Summary: This study aimed to investigate the correlation between mobile phone radiation and human health, including cognitive performance, health-related quality of life, and sleep. The results showed that there were sporadic associations between wireless phone use and screen time with cognitive performance, but no significant associations with HRQoL or sleep duration and quality. Increased screen time was found to be associated with increased stress, but there was no association with phone call time or sleep.

Summary: This study aimed to characterize the dose of radiofrequency electromagnetic fields (RF-EMF) absorbed by children over a 2-year period. The study found that the dose of RF-EMF absorbed by the head and brain-related tissues increased in 12 different usage scenarios, while the dose absorbed by the whole body and heart remained stable. Ethnicity, phone ownership, and socio-economic status were associated with the estimated RF-EMF dose.

Summary: This study found that exposure to radiofrequency electromagnetic fields increases alpha power in the EEG, with a greater effect seen in eyes open conditions compared to eyes closed conditions and at the end of the exposure period. The use of eyes closed conditions and shorter exposure durations may explain why some studies have failed to detect this increase in alpha power related to RF-EMF exposure.

Summary: The study found that the alpha/theta ratio was lower in all brain regions in Parkinson's Disease patients compared to healthy controls, with significant positive correlations between alpha/theta in the right occipital lobe and visuospatial performance in PD. This suggests that the alpha/theta ratio in the right occipital lobe may be an important marker for evaluating early signs of cognitive decline and dementia risk in PD.

Summary: The objective of this study is to analyze the differences in resting-state electroencephalogram (rs-EEG) spectral features between Parkinson's Disease (PD) and healthy subjects using Functional Data Analysis (FDA), and to explore the external validity and reproducibility of the findings in four independent cohorts. The study included 169 subjects from four centers, and differences in features were compared using both averaged epochs and epoch-to-epoch FDA models. The results showed significantly higher theta relative power spectral density in PD patients across all datasets, as well as higher pre-alpha relative power spectral density in three out of four datasets.

Summary: In recent years, there has been increasing exposure to radiofrequency (RF) radiation emitted by wireless devices in the human environment, which could be absorbed in the body. This study aimed to investigate the combined effects of 2422 MHz (Wi-Fi) RF exposure and UV radiation on the inflammation process in the skin. The results suggest a slight but not significant increase in cytokine concentrations after prior UV exposure to 2422 MHz Wi-Fi radiation, and no adaptive response phenomenon was detected.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the potential impact of mobile phone radiofrequency electromagnetic field (RF-EMF) exposure on brainwaves. The results showed that exposure to RF-EMF modulated the theta rhythm of the resting electroencephalogram (EEG), while delta and beta rhythms were not affected. This study suggests that acute exposure to RF-EMF can alter brainwaves and further research is needed to explore the long-term effects, especially in high-risk or sensitive populations.

Summary: The study aimed to assess the influence of radiofrequency electromagnetic field (RF-EMF) exposure on sleep patterns in preterm newborns. The results indicate that chronic RF-EMF exposure may have an impact on sleep structure parameters in preterm newborns, while acute RF-EMF exposure does not show significant relationship with sleep parameters. Further studies are needed to confirm these findings and explore mid- to long-term sleep-related cardiorespiratory and neurodevelopmental outcomes.

Summary: Due to its simple process, environmental friendliness, and low operating costs, biometallurgy has become a popular technology for metals recovering from low-grade ores and tailings. An optimized agar was used to isolate and grow functional bacteria, resulting in the successful isolation of six functional stains. These strains were further tested for their ability to leach metals from polymetallic sulfide tailings, with significant improvements observed when the strains were mixed together. The selection of leaching process should be based on tailings composition and target metals.

Summary: This study examines the association between urban Green and blue spaces (GBS) exposure and Emotion and behavior problems (EBP) in youth populations. The findings suggest that higher exposure to GBS, particularly green spaces (GS) and blue spaces (BS), is associated with a decrease in the risk of developing total difficulties in young individuals. The joint effect of GS and BS may also contribute to the decrease in EBPs.

Summary: Air pollution is associated with a range of health issues and gestational exposure to environmental pollutants may be linked to neurodevelopmental disorders. This study investigated the effects of oral gestational exposure to particulate matter (PM) on ultrasonic vocalizations (USV). The findings suggest that this exposure may lead to social deficits and abnormal gene expression related to neurotransmitter systems. Further research is needed to better understand the effects of air pollution on neurodevelopmental disorders and the neurotransmission systems involved.

Summary: The present study investigated the sustainable approach for wastewater treatment using waste algal blooms. The biochar produced by the marine algae Ulva reticulata was used to remove chromium, nickel, and zinc from aqueous solutions. The study examined the adsorbents' properties and stability using SEM/EDX, FTIR, and XRD. The results showed that the biochar had high removal efficiency for the toxic metals, and the packed bed column effectively removed the heavy metal ions. The Thomas and Adams-Bohart models were found to best fit the regression values, and desorption studies were conducted to understand the sorption and elution processes.

Summary: The selection of predictor variables is crucial in building a digital mapping model for potentially toxic elements (PTEs) in soil. Traditionally, spatial and spectral parameters have been used as predictor variables, but the temporal dimension is often overlooked. This study demonstrates the value of incorporating temporal indices in the model, leading to significant performance improvements. The temporal-spatial-spectral covariate combinations used in a random forest (RF) algorithm achieve satisfactory mapping accuracy and outperform other methods.

Summary: Heteroatom doping can reconfigure the electronic structure of heterogeneous catalysts, leading to the development of advanced oxidation water purification materials with superior performance and stability. In this study, a series of catalysts with different elemental doping were prepared using a simple and environmentally friendly method. The S-doped NiCo2O4 catalyst showed excellent catalytic performance for the removal of Tetracycline, with significantly increased kinetic constant and high oxidation and mineralization efficiency in a wide pH range. The degradation process was dominated by non-radical oxidation pathway after S doping, and the overall process moved towards low toxicity.
