The Battle of Tongues: When Languages Collide, Which Survives?
The life or death of a language often depends on individual preferences and social prestige.
Researchers from the University of the Balearic Islands have shown through a mathematical model how language preferences and societal interactions affect the coexistence and survival of languages in multilingual societies, with significant implications for language preservation and policy-making.

‘I was told to return to work as soon as I regained consciousness.’ Why only a third of assaulted nurses report it to police
Violence against nurses is pervasive. They are more likely to experience physical violence than any other health-care professionals. Violence against nurses occurs in the context of violence against women, with 87.5% of Australia’s nursing workforce identifying as women.

Fewer Side Effects – A New Treatment Method for Pancreatic Cancer
Pancreatic cancer, a leading cause of cancer deaths, often goes undiagnosed until it’s too late for effective treatment. A new method using nanoparticles delivers the drug Gemcitabine directly into tumors, improving efficacy and reducing side effects.

Surface Water Penetrates Deep into Earth, New Research Suggests
A few decades ago, seismologists identified a thin layer with a lower velocity in Earth’s metallic liquid core. The origin of this layer, known as the E’ layer, has been a mystery. Now, geoscientists have revealed that water from the Earth’s surface can penetrate deep into the planet, altering the composition of the outermost region of the core and creating the E’ layer.
