Through this review, we highlight how harbours can be used as “in situ laboratories” given the variety of anthropogenic stressors (such as plastic, chemical, sound, light pollution, and invasive species) that can be simultaneously investigated in harbours over long periods of time.
With climate models predicting a decrease in soil moisture conditions in many regions in the future, it is crucial for soil ecology to comprehend how springtails respond to soil condition changes. A study by Wang et al., 2022 investigating the effects of soil moisture on the euedaphic springtail, Folsomia candida, found that reproduction was the most sensitive to soil water potential, suggesting that population recruitment is limited to periods of high soil moisture, while body growth and activities may continue in moderately dry soil, contributing to species resilience during drought.
Defects in Coenzyme Q (CoQ) metabolism have been associated with primary mitochondrial disorders, neurodegenerative diseases and metabolic conditions. The consequences of CoQ deficiency have not been fully addressed, and effective treatment remains challenging. This article provides key mechanistic insights into defects in CoQ metabolism and identifes potential disease biomarkers.
This Article supports SDG 3 by highlighting the benefts of combination therapy with beta blockers and angiotensin receptor blockers in patients with Marfan syndrome, a rare genetic disorder.

Current Developments in Biotechnology and Bioengineering: Microplastics and Nanoplastics: Occurrence, Environmental Impacts and Treatment Processes, 2023, Pages 387-403
This chapter aligns with Goal 6: Clean water and sanitation, Goal 13: Climate action, and Goal 14: Life below water by providing an overview of the state of knowledge of interactions between climate change and MPs/NPs.
This article ties to SDG 3. This study reviewed the literature on family-based mental health interventions for refugees across migration contexts and settings to identify types of interventions and intervention components, implementation approaches and to assess effectiveness.
This content aligns with Goal 3: Good Health and Wellbeing as well as Goal 10: Reducing Inequalities by outlining key aspects of disability studies and considers how this strongly emerging field is intersecting with scholarship and activism across many varieties of neurodivergence
This chapter advances UNSDG 4 and 10 addressing Indigenous communities' efforts for self-determination and the recovery, restoration, revitalization, and renewal of their languages. This chapter is authored by Indigenous scholar-practitioners from distinct Indigenous communities - Hawaiʻi, Kanien'keha:ka, Lytton First Nation, Isthmus Zapotec – who share their perspectives and lived-experiences of community-centered language work in the areas of intergenerational knowledge relations, curriculum, and media and technology.

Wind Turbine Icing Physics and Anti-/De-icing Technology, Wind Energy Engineering, 2022, Pages 135-168
This chapter contributes to SDG goals 7, 11, and 13, by explaining advanced techniques for wind turbine icing mitigation, supporting improved performance and durability of wind turbines, a crucial renewable energy source for sustainable development and climate objectives.
One in five older adults experience symptoms of depression and anxiety. Digital mental health interventions are promising in their ability to provide researchers, mental health professionals, clinicians, and patients with personalised tools for assessing their behaviour and seeking consultation, treatment, and peer support. This systematic review looks at existing randomised controlled trial studies on digital mental health interventions for older adults.
