This chapter aligns with SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-being) by addressing the potential health risks associated with nanoparticle exposure and advocating for precautionary measures to protect human health. It also supports SDG 15 (Life on Land) by exploring the ecological impacts of nanomaterials and highlighting their role in environmental remediation to preserve ecosystem integrity.
The authors present a holistic research agenda for sustainable computing that aims to reduce the carbon emissions associated with the manufacture and operation of future computer systems, a pressing objective given computings rapid growth in emerging applications such as artificial intelligence. The agenda integrates ideas in software design, hardware architecture, renewable energy infrastructure, power and carbon accounting, and economic policy.
Hydrogel formulations hold promise for efficient drug delivery in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) treatment. Non-invasive in vivo spatiotemporal profiling of drug release is highly warranted but clinically difficult due to the need of additional labeling. We have developed an inflammation-targeting olsalazine-conjugated peptide hydrogel (Olsa-Hydrogel) that serves as an exchange saturation transfer magnetic resonance imaging (CEST MRI) activatable prodrug system.
This chapter supports UN SDGs 7, 11, and 12 by highlighting the integration of renewable energy sources, smart grids, and energy-efficient technologies in smart cities to promote sustainability and reduce environmental impact; addressing challenges of urbanization and promoting inclusive, resilient, and adaptive urban development; and discussing waste management practices, such as recycling and waste-to-energy initiatives, that contribute to a more circular economy and sustainable resource management in cities.
This content aligns with Goals 4 and 10 by discussing ways to make education more inclusive and equitable by integrating Western science and Indigenous epistemologies.
This content aligns with Goals 3, 10, and 16 by discussing how UNESCO’s current work on a ‘Declaration on the Ethics of Neurotechnology’ represents a suitable opportunity to make indigenous interests and positions visible through amendments to individual texts of international law.
This content aligns with Goal 3: Good Health and Well-being by pursuing a respectful and reciprocal relationship between Indigenous and Western scientific ways of knowing about human brains and minds.
This content aligns with Goal 3: Good Health and Wellbeing and Goal 9: Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure by discussing the multifactorial influences that contribute to Alzheimer's Disease progression.
This article describes the design, development, and evaluation of a virtual assistant named 'Taylor' that was created to support disabled students in sharing information about their disabilities and learning about available support and adjustments at a distance-learning university.
