases (SVMPs).
