This chapter includes a brief overview of the historical development of public health and the emergence of the planetary health movement. Since the 1960s, human behavior has been central to public health concerns and functions.

Solar panels are a good alternative to fossil fuels. However, despite their numerous advantages, their most important limitation is dependence on environmental conditions. To solve this problem, energy storage systems are used with solar panels. To set a fixed output voltage requires designing a strong switching system to use stored energy when solar energy drops below the required value due to environmental conditions, and to store it in a storage system when there is a surplus of solar energy.

This chapter intends to systematize the trends and approaches that will inspire local policymaking in response to climate change challenges and to meet European guidelines and recommendations for sustainable development and quality of life improvement. The analysis explores relevant components for promoting health and sustainable behavior, namely smart living, smart health (as a part of the smart economy), and smart governance (i.e., participatory, anticipatory, and innovative).

Rising human populations and energy demands have triggered the scientific community to explore renewable and sustainable energy sources, along with enhancing technologies associated with energy storage and electrocatalytic applications. Nanoclay has gained significant attention in recent years for various applications, of which energy storage and electrocatalytic applications are the most significant domains.

Nanomaterials have become an important area of research for scientists worldwide for their application in energy generation, energy conversion, and energy storage, self-powered devices, etc. It is in high need to find alternate energy sources to the traditional ones for a sustainable environment. Therefore it is important to work on using the excellent properties of nanomaterials to conquer the limitations in selecting materials and fabrication techniques for efficient energy generation instruments to substitute conventional energy storage and energy sources.

This article examines gender differences in the choices of undergraduate students at a French university who are competing for seats at foreign universities to fulfill a mandatory exchange program requirement. The authors find that average- and high-ability female students request universities that are worse-ranked than their male peers, and survey results suggest that male students prioritize the academic characteristics of exchange universities whereas female students consider both academic and non-academic characteristics.

The first RCT of AI-supported mammography screening; shows the intervention results in increased cancer detection rates than standard double reading and reduces reading workload by >40%. Also important as breast cancer is the most common cancer affecting women globally.

This article examines the main places and characteristics of mathematics education for girls and young women in primary and secondary schools during the 19th and early 20th century. It looks at, in particular, the mathematical content that pupils learned in these schools and the aims of the teaching they received. It shows how female mathematics teaching differed from its male counterpart by responding to various gender stereotypes referring to the ‘nature’ and social role of women. The article also presents to what extent the girls’ mathematics programs were progressively aligned with those of boys, until they became almost identical from the 1920s onwards.

The article explores the experiences of 19 cisgender migrant women (MW) living in Milan, Italy during the COVID-19 pandemic.
