Learning about ticks is important because of the diseases and problems they can cause in people and animals. Ticks are related to spiders and are not insects—they are parasites that live outside their host‘s body and infest a variety of animals. Ticks must feed on blood to survive, and when they feed, they can spread germs that cause diseases in people and animals. Ticks are found all around the world and various strategies have been tried to control these parasites. Chemical control (pesticides) is the most common method; however, some ticks have shown resistance to these chemicals. Alternative methods have been explored, including vaccinating animals to stop ticks from feeding on them. All tick-control methods have their own pros and cons, which will be discussed in this article. Some methods can even be combined for greater tick-killing effectiveness.
了解蜱虫非常重要,因为它们会给人和动物带来疾病和问题。蜱虫与蜘蛛有关,但不是昆虫--它们是寄生虫,生活在宿主体外,侵扰各种动物。蜱虫必须吸血才能生存,吸血时会传播病菌,导致人类和动物患病。蜱虫遍布世界各地,人们尝试了各种策略来控制这些寄生虫。化学防治(杀虫剂)是最常用的方法,但有些蜱虫对这些化学物质产生了抗药性。人们还探索了其他方法,包括给动物注射疫苗,阻止蜱虫在动物身上取食。所有控制蜱虫的方法都各有利弊,本文将对此进行讨论。有些方法甚至可以结合使用,以提高杀蜱效果。

If someone were to ask you, “What is the deadliest animal in the world?” you might not think the answer would be an insect smaller than a thumb tack! However, the deadliest animal in the world is in fact the mosquito! While “mosquito” means “little fly” and may sound harmless, mosquitoes can actually transmit devastating diseases to humans, resulting in over 600,000 deaths worldwide every year. This is almost as high as the number of deaths from cancer, the second leading cause of death in the United States. Mosquitoes are found all over the world and, chances are, you have encountered them (and their itchy bites!) yourself. Keep reading to learn more about these creatures, including how they live, the many types of mosquitoes that exist, and the dangerous diseases they can transmit to humans.
如果有人问你:"世界上最致命的动物是什么?"你可能不会想到答案会是一种比拇指钉还小的昆虫!然而,世界上最致命的动物其实是蚊子!虽然 "蚊子 "的意思是 "小苍蝇",听起来似乎无害,但实际上蚊子可以向人类传播毁灭性的疾病,每年导致全球 60 多万人死亡。这个数字几乎与美国第二大死因癌症的死亡人数相当。蚊子遍布世界各地,您很可能也曾遇到过它们(以及它们令人瘙痒的叮咬!)。请继续阅读,了解更多有关这些生物的信息,包括它们的生活方式、现有的多种蚊子类型以及它们可能传播给人类的危险疾病。

Imagine wearing a shirt or a wristband that tells you how hard you are exercising or warns you if you are getting sick. These are simple examples of wearable medical devices that could transform healthcare—either by helping people to manage serious diseases that they already have, or by spotting the early signs of a disease so that it can be treated before the person even feels sick. This article will focus on two examples of wearables: one for the management of diabetes and another that may be able to prevent heart attacks. Wearables like these and many others that are being developed could greatly improve human health. However, these technologies come with some big challenges, because they collect a lot of personal data. We need to find ways to protect people’s privacy by keeping that sensitive data safe. In the future, wearables will certainly help doctors do their jobs… but might they even replace doctors altogether?
想象一下,穿上一件衬衫或戴上一个腕带,它就能告诉你运动的强度,或者在你生病时发出警告。这些都是可穿戴医疗设备的简单例子,它们可以改变医疗保健--或者帮助人们控制已经罹患的严重疾病,或者发现疾病的早期征兆,从而在人们还没有感觉到生病时就能得到治疗。本文将重点介绍两款可穿戴设备:一款用于糖尿病管理,另一款则可预防心脏病发作。类似这样的可穿戴设备以及正在开发的许多其他设备可以极大地改善人类健康。然而,这些技术也面临着一些巨大的挑战,因为它们会收集大量的个人数据。我们需要找到保护人们隐私的方法,保证这些敏感数据的安全。未来,可穿戴设备肯定会帮助医生开展工作......但它们甚至会完全取代医生吗?

In a world where scientists often guard their research like hidden treasures, open science is a new and exciting concept. Rather than keeping experiments and results secret, open science encourages the wide sharing of scientific knowledge, to speed up research and improve human lives. Imagine a grand library where scientists unlock their safes and deposit their valuable information where everyone can access it! The power of open science was clearly seen during the response to the COVID-19 pandemic, and it is central to important scientific collaborations like the Human Cell Atlas project, which aims to map all the cells in the human body. By embracing open science, we unlock a world where knowledge is freely accessible, collaboration thrives, and scientific discoveries are accelerated, leading to a brighter future for everyone.
在科学家们经常把自己的研究当做隐藏的宝藏的世界里,开放科学是一个令人兴奋的新概念。开放科学不是对实验和结果保密,而是鼓励广泛分享科学知识,以加快研究速度,改善人类生活。想象一下,在一个大图书馆里,科学家们打开保险箱,将他们宝贵的信息存放在这里,每个人都可以查阅!在应对 COVID-19 大流行病的过程中,我们清楚地看到了开放科学的力量,它也是人类细胞图谱项目等重要科学合作的核心,该项目旨在绘制人体所有细胞的图谱。通过拥抱开放科学,我们开启了一个知识自由获取、合作蓬勃发展、科学发现加速的世界,为每个人带来更光明的未来。

Geothermal Heat Shapes the Antarctic Ice Sheet From Below 地热从下往上塑造南极冰盖
Pub Date : 2024-02-05 DOI: 10.3389/frym.2023.1178537

Antarctica’s ice sheet is constantly on the move, flowing from the deep, frozen interior of the continent toward the ocean, where it melts. In fact, because the oceans are getting warmer, the Antarctic ice sheet melts faster, and therefore, the sea level is rising. However, predicting how the ice sheet will flow differently from place to place is complicated. The landscape beneath the ice sheet helps to control how fast the ice moves. For example, the ice can stick and deform, or slide smoothly across the land under the ice. Naturally occurring heat from inside the Earth can cause the base of the ice sheet to melt and soften so that it flows more easily, sliding on the meltwater formed. The amount of this geothermal heat varies across Antarctica and is difficult to measure. However, scientists with various expertise can collaborate to understand how much heat there is and how it shapes the ice sheet.
南极洲的冰层不断移动,从冰封的大陆内部深处流向海洋,在那里融化。事实上,由于海洋变暖,南极冰盖融化得更快,因此海平面也在上升。然而,预测冰原在不同地方的流动方式是非常复杂的。冰原下的地形有助于控制冰的移动速度。例如,冰层可以粘连变形,也可以在冰下的陆地上平稳滑动。地球内部自然产生的热量可以使冰层底部融化和软化,从而使冰层更容易流动,在融水形成的冰层上滑动。南极洲各地的地热量各不相同,很难测量。不过,拥有各种专业知识的科学家可以通过合作来了解热量的多少以及它是如何塑造冰原的。

Virtual Reality Video Game Improves Memory in Older Adults 虚拟现实视频游戏改善老年人的记忆力
Pub Date : 2024-02-05 DOI: 10.3389/frym.2024.1184019

The ability to remember detailed information is called high-fidelity long-term memory. We use high-fidelity long-term memory to remember the details of our favorite stories and how to track which family member a green pair of socks belongs to. As we age, the ability to remember these details declines as the health of the brain changes. We created a virtual reality video game called Labyrinth-VR, with the aim to restore memory. When playing Labyrinth-VR, participants practice figuring out where they want to go using the shortest route to get there. In Labyrinth-VR, participants learned a virtual neighborhood and then had to find their way around to run errands. In our study, 49 older adults played either 12 h of Labyrinth-VR or 12 h of iPad games. The results of tests of high-fidelity long-term memory showed that playing Labyrinth-VR, but not iPad games, led to improvements in participants’ scores.
记忆详细信息的能力被称为高保真长期记忆。我们利用高保真长期记忆来记住我们最喜欢的故事的细节,以及如何追踪一双绿色袜子属于哪位家庭成员。随着年龄的增长,大脑的健康状况会发生变化,记忆这些细节的能力也会下降。我们制作了一款名为 "迷宫-VR "的虚拟现实视频游戏,旨在恢复记忆。在玩 Labyrinth-VR 时,参与者要练习用最短的路线找出他们想去的地方。在《迷宫-VR》中,参与者学习了一个虚拟街区,然后必须在周围找到路来跑腿。在我们的研究中,49 名老年人玩了 12 小时的迷宫-VR 或 12 小时的 iPad 游戏。高保真长期记忆测试结果表明,玩迷宫-VR游戏能提高参与者的得分,而玩iPad游戏则不能。

The results of tests of high-fidelity long-term memory showed that playing Labyrinth-VR, but not iPad games, led to improvements in participants’ scores.","PeriodicalId":503754,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers for Young Minds","volume":"24 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139805279","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}

Why do scientists drill into the Earth? Drilling is a valuable tool to unravel secrets of the planet’s history because lots of information is safely stored deep below our feet within the Earth. By taking samples from deep in the Earth and performing laboratory tests on them, scientists find rock materials, water, bacteria, and fossils that can help to unravel mysteries of life and the environment over millions of years. Drilling is also important for finding sustainable new resources, such as geothermal heat, which can be used to produce energy for our homes. Drilling can also help us understand and protect our planet. Another important reason for drilling is to install specific instruments deep in the Earth, to monitor Earth’s movements. These instruments help us to better understand natural disasters like earthquakes or volcanic eruptions and can enhance the safety of billions of people worldwide.
科学家为什么要钻探地球?钻探是揭开地球历史秘密的重要工具,因为我们脚下的地球深处安全地储存着大量信息。通过从地球深处采集样本并对其进行实验室测试,科学家们发现了岩石材料、水、细菌和化石,这些都有助于揭开数百万年来生命和环境的神秘面纱。钻探对于寻找可持续的新资源也很重要,比如地热,它可以用来为我们的家庭生产能源。钻探还可以帮助我们了解和保护我们的地球。钻探的另一个重要原因是在地球深处安装特定的仪器,以监测地球的运动。这些仪器能帮助我们更好地了解地震或火山爆发等自然灾害,并能加强全世界数十亿人的安全。
