Summary: This study aimed to understand how digital health design leaders select and use behavioral science theories, models, and frameworks (TMFs). The results showed that the value of TMFs in digital health design varied among leaders and considerations should be made regarding their source, adaptability, evidence base, etc. The study suggested opportunities to improve TMF reporting, design, accessibility, and enhance design teams' capacity to use TMFs appropriately.

Summary: The study reveals that ZIFs degrade under visible-light irradiation, leading to dissolution of metal cores and organic ligands, resulting in frame structure collapse. Photodegradation of ZIF-8 alleviates issues like developmental inhibition and oxidative stress, while that of ZIF-67 aggravates nanotoxicity.

Summary: Despite the growing evidence of the harmful effects of climate change, there are still conspiracy theories claiming that it is a hoax. Previous research has shown that belief in these theories leads to negative consequences, such as skepticism towards climate change, lack of support for climate policies, and weak intention for pro-environmental behaviors. This study examines the relationship between belief in climate change conspiracy theories and everyday pro-environmental behaviors in mainland China and the U.S., finding consistent evidence that such beliefs are associated with less engagement in pro-environmental behaviors both concurrently and longitudinally.

Summary: Innovative approaches to environmental communication can influence people's emotions and memory, leading to behavior change and environmental action. Interactive environmental art and static booklets can effectively communicate complex scientific data and overcome barriers in traditional science communication.

Summary: Contaminants such as heavy metal ions and toxic gases have harmful impacts on the environment and health. Highly crystalline porous metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have shown promising properties in removing pollutants, especially in water treatment and gas storage and separation. However, challenges and trends need to be addressed for future developments.

Summary: This study aimed to identify and describe theories, models, and frameworks of health research partnerships, and report on the concepts of knowledge user engagement represented in these theories, models, and frameworks. The results showed that among the 39 included models or frameworks, only two were underpinned by theory, and the most common concept of knowledge user engagement was principles/values. These models and frameworks can be used by researchers and knowledge users to guide various aspects of health research partnerships.

Summary: Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) have garnered extensive attention in the environmental and energy fields due to their low density, adjustable structure, functionalization, and stability. Research on COFs shows rapid growth, with active countries including USA, Germany, Japan, China, and India. Research hotspots include synthesis, adsorption, catalysis, membrane, sensor, and energy storage, with challenges such as improving preparation methods for mass production and addressing the imbalance in environmental applications.

Summary: Biological diversity, along with climate change, is the basis and an important indicator of biosphere integrity. Siberia is experiencing rapid climate change, extreme weather, and transformation of land use, leading to impacts on traditional land use by Indigenous People and ecosystem services, with consequences for the economy.

Summary: This study conducted a citation analysis on the utilization of theories, models, and frameworks (TMFs) in aging research. The results indicate an increasing utilization of TMFs in aging research, but only 41% of the usage was meaningful. The study highlights the importance of more meaningful utilization of TMFs in quickly and effectively translating evidence-based practices and care models into routine care, particularly as the population of older adults continues to grow.

Summary: Adults often perceive today's youth as worse than in the past, which may be attributed to memory bias. As people age, they tend to hold harsher beliefs about present children. However, those who believe in traits remain stable throughout life exhibit more forgiving attitudes towards today's youth. Beliefs about children becoming deficient in certain traits may depend on individuals' own possession of those traits.

Summary: Understanding the variables that influence pro-environmental intentions is crucial, as this research shows how incremental implicit theories about climate change (ITCC) can positively impact individual pro-environmental intentions when interacting with the sense of responsibility toward climate change. The study highlights the importance of promoting incremental ITCC interventions in environmental education to enhance pro-environmental behaviors.

Summary: Land scarcity is increasing over time, and its impacts on the economy and environment are complex and varied. This study uses a comprehensive model to simulate different scenarios of increased land demand from biofuels and decreased land supply from conservation. The findings show that while biofuel consumption and land conservation can reduce carbon emissions, they also lead to higher food prices, reduced crop production, and increased water withdrawals. The impacts vary across different regions, highlighting the importance of multisector modeling frameworks and acknowledging uncertainties when analyzing land scarcity impacts.

Summary: There is a growing need to involve private actors in public adaptation in urban systems. Urban administrators have limited control over urban dynamics, and the actions of private actors have a significant influence. A conceptual framework combining cognitive and behavioral theory, institutional analysis, adaptive capacity, and research on urban adaptation governance is used to understand the potential for private provisioning. The case of Cape Town's response to drought illustrates the complex interactions that shape private actors' willingness to engage in public-oriented adaptation.
