Mxene-Based Hybrid Nano-Architectures for Environmental Remediation and Sensor Applications: From Design to Applications, Micro and Nano Technologies series, 2024, Pages 113-127

This chapter aligns with Goals 12 and 13 by highlighting the importance of various MXene-based hybrid nanomaterial types in the elimination of heavy metals from wastewater.
The researchers examined the use of footwear that incorporates force-sensing resistor sensors to classify lower limb disorders affecting the knee, hip, and ankle joints. The outcomes of the study reveal promising findings for future gait analysis and injury diagnosis, and the potential of force-sensing resistors (FSRs) and machine learning techniques for improving the assessment of lower limb injuries, and thereby furthering SDG3.
In this episode of the "World We Want" podcast, Márcia Balisciano interviews Filip Neele, Lead Scientist at TNO in Utrecht, the Netherlands. They discuss carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology as a “key” in energy transition and its role in supporting global sustainability.
The cascading effects of biodiversity decline on human well-being present a pressing challenge for sustainable development. Conservation efforts often prioritize safeguarding specific species, habitats, or intact ecosystems but overlook biodiversity's fundamental role in providing Nature's Contributions to People (NCP) in human-modified landscapes.

The objective of this study was to assess the neuropsychological characteristics of individuals with early-onset Alzheimer's disease (EOAD), late-onset Alzheimer's disease (LOAD), and very-late-onset Alzheimer's disease (VLOAD). The findings indicate notable neuropsychological variations across different age groups, demonstrating a progressive decline in cognitive function with age rather than distinct clinical presentations.
This study identifies research trends and hotspots on the comorbidity between periodontitis and neurodegenerative diseases, incl. Alzheimer's.
This article discusses the manifestation of apathy-like behaviors in Alzheimer's disease (AD) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD) mouse models through the assessment of nest-building behavior, highlighting differences in nesting proficiency and anhedonia between tau transgenic mice lines, suggesting apathy-like phenotypes in the context of neurodegenerative diseases.
In Alzheimer's disease research, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers Amyloid beta (Aβ), Tau, and pTau are well-validated, and this study demonstrates that a Z-score based harmonization approach can effectively standardize CSF and amyloid imaging data across multiple cohorts, providing consistent biomarker cut-offs and comparable GWAS results to traditional methods, without introducing spurious findings.
Pakistan's water resources experiencing mounting pressure. UN SDG 6 provides a roadmap for achieving sustainable water management. Long-term planning and community engagement are key to success. Policy recommendations include efficient pricing and climate change integration.
