Philanthropic giving has a long history in libraries and remains a source of critical funding. Cultivating giving from individuals through fundraising expands the reputation of libraries and can relieve some of the strain from the decline in funding from traditional funding sources such as from government and, in the case of academic libraries, higher education institutions.

Salmeterols (SMTs) are persistent organic pollutants slowly degrading and accumulating in aquatic ecosystems, affecting aquatic life and posing several environmental and health challenges in water sources. This study investigates the adsorption of SMT from aqueous solutions using a novel nano-sized copper-based metal-organic framework (Cu-MOF).

International Human Solidarity Day 2025: Celebrating Unity and Collective Action for a Better World

Observed annually on December 20, International Human Solidarity Day emphasizes the importance of solidarity in addressing global challenges like poverty, inequality, and social exclusion. Established by the United Nations General Assembly in 2005, the day calls on governments, organizations, and individuals to work together to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and promote human and social development across all nations.

Neurodegenerative disorders, such as Parkinson's disease (PD) and Alzheimer's disease (AD), have a global prevalence and profoundly impact both motor and cognitive functions. Although adeno-associated virus (AAV)-based gene therapy has shown promise, its application for treating central nervous system (CNS) diseases faces several challenges, including effective delivery of AAV vectors across the blood-brain barrier, determining optimal dosages, and achieving targeted distribution.
This study shows that the Cognitive Stimulation Therapy program can significantly improve general cognition, communication, and reduce depression in people living with dementia, regardless of the underlying pathology. However, the effects vary by dementia subtype, with some gains maintained long-term in vascular dementia (VaD) but not in Alzheimer, especially regarding narrative abilities and depressive symptoms, highlighting the importance of personalized approaches.
In this review, Hu et al. summarize fluid biomarker findings across 12 anti-amyloid-β clinical trials. The emerging biomarker data provide evidence of impact of the new therapies on the underlying pathophysiological processes of the AD, supporting the presence of a disease-modifying effect.
Wind and solar energy in Small Island Developing States for mitigating global climate change This perspective highlights the benefits of developing onshore-offshore wind and solar power for addressing climate change in Small Island Developing States.
World-class universities (WCUs) are key players in promoting global sustainability. This study shows that WCU's contributions to global sustainability can be seen in five different dimensions: education and research, outreach and engagement, campus operation and transportation, landscapes and ecosystems, and global leadership and impact evaluation.
