Fixing Double-strand Breaks

14.7K
The double-stranded structure of DNA has two major advantages. First, it serves as a safe repository of genetic information where one strand serves as the back-up in case the other strand is damaged. Second, the double-helical structure can be wrapped around proteins called histones to form nucleosomes, which can then be tightly wound to form chromosomes. This way, DNA chains up to 2 inches long can be contained within microscopic structures in a cell. A double-stranded break not only damages...

Cross-Sectional Research

12.5K
In cross-sectional research, a researcher compares multiple segments of the population at the same time. If they were interested in people's dietary habits, the researcher might directly compare different groups of people by age. Instead of following a group of people for 20 years to see how their dietary habits changed from decade to decade, the researcher would study a group of 20-year-old individuals and compare them to a group of 30-year-old individuals and a group of 40-year-old...

Confirmation Biases

8.2K
The confirmation bias is the tendency to focus on information that confirms our existing beliefs and ignore information that is inconsistent with our expectations. For example, if you think that your professor is not very nice, you notice all of the instances of rude behavior exhibited by the professor while ignoring the countless pleasant interactions he is involved in on a daily basis. Have you ever fallen prey to the confirmation bias, either as the source or target of such bias?

Threats to Biodiversity

27.1K
There have been five major extinction events throughout geological history, resulting in the elimination of biodiversity, followed by a rebound of species that adapted to the new conditions. In the current geological epoch, the Holocene, there is a sixth extinction event in progress. This mass extinction has been attributed to human activities and is thus provisionally called the Anthropocene. In 2019 the human population reached 7.7 billion people and is projected to comprise 10 billion by...

Activation Energy01:26

Activation Energy

86.6K
Activation energy is the minimum amount of energy necessary for a chemical reaction to move forward. The higher the activation energy, the slower the rate of the reaction. However, adding heat to the reaction will increase the rate, since it causes molecules to move faster and increase the likelihood that molecules will collide. The collision and breaking of bonds represents the uphill phase of a reaction and generates the transition state. The transition state is an unstable high-energy state...

Summary

Preventing Internet gaming disorder requires more research. While some strategies exist, specific preventive measures for this addiction need further development and empirical validation.

Area of Science:

  • Psychiatry
  • Behavioral Science
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Internet gaming disorder (IGD) is a recognized health concern with growing research on its prevalence, neurobiology, and treatment.
  • Prevention strategies for IGD lag behind research on other addictive behaviors.
  • Existing preventive approaches for IGD require more empirical evidence regarding their feasibility and effectiveness.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the insufficient progress in preventing Internet gaming disorder.
  • To emphasize the need for further research into effective prevention strategies tailored to IGD.
  • To identify gaps in current policy actions and research concerning IGD prevention.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature on Internet gaming disorder.
Keywords:

  • Analysis of current preventive approaches and policy actions.
  • Identification of research needs in IGD prevention.

    • Main Results:

    • Knowledge on IGD prevalence, neurobiology, and treatment is rapidly expanding.
    • Prevention of IGD has not advanced sufficiently.
    • While initial preventive policies exist, their effectiveness and feasibility require more empirical research.

    Conclusions:

    • Further research is crucial to develop and validate effective prevention strategies for Internet gaming disorder.
    • Specialized prevention methods for IGD are needed, beyond general addiction prevention techniques.
    • Policy actions for IGD prevention must be supported by robust empirical evidence.
