This study projects the energy cneeds and carbon footprints of energy centres in Germany by 2030 and maps the pathway towards zero emissions.
Emerging pollutants (EPs), such as pharmaceuticals and personal care products (particularly antibiotics) and microplastics, pose significant threats to global water quality and human health, leading to increased interest in the use of constructed wetlands (CWs) for their purification. This paper reviews the literature from 2014 to 2024 on CWs' effectiveness in removing various EPs.

This study explored the importance of inclusive, cross-cultural research on sexual victimization, highlighting how marginalized groups, including indigenous and gender-diverse populations, are often underrepresented and at higher risk of abuse. It demonstrates that validated, culturally sensitive measures like the SAHQ can improve understanding and support targeted interventions for these vulnerable communities worldwide.

Genomics provides useful information for human health and potentially population-based treatments. Here Corpas et al, call for increased diversity in genomic sampling, especially to fill in missing populations, so all may share in the benefits of genomic-based precision health.

Previous studies have reported an overall lower breast cancer incidence in women from Asian and Black backgrounds compared with white women. Age standardised and age specific incidence rates in the largest specific ethnicities within Asian and Black groups are not reported. This important study uses data on population size and the age distribution of women in five ethnic groups of interest (white British, Black African, Black Caribbean, Indian and Pakistani) were extracted from the Office for National Statistics 2001, 2011 and 2021 census data for England.
