iOS Apps More Unstable Than Android Ones, Claims Study
2012-02-07 08:37:00 The battle between the mobile operating systems is getting interesting. There are only two of them at the top, iOS and Android. Many an article and blog post have tried to explain why one is better than the other. iOS is currently at 5.0.1 and Android is at 4.0.3 in terms of version numbers and both bring roughly the same features to the table. Android has introduced some new features like Bump and Face Recognition with Ice Cream Sandwich. According to many developers iOS is a closed system in terms of modding, customizing and hacking whereas Android is open. Both these approaches are unique and have their own benefits although iOS has been said to have the best apps and consistent user experience in its ecosystem. According to a latest study by mobile application monitoring company Crittercism, iOS apps crash much more often than Android apps which is a surprising thing. Apparently, more applications are crashing specifically in iOS 5.0.1 amounting to as much as 28.64% as compa...

How One Views Facebook Page, Eye – Tracking Study Reveals!
2011-12-30 08:11:00 Perception they say, changes with time, while in case of Facebook its Timeline feature reveals a new study. Eye-tracking research start-up EyeTrackShop was asked by Tech Site Mashable to compare visual statistics for Twitter, Facebook and MySpace profiles before and after major site redesigns. For Facebook it was the much-awaited Timeline that Mark Zuckerberg announced in F8 Developer Summit in October of this year. The timeline feature was developed following much testing. It is safe to say, not all liked the new design & users were allowed to retain the old appeal. However, people have warmed-up to the feature & the study puts forth some interesting observations about where your eyes spends its sweet time when looking at someone’s profile: Picture is worth a thousand words. And for now, cover photos being about 10 times greater than the size of profile pictures, people are focusing more on them than before. More good news for advertisers who wisely chose Facebook.

Another Stupid Sex Study
2011-12-14 19:06:00 Hans Villarica, Atlantic: New research shows that liquor consumption affects a person’s intention to have unprotected sex, one of the leading causes of HIV infection PROBLEM: Alcohol consumption has long been implicated in the incidence of unsafe sex, the leading cause of HIV infection. It’s been unclear, however, if inebriation is the sole cause of this behavior or if personality traits are behind both liquor consumption and risky sex. METHODOLOGY: Investigators in the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health in Toronto, Canada, conducted a meta-analysis of 12 experiments that tested the cause-and-effect relationship between alcohol consumption and the intention to engage in unsafe sex. In these experiments, the researchers randomly allocated the participants to a drinking group or a sober group, and measured their intention to have sex without a condom. Facts:: There are no unsafe sexual acts.  There are only unsafe sexual partners. No condom can magically convert an...

150Mn People Are E- Commerce Ready Says IAMAI Study
2011-12-13 07:15:00 We know that e-commerce segment is doing extremely well in India. According to a recent study conducted by Internet and Mobile Association of India (IAMAI) and Intelink Advisors, about 150 million people are ready to get onto the e-commerce way of shopping. This figure was achieved after studying parameters like Income, Education and Occupation of households and people. The number is promising but the only barrier to this is actual number of these people currently shopping online, which is pegged at 10 million. The reason behind this strange disparity in e-commerce ready people and active e-commerce users is that Indians are not big fans of buying things from the Internet due to reasons like lack of trust, unwillingness to share payment information and lack of an actual shopping experience which many Indians have got used to. Some people don’t even see it as a benefit and maintain that they have no use for online shopping. The ‘trust’ factor is one of the main roadblocks to ...

Women?s post-natal depression linked to partners? abuse: study
2011-12-07 15:44:00 Forty percent of women who suffer depression after childbirth are abused either physically or emotionally by their partners, researchers in Australia said on Wednesday, calling on health workers to be more alert to such cases. ?That is a very important message to get out to health professionals,? said Hannah Woolhouse at Murdoch Children?s Research Institute in Victoria, Australia. ?If they are working with women with post-natal depression, they should consider the possibility that partner violence may be contributing to that.? Possible solutions included offering treatment to the abusive partner, counseling for such couples, or even shelter for abused women, she said in a telephone interview.
Should China Kill The Electric Car? A Study in Capital Misallocation.
2011-12-05 12:38:00 I know I have been writing too much lately regarding China's economy and I know that much of what I have written has been negative. But I have to tell you that I am starting to see all sorts of fissures breaking out in China's economy and they are scaring the hell out of me. I am not writing to jump on any bandwagon (as one e-mailer accused me) but because I am really worried. I am worried not just from what I am seeing, but because the real economists out there (not the people who claim to be economists just because they live in China) are also saying some pretty scary things. One of those real economists, Michael Pettis, just came out with what I see as a brilliant piece on how China has overinvested in capital and how its capital investments have been misallocated. It is entitled, "How do we know that China is overinvesting" and I strongly urge you to read the whole thing. I love Pettis's piece for three reasons. One, I have never bought into the idea that a bunch of gen...

Foster kids get more antipsychotics: study
2011-11-23 07:23:00 Kids in foster care are more likely to have long-term prescriptions for more than one type of antipsychotic medication than kids who are also on government assistance, but not in foster care, a new study finds. The results, published in the journal Pediatrics, point to prescribing practices that have known risks, but uncertain benefits, researchers say. ?We have very little evidence for antipsychotic use in kids, and no evidence to support two medications,? lead author Susan dosReis, a professor at the University of Maryland School of Pharmacy, told Reuters Health. DosReis and her colleagues examined antipsychotic prescriptions given to nearly 17,000 children on Medicaid in 2003.

Study Results Confirm Benefit of Treating Patients Suffering from Severe De
2011-11-18 17:16:00 Results from the first multi-center pilot study of deep brain stimulation (DBS) for major depressive disorder were published online today by the Journal of Neurosurgery. The study, conducted at three research facilities in Canada, was designed to replicate and build upon an earlier study by Dr. Andres Lozano and Dr. Helen Mayberg which was published in the journal Neuron in 2005. Sponsored by St. Jude Medical, Inc. (NYSE:STJ), the study demonstrates significant improvement in depression symptoms among patients who are highly treatment resistant. The results of the study showed that DBS therapy targeted to an area of the brain known as Brodmann Area 25 provided noticeable improvement in depression symptoms and increased overall quality of life in patients who typically don?t respond to treatment. The study enrolled 21 patients who on average had suffered from depression for 20 years, had tried in excess of 16 depression medications and were considered disabled or unable to work at ...

Animal Study May Explain Link between Prenatal Infection and Schizophrenia
2011-11-16 06:31:00 New findings show prenatal infection - a known risk factor for schizophrenia - can cause changes in the brain and behavior comparable to certain aspects of schizophrenia. The animal study shows that prenatal infection decreases functioning in key brain chemical receptors vital for long-term memory. The findings were presented at Neuroscience 2011, the annual meeting of the Society for Neuroscience and the world?s largest source of emerging news about brain science and health. Schizophrenia is thought to reduce the function of proteins important in brain cell communication called N-methyl-D- aspartate receptors (NMDAR). The new study, led by Melissa Burt, at McGill University, suggests prenatal infection could lead to schizophrenia by decreasing NMDAR function. To simulate prenatal infection, the researchers administered a bacterial toxin to pregnant rats. When the offspring reached adolescence, they showed reduced NMDAR function in the hippocampus, a br...

Texas Biomed develops new approach to study depression; may lead to new mar
2011-10-28 16:22:00 Scientists at the Texas Biomedical Research Institute and Yale University have identified a new target area in the human genome that appears to harbor genes with a major role in the onset of depression. Using the power of Texas Biomed?s AT&T Genomics Computing Center (GCC), the researchers found the region by devising a new method for analyzing thousands of potential risk factors for this complex disease, a process that led them to a new biomarker that may be helpful in identifying people at risk for major depression. ?We were searching for things in psychiatric disease that are the equivalent of what cholesterol is to heart disease,? said John Blangero, Ph.D., director of the GCC and a principal investigator in the study. ?We wanted to find things that can be measured in everybody and that can tell you something about risk for major depression.?

Study highlights issues faced by friends and family of the suicidal
2011-10-21 04:27:00 A study focusing on the family and friends of people who were suicidal has highlighted the main challenges they face when trying to judge whether a person is in danger and decide what they should do about it. The research was carried out by Dr. Christabel Owens from the Peninsula College of Medicine and Dentistry, supported by Devon NHS Partnership Trust and funded by the UK Medical Research Council. The findings are published in the British Medical Journal on 22nd October 2011 (online 19th October 2011). Researchers investigated 14 suicides aged 18-34 in London, the South West and South Wales, none of whom were receiving specialist mental health care. They asked relatives and friends of the deceased what they had witnessed in the period leading up to the suicide and how they had interpreted what they saw. In all, 31 lay informants (parents, partners, siblings, friends and colleagues) took part. The findings of the research show that relatives and friends did not always receiv...

RECONSTRUCTING BRAIN IMAGES
2011-10-05 07:40:00 Neuroscientists from the University of California, Berkley have successfully discovered a way to reconstruct brain activity into visual format. Researchers at the Gallant Lab had subjects watch movie trailers while placed inside of a Functional Magnetic Resonance Image Machine that scanned their brain function. The collected data was then decoded by computer and matched with visuals from a database of random video clips. What resulted is the following--reconstructed visual approximations of brain activity that clearly match what the subjects were watching. Mind-blowing. Literally!

MRI study finds that depression uncouples brain?s hate circuit
2011-10-04 14:13:00 A new study using MRI scans, led by Professor Jianfeng Feng, from the University of Warwick?s Department of Computer Science, has found that depression frequently seems to uncouple the brain?s ?Hate Circuit?. The study entitled ?Depression Uncouples Brain Hate Circuit? is published today (Tuesday 4th October 2011) in the journal Molecular Psychiatry. The researchers used MRI scanners to scan the brain activity in 39 depressed people (23 female 16 male) and 37 control subjects who were not depressed (14 female 23 male). The researchers found the fMRI scans revealed significant differences in the brain circuitry of the two groups. The greatest difference observed in the depressed patients was the uncoupling of the so-called ?hate circuit? involving the superior frontal gyrus, insula and putamen. Other major changes occurred in circuits related to risk and action responses, reward and emotion, attention and memory processing. The hate circuit was first clearly identified in 2008 by...
Jaime Zapata Case Study
2011-10-01 04:50:00 Originally posted at the Future of Journalism. Ice.Gov In the case of the murder of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, ICE, agent Jaime Zapata the media had adequate coverage. It is actually surprising that this Latino man wasn't stereotyped in the way that other Latinos in the news may be. This could be partly due to the fact that he was part of the American enforcement team, but either way, this is a good example of the media doing fair coverage of a Latino. A headline from one of Fox News' blogs read "Who was Jaime Zapata? Hero Remembered." In a report done by ABC News investigations go further with a headline that reads, "Random Act or Ambush? Feds Probe Shootings of U.S. Agents in Mexico." The only controversial headline and story that I came across wasn't from a big media outlet, but from a blogger for "Truth About Guns" who writes, "What Was Murdered ICE Agent Jaime Zapata Doing in Mexico," which speculated any affiliation that he could have had to the drug cartel. ...

TNS-Movirtu Study Reveals The Potential Of Mobile Technology As A Change &n
2011-09-22 10:39:00 The potential of rural India in terms of being a market for mobile technology and the benefits of the same to the rural poor has been highlighted earlier on this blog. Recently, one of the leading research firms in the world, TNS conducted a detailed study of ‘needs and attitudes’ of those staying in the rural areas of Tanzania, Senegal and India. On first look it might seem a little weird that India has been placed alongside Tanzania and Senegal for this study. But the fact is that India and these two African nations have some of the highest concentrations of people living on less than $2 a day. This study was commissioned by Movirtu, the creator of the award-winning Cloud Phone™ software. The main aim of the study was to identify the potential of mobile technology in these regions and to understand how it can be utilized to improve the quality of life and to empower the farmers, first-time entrepreneurs and the youth residing here.

2011-09-14 22:50:00 Originally posted at NikkyRaney.com Written by Nikky Raney Casey Anthony is the most hated person in America and the way the news media covered her trial as well as her life in general didn't help the people in our society think highly of her. CNN, MSNBC, FOX, ABC and the rest of the televised news media tried to be objective by interviewing prosecuting attorneys as well as defense attorneys, but the look on the faces of those reporting and the tones in their voice showed that they had an opinion and the opinion was not favorable. The print media was not much better where the blogs were overtaking the online news sites and the papers and magazines didn't paint her in a favorable light either, and Newsweek even did an article after the fact that suggested that she could be placed in the same category as OJ Simpson as someone who got away with murder. There was also an article in Newsweek titled Did Casey Anthony Get Away With Murder? With a title like that it's hard to no...

Helmets save brains and spines, new study shows
2011-02-10 09:05:00 Motorcycle helmets can keep the brain safe, but Johns Hopkins researchers now say they also protect the spine too. There has been a myth persisting for 25 years that wearing a helmet while riding causes spine injuries, said the study leader, Dr. Adil H. Haider, an assistant professor of surgery at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. It was based on a faulty study, he said, and helmets have only gotten lighter and sturdier since then. And lobby groups have used it to help undo helmet laws. Just about every state used to require helmets forty years ago, but now only about 20 do. But this new research "debunks" the myth, Haider says. "Using this new evidence, legislators...
