Front-of-pack nutrition labels (FOPNLs) have been developed since 1989 to curb the increasing prevalence of obesity and non-communicable diseases (NCDs) and to promote healthy consumption choices. While several countries have introduced their own labeling schemes on a voluntary basis, the European Commission aims to harmonize a FOPNL system that will be mandatory for all member states. This paper summarizes a contribution to the current debate on FOPNLs from Italian and Spanish researchers working in the fields of human nutrition, nutritional epidemiology and public health education and communication policy before the final decision on FOPNLs to become mandatory in Europe is taken.

Developing new conductive primers to ensure electrostatic spraying is crucial in response to the call for lightweight production of new energy vehicles. We report a stabilized material, Fe-T/G, of Fe-doped TiO composite graphene synthesized by a simple hydrothermal and electrostatic self-assembly method. The resistivity decreases from 0.

Article Synopsis
  • Glucose sensing is essential for managing diabetes, and this study explores NbCT-selenium nanoparticles for effective nonenzymatic glucose detection.
  • The composite material was characterized using techniques like scanning and transmission electron microscopy, and it was tested on a gold disc electrode in an alkaline solution.
  • The sensor operates at a low overpotential of 0.16 V, demonstrating a detection range of 2 to 30 mM, with a notable sensitivity of 4.15 µA mM cm and a detection limit of 1.1 mM.

Article Synopsis
  • The study analyzed the pyrolysis behaviors of rice husk (RH) and rice straw (RS) using various scientific techniques, revealing distinct stages of pyrolysis for each organic material.
  • The activation energies for the different components (pseudo-hemicellulose, pseudo-cellulose, and pseudo-lignin) were calculated, showing varying levels of energy requirement between RH and RS.
  • RS demonstrated better pyrolysis performance and produced a greater variety of valuable by-products compared to RH, indicating potential for utilization in agriculture, bioenergy, and chemical sectors.

Background: Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is a highly aggressive brain tumor, characterized by its poor prognosis. Glycolipid metabolism is strongly associated with GBM development and malignant behavior. However, the precise functions of snoRNAs and ADARs in glycolipid metabolism within GBM cells remain elusive.
