This review evaluates how AI-driven solutions, especially generative AI, can enhance urban energy resilience to help power systems adapt to and recover from extreme weather events and energy crises. By improving energy efficiency, reliability, and robustness, this approach directly supports the transition to carbon neutrality, which is essential for limiting global temperature increase and mitigating the impacts of climate change.

Climate change threatens global food security by reducing crop yields and increasing environmental stresses, requiring urgent innovation in crop resilience through advanced breeding, genetic engineering, and sustainable practices. To succeed, global collaboration, streamlined regulations, public engagement, and integrating field and lab research are essential for developing adaptable, climate-resilient crops that ensure a sustainable food future.

Background: In Mexico, anemia prevalence among women of reproductive age (WRA) decreased from 16.4% in 2006 to 11.6% in 2012, only to increase to 18.3% in 2016. The factors associated with this fluctuation are uncertain. Objectives: We conducted a systematic in-depth assessment of the quantitative and qualitative determinants of anemia among WRA in Mexico between 2006 and 2018. Methods: Using multivariate stepwise linear regression, we analyzed Mexico's Encuesta Nacional de Salud y Nutrición surveys from 2006, 2012, and 2018 to identify determinants of WRA anemia.

Background: Since 2000, only a few countries have substantially reduced the burden of anemia among women 15–49 y of age. The Exemplars in Anemia Reduction among Women of Reproductive Age (WRA) studied the determinants of success among these countries. Objectives: To describe the methodology used to determine the factors associated with anemia reduction in high-performing countries, with the aim to guide policy and programmatic decisions in other countries with similar sociodemographic and health indices.

Background: Intimate partner violence (IPV) poses a significant threat to the well-being of women and girls and is a highly prevalent form of gender-based violence. Evidence regarding the nutritional implications of IPV has focused primarily on intergenerational relationships with child nutrition and growth. There remains a knowledge gap regarding the association with women's own dietary intake. Objectives: We investigated relationships between past-year IPV (physical, emotional, and sexual) and women's dietary habits, using the Minimum Dietary Diversity for Women tool.

Background: Few countries have succeeded to decrease the prevalence of anemia in women of reproductive age (WRA), and where improvements have been observed, contributing factors are not well understood. Objectives: To synthesize cross-cutting findings from specific exemplar studies in Uganda, Senegal, the Philippines, and Pakistan by reviewing anemia trends, policies, and programs, comparing drivers of change, and proposing strategies to achieve further reductions in WRA anemia.

Introduction: Cash bail reforms that end pretrial detention owing to the inability to afford bail have been highly debated across the U.S. A major concern cited by bail reform opponents is that reducing pretrial detention will increase community violence, particularly violence against women. The objective of this study was to assess whether New Jersey's cash bail reform was associated with changes in rates of fatal violence against women.
