Heavy duty freight transportation is a key part of global transportation, but is a large contributor to growing CO2 emissions. Here the authors design an on-board system for heavy duty vehicles to capture CO2 as it is released. This supports SDGs 7 (reducing CO2 emissions toward clean energy), 9 (modifications to existing vehicles to mitigate carbon emissions) and 13 (reducing emissions that contribute to climate change).
Background: Evidence suggests that culturally adapted psychological interventions have some benefits in treating diverse ethnic groups. However, the effect of such cultural adaptions specifically in Chinese ethnic groups has not been thoroughly reviewed. We aimed to systematically assess the evidence for the efficacy of different cultural adaptations in treating common mental disorders in people of Chinese descent (ie, ethnic Chinese populations).
This study supports SDG 14 by uncovering how biotas responded to global change during the early Paleocene greenhouse mode.
This research article highlights the importance of the Greenland ice sheet's melting status for global sea level rise and climate change, noting that while inland areas remain stable, marginal areas, particularly on the west coast, are melting significantly at a rate of about 13.27 cm per year, underscoring the urgent need to address the impacts of climate change.
This article explores the potential of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as a treatment for Alzheimer's disease, highlighting the holistic approach of TCM and its promising results in improving cognitive function in Alzheimer's patients. It emphasizes the need for further rigorous clinical trials to validate these findings.

Racial and ethnic disparities among clinical trial participants is a long-standing issue demanding attention in the research community as advances in precision medicine increase. This exclusion from clinical trial enrollment has tangible consequences, preventing traditionally underserved populations from benefitting from health innovation and cutting-edge technologies. Aggregation of populations into a generalized treatment population lends to the evident healthcare inequities we see today and support SDG3
This Article supports SDG 3 by evaluating alanine transaminase antiviral treatments for hepatitis B virus infection in China. The authors suggest the optimal treatment coverage for both cost-effectiveness and mortality reduction based on their findings
This Article supports SDG 3 by evaluating shared-care models with hepatitis B virus testing in China, including an analysis of the cost-effectiveness and the impact on quality of life and mortality.
Background: COVID-19 and the climate crisis have caused unprecedented disruptions across the world. Climate change has affected the mental health and wellbeing of children and adolescent. Young people with a mental illness and without social support are at an increased risk of climate change induced mental ill-health. COVID-19 resulted in a marked increase of psychological distress. Increase in depression, anxiety and insomnia have increased due to the upheavals that people were experiencing including loss of livelihood and breaking of social bonds.
