Summary: A study assessing freshwater salinity patterns across seven regional river basins globally found that many sub-basins temporarily exceeded safe irrigation water-use thresholds and 57% showed increasing salinisation trends. Investigation revealed that agricultural activities are common contributors in areas with high salinity levels and increasing salinisation trends.

Summary: This study aims to optimize water resources allocation among stakeholders in the Sefidrud River basin in Iran through a multi-objective optimization model to prevent water conflicts and achieve equity within society. The results show the provinces of Guilan and Hamadan had the highest and lowest amounts of water allocated, respectively, and suggest changes to current operational methods to prevent serious conflicts in this transboundary river basin.

Summary: The rapid expansion of China's vehicle fleet puts pressure on efforts to reduce carbon emissions. However, concerns have been raised about the environmental impact of electric vehicles (EVs) during the production phase. A study using a computational model found that the increase in EV sales has a negligible impact on the overall economy and the difference in CO2 emissions between EVs and internal combustion engine vehicles is marginal. Therefore, large-scale adoption of EVs will not hinder the sustainable development of the automotive industry.

Summary: This study compares the outcomes from three models in the trans-boundary Saskatchewan River Basin in Canada and finds that the integrated model, which captures both regional and sectoral economic interdependencies and key features of the water resources system in more detail, seems most relevant for water allocation.

Summary: In recent years, advancements in hydrological research and water resources management have failed to effectively address the intensifying global water crisis. The lack of interaction between hydrological research and water resource management is identified as a key issue. Watershed science has the potential to bridge this gap and provide a new approach to addressing the current water crisis and achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

Summary: This study combines the water footprint and virtual water trade balance to investigate the decoupling of GDP and consumption water footprint in Brazil. The results show a negative decoupling between consumption water footprint and GDP, with a higher impact on water resources from the export agenda compared to the domestic market. Primary-exporting sectors, especially agriculture and livestock, strongly influence this result.

Summary: This study investigates the employment level and labor supply issues in Japan under different decarbonization scenarios. The results show that positive job creation may occur in 2030, but workforce shortages could be a concern by 2050. Additionally, over 30% of employment in non-electricity and manufacture sectors may be induced overseas by 2050.

Summary: The present work aims to find the optimal solution of Nash Equilibrium in water resources allocation using traditional Game Theory. By introducing Particle Swarm Optimization, a cooperative game model is proposed. The results show that the PSO-based model outperforms the Genetic Algorithm and multi-country cooperation can lead to more economic benefits.

Summary: This study demonstrates that breakthrough innovations in energy efficiency in industrial activity have varying impacts on aggregate energy use, with the variation being partly determined by the structure of the economy's input-output network. Through a general equilibrium model, the research reveals that industrial energy efficiency improvements affect aggregate energy use through adjustments in factor and commodity markets as well as a process of structural transformation. The study introduces new energy centrality concepts to measure the extent to which an industry implicitly produces or consumes energy resources, and finds that variations in these concepts explain a significant portion of the rebound effect, highlighting the critical role of input-output structure in determining the aggregate effects of energy efficiency.

Summary: Hybrid beamforming MIMO system reduces hardware cost compared to fully digital beamforming by destroying the one-to-one mapping between RF chain and PA. This article proposes a novel DPD model for hybrid beamforming MIMO systems, which linearizes the PA output signal and aggregated far-field signal using a feedback compensation block. Additionally, a low complexity DPD estimation algorithm is introduced. The proposed scheme achieves satisfactory performance without relying on channel measurement or assumptions of massive antennas. Simulation results confirm its effectiveness.

Summary: This paper introduces a new framework for evaluating the sustainability of basin-wide ecosystem services, using the Zarrinehrud river basin as a case study to assess the impact of climate change and water resources management scenarios on ecosystem services. The study finds that among all scenarios considered, WRM scenario 128 is the best option for improving ecosystem services in the study area.

Summary: The study found that the intensity of direct meltwater withdrawal was highest in the agriculture sector, with other sectors relying more on embodied meltwater withdrawal driven by final demand. In 2012, all sectors required inflows of virtual water for their production processes, indicating the impact of cryospheric water resources on the socioeconomic system.

Summary: This study examines the impact of global macroeconomic shocks on the restructuring and substitution processes of national production networks using mathematical tools. A new mathematical model is proposed, which consists of complementary problems for optimal resource allocation and equilibrium price indices. A model identification algorithm is suggested, along with a scenario projection algorithm for inter-industry flows. The study also introduces a modified methodology for calculating scenario shifts in final consumer spending using demand analysis. The application of these methods to tax collection scenarios for Kazakhstan's production network is demonstrated.

Summary: This study developed a marginal abatement cost curve to identify the least-cost investment options with the highest potential for hunger reduction. Investing in agricultural R&D, agricultural extension services, ICT, and female literacy improvement are low-cost options that have a relatively large potential for reducing hunger.
