The article proposes a predictive control strategy for Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs) that utilizes route information from digital map providers to enable electric driving within zero-emission zones. The study develops a supervisory control with Dynamic Programming in the cloud to calculate an optimal State of Charge (SOC) trajectory, which is then used to guide the rule-based controller in the vehicle.
This article analyses over 1,200 legal and policy documents from 193 countries to assess global efforts toward educational equity, focusing on barriers related to income, disability, gender, and discrimination. It reveals significant gaps, including tuition fees before secondary school, lack of protections against sexual harassment and disability discrimination, and limited provisions for inclusive education.

This article focuses on whether handwriting and typing contribute differentially to lexical acquisition within the alphabetic system, providing distinct sensorimotor experiences for words through different motor actions and consequent attentional and time constraints in producing letters. We examined a sample of middle school students with reading and spelling disabilities alongside age-matched peers with typical development.

Advancing Brain Cancer Care: Precision, AI Innovation, and African Insights, 2025, pp 209-231

This chapter explores how big data analytics and advanced methodologies like multiomics and AI are transforming brain cancer research, enabling early diagnosis, personalized treatment, and targeted prevention. By improving health outcomes through precision oncology (SDG 3: Good Health and Well-being) and addressing global disparities in cancer care via collaborative initiatives and equitable access (SDG 10: Reduced Inequalities), these data-driven approaches reshape the future of brain cancer treatment worldwide.
This study investigated how repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) combined with cognitive training affects functional connectivity in both gray matter and white matter in patients with mild to moderate Alzheimer’s disease. Results showed that rTMS modulated activity in key brain regions, particularly within the limbic system, with changes in white matter connectivity correlating with cognitive improvements.
The article provides a comprehensive overview of the role of the endogenous detoxification system in the pathogenesis of age-related neurodegenerative diseases, particularly Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Parkinson's disease (PD). It highlights epidemiological evidence linking environmental toxicant exposure to the onset and progression of these diseases, and discusses how dysfunction of detoxification pathways, including enzymes and transporters, can exacerbate neurodegenerative processes. The article also explores the potential of targeting nuclear receptor signaling pathways, such as the pregnane X receptor (PXR), as a promising therapeutic strategy to restore detoxification capacity and modify disease trajectories.
This article describes the discovery and characterization of FJMU1887, a novel brain-penetrant small-molecule inhibitor of Galectin-3 (Gal-3) identified through an AI-driven drug discovery platform. FJMU1887 demonstrated potent anti-inflammatory effects, reduced Aβ pathology, and improved cognitive function in Alzheimer's disease mouse models, highlighting its therapeutic potential for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease.
