A new study by Betway shows which U.S. states have the “rowdiest” concert crowds, and which behaviors at live shows people find to be most annoying. The company surveyed 2,057 Americans about which behaviors at concerts irritate them the most, and used the responses to uncover which states have the most aggressive audiences, and which have the friendliest. The states were ranked based on the average number of negative behaviors people reported experiencing at shows. Wisconsin was ranked the state with the highest average number of rowdy behaviors, with a score of 13.1. Louisiana, Oklahoma, Mas...

For decades, concerns about automobile pollution have focused on what comes out of the tailpipe. Now, researchers and regulators say, we need to pay more attention to toxic emissions from tires as vehicles roll down the road. At the top of the list of worries is a chemical called 6PPD, which is added to rubber tires to help them last longer. When tires wear on pavement, 6PPD is released. It reacts with ozone to become a different chemical, 6PPD-q, which can be extremely toxic — so much so that it has been linked to repeated fish kills in Washington state. The trouble with tires doesn’t stop th...

A recently unveiled art report by Hiscox Artist Top 100 for 2023 has revealed fascinating insights into the state of the contemporary art market. Among the most striking revelations is the ascendance of Yayoi Kusama, the celebrated Japanese artist known for her vibrant and kaleidoscopic paintings and sculptures, as the best-selling contemporary artist of the year. Despite a decline in demand for higher-priced artworks, the report also highlights a significant surge in sales of more affordable pieces, accompanied by an increase in participation from younger artists in auctions. Here are the key...

Climate change is making giant heat waves crawl slower across the globe - and they are baking more people for a longer time with higher temperatures over larger areas, a new study has found. Since 1979, global heat waves are moving 20 per cent more slowly - meaning more people stay hot longer - and they are happening 67 per cent more often, according to a study in Friday's Science Advances. Scientists also found the highest temperatures in the heat waves are warmer than 40 years ago and the area under a heat dome is larger. Studies have shown heat waves worsening before - but this one is more ...

A special samba drum class has been a refuge for Parkinson’s disease patients in Wales where they can move and socialise. Now researchers in neurogenerative diseases are planning a study to see if samba really can help ease people’s symptoms. Parkinson's disease is a degenerative disease caused by a loss of nerve cells. Due to a loss of the chemical dopamine, it affects body movement as well as mental health, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). Parkinson’s patients experience problems with balance, standing, and walking and sudden rigidity as well as cognitive decline from dement...

A new strategy to fight an extremely aggressive type of brain tumour showed promise in a pair of experiments with a handful of patients. Scientists took patients’ own immune cells and turned them into “living drugs” able to recognise and attack glioblastoma. In the first-step tests, those cells shrank tumours at least temporarily, researchers reported on Wednesday. So-called CAR-T therapy already is used to fight blood-related cancers like leukaemia but researchers have struggled to make it work for solid tumours. Now separate teams at Massachusetts General Hospital and the University of Penns...

With the rise of Generative AI, the skills needed for jobs globally are expected to change by 68% by 2030, compared to 2016. Yet, a significant number of businesses across Europe are behind in helping their workforce train to use AI, according to a new report by LinkedIn. "While business leaders recognise that their employees will need new skills, less than half of companies in the UK, and just over a third in the Netherlands and France, are actively helping employees learn how to use this new technology," said Janine Chamberlin, Vice President and UK Country Manager, LinkedIn, to Euronews Bus...

A German man who was vaccinated against coronavirus 217 times in the last 29 months has reportedly shown no side-effects, according to a study published in the Lancet Infectious Diseases journal. The 62-year-old showed no sign of being infected with the virus that causes COVID-19. The man, from Magdeburg in Germany, said he was vaccinated so many times for "personal reasons" according to researchers from the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg. Researchers contacted the man after hearing about him from a newspaper and asked if they could undertake tests to examine his body's response to the multi...

Washington (AFP) - Parents often worry about the harmful impacts of video games on their children, from mental health and social problems to missing out on exercise. But a large new US study published in JAMA Network Open on Monday indicates there may also be cognitive benefits associated with the popular pastime. Lead author Bader Chaarani, an assistant professor of psychiatry at the University of Vermont, told AFP he was naturally drawn to the topic as a keen gamer himself with expertise in neuroimagery. Prior research had focused on detrimental effects, linking gaming with depression and i...
