This article advances SDG # 15 and # 11 by investigating one of the factors leading to the global decline of bee populations. Pathogens, which need overcome the insect defenses such as the physical barriers, the body cuticle and peritrophic matrix (primary defenses), as well as the secondary defenses with antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) and the enzyme lysozyme were evaluated according to cuticle maturation.
Two green gown award winning buildings, built in 2004 and 2017, were investigated. Features include rainwater harvesting, sensing and photovoltaic panel systems. Sustainability features delivered only 28–71% of their potential resource savings. The performance gaps were due to technical, human, and economic factors.
Mobility as a Service (MaaS) is a recent concept that is gaining momentum in both the scientific world and the private sector.
