The article discusses the development of improved impact tests and characterization of ice balls to assess the hail resistance of photovoltaic modules, in order to address the increasing frequency and intensity of hailstorms due to climate change
Food insecurity among Indigenous peoples in Canada is a significant public health issue, impacting all four pillars of food security: availability, access, utilization, and stability. A literature review identified 91 studies indicating that economic disadvantages, high food prices, lack of transportation, and climate change are major contributors to food insecurity. Traditional food systems are disrupted by loss of knowledge, poor food quality, and food safety concerns. Addressing these issues requires culturally specific integrated approaches to improve food availability, cost, knowledge, and quality.
The article ties into several Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 9 (Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure) and SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production). It emphasizes the need for sustainable technology, innovations, and policies to address the challenges in metals production, highlighting the importance of recycling, reuse, and the development of green technologies to meet international environmental goals.
This article ties into SDG 3, 10, and 13 by compiling in a Systematic Review the effects of extreme weather events on access to HIV services
Women continue to lack representation in lung cancer clinical trials and are typically treated with data generated from majority male patient study populations. Clinicians should understand the unique factors and consequences associated with lung cancer in women; thus, a holistic approach that acknowledges environmental and societal factors is necessary.

Plants have a microbiome, a diverse community of microorganisms, including bacteria, fungi, and viruses, living inside and on their tissues. This review article contains deeper insight in endomicrobiome related research work in last years, recruitment, niche development, nutrient dynamics, stress removal mechanisms, bioactive services in plant health development, community architecture and communication, and immunity interplay in producing stress resilient future crop.
Strigolactones (SLs) are a new class of plant hormones that play a significant role in regulating various aspects of plant growth promotion, stress tolerance and influence the rhizospheric microbiome. GR24 is a synthetic SL analog used in scientific research to understand the effects of SL on plants and to act as a plant growth promoter.
High soil temperature is a key environmental factor threatening food production in hot climates, especially in the era of global warming. Additionally, high soil evaporation under sunlight leads to significant water loss. Currently, there is a lack of effective and feasible soil management methods during hot seasons. This paper presents a soil-cooling strategy based on radiative cooling mulch.
