Summary: The cortisol awakening response (CAR) shows a robust circadian rhythm that is influenced by the circadian system. This rhythm persists even after adjusting for prior sleep, suggesting the importance of circadian factors in the physiological response to waking. This has implications for shift workers who wake up at unusual circadian phases and may experience diminished responses to stressors.

Summary: The study revealed that job stress was associated with increased levels of cortisol and cortisone in burnout participants. Changes in DNA methylation of the NR3C1 and SLC6A4 genes were observed in burnout individuals, and some of these methylation changes correlated with burnout symptoms. Increased methylation in a specific CpG in the SLC6A4 gene moderated the association between job stress and burnout, while DNA methylation in this CpG was also associated with increased cortisol levels. Furthermore, average methylation of NR3C1 was negatively associated with cortisone levels.

Summary: Folate and choline supplementation during pregnancy may play a role in fetal brain development, but studies on the associations between maternal folate and choline levels and neurodevelopmental outcomes in children have provided conflicting results. In this study, maternal folate and choline levels during the second trimester were not found to be associated with most of the child outcomes, but an interaction effect was observed on executive function. Maternal folate status and choline intake may not directly impact children's intelligence, language, memory, or motor outcomes, but their interaction may influence executive functions.

Summary: Oil sands process-affected water (OSPW) is a complex mixture of organics that has persistent toxicity. A full-scale test of aging OSPW in end-pit lakes and Base Mine Lake (BML) was carried out over 5 years. The toxicity of OSPW decreased with age due to dilution, but the toxic potency remained the same. Persistent toxicity was observed in aged OSPW, suggesting the need for active water treatment to accelerate detoxification.

Summary: With industrial development in the Athabasca oil sands region (AOSR) in northern Alberta, the atmospheric deposition of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) has increased. The main source of PAHs to moss in the region is the deposition of particles from the atmosphere. PAH concentrations in the near-field AOSR sites were significantly higher than those in the far-field AOSR sites or reference sites in Alberta. The major sources of PAHs in the AOSR were estimated to be delayed petcoke and fine tailings. Dust control measures should be considered to protect human and environmental health, especially in the northern quadrant of the AOSR.

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: 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.
