Summary: This paper discusses the application of demarketing in the tourism industry and its value in promoting sustainability and degrowth in tourism. It argues that demarketing can contribute significantly to degrowing tourism at a local or regional scale, but also highlights its weaknesses in contributing at other scales. The concept of degrowth is seen as a continuum, with demarketing being just one aspect of it.

Summary: This study demonstrates for the first time that hydrated titanic acid can be used as an ultra-low-potential anode for aqueous zinc-ion batteries, addressing the dendrite issue of zinc metal anodes and improving the overall performance. The low-potential, high-stable nature of the H2Ti3O7 center dot xH2O anode shows exceptional potential for aqueous zinc-ion batteries, with impressive cycling performance and coulombic efficiency. The use of interlayer crystal water in the anode facilitates the insertion and extraction of Zn2+ and H+, contributing to the battery's high output voltage of over 1 V.

Summary: The Lightning Network allows for Bitcoin payments to be made off the blockchain, resulting in reduced congestion and increased efficiency. Our study reveals that this improvement cannot be accounted for by other factors and the impact of centralization on efficiency remains inconclusive. These findings have implications for the future of cryptocurrencies as a payment method and their environmental impact.

Summary: During the CMIP6 historical period, aerosols have been the largest negative forcing and played a crucial role in counterbalancing the warming effect of greenhouse gases. However, aerosol forcing has been decreasing globally since the beginning of the 21st century, augmenting global warming.

Summary: By loading different weight contents of elemental sulfur on ultrathin titanic acid nanosheets, a sulfur/titanic acid hybrid structure was designed and synthesized. The hybrid structure exhibited enhanced photocatalytic CO2 reduction performance under simulated solar light illumination, with a CH4 yield rate of 1.92 μmol h-1 g-1.
