Autophagy in Health and Disease - Chapter 20: Autophagic processes in early- and late-onset Alzheimer’s disease

Elsevier,

Autophagy in Health and Disease, Volume , 1 January 2021
This book chapter advances SDG #3 and #10 by reviewing the extant literature on autophagy in AD and covers recent progress on the molecular mechanisms of NAD+-dependent mitophagy/autophagy regulation and mechanisms underlying the anti-AD potential of NAD+. Further studies to define the NAD+-mitophagy/autophagy axis may shed light on novel therapeutics to treat AD and potentially provide insights into other neurodegenerative diseases.

Smart urban forests: An overview of more-than-human and more-than-real urban forest management in Australian cities

Elsevier,

Digital Geography and Society, Volume 2, January 2021

These are uncertain times in the Anthropocene, where the health and resilience of all urban inhabitants should be key themes for cities striving for sustainability. To this end, local councils in Australia are applying digital technologies with increasing complexity as components of their urban forest management. This paper applies a more-than-human lens to analyse Australian local council urban forest policies, documents and project information for their inclusion and application of digital technologies.

Water Sensitive Cities Index: A diagnostic tool to assess water sensitivity and guide management actions

Elsevier, Water Research, Volume 186, 1 November 2020
Cities are wrestling with the practical challenges of transitioning urban water services to become water sensitive; capable of enhancing liveability, sustainability, resilience and productivity in the face of climate change, rapid urbanisation, degraded ecosystems and ageing infrastructure. Indicators can be valuable for guiding actions for improvement, but there is not yet an established index that measures the full suite of attributes that constitute water sensitive performance.

The river water quality before and during the Movement Control Order (MCO) in Malaysia

Elsevier, Case Studies in Chemical and Environmental Engineering, Volume 2, September 2020
Data in 2016 and 2017 has shown that most of Malaysia's river water quality was in Water Quality Index Class II and Class III. The implementation of the Movement Control Order (MCO) has restricted business activities, human movements as well as anthropogenic activities. The sudden decline in human activities has directly impacted the river water quality. Several observations conducted by reporters of local newspapers, reports released by the Department of Environment (DoE) and Ministry of Environment and Water have shown positive changes in water river quality.
