This study analyzes hydrogen production using photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting methods for Ga-doped ZnO electrodes coated on stainless steel. Physical electrochemistry, electrochemical impedance, hydrogen production, X-ray diffraction (XRD), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analyses are performed on uncoated, undoped ZnO-coated, and Ga-doped ZnO-coated electrodes. The parameters of the best-coated electrode obtained by chronoamperometry (CA) analysis are as follows: the electrode is immersed in a dip-coating bath for 4 s, is coated five times, and has a doping ratio of 1%.
The biomechanical behavior and corrosion phenomena of porous metallic implants can compromise their clinical success. This work proposes modifying the surface of c.p. titanium scaffolds manufactured by 3D-printing (Direct Ink Writing), depositing a thin film of a β-Ti alloy (Ti-35Nb-7Zr-5Ta) using the High-Power Impulse Magnetron Sputtering (HiPIMS) technique. The versatility of this technique has enabled the fabrication of conformal coatings with uniform thickness, excellent adhesion, a nanorough surface, and a homogeneous columnar distribution.

The article directly supports SDG 6 (Clean Water and Sanitation) by demonstrating how treated wastewater can provide sustainable water solutions for agriculture in water-scarce North African countries. It also contributes to SDG 2 (Zero Hunger) by addressing food security challenges through innovative water management strategies that sustain agricultural production despite increasing water scarcity.

The article directly connects agricultural water management (AWM) to SDG 2 (Zero Hunger), emphasizing that effective water management is crucial for achieving food security and agricultural transformation in Africa. The policy agenda outlined aligns with both Agenda 2063 and SDG 2, highlighting how accelerated, context-specific AWM can unlock substantial gains in food security, climate resilience, and rural livelihoods. The connection is reinforced through specific targets mentioned in the introduction, where water management is explicitly integrated into five of the six CAADP strategic objectives, supporting goals like 45% increase in agricultural output and 50% reduction in losses. Additionally, the AU's Agenda 2063 aims to enhance water productivity by 60%, capture 10% of rainwater for productive use, and recycle 10% of wastewater, directly supporting sustainable development through improved resource management.

Short summary: This report explains how hurricanes and other long duration extreme wind events can generate repeated cyclic pressures on single axis tracker systems that accumulate as fatigue loading over time. It finds that commonly used standards and analytical approaches may not represent real hurricane cycle counts, pressure amplitudes, or the full module purlin assembly behavior.

The research strongly aligns with SDG 5 (Gender Equality) through its focus on women's empowerment in agricultural decision-making and economic participation. The study also connects to SDG 1 (No Poverty) by demonstrating how agricultural innovations and water management have contributed to poverty reduction and economic opportunities for marginalized groups, particularly women. The circular economy model described, where women engage in rice production while men focus on vegetables, creates sustainable livelihoods that support both gender equality and poverty alleviation goals. Finally, the article strongly connects to SDG 6 (Clean Water and Sanitation) through its focus on water management innovations and infrastructure development.

The article is closely linked to five key SDGs through its emphasis on gender equality and social inclusion (GESI) in agricultural water management. SDG 2 (Zero Hunger) highlights the critical role women play in food production and food security, underscoring the importance of ensuring equal access to water resources. SDG 5 (Gender Equality) focuses on reducing gender disparities, including unequal access to water resources and irrigation technologies. SDG 6 (Clean Water and Sanitation) calls for gender‑responsive approaches to water management. SDG 10 (Reduced Inequalities) stresses the need to ensure that marginalized groups, such as women and smallholder farmers, have equal rights to land and water resources. SDG 13 (Climate Action) advocates for integrating gender‑sensitive strategies into climate adaptation efforts related to agricultural water management. By aligning GESI principles with these SDGs, the article illustrates how inclusive approaches to agricultural water management can promote sustainable practices that alleviate poverty, strengthen food security, and support environmental sustainability, while also advancing social justice.
