Summary: This paper explores the different research traditions in urban health and identifies five key traditions: sustainable urban development, urban ecosystem services, urban resilience, healthy urban planning, and urban green spaces. The paper also introduces a framework for differentiating between these research traditions based on the scale of the urban health issues, the conceptualization of the urban context and health, and the paradigmatic differences. The authors emphasize the importance of reflecting on the different approaches and seeking coherence to produce transdisciplinary knowledge for improving health in urban systems.

Summary: Wheat is a globally grown cereal and is used as the main ingredient in foods like bread, cakes, and pasta. Processing these foods can lead to the formation of toxic contaminants, raising concerns about food safety. Research on processing contaminants in wheat-based foods is lacking in up-to-date information, and there is limited study on commercial samples from different regions.

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic has tested global healthcare resilience and many previously considered 'resilient' countries have performed poorly. Existing organizational and system frameworks tend to be context-dependent and focus heavily on physical capacities. This study explores and synthesizes evidence about healthcare resilience and presents a unified framework for future resilience-building.

Summary: This study analyzes 491 literature on marine accidents from 2000 to 2022 in the Web of Science database to obtain the knowledge network map, research hotspots, research evolution, and knowledge frontiers using traditional literature analysis, CiteSpace, and VOSviewer. The study finds a close cooperative relationship among journals, researchers, research institutions, and countries or regions. The research on marine accidents can be divided into the analysis of influential factors and accident consequences, as well as the development of traditional and emerging technology methods. This study provides a theoretical basis and implementation direction for the development of maritime safety by visualizing collaborative networks, analyzing evolution trends, revealing research hotspots, and comparing mainstream approaches in marine accident research.

Summary: Research on rhodolith beds is relatively limited compared to other coastal vegetated habitats, but it is increasing over time. The majority of research comes from the USA, with a shift in focus from geological and paleontological aspects to molecular taxonomy, conservation, and ecophysiology. Research on ecosystem services and carbon sequestration in rhodolith beds is still limited.

Summary: This study provides a comprehensive summary of cobalt extraction and recovery research from 2012 to 2021 through bibliometric analysis. By analyzing a dataset of 4967 publications, the most influential journals, countries, authors, institutions, and publications were identified, and keyword co-occurrence networks were mapped. The research hotspots shifted from early methods for determination of cobalt in solution to recovery of cobalt from spent lithium batteries, smelting slag, and copper-cobalt ore. Future research will focus on improving and optimizing the separation, extraction, and recovery processes of cobalt from spent batteries, with three approaches proposed to facilitate economization and industrialization of the processes in this field.

Summary: This study proposes the usage of social media for collecting and consolidating disaster data to provide a cost-effective and fast economic evaluation process. Through a systematic literature review, the authors offer a taxonomy and conduct an economic assessment of a flooding disaster in Brazil based on text mining of Twitter messages. The results demonstrate the feasibility of delivering a multisector disaster economic evaluation report solely based on social media, and show that it is a valuable tool for the design and implementation of public policies.
