How to Help Teenagers Overcome Internet Addiction |
點閱次數: 39 |
| The internet has become an indispensable part of modern life, with nearly every adolescent owning a mobile device. This not only changes the way they learn, but also poses the risk of internet addiction. Professor Min-Pei Lin from the Department of Educational Psychology and Counseling at National Taiwan Normal University conducted a two-year longitudinal study on first-year high school students in Taiwan to investigate the phenomenon of internet addiction among Taiwanese adolescents and its underlying causes. The study found that when adolescents experience negative psychological states and have lower distress tolerance, they often turn to the internet or vent their emotions as a way to "escape" from stress, gradually becoming addicted to the internet.more |

Big Data Confirms that Methylphenidate is good for reducing ADHD Mortality in the Long Term |
點閱次數: 61 |
| Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a prevalent neurodevelopmental disorder in children and adolescents, significantly impacting cognitive learning and social interactions. Methylphenidate (MPH) is the primary pharmacological treatment for ADHD; however, parents’ concerns about potential side effects, including self-harm and suicide, have posed substantial challenges for clinical management. Professor Tzu-Chi Lee from the Department of Health Promotion and Health Education at National Taiwan Normal University has pioneered research in Taiwan to clarify the relationship between MPH use and mortality rates. The findings reveal that individuals who use MPH exhibit lower overall mortality rates compared to those who do not. Additionally, earlier initiation of MPH treatment following an ADHD diagnosis, as well as long-term use of the medication, is associated with further reductions in mortality risk.more |

How two-dimensional nano materials can help perovskite solar cells |
點閱次數: 91 |
| Traditional solar cells primarily use silicon as its main material. However, with rapid advancements in technology, perovskite solar cells—a third-generation technology with lower costs and shorter production times—are now considered the most promising alternative to silicon-based solar cells. Professor Wen-Chin Lin of the Department of Physics at National Taiwan Normal University leads a research team that is actively exploring the potential of perovskite materials. They are attempting to combine ferromagnetic metals with perovskite, but achieving a stable bond between these two distinct materials presents a significant challenge. To overcome this, the team has successfully used two-dimensional materials to address surface tension issues, offering new insights into semiconductor material research. more |
