Social and political changes have introduced new sources of stressors for children. Two studies of 7- to 12-year-old children (n=194; n=402) identified stressors from their perspective, compared them to items in existing instruments, analyzed changes in stressors over the past 30 years, and determined the need for a new instrument. The children named 908 stressors that were inductively sorted into 54 mutually exclusive categories of stressors. Only 24% to 50% of the categories were represented in existing instruments. Stressors that emerged in 2000 included being alone, tests, family fighting, too many things to do, and boyfriend/girlfriend issues. These findings provide insight into differences between adults' versus children's perspectives on stressors and invite speculation on the reasons why new stressors emerge over the years. The findings also support the need for a new instrument that captures the full range of stressors that children experience today.

Burnout and organisational stressors among healthcare staff working with adults with intellectual disabilities in Ireland.
PLoS One
January 2025
School of Applied Psychology, University College of Cork, North Mall, Cork City, Ireland.
Background: The associations between organisational stressors and burnout among healthcare staff working with adults with intellectual disabilities are underexplored. This study investigated rates of burnout and associated stressors among Irish healthcare workers during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Materials And Methods: A convenience sample of 329 Irish frontline staff supporting adults with intellectual disabilities completed a survey assessing personal, work-related, and client-related burnout, and organisational stressors.
The neurohormone tyramine stimulates the secretion of an insulin-like peptide from the Caenorhabditis elegans intestine to modulate the systemic stress response.

The DAF-2/insulin/insulin-like growth factor signaling (IIS) pathway plays an evolutionarily conserved role in regulating reproductive development, life span, and stress resistance. In Caenorhabditis elegans, DAF-2/IIS signaling is modulated by an extensive array of insulin-like peptides (ILPs) with diverse spatial and temporal expression patterns. However, the release dynamics and specific functions of these ILPs in adapting to different environmental conditions remain poorly understood.

Department of Rehabilitation Science, Bangladesh Health Professions Institute (BHPI), CRP, Savar, Dhaka-1343, Bangladesh.
Background: Final-year students studying in various health science institutes are usually very stressed about their studies so that they can complete their studies without any hurdles. This stress can lead to poor academic and professional results because psychological issues such as anxiety and depression are frequently overlooked and not treated. This study aimed to measure the prevalence of stress and also assess the level of stress symptoms among the final year students of health science institute in Bangladesh.

Environmental pollution associated with long term effects, especially in the case of ionizing radiation, poses significant risks to wildlife, necessitating a more nuanced approach to Ecological Risk Assessment (ERA). In radioecology, current methods, as outlined by the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP), focus primarily on exposure and individual/population-level effects, often both suffering a lack of ecological realism due to the nature of data used, and, sidelining a big amount of critical non-individual effects such as sub-individual one like genotoxicity. This review aims to address these gaps by suggesting the integration of New Approach Methods (NAMs) and the Adverse Outcome Pathway (AOP) framework in the field of radioecology.

By consistently taking medication, people with HIV (PWH) can attain viral suppression, improving their health and reducing transmission risk. PositiveLinks (PL) is a clinic-deployed mobile platform designed to improve engagement in care for PWH by enabling them to track their medications, connect with peers, and communicate with providers. This project investigated the experience of PL users who had recent periods of viral non-suppression to understand how these high-risk episodes can be predicted and prevented.
