Cyclophosphamide (CPA) is a commonly used alkylating chemotherapeutic drug that targets rapidly dividing cells causing apoptosis by crosslinking DNA. While effective against neoplasms, CPA can also affect healthy immune cells. This study investigated whether a single dose of CPA alters healthy lymphoid …

Intensive agriculture relies heavily on synthetic fertilizers, causing resource depletion and environmental issues such as nutrient leaching. Biogas liquid digestate offers a nutrient-rich byproduct from anaerobic digestors as a circular alternative source for plant nutrients in closed-loop. Within …

OBJECTIVES: Assessment of malnutrition-related muscle depletion with computed tomography (CT) using skeletal muscle index (SMI) and muscle radiation attenuation (MRA) at the third lumbar vertebra is well validated. However, SMI and MRA values at other vertebral locations and interchangeability as parameters …

Education plays a major role in this paradox: the cultural diversity that is increased by immigration is eliminated by successful education: education aims to maximise the opportunities for every child within the emerging global culture and thus reduce cultural diversity. The road from the Enlightenment …

The generation of food loss and waste is a topic that gained increasing attention over the past years. The most prominent estimate is that a third, or 1.3 billion tons, of the human food produced is wasted every year. The massive overproduction of food products on the one side and the malnutrition of …

Substantial global workforce changes, triggered by COVID-19, magnifies the importance of leader wellbeing. The remote work transition imposes vulnerabilities on leaders, which may lead to detrimental outcomes. Sustainable Human Resource Management practices in wellbeing is a prevalent research topic; …

It is estimated that over 30,000 lesions in the DNA are generated per cell per day. In S-phase, lesions in the DNA can stall replication, which can lead to secondary lesions such as DNA double- strand breaks. The DNA damage tolerance (DDT) network enables replication to be continued in the presence of …

At present, leading international agencies, such as the United Nations Environmental Programme, are largely focused on what they claim to be ‘win-win’ scenarios of ‘sustainable development’ rhetoric. These combine social, economic and environmental objectives. However, as noted by the ‘Scientists’ Warning …

Despite the willingness of many educational institutions worldwide to embrace Education for Sustainable Development and Education for Sustainable Development Goals, critical scholars have pointed out that the very enterprise of sustainable development is not without its contradictions. Therefore, any …
