A recent study from the University of Edinburgh explores the concept of "doombehaviour," which refers to the frequent consumption of negatively valenced news online. The research argues that while doomscrolling can negatively impact mood and mental health, doomchecking and doomsurfing may have distinct instrumental epistemic values. The paper suggests that individuals motivated to acquire knowledge or stay informed about current events may find the epistemic benefits of doomchecking and doomsurfing outweigh the prudential costs. The study highlights the need for further exploration of these prevalent and potentially harmful epistemic behaviors. [Extracted from the article]

A report from the University of Brescia in Italy discusses research findings on drug research. The researchers highlight the need to assess evidence in favor of a practically relevant effect, rather than simply determining its presence or absence. They propose a method for modifying standard tests to deal with appropriate interval null hypotheses that contain all practically irrelevant effect sizes. The researchers apply their proposed methods to two case studies in clinical medicine, one involving systolic blood pressure in adults at risk for nutritional deficit and another involving the effects of remdesivir on COVID-19 patients. The research has been peer-reviewed and more information can be obtained from the University of Brescia. [Extracted from the article]

A recent study conducted by researchers at Free University Berlin highlights the issue of "indexjacking," which involves the infiltration of hijacked journals into international indexing databases, particularly Scopus. The study identified at least 67 hijacked journals that have entered Scopus since 2013, with 41 still compromising the data of legitimate journals as of September 2023. This poses a challenge to scientific integrity and research evaluation, as unreliable papers that have not undergone peer review are legitimized and imported into other databases. The presence of cloned versions of approved journals further complicates the verification of authenticity. [Extracted from the article]

A recent study conducted by researchers at the Norwegian University of Life Sciences examines the impact of the war in Ukraine on the European forest sector. The study finds that the war has moderate economic consequences for the sector in the European Union (EU). Chemical pulp production benefits from higher electricity prices and less competition from Russia, while the production of printing and writing papers decreases due to increased energy prices. The EU roundwood harvests only slightly decrease due to the embargo on Russian wood. The research concludes that certain EU policies may have a greater economic impact on the EU forest sector than the war itself. [Extracted from the article]

A report from Manchester Metropolitan University examines the employment migration behavior of non-White ethnic minority graduates in the United Kingdom. The study finds that ethnic minority graduates are more likely than their White counterparts to find work in ethnically diverse areas of the UK after leaving higher education. The research suggests that these patterns can be explained by ethnic identity norms and a preference for working in ethnically diverse places. However, the results should be interpreted with caution due to concerns about heterogeneity within the ethnic group classifications and possible omitted variables. [Extracted from the article]

A recent study from Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB) examines the use of consumer surveys to measure the adoption of grocery delivery services. The researchers argue that previous studies may have underestimated the adoption of these services because they focused on individual-level choices and did not account for households where someone other than the primary grocery shopper made use of the service. The study suggests ways to avoid this methodological issue and highlights other papers that suffer from the same problem. The research has been peer-reviewed and is available in the journal Transportation Research Part A Policy and Practice. [Extracted from the article]
