Some people are more likely to have anxiety than others. Some children are not as good as others at learning and understanding, which is known as an intellectual disability. Children with intellectual disabilities are more likely to experience anxiety—but unfortunately, they often do not get the help they need to feel better. Our research set out to help children with anxiety, especially those with an intellectual disability. We reviewed the research that has already been performed, asked mental health professionals questions, and talked to parents to learn what might work best. Then, we created Fearless Me! Fearless Me! is a program designed especially for children who have difficulties learning and understanding. So far, the Fearless Me! program seems to help reduce anxiety in children with intellectual disabilities.","PeriodicalId":73060,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers for young minds","volume":"39 9","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141658432","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Membrane filtration is an effective way to remove the pollutants from water. Tiny holes in the membranes allow water to pass through while trapping dirt, bacteria, and other pollutants. Most water-filtration membranes can remove large pollutants such as hair, dust particles, and bacteria, as well as pollutants that cannot be seen with the naked eye, such as dissolved salts. In this article, we will tell you how membranes are made and how they can be used to make water clean and safe enough for people to drink.","PeriodicalId":73060,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers for young minds","volume":"80 9","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141657970","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Lots of tiny animals make their homes in beach wrack, while others feed on it or use it as a hunting ground for their favorite snacks. This feeding frenzy produces nutrients through animal poop and bones, which get delivered back into the water and help to keep our oceans healthy.

You might have seen a squirrel, a fox, or a deer munching on your garden or running down your street. Living near people gives some animals food and places to live, but it can also cause problems for both animals and people. Sometimes people do not agree about what to do about the animals that live near them. We were curious about how people and wild animals live together and decided to investigate. We studied how people make decisions about deer in the suburbs of Massachusetts, where some people think there are too many deer and others are not so sure. We discovered that people often disagree, and politics matters. Paying attention to this disagreement can help people work together and make choices that let wild animals and people to live together with fewer problems.","PeriodicalId":73060,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers for young minds","volume":"1 8","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141662917","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

How does your body know what you have eaten? And why do you feel full after a meal? The digestive tract breaks down the foods we eat, absorbs their nutrients, and sends them to different parts of the body to keep us healthy and full of energy. The body knows how to handle each type of food so that only “leftovers” are turned into poo. A food’s structure determines how fast foods are broken down. The body monitors this and sends messages to the brain to tell us if we feel full or hungry. You might think you are in control, but a food’s structure manipulates how you eat and digest your food. In this article, we explain what is known so far about the effects of a food’s structure.","PeriodicalId":73060,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers for young minds","volume":"114 28","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141666780","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite its importance, the deep sea is the least explored area on our planet because it is so big, deep, dark, cold, and salty.

Many doctors and scientists are trying to work out how these diseases arise and how they can be treated. Unfortunately, the brain is an extremely complicated organ, so this goal is very challenging. One way of simplifying this challenge is to look at simpler brains. For example, a human brain has about 100,000 times more brain cells than a fruit fly brain, but it works in a similar way. Although a fruit fly may seem very different from a human, we still have a lot in common. For example, we both have brains that control how we move our bodies. Scientists are using fruit fly brains to study a wide range of brain diseases that affect human patients. Fly brains can be used to understand how a disease happens, and they can even be used to test drugs to discover new medicines. This article gives an overview of how scientists are using flies to help understand and treat brain disorders.","PeriodicalId":73060,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers for young minds","volume":" 41","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141675393","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Health authorities and doctors must hurry to decide which protection measures, like closing borders or developing vaccines, will work to fight each kind of harmful microbe depending on how dangerous and widespread it is. Fortunately, a new scientific technique called whole genome sequencing can quickly spot and track pathogens—microbes that cause infectious diseases. Whole genome sequencing works well for both disease-causing viruses and bacteria. This technique can help scientists discover new epidemics and reveal how diseases are spreading, aiding health authorities in their quest to stop epidemics much faster. As diseases around the world are being tracked using this method, we stand a better chance of limiting future epidemics like COVID-19.","PeriodicalId":73060,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers for young minds","volume":" 40","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141681067","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
