A new study published in Economics Letters introduces a novel high-frequency measure of political sentiment that separates what voters think about a president’s job performance from how they feel about the president personally.
UNIC launches the Evolve Lecture Series, a new initiative dedicated to frontier developments and expert perspectives in artificial intelligence, robotics, biotechnology, and the future of human health.
Η κρίση στο Ιράν δεν είναι πλέον ένα περιφερειακό γεωπολιτικό επεισόδιο με περιορισμένες οικονομικές συνέπειες. Εξελίσσεται σε ένα σύνθετο σοκ για τη διεθνή οικονομία, με άμεσες επιπτώσεις στις τιμές ενέργειας, στις θαλάσσιες μεταφορές, στον τουρισμό, στο κόστος τροφίμων και στη νομισματική πολιτική.
The publication includes research from multiple institutions and countries. It also features work by fourth-year UNIC medical students Aikaterini Katramadou and Eva Sonja Bender, conducted under the supervision of Prof. Kanakis.
The publication was produced in collaboration with researchers from Greece, Ireland and Switzerland, and examines the role of water in livestock and poultry nutrition, with particular attention to both water intake and water quality.
Constantinos Koshiaris, Assistant Professor of Medical Statistics at the Medical School, has contributed to an international study recently published in the medical journal Nature Medicine, aimed at improving the early identification of children at high risk of severe infection in low-resource settings.
Research from the University of Nicosia accepted for publication in the International Journal of Management Reviews (IJMR) identifies four critical paradoxes that prevent hybrid work from being truly sustainable and inclusive.
The School of Veterinary Medicine is participating in a newly funded research project in collaboration with veterinary partners in Norway.
These publications highlight the strong engagement of medical students in clinical research during their placements. Such achievements reflect an ongoing commitment to integrating research with clinical training and improving patient care through evidence-based practice.
While nearly half of the participants presented within the optimal 24-hour window, the study identified critical ‘missed opportunities’ for long-term prevention. Specifically, although 72.9% were willing to attend regular sexual health clinics, only 52.3% were willing to use Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP), and 13.1% had never previously been tested for HIV.
GNOSIS Mediterranean Institute for Management Science is proud to see eight of its researchers being listed in Stanford/Elsevier's Top 2% Scientist Rankings.
In the paper, Dr Nakou argues that the routine offering of prenatal screening may inadvertently undermine genuine autonomous decision-making. She suggests that, rather than routinely offering tests such as non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT), healthcare systems should first provide high-quality counselling, enabling women to reflect on their values and preferences before deciding whether to undergo testing.
Fourth-year veterinary student Sotiris Chrysanthopoulos has co-authored a scientific article published in the peer-reviewed International Journal of Molecular Sciences, in collaboration with Dr Konstantinos V. Arsenopoulos, Associate Professor of Cattle and Herd Medicine at the School of Veterinary Medicine, and Dr Elias Papadopoulos of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki.
Organised by the Medical and Veterinary School Student Societies, with the support of the UNIC Health research team, the conference reflects UNIC Health’s ongoing commitment to fostering a strong research culture. It provides students with the opportunity to present their work to peers and faculty through oral and e-poster presentations.
A landmark study of nearly 44,000 workers across 35 European countries has uncovered stark gender inequalities in the emotional demands of the workplace, and mapped the pathways through which those demands erode mental health.
The review focuses on the combined use of EEG and heart rate variability as an integrated biomarker framework for Alzheimer’s disease, with findings suggesting that brain-heart coupling may offer improved sensitivity in identifying early cognitive decline.
Medical students of the graduate-entry programme, Nirmal Pandit, Yahya Wehbeh, and Omar Itani, under the supervision of Professor Dimitrios N. Kanakis, have recently published a paper in the peer-reviewed journal International Journal of Molecular Sciences.
Fourth-year MD students Aikaterini Katramadou and Eva Sonja Bender have co authored a review article on traumatic brain injury (TBI)/chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) and Alzheimer's disease, under the supervision of Professor Dimitrios N. Kanakis.
This partnership will focus on coordinated research, faculty and student collaboration, and innovation across cutting-edge science, engineering and artificial intelligence disciplines.
The authors summarise current evidence on the gut–brain axis, describing how intestinal microorganisms and their metabolites affect immune regulation, inflammatory pathways, and the tumour microenvironment in glioblastoma. They discuss how changes in gut microbiota composition (dysbiosis) may contribute to the disease’s highly immunosuppressive environment and resistance to treatment.
The review analyses studies published up to the end of 2020, drawing from MEDLINE/PubMed, Scopus, and European surveillance systems.
The GREEN-TRIALS project aims to create a set of training materials to introduce practical ways to embed environmental sustainability into academic clinical research. These resources will be complemented by teachers’ guides and an online learning platform.
