Although older people have been recognised as a vulnerable group in humanitarian crises, they have not traditionally been considered a priority for humanitarian assistance.
The impact of climate change and increasing demand for energy requires the development of more sustainable energy technologies. Hence, thermal energy storage (TES) methods can contribute to more appropriate thermal energy production-consumption through bridging the heat demand-supply gap. In addition, TES is capable of taking over all elements of the energy nexus including mechanical, electricity, fuel, and light modules by means of decreasing heat losses, waste recovery, and energy-saving approaches to improving the system's performance.

This chapter advances the UN SDG Goal 3: Good Health, Goal 5: Gender Equity, and Goal 10: Reduced Inequalities by highlighting social determinants like gender inequality, starvation, nonavailability of basic nutrients, etc. are described in detail, on the basis of social exclusion, disparity, aging issues, domestic violence, and health problem like obstetric and reproduction.
This study compares GM (Growth Monitoring) manuals from Tanzania, India and The Netherlands with each other, and with the materials for the WHO’s training course on child growth assessment.
Nanomaterials including engineered nanomaterials and nanoplastics emerge as new pollutants to the ecosystem. In particular, studies on the adverse effects of nanomaterials on the brain are limited.
Various animal models offer opportunities to evaluate neurological effects of nanomaterials. We summarize recent studies and key findings on neurotoxicological effects of nanomaterials, focusing on zebrafish.
Using agronomic experiment data from 62 studies between 1987 and 2021, we employ a meta-analysis to analyze the factors contributing to the heterogeneous effects of wastewater irrigation on crop yield.
ARPKD is a rare disease. This review explores the genetics of ARPKD and is accompanied by a short video by the author with a summary of the article.
An article on Alzheimer's disease progression, in the context of SDG 3, focusing specifically on the dynamics of soluble TREM2 and its association with amyloid and tau markers, neuroimaging features, and cognition.
In vitro and in vivo studies showed that melatonin therapy is effective against AD. The emerging novel melatonin-based therapies are potential treatment options in AD.
This content links with Goal 3: Good health and well-being and Goal 10: Reduced Inequalities by providing insight on a group of inherited disorders that have an effect on the RPE-photoreceptor complex and choriocapillaris, causing a range of symptoms and in many cases gradual visual loss.
