While there is an extensive and substantial body of epidemiological research on gender-specific differences regarding the prevalence, persistence, and comorbidity of Emotional and Behavioral Disorders (EBD) in childhood and adolescence, empirical research on inclusive education largely lacks a differentiated and gender-sensitive research approach. However, initial empirical findings indicate that girls with internalizing behavior problems are to be considered a particularly vulnerable group in school regarding their social integration, their self-concept, their well-being in school and their perception and interpretation of social interaction processes. Can girls with internalizing behavior problems thus be referred to as the 'forgotten gender' of empirical research on inclusive education?

Plastic waste is a mounting environmental problem, and heterogeneous catalysts offer a promising route to upcycling such waste into useful products. This article reviews the chemistry underlying such processes.

No net biodiversity loss is a key goal of many green energy projects. The authors argue that indirect benefits to biodiversity should not be included in no-net-loss calculations.
The study reveals that achieving both environmental sustainability and nutrient adequacy in the diets of children and adolescents is challenging, as diets richer in nutrients tend to have a greater ecological footprint. While there is some evidence of recent improvements in diet-related environmental indicators, substantial capacity for change remains. The article calls for targeted interventions and population-specific dietary guidelines that consider both health and environmental impacts, particularly for vulnerable youth populations. More comprehensive research is needed to develop sustainable dietary strategies that do not compromise essential nutrition for growing children and adolescents.

This content aligns with Goals 15, 16, and 10 by discussing how UGGps actively involve local and indigenous peoples, preserving and celebrating their culture; emphasizing the bottom-up approach of UGGps, which involves active participation of local and indigenous communities; and showing how preservation of indigenous cultures, traditional knowledge, and practices within UGGps promotes cultural diversity and inclusion.

This content aligns with Goal 3: Good Health and Goal 9: Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure by discussing the relationship between sleep and mental health in athletes and exploring the infrastructure in place to manage athlete mental health.
This study aimed to examine relationships among eating frequency, timing and time window, and cognitive performance and novel Alzheimer disease (AD) biomarkers in cognitively healthy and mildly cognitively impaired middle-aged and older adults. It concluded that an eating pattern characterized by less frequent eating and/or by earlier times is present in individuals with worse cognitive performance. The results shed light on the relevance of temporal eating patterns as potential early markers of behavioral or metabolic changes related to AD pathology.
This review provides a comprehensive overview of both conventional and novel therapeutic strategies for Alzheimer's disease (AD), highlighting traditional Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibition and emerging approaches such as Butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) inhibition, Tau Protein inhibitors, and COX-2 inhibition, while also exploring the roles of endocannabinoids, cholesterol-lowering drugs, and microRNA, alongside novel research tools and current clinical trials, to offer a consolidated resource for advancing AD treatment and research.
This study found that Alzheimer’s disease neuropathological change (ADNC) is associated with gene expression changes that may impair cholesterol biosynthesis in neurones but not astrocytes, whilst levels of cortical cholesterol show a weak relationship to dementia status.
The study discusses the latest developments in Alzheimer’s disease treatment, with a focus on monoclonal antibodies and aptamers. It covers the current state of therapies, recent drug approvals, and future perspectives on immunotherapeutic strategies.
