Miljoonat klikkaukset paljastavat: nettishoppailu lisää stressiä, uutiset ja aikuisviihde voivat lievittää sitä | Aalto-yliopisto Kymmenien miljoonien verkko- ja sovelluskäyntien analyysi kertoo, miten netin käyttö näkyy hyvinvoinnissa.

Miten netin käyttö vaikuttaa stressiin? Tutkijat paljastavat, että nettishoppailu, some, YouTuben selailu ja suoratoistopalvelujen käyttö sekä verkkopelaaminen olivat yhteydessä lisääntyneeseen stressin tunteeseen.

A new way to measure contagion: the gut bacterium behind blood poisoning can spread like influenza | Aalto University Neither the antibiotic-resistant nor the highly virulent strains are the most transmissible.

Some gut bacteria move through populations with surprising speed.

A new study introduces a new model that applies the basic reproduction number, R₀, to gut bacteria for the first time, providing a clearer way to track how they circulate between people.

Tutkijat kehittivät uuden tavan mitata tartuttavuutta: verenmyrkytystä aiheuttava E. coli -suolistobakteeri voi levitä kuin influenssavirus | Aalto-yliopisto Antibiooteille vastustuskykyiset ja virulenteimmat kannat eivät kuitenkaan ole kaikkein herkimmin leviäviä.

Suolistobakteerit voivat levitä väestössä yllättävän nopeasti – joissain tapauksissa lähes influenssaviruksen tavoin.

Tuore tutkimus esittelee tartuttavuusmallin, joka tuo virusten leviämisestä tutun R₀-luvun bakteeritutkimukseen ensimmäistä kertaa.

Tutkimus eduskuntavaaleista paljastaa: Valtaapitävät jakautuvat jyrkemmin kuin kansa | Aalto-yliopisto Twitter-aineisto paljastaa, että määrällisesti pieni eliitti vaikuttaa mielipiteiden jakautumiseen suhteettoman paljon.

Poliittinen polarisaatio ei synny tyhjästä.

Tuore tutkimus osoittaa, että pieni poliittinen eliitti vauhdittaa yhteiskunnan jakautumista – ja massa vaikuttaa seuraavan perässä.
