This chapter explores ethical challenges in the research, development, and commercialization of neural interfaces, aligning with SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-being) by ensuring safe and responsible innovation in neurotechnology, SDG 9 (Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure) through fostering ethical advancement in cutting-edge technologies, and SDG 10 (Reduced Inequalities) by addressing issues of distributive justice and equitable access to emerging neurotechnologies.
International Day of the World's Indigenous Peoples is an annual celebration on August 9th. To raise awareness for this important topic, Elsevier presents a curated list of publicly available journal articles and book chapters to help advance #SDG16 research.
Ceria nanoclusters, with their ultra-small particle size and and targeted peptides, provides substantial penetration of the blood drain barrier for rapid and susptained relief from neuroinflammation.
Given the climate crisis, all sectors must make choices that serve people and planet well into the future. The establishment of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in 2015 shifted the global debates on these issues particularly recognizing that sustainability as a critical lens must be applied not only by public and not-for-profit sectors, but also by philanthropy and private sector.
This study demonstrates that deep learning models, especially Graph Convolutional Networks can effectively and accurately differentiate healthy individuals from those with mild cognitive impairment and Alzheimer's disease, supporting early diagnosis of cognitive decline.
This chapter supports UN SDG 13 (Climate Action), SDG 14 (Life Below Water), and SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-Being) by examining global trends and complex drivers of harmful algal blooms (HABs), which are influenced by climate variability and environmental changes. By highlighting the need for integrative research to understand and mitigate HAB outbreaks, it contributes to protecting marine ecosystems and reducing health risks associated with algal toxins.
This chapter supports SDG 7, 9, and 11 by exploring innovations in renewable energy sources and their potential to facilitate clean transportation alternatives; highlighting the importance of developing sustainable transportation infrastructure and leveraging technological advancements to achieve net-zero emissions; and emphasizing the role of urban planning and design in creating more environmentally friendly and equitable transportation systems.
This chapter aligns with UN SDG goals 3 and 11 by positioning plant-based eating as a positive and beneficial choice to shift public attitudes toward more sustainable food consumption.
